What is Westbrook's attitude towards Steven Adams? Seems like on-court respect is going up for sure.

Why would Westbrook not respect Adams?

Kyrie is likely gone (Ainge won’t max him and he’ll sign with the Knicks). Hayward you don’t really need either (**** the connection he has with Brad. Ainge is a cut throat businessman).

What’s the best player you could get for Kyrie and Hayward? I guess the Celtics need a time machine and then they would have Kawhi now.

Yah seems like a lot of redundant players. They were basically the same team without Gordon and Kyrie. League would be infinitely more interesting had they gotten Kawhi.

I'm not sure -- just has felt that way the last couple of seasons. Maybe that's just Westbrook's attitude to everybody (except PG & pre-heel-turn Durant)

They both love each other man.

Some good ol’ male conviviality going on in OKC.

Horford made 3 3s in 41 seconds. Celtics with 36 in the quarter and 9/13 from 3. With 2 minutes left.

OKC feels like a team from 1993 (but really like 2014)

Just not enough shooting out there at all. Looks like they're playing 4 on 5 every possession.

If they put up a spread on October 15th, is there any way that Los Angeles wouldnt be favored over Denver?

Any reason I shouldn't bet it all on nuggets -1? They have someone out besides Barton?

agreed that the celtics have too much on-ball skill. kyrie, hayward, tatum, rozier and smart are all best utilized with the ball in their hands, but theres only room for two at the top of the key.

i hope brad figures out how to get some weak-side screen action going to utilize the fact that your corner-shooter can also be a ball handler in almost all lineups, but it definitely feels like its hard to maximize the team's talents.

I dont bet against (playoff) LeBron.

But it’s the regular season, so I may join you in backing the Nuggets.

Lebron will bring his A+ game tonight after losing at home twice already. I actually like the Lakers tonight.

You guys are acting like Brad Stevens isn’t going to figure this out, get the Celtics 55+ wins and at minimum get them to the Eastern conference finals.

Celtics have way too much talent.

Brad is overwhelmed with the current state of the team as he is used to turning water into wine. JUST POP THE CORK BRAD!

Noone implied he wouldn't, it's just the Celts roster isn't as optimized as it could be. He'll get them to the ECF, but with the right pieces could be a real threat to title.

The pieces are there already for them to be a threat for the title. If they play up to their talent level, I believe they will beat the raptors in 5 or 6 and give the warriors a good test in the finals.
