If I had to take a stab at what I think will happen this year, I think we're going to the finals, and we won't be the pushover that CLE was the last 2 years.

We return 90% of the minutes played last year.  Hayward and Kyrie only accounted for 10% of the team’s minutes last year.  Not only will there be an incredible amount of familiarity with the team that wasn’t present entering last season, the team won 55 games with two of their top 3 players combining for 10% of the team’s minutes.  That number should at least be 20% this year.  The sky is the limit for the Celtics this season.

I tend to be pessimistic about my favorite sports teams, but in the spirit of trying to change that, I predict that the Celtics will win 60+ games, win the East by at least 4 games, and top the Warriors in the Finals in 6.

By the playoffs, Hayward and Irving are fully integrated into a lethal, impossibly flexible rotation. Top-5 defense and offense. They get to the finals and sneak past Golden State in game 7 at TD Garden.

Meanwhile, the Kings and the ping pong balls give Boston the second pick in the 2019 draft, and they add Cam Reddish. He develops at a pace halfway between Jaylen and Jayson, quickly giving the Cs another 6’9” star with long arms who can be a primary ball handler, tough defender, and three-level scorer. Rob Will develops into a defensive presence and good roll man. By the time the Cs are competing for their third title in 2021, they roll out the deepest, most switchable lineup in league history and win more than 70 games.

By the playoffs Opening Night, Hayward and Irving are fully integrated into a lethal, impossibly flexible rotation. Top-5 defense and offense. They get to the finals and sneak past crush Golden State in game 7 4 at TD Garden GSW.

The NBA's 'Best of the Boston Celtics 2018' Highlight Package

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odZ4Zgjf6hM

I hate to admit it but of all the highlight compilation videos on youtube I think I like the official NBA page's best. That feels boring and, like, I should have a particular guy whose style I like a lot but in turns out I'm boring and I want to see the play and the NBA does just that.

Anyway, there's a lot here to feel very good about.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

The ultimate, optimistic, feel good video...

Smart looking athletic in the offseason...

and Brown looking jacked...



I got these from Celtics Life.  http://www.celticslife.com/2018/07/marcus-smart-and-jaylen-brown-looking.html

Jaylen literally looks like a golden god in that picture, TP. He's gonna make the All-star team this year. In fact, the Celtics pretty much will BE the Eastern All-star team this year.  :D

We're getting our revenge on Cleveland tonight!

Ok, just a little revenge. But still.
