Isaiah 41:10 - Al Will Strengthen You and Help You: Official 2016-17 Boston Celtics Season Thread

[Miggs]

Very debatable. Lowry and DeRozan are each good but they aren't big-time players. And the team doesn't match up well against this Boston squad.

They are all star players and we will have a healthy DeMarre Carroll and JV...and i think the GAWD Norm is about to take a step this year.
I think we may win less games this year but still be that 2 seed...IF Lowry takes a step back this year we obv could fall back to 3rd or 4th.

We swept the Celtics last season and yall added Horford you really think Horford a guy who averaged 15 and 7 is gonna be the difference in us not matching up well against you ? I disagree but we'll see,Horford never gave us problems in Atlanta.

Horford is on a team that's a better fit for him. And vice versa. Horford fills a HUGE gap we've had in the middle. And his numbers are probably gonna go up in Boston.

My body is ready for the season

I think that Gerald Green and Jaylen Brown will have more impact this season than people are expecting.

Brown I can agree on. I think Green is trade bait that Ainge and Stevens are going to give as much run as possible to increase his trade value.

Quirky news about Jonas.

Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko buys Renegades

I think ROY will be a very tall task for Brown but I don't doubt he's gonna have a bigger impact this season than what people think. I'm high on this kid but I'm afraid he might be a casualty of trade if the right offer comes along.

Is Jaylen Brown a Rookie of the Year candidate?

Celtics all day!!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt they'll make it to the 2nd round next season

Somehow, I have a feeling Celtics are gonna make another trade

The Celtics are on the cusp of something special. With a talented young core, a treasure trove of

Fresh.

I don't think Amir starts

I think it's either ko or jj

Life long Celtics fan who grew up a stone's throw from the original Garden.

That being said, my $500 Vegas ticket at +7500 on the Pacers winning it all has me rooting for another team this season.

Is There Too Much Hype Surrounding the Celtics?
