With all this chatter back and forth between Doc and Giannis, and the Heat's not so good start; maybe Brad new what he was doing and we avoided a potential problem...just saying.  Oh, and I really like PG and so do his Boston teammates.

I mean we also get these back and forth between JT and JB and doesn't help that the media keeps hyping it

I would argue that there is no back and forth, really. It is more of JB and the media (and Scal) stirring the pot, pretending there is a back and forth.

It?s the medias job to ask questions. How JB and JT answer determines whether there is back and forth. JB saying ?He's got a great PR team. There's no beef... but there might be a little lamb chops and some gravy. He should stay ready at all times, creates back and forth.

The media does more than ask questions.  For instance, Scal, literally making stuff up and inserting himself into the story.  SAS last year picking fights, etc.  Media members are a lot more than neutral observers or facilitators of stories; they create a lot of the drama.

In the present case, JB is the primary driver, but the media plays a big role in keeping that going.  I think LilRip's larger point was that JT really hasn't engaged, other than the one time clearing the air.

I never said they didn?t do more than that. These JB quotes are from interviews with beat reporters. When they asked him whether he was going to talk to Jayson before/after the game, He could?ve easily said I don?t know, we?ll see. Then it?s a non-story. Instead, he says, it?s nothing to talk about. Same with his lamb chop comment. I don?t mind it as it keeps things interesting, but JB is choosing to make it a story while Jayson is just trying to move on from it all.

After a convincing win against Philly, The Celtics are now in first place. Boom

[Birdman]

George seems a better fit with Tatum. You know he loving it what he did to Philly!! So far this trade looking great but it?s a long season

[LilRip]

Lots of season to go but let us all enjoy the win! Go Cs! This team is a really fun team to watch

B2B and 3 days off and another B2B... Terrible..

[Goldstar88]

Celtics are now 10-2. Tied with the Lakers for the best record in the league.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

B2B and 3 days off and another B2B... Terrible..

we will just have to suck it up  a nd deal with it! 

[Phantom255x]

ESPN has us fourth in BPI after OKC, SAS, and NYK.

I really like this team.

That's crazy

I predict 48-34, and probably 4 or 5 seed in the East

I may have been wrong. 52+ wins and a Top-3 seed feel likely assuming health for the most part

Robinson is the defensive presence we need to match up against larger size in the playoffs.  Queta and Garza cannot do that, so if any unlikely trade were to happen, we'd need size in return.

We could use some shot creation, Simons would have been a decent option, which helps in general and if PG gets hurt.
