I didn?t believe in this Celtics roster. Thought they?d be play-in team, best case. Really glad to be wrong and I?m now psyched for the rest of the season.

If Tatum comes back in February/March and Brad is able to make a few tweaks to the bench by the deadline..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I?m glad you were wrong too. But in fairness I don?t think anyone was expecting what we?ve seen so far.  Even Moranis on another thread admitted that this team with JT could represent the East. We?ll have come full circle when TennS compliments Joe for the job he?s done so far.   I?m dying to know what is in Brads head right now - who he wants to target.

I was also wrong. I also didn't think the East was gonna be this bad and that some teams like MIL and IND (even without Haliburton) were gonna completely implode.

NY and DET feel like the only real threats in the East. Cleveland has been very iffy and Orlando is also iffy while also dealing with some injuries, and they might have lost Franz Wagner for a bit too. But if JT comes back and they add another big man, this team can contend against anyone in the East for sure. The West? Admittedly there's still 3 teams probably better but whatever.

I didn't think they were going to tank, i never understood that idea given the talent they have. But I also didn't think they'd be THIS good. Maybe 42-44 wins, right now they look like they might challenge for 50.

The emergence of Walsh, Queta, Minott and to lesser degrees the solid contributions of Scheierman/Hugo are a complete game changer. This team NEEDS cheap contributors to be able to keep together the Tatum/Brown/White core, and they've found some this year. Walsh especially looks like he may be the glue-guy 5th starter 3+D wing they desperately need.

Add one more rotation center, not even a starter just another roughly Queta level guy to split the minutes at center with him. Get JT back. Do those two things and I think they could make real noise this year. The east is so bad they may challenge for it even if those two things don't happen.
