And you can't vote Coach Joe.   ;)

NBC Sports Boston posted the same poll.  Curious about thoughts here.

I said Philly at beginning of season and sticking to it.  Still think we're not just winning the East but winning the title this season.

Philly is the top threat. I would put Miami ahead of Milwaukee as the 2nd biggest threat.

The Celtics biggest threat…

Themselves

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Sixers, but to me Miami is the 2nd threat. Milwaukee a distant 3rd.

Team wise, I'd say Philly, followed by Indy in the East.  Denver in the West.

I said Sixers because the refs will stretch it to 7 games. all it takes is a (Tatum) sprained ankle.

I voted "Other," because the biggest threat to Boston is ... Boston.

If Boston consistently plays as "the best version of itself," I don't think anyone can beat them in a series. If Boston doesn't win the title this season, it'll be because of a) injuries, or b) the Cs can't get out of their own way, especially in late-game situations.

Yeah, agreed.

Milwaukee. I don't expect them to improve everything, but I think they will get better.

After Embiid’s 70, the coaching change in Milwaukee, and the lateral move in Miami, it’s Philly in my mind.
