The Celts made it to the ECF with Daniel Theis as their starting 5 & without Hayward. Tristan is an upgrade, Tatum & Brown are a yr older. Celts should be 3rd in the East.
Tristan Thompson hasn't even attempted to play winning basketball in years... Bam and the rest of Miami's young guys get a year older too. Hayward never made a difference for Boston to begin with either.

how did the sixers and celtics get better? :patrice:
Addition by subtraction for the sixers. Al Horford didn't really fit with that team. They went and got some shooters. They are now built similar to the squad they had when they was in the Eastern conference finals and went to game 7 against the raptors.

Counting on Danny Green and Seth Curry ain't exactly changing their situation or biggest problems. The book has been out on the Sixers for years now.

Miami Beach, the 305
The hate and disrespect on here for the Heat is uncanny.
Excuses after excuses. If a Heat fan used these same excuses we’d be laughed off this board as cry babies. Whose 100% in the playoffs Miami certainly wasn’t.

guess who else didn’t have home court the fukin Miami Heat who had a top 3 home record in the league.

stfu wit y’all excuses and give the team respect. They play great team basketball and hard nose grinding defense which I’m sorry doesn’t bode well for ratings and sportscenter top 10

was that bam block on Tatum a fluke too
Shut y’all punk ass up

I just don't think Miami is a top 5 team in the league. Top 8 maybe, but Boston has Tatum & Steven's. They've been to 3 ECF, and they have a culture of winning playoff series. I like them over MIA next season, all things being equal.

Theyll come up short. Miami got the wings to defend them but Bos has no answer for Bam. This is why not trading for Turner made 0 sense

Floor spacing is better. I think that's worth a couple of games.
They've had better floor spacing in the past - and in the playoffs or close games teams are still able to blatantly cheat off of whoever is actively handling the ball because that weakness hasn't gone anywhere.
