Starting point guard and starting center, didn't even play.best player bad shooting night. second best player 8 turnovers. and a relatively easy win.
And we still don't have last year's arguable DPOY back yet.Celtics are professional killers.
The depth of the team reminds me of mid-90s Kentucky.
Was thinking late 90s DukeCeltics are professional killers.

And still won without much fret. 10 assists from your forward is impressive.Nice job by Tatum beefing up his stat line by getting fouled late in a game where New Orleans was never going to catch up. 19 points on 18 shots looks a lot better than 14 points on 18 shots
That's a bold statement. Great thought exercise to compare them to the 86 juggernaut.This Celtics team has more very good players than any Celtics team in the past 50 years.
No. But with their depth, they have the luxury of getting him healthy-healthyBrogdon definitely looked rusty, but glad to have him back. Is Marcus hurt-hurt?
Was the one to Grant on the baseline knocked out of his hands? I thought that looked like an unbelievable dish.Tatum with ten dimes.
Yeah 86 is probably top-3 or maybe top-5 all time.That's a bold statement. Great thought exercise to compare them to the 86 juggernaut.
I thought knocked out. Announcers too. I don't think they gave him an assist.Was the one to Grant on the baseline knocked out of his hands? I thought that looked like an unbelievable dish.
It was not. But it was sort of accidental at first but then Tautm followed through with his hands. It was like oopsish but no I got this.Was the one to Grant on the baseline knocked out of his hands? I thought that looked like an unbelievable dish.
They changed it. It was not knocked out.I thought knocked out. Announcers too. I don't think they gave him an assist.
Our bench mops the floor with their bench. Celtics are top 1.I'ma gonna say something, kids. This team is top-2. The other is Milwaukee. That right now is your Finals. Enjoy the ride.
I'm excited too. But, Middleton still isn't back and the rotations will shorten in the playoffs. The Bucks are real competition in the East.Our bench mops the floor with their bench. Celtics are top 1.
For sure. I’m gamethread green teaming but they’re definitely the other elite team in the East. Still think we’re a better team but agree they’re our only real competition as things stand right now.I'm excited too. But, Middleton still isn't back and the rotations will shorten in the playoffs.

I think we can agree on that. Still early. Remember last year.For sure. I’m gamethread green teaming but they’re definitely the other elite team in the East. Still think we’re a better team but agree they’re our only real competition as things stand right now.
I didn’t claim that the 1986 top end talent wasn’t better than the 2023 team, but including Rob Williams, this team is 10 deep in good players, while 1986 was eight deep (sorry Sam Vincent and Greg Kite)Yeah 86 is probably top-3 or maybe top-5 all time.
Can Payton Pritchard play piano like Rick Carlisle?I didn’t claim that the 1986 top end talent wasn’t better than the 2023 team, but including Rob Williams, this team is 10 deep in good players, while 1986 was eight deep (sorry Sam Vincent and Greg Kite)
The 2008 team arguably had more good players than 1986 and 2023, at 11: KG, PP, Ray, Rondo, Perk, Posey, House, Powe, BBD, Cassell, PJ Brown. Hopefully, this year’s team will add a buyout big to get to 11
No but Vonleh plays a mean kazoo.Can Payton Pritchard play piano like Rick Carlisle?
2008 team was a wagon, on par with the 86 club. Back then, I often wondered how those teams would fare head-to-head. I think it'd go seven.I didn’t claim that the 1986 top end talent wasn’t better than the 2023 team, but including Rob Williams, this team is 10 deep in good players, while 1986 was eight deep (sorry Sam Vincent and Greg Kite)

I see where you're going with this. Its a nice experiment. 86 had Walton, Wedman and Sichting off the bench and little else. I dont think the first three off the bench in either 08 or now compares to those 3.I didn’t claim that the 1986 top end talent wasn’t better than the 2023 team, but including Rob Williams, this team is 10 deep in good players, while 1986 was eight deep (sorry Sam Vincent and Greg Kite)

I don't think so. Tatum got his 10th assist a couple of possessions later, on the Brown layup.They changed it. It was not knocked out.
