You can tell with this team what kind of game its going to be within the first 5 minutes of the 1st quarter.


I?m glade you said this , i  ve seemed to notice too?..generally I get an early feeling when they are just not right.    They did not play together , dribble too much , not keep the ball moving crisp.  With Jrue  out and PP seemingly not making a huge difference.  I could see the Mavs confidence  building .  I thought the C?s were going to loose.  They are predictable.

Need to go better than 4-4 to reach the 40/20 threshold

Unfortunately I don't think this team has what it takes to win 4 of their next 5 with their sloppiness all year long...

@ Knicks
@ Heat
vs Spurs
@ 76ers
vs Knicks

Thinking we'll drop both Knicks games, home date with the Spurs, and at 76ers.

Of course you do. You?re the Celtics? version of a Debbie Downer 😂

Who knows with this team. They could just as easily win all of them except the Heat game haha

Sparz expecting we will lose 4 of 5 just made me feel more confident of our chances...he has the reverse Midas touch in terms of predictions. Going to Draftkings to put the opposite of his predictions now  ;D

On a more serious note, this team tends to bounce back when they've just been embarrassed...as if they want to tell us "we just lost because we didn't care...look how good we are when we care". So I'm expecting a solid 4-5 game run before they get bored and stop caring again  :angel:
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

This is Sparz, and why we love him/her (and why I root for his takes lol)



Too bad we didn't blow a 3-0 lead in last year's Finals either  ;) :)
