What a clown. Anything for attention.
mannix is good for a laugh with his knowledge of basketball
Bunch of 🤡 🤡 🤡. Still, doubting the celtics. 🤦♂️ i like their 2023 bench players compared to previous seasons. Can’t you see, they’re all hungry, aggressively attacking the paint, MOST IMPORTANTLY they rebound and defend properly.
Mannix should move to Milwaukee. The C’s backups could beat the overrated Bucks. 140-99 😂😂😂
There's one thing that Boston has that Milwaukee doesn't, a large chest of tradable draft picks that could be used to improve their roster if needed.
The Bucks can't trade a single 1st round pick, and have just two 2nds that could be used in a deal.
The Celtics on the other hand,have 2 1sts & 9 2nd round picks that could be used in deals as well as a 6.2M trade exception from the Grant Williams trade.
Both teams got significantly better this offseason but Boston is built to withstand an injury to one of their main guys, Milwaukee isn't.
Bucks has shooters but where is they defense who on that team thats known for they fdefense beside the center
Mannix needs lower his adderral prescription. He sounds nuts.
Mannix is a clown at times hahaha
An embarrassing take for anyone who’s watched these two teams play.
The bucks do not match up with the Celtics. 1. Bucks have zero wing defense. 2. Lopez can’t play in the series. 3. Splitting possessions with dame is a win for us. You’re taking away Giannis dominance to force a smaller dame to score again last the best backcourt defense in the league.
Depth wise is just nonsense. The warriors won with absolutely no center of note. But you can always add. But I don’t know who they think rest of league has off the bench. We don’t need offense. We need hustle, defense first guys with size. Every single guy we have is exactly that. Perfect for what we are trying to build.
The Celtics were better than the Bucks last year. The Bucks upgraded from Holiday to Lillard, which isn't a huge upgrade. And added nothing else. The Celtics added Porzingis and Holiday. It's a fact that the Celtics are better.
Milwaukee has ZERO depth. Brad WINS because he upgraded the roster from top to bottom while maintaining a solid core.
Trading for Jrue and losing 2 integral players in Brogdon and Rob definitely hurts. But from a management perspective, these two players are hardly on the floor so it's basically trading them for a more playable player health wise. As for trading Smart, C's were confident that D White could do the job as well as Smart did so they got an inside presence that the Cs has been lacking for years. You got to give some to get some.
Manix doesn’t have a clue lol
Mannix stressing that Cs didn't add Holiday (and Porzingis) for zero but then acting as if Bucks got Lillard for nothing is laughable, this guy has been on the Bucks crotch for a team thar got slapped by the Cs the last time they matched up (including the regular season last year) and who got bounced by the Knicks in quick fashion. And if Lillard is such that everyone makes him out to be I wonder why hes had such little playoff success over his long career as a 33 yr old.
i do agree with chris in saying kornet bc im sorry he sucks. brad needs to grow balls and get someone better. pp is great but too inconsistent in games a lot hence why he dont play so i agree with that. however chris please dont say milwaukee is better than us we literally have their number. im a little concerned with beasley and payne but celtics are better
Chris Mannix is baiting us. There is no way that he doesn't think that the Celtics and the Bucks aren't going to be neck to neck all season.
