Celtics vs Cavs,Wizards,Raptors,Hawks,Bucks

[Tr1boy]

Easy question. Are Cavs,Wizards,Raptors,Hawks,Bucks better than the Celtics right now??

If none of these teams are not better, than why do the Celtics have no chance to make the playoffs??

If one or several of these teams are better, how are they better??

[CelticsFan9]

I could see any of those six teams making or missing the playoffs for different reasons.

I think it's evident Miami, Chicago, Indiana, Brooklyn, and New York are five locks to make the playoffs.

The other three spots are up for grabs.

How r cavs and wiz better?

[Boris Badenov]

Without knowing details of Rondo's return - when, and at what level of play - I think these questions are pretty much unanswerable right now.

How r cavs and wiz better?

Cavs have Irving, Bynum, Varejao, Waiters, Thompson, Bennett, etc. Wizards have Wall, Beal, Okafor, Nene, Porter, Webster, etc. so if both teams are healthy than yes they are better than the Cs.

I'd also say Raptors and Hawks are better than Cs.

Your serious right? What has wall and irving done the last several years? What have porter and bennett proven? As far as i know olynyk is ahead with his sl performance.

Waiters? bradley is more proven and a better player.

The thing is this, not stating if okafor/nene and bynum/varejao are healthy and play well these teams are not better. But these are big ifs.

When Wall was playing the Wizards were 24-25 and don't get me wrong it wasn't amazing, but you have to realize that Beal and other guys were injured so it wasn't to bad. Also we are talking about a team that was 5-28 without him so the guy is a winner. Wizards have vastly improved and should have a winning record next season. As for Irving the guy is going to be a SUPERSTAR and now with a good supporting cast the Cavs should have a good season. Also you have to realize that these guys were drafted not very long ago so of course they haven't done much (playoff wise) as both were #1 picks and usually #1 picks go to bad teams. Also what exactly did Rondo do last year?


Lol Waiters has much more potential and will be better (if he isn't already) than Bradley. Bradley is a one trick pony and that is all he will ever be. Bradley shot .402 FG% last year and had to attempt 9.6 shots a game to score 9.2 points. Dion Waiters shot .412 FG% and attempted 13.4 shots a game to score 14.7 points and that isn't good, but he is a rookie. Bradley is probably the most overrated Celtic right now.

If one or several of these teams are better, how are they better??

The Hawks and Wizards are definitely better.

The Bucks and Cavs could very well be better, and even the Raptors could be.

I wouldn't put money on the Celtics being better than any of those teams.

How is it that Atlanta is 'unlikely to make the playoffs' when they were pretty decent last season and exchanged Josh Smith and Zaza Pachulia for Paul Millsap and Elton Brand?

I think one could easily make the case that the Hawks may have improved this offseason.

2013 wizard team wins 29 last year and havent made the playoffs in a lifetime and they are better? Wall is better than rondo? Wiz dont even have a legit sf

Hawks lost smith and he is a better player than milsap and brand combined.

Yet they went 24-25 with Wall so that is saying alot. Ainge would trade Rondo for Wall in a heartbeat. They have Martell Webster and Ottor Porter.

Either way the Hawks have a pretty decent team and they have Lou Williams back.

I like the premise, these are the teams we will be in the mix with

If celts got wall i would puke. The guy is not a pure pg and likes to chuck the ball frequently. Cant believe u mentioned webster and porter. First webster hasnt lived up to expectations and porter was prob the worse sl rookie for a top 10 pick. Hasnt proven anything

Wizards havent picked up much help this yr and i cant see them being any better this upcoming yr.
