Boston finishes first in the East...Philly and Raps have to play each other in the second round. Sets up nicely for the Celtics.
Jumping the gun there, Orlando.
Exactly. Worst thing that could happen to Celts happened.
Leonard is like another Lebron. People already forget
Not a chance man. James on another level.
How is this the worst thing that could have happened to the Celtics? Boston adding 2 all stars to a young core that went 7 with the best player in the world? And then James leaves the East? I will take that trade off everyday.
You already forgot
Leonard is just a tad below but younger and better defender
This is crazy talk. Leonard is definitely a better shooter and defender than Lebron, but Lebron is a much better player in every other aspect than Leonard, especially offensively. What makes Lebron so good offensively is his versatility, which Leonard just can’t compete with offensively. Also, Lebron never had this injury concern that Leonard is dealing with.
Leonard is definitely All-NBA talent, but I’ve long thought that he’s been significantly overrated. I still view him best fit as a complementary star or a 1B option.
Toronto is definitely a better two-way team now, but they will miss Derozan’s playmaking and scoring. Boston and Toronto are clearly the two top teams in the East now, but we’re still the definitive favorites, especially with Leonard’s injury uncertainty.
