LOL Clippers

[D.o.s.]

I am try to figure out which will be a bigger overreaction:

This game


or


If the Celtics win their opening game.

Do you mean here?  I think Laker fans will irrationally overrate their team after this game way more than Celtics fans will if we beat the Raptors.  Here it'd probably be a bit closer.

...honestly that's one of my favorite things about the win, the Laker fans are going to get their expectations much too high.

If "irrationally overrating their team" means we think we are better than 12th in the West, then I guess a lot of us will "overrate" this team - Whether you like it or not, take away the 4th quarter, and we looked just as good, if not better, than the Clippers for most of the game. We play better without Dwight and Artest. They were/are absolutely miserable on offense, and dragged us down - We can make our free throws now, we can run, we can defend on the perimeter with our quick wing players/guards. We have a solid bench this year (IMO, better than our starters).

I'm going to enjoy not having expectations this year, and watching some of the teams who have it (i.e. Houston, Clippers, etc.) fail. Your Celtics might suprrise some people, as well. We'll have to see.

Actually, to be truthful, I'm about much more worried about our starters than our bench. They just look like slugs. If they can perform, I'm pretty confident in this team.

I will say that after the first quarter (which looked like it was going to be a blowout, even with the score so close), you guys definitely walked all over the Clips.
