This years team is really good but hasn’t done anything yet, they have yet to even surpass the teams from the past 2 seasons. I’ll take the 08 Celtics over this team.

Short memories here, as well as I'm guessing half the current CS members did not see the '86 team.
Ranking all the players from both teams, Kevin McHale is the second best after Bird. I'll take McHale over Tatum all day long.
Derrick White or Jrue Holiday better than Hall-of-Fame, 3x champion, finals MVP Dennis Johnson ? Kinda ridiculous.
Also, don't forget that Parish averaged a high 20+/12+ double-double per game in Golden State before he sacrificed for the team in Boston.
As long as we are comparing, I'll take the '84 team over '23 as well. They would have pounded this current group into dust on the offensive boards.

I’ve always thought the 84 team was underrated - they weren’t as dominant as 86, but I like Max over Walton and Henderson over Sichting. Plus they beat the Lakers
