I don't think they could beat the Thunder.

But, not enough to use my house as collateral in a wager..lol

The only sure fire 1st round knockout is the Dubs.

I think they'd get swept.

But, most games would be close, competitive.

Agreed, they won't beat OKC in a series. Now, if they get lucky & Portland moves up to the top 3 & they get that match up they might escape that 1st round...but I've already said this before.

They are not beating the Dubs, OKC or Hou in that 1st round.

Same as when he left the game.

Sprained knee.



Irving came up hobbling after stepping awkwardly trying to fight through a screen in the first half of Boston's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Irving underwent an MRI Sunday which revealed no structural damage and he's been deemed day-to-day by the team.

"Kyrie's not going [to Philadelphia]," said coach Brad Stevens. "I have no idea what that means for Wednesday. Not playing [Tuesday]."

Kyrie Irving (knee) not playing Tuesday vs Sixers

quote from a The Athletic article on the Sixers--- the always eloquent Jimmy Butler:

Butler forced his way out of Minnesota, fully expecting that he would have to adjust to different schemes and personalities without the benefit of a training camp.

“I didn’t have a camp nowhere. Fuck training camp,” Butler said, before acknowledging the importance of coming in with a prepared system, rather than developing one on the go. “It definitely makes it easier, for sure, when you have a training camp. You get used to all of the offensive play calls, the lingo. You get familiar with everybody.

“Training camp is huge, but whenever you’ve got good players, I’m telling you, that shit finds a way to work itself out.”



lol....from "fuck training camp" to "training camp is huge".

i loathe Jimmy Butler.

Dame will be the next guy to request a trade.

No, this is a right knee injury.

I believe he missed last Season because of his left knee.

@Gman

Concerned?

Jackie MacMullan on the Celtics: "There is something wrong with this team. It's too late in the season to keep saying they're going to figure it out. The chemistry is bad. The vibe is bad. And it's not getting better."

Yes very concerned. Even the Pacers without Oladipo look more like a team than the C's.

He is not a good #1 - especially considering he plays PG a ton. He needs to go to a team that already has a reliable #1 because I think he'd do well as the #2.

So TWO gimpy knees now...great for Boston I'm sure lol

Yes, I'm concerned.

There's still time to pull it together... but the C's are definitely at a low point after 2 bad losses at home, and need to get the ship righted soon.

Shutting the F up and just playing basketball would be a great start.

Not enough Buck's talk here!

Maybe they will win a playoff series this year!
