I mean, I know things can go wrong.  Guys can get hurt (see this year), guys can clash, maybe not develop as expected and all that.

But I mean, 2019 is ours!

No other team save for GS will have the collection of versatile guys that can defend, shoot, pass, drive than the Celtics will have next year.  And we'll have it 1-5 at the end of games. 

Tatum and Brown will be stars NEXT YEAR, even if their numbers don't show it. 

I can go on for days on this.

If the Celtics are healthy, they have an excellent shot at taking it all next season.

With or without making any major moves.

I'd be surprised if we aren't in the Finals.  From there, not so sure with GS able to return their core next year.  Celts will definitely have a shot though.  I think Gordon will surprise us with just how good he is, too.

Yes. I think so. GSW look tired (from recent title and near-title runs) and ripe for a beating from a young hungry talented team. GSW not as hungry as they once were.

Gotta see what other teams do on offseason (especially 76ers), how our stars come back from injuries and how big a jump our young guys make. We will have a shot.

I think you can look at this year much like the 2009 season with Garnett down (even though that team was proven).  I would consider a healthy Celtics team likely to make the NBA Finals, but not to win.

Yes, we are.

And I haven't given up hope for this year either.

With or without making any major moves.

Which is exactly why Ainge shouldn't be making any major trades unless Anthony Davis suddenly becomes available (he isn't).

Completely agree with both of these takes.

Let's not talk about it. I fear the jinx and everything is determined on health.

Let's hope these Celts go looking enough to bring back smart, kyrie and Hayward, this year. One can dream.... 🙃

It might be one of those years where the defending champs might or a Lebron team isn't the favorite, how's that for saying something while dodging the jinx?

But holy cow. If we can keep Monroe especially, and Irving and Gordy come back 100%, at least by Christmas... all 5 starters and at least 3 bench players could legit average 20 on most teams. That's the top 8, possibly a playoff rotation by itself. I mean, if we really did roll with those 8, we're going to see some 140, 145 point games pretty often.
