My God this board is insufferable after a loss.
Celtics are not going to win 82 games. This was a bad loss. But honestly they just looked tired. Everyone was front running shots, missing fts.
And for those saying we haven't beaten anybody. You do realize our strength of schedule has been tougher than Philly or Milwaukee. We mostly have played teams above .500
We have played Philly twice and split and played the Timberwolves and lost and beat the heat.
What are the other good teams we beat? I’m waiting for someone to provide an answer. It’s a bunch of middling average , non contending teams. Pacers without haliburton. Knicks twice, raptors twice, nets, wizards and grizzlies.
The numbers can say whatever they want but that’s not impressive.
And yet the teams we beat have a higher wins % than whom Philly and Milwaukee have beaten and we have a better record than both of them. I doubt you would apply the same criticism to them even though they have worse records and beat worse teams
That's the point. Sorry the schedule doesn't have them facing contenders every night.
No team does. But the fact is they've faced a tough schedule and have the best record in the NBA. Have a top 5 defense and offense and 6 players averaging double figures.
It's pretty clear top teams in East are the usual Celtics, bucks, Philly, Miami will be in there somewhere.
There will be losses and nights guys play like garbage. That's just how it is in the NBA. No one goes 82-0
Or are we going to go through this extreme negativity every loss?
