Last year we were robbed of witnessing Kyrie in the playoffs. Hopefully we get to see him in action this year. If we do, it will answer all the question marks and doubters. He is here to win championships, he is clutch, and is best in the playoffs.

The young guys who are fighting for contracts (Rozier) and shine (everyone else) welcome back Gordon and Kyrie and all the minutes they take from them. Thats why the team isn't as happy this year.

But when the playoffs come, no one will care about minutes and shine, they will only care about winning.

 Tommy point bro. I was just talking about the same thing with a friend the regular season is just jockeying for position and it's more about players especially young players wanting to get their numbers up so they can get paid big dollars eventually.

 The playoffs will show us what this team is truly made of.

TP. Only one problem - we will not have home court advantage in the 2nd round, maybe not even in the first, but I think the Pacers will cool off.

The answer to everything is getting everyone healthy.

The playoffs will certainly provide an answer; whether we'll like that answer remains to be seen.

I agree.

I am not sure Kyrie has even decided his future yet.

A deep playoff run could certainly sway him to stay in Boston.

A deep playoff run could also make the Celtics more appealing to AD.

BUT...Toronto and Milwaukee are going to be tough.

I'm not that scared. A series againt them could go either way, we always seem to play them close (with the exception of the last Bucks game, where Maker and Snell hit 8 or 9 threes). All of the top east teams, except us, have had virtually no injuries to their top guys, which is a big factor. We havent been healthy all season (Hayward has just started rounding into form)

I agree...preserving Kyrie and Al is vital to this teams success.

They will not care if they don't have HC. Health is more important...sure they want to win as many games as possible with the remaining schedule but this team is built for the playoffs. Hayward is the key here...If he stops scoring  those paltry 5 points or 3 points here and there then I that is the only time I will feel certain he is back. people seems to feel that this team without Kyrie is already good but I can tell ya all, we ain't getting pass round 2 without KI. Irving is just a different animal come playoff time.

I can’t wait for the fuggin playoffs man.  It’ll be nice to not hear the media squabble about the Celtics in the meaningless regular season.

Not really, everyone healthy means less minutes to go around, leading to more discontent amongst players. But lack of minutes won't bother everyone as much in the playoffs.

Eh getting healthy is pretty important.  We need Baynes for a lot of matchups and his screen setting and defensive impact is underrated.

Wrong.

If we have everyone healthy, we can win it all.

I feel like if everyone is healthy, we play at a lightning speed, run teams ragged with our depth, have a hot shooting streak, we are in with a really good shot.

Right but only if Kyrie is out.  ::)
