What's up with all this no business crap....the Celtics are one of the best teams in the East.

Yes I?m well aware. That?s a great credit to them to be one of the best teams in the east without their best player and a middling roster.Not sure what?s so hard to understand.

Jaylen BALL HOG Brown....I'm hating this garbage, been reading his own clippings lately.

and they interview White after the 3rd and he says we need make less mistakes than them....he makes the turnover that changes the game.

[satch]

Seemed a little tired. If they stay healthy and rested, I think the C's have a chance to win the East. As for the future-I think Simons and Gonzalas have chances to be all-star type players. But unfortunately, financially that would necessitate a major trade.

It?s either the Celtics are doing what they?re doing magically, players playing above their place, coach pulling all the right strings. Or, the roster may just be better than anyone thought.  As I watched their first half tonight, I just kept thinking - they?ve got weapon after weapon.  Brown, White, Simons, Pritchard, Hauser.  They have a legit starting center who has terrific energy, their backup center is playing like a legit backup center. They have a couple of young madmen on defense - who can also hit the three.  Yeah - I was thinking that the roster is pretty good.  Of course they went and sucked in the fourth.  But overall maybe the Cs are right where the should be - in the top quadrant of the East.

Disappointing to lose at home to a Jokic-less Nuggets team. Can?t win much with White AND Pritchard shooting so poorly.

That?s fair.
The east overall is incredibly weak and maybe I underrate our roster. I?m not trying to be negative, actually the opposite. I love this years team and how competitive they are?I was expecting play in team at best, and am not overly critical of them losing to the nuggets even without Jokic. They?ve been the best team in the league the last few weeks, probably a little worn out.
