At least we didn't drop.

Who are we taking?

Is there any chance of trading up? Trading down?

I kinda want the kid from Providence.

Trade it

Trade it as well imo

What are you realistically expecting to get in return for the #3 pick?

Have you seen the "highlights" of Dragan Bender? He looks like he should be in the WNBA. Please god no.

You're not getting much for #3, but if you package our roster with it you might get something. Personally I'd like them to get a legit center. A real NBA center, someone who can block shots and has a post game. F this steph curry style jack fest. Move the 3pt line back to the original spot and play basketball again. I watched the '81 and '84 championship highlights on youtube the other day. OMFG the whole game played INSIDE the 3pt line. It was glorious. /rant

This has never been an active thread. How come?

Anyway, the Celtics are making a real run at the #1 seed in the East. A Cavaliers loss on Monday night in San Antonio would put the Celtics half a game up.

Cleveland Cavaliers: 47-25 .653
Boston Celtics: 48-26 .649

NBA single-team threads have never been active because the main NBA thread in SE is so active.

I am scared to death of losing this 1v8 matchup, though. Celtics have not been that impressive down the stretch.

kc,

chicago sucks. hope this alleviates your concern.

Oops.

lol

Good comeback. Though, if the Bulls had Rondo for games 3-6, I'm very skeptical it would have happened.

We get Washington next. What's the o/u for the number of technical fouls?

That was a great series win.

The Celtics will obviously be underdogs going forward. But, this season has been a big step forward for the franchise.


Now we just need a little luck in Tuesday's draft lottery.

Playing with house money now as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they can make it a decent series

we also need Curry or Durant to tear an ACL during the playoffs one of these years

I mean it's cool we're in the final four and will have a great pick, it's just not as great it would be in most years. the Warriors have just about killed that for the next couple seasons. We have a punchers chance against Cleveland. I think against GSW getting swept would be the most likely outcome.

Ship

Wowwwww Boston wim

BOOM

celts and nba wizards, help?

Celtics bench wants to become more physical.

They've added Baynes.

Zizic and Yabusele are going to get long looks in training camp.

Gone are the finesse bigs Olynyk and Zeller. Mickey is also out.

Looking at stats and limited eye-testing, Baynes strikes me as a possible short-minutes rotation worthy big.

Very limited one game eye test caused me to question Zizic's quickness.

Yabusele remains somewhat unknown to me other than he has some nickname that escapes me right now and it appears that Ainge likes his game.

I'm curious to see what happens with Crowder. Will he be a problem child? Will he get dealt? It should be interesting
