    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    I'll never understand this perspective on sports talk. The Celtics, even with all the great moves they made, at the start of the season were +450 to win it all. That's 18.2% to win it all. After a historically great regular season, where basically everything that could have gone right has gone...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Oh I agree that the confluence of bad rebounding and TOs creating a shot differential is a danger for the team. I just don't think this Knicks game is a relevant data point, or even a jumping off point for the discussion. Going hard for boards and loose balls is the last thing this team should...

    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    Hey man, I'm with you! I voted they're going to win it all. I think they have a better shot than anyone else. I'm just pre-emptively shaking my head at the folks who will call this season a failure and the players frauds if the ball doesn't bounce their way.

    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    This team is primed to disappoint. Not because they're not great. They're historically great. But because the expectations are entirely unrealistic. As of right now, 75% of people think they're winning it all here. I chose a 16-10ish Banner 18, but I think they could just as easily go down in...

    2023-24 Celtics

    This feels like the number one symptom of the not caring everyone's referencing. When one team cares about the win a lot, and the other not at all, the last thing you should be getting concerned about is how well they did on the boards or getting to loose balls. If it hasn't been an issue all...

    Estimate at draft was 8 feet.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I agree that the Bucks definitely showed something last night. A few thoughts: This team looks totally different with Giannis, for better and for worse. A few of the concerns here are partly alleviated by Giannis being on the floor, I think. Lillard has a much tougher time getting to the cup...

    3/18 - Pistons @ Cs.

    Tillman's defense is insane.

    Do we need a Celtics Announcing thread?

    This is 100% my feeling on it. I think Drew is 100% genuine and enjoying himself, and he makes Scal go from intolerable to mildly entertaining with the better dynamic.

    3/17 Cs @ Wizards

    That end of quarter shot was cold blooded

    2023-24 Celtics

    Just going back through standings on Basketball Reference, I'm pretty sure this 9.5 game lead on 2nd place in the conference is the largest conference lead any team has had by this date in 10 years, since the Heat over the 2nd place Pacers on 3/12 in 2013. Teams don't pull away from the field...

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Yeah and isn't that embarrassing now, to have only made it to OT in the Super Bowl. Really not understanding the rush to clown on the 49ers. I'd trade every aspect of the Patriots organization for every aspect of the 49ers.

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Woof. I think my brain still doesn't really accept that 2004 was 20 years ago

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    I feel like we're back in 2024 and I'm listening to people talk about Andy Reid.

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    People said the same shit about Reid for like, decades. Even if he loses this one, Shanahan is a top 5 coach easy.
