I just don't see them winning the championship.
Yes, I know that anything is possible once the playoffs roll around. They can go on a crazy, miracle run and win it...but realistically, evaluating other teams, our situation, etc., what are honestly the chances of this happening?
I root for them and I truly hope that somehow, someway they can win the NBA title this season, but just not fully, 100% buying into it. LeBron can single handedly destroy this team, if we happen to meet up with MIA again. I'm not saying the C's can't give the Heat fits or pose a serious hurdle for them, but the cards are just way too stacked against the Celtics in that series and probably almost any series with the situation this team is in. I can't see them making it through 4 rounds, having to go through NYK, whomever they would play in round 2, MIA and then most likely one of the Western Conference powerhouses. A lot of luck is going to be needed, many things have to fall into place.
I honestly hope I am wrong. We will see.
Sorry for being a pessimist, but I just don't want to expect something and then be let down. If they win, great..I was wrong, but I'll be happy about it. If not, it won't sting as much.
You're not being a pessimist. We are not title contenders. That's the realest of all realities.
