Talking about injury problems about other East teams but the Celtics are actually winning games with significant help from Hauser, Kornet and Pritchard.
I think that there is no possible way unless Westbrook is back, that the Clippers stand a chance to make it out of the Western Conference.
They just have too much of a history of epic collapses. I can't buy in to what they are doing until they prove they can at least make it to the Western Conference Finals.
For me, this means Russell Westbrook has to be healthy and playing. If he isn't, that bench just doesn't have the same energy and ability to step up big when the starters are having an off night.
As talented as George, Leonard and Harden are, only Leonard has produced in the playoffs on a consistent basis.
Westbrook seems make up for the deficiency. If Harden disappears, he is there to step up. He doesn't have to deliver 35 points, but just giving 15-18 points and 4 or 5 assists and a couple of rebounds makes up for when Harden goes on a drought and has 6 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound.
Without Russ, I don't see them being a match for Denver, Minnesota or OKC. I would buy in on Dallas or Sacramento right now more than the Clippers and I don't buy in on the Kings or Mavs. (Kings have been inconsistent all year and the Mavs I just don't see the secondary guys and think…yeah. they can do it in the playoffs.
Joel Embiid being back and hopefully healthy…I do feel for the guy, injuries suck, it means Philadelphia might be back to contender status. They are the only team I feel can legitimately challenge the Celtics.
Yeah, I know Jimmy Butler has a playoff mode and you can't count the Heat out. I know Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York have really good teams and they shouldn't be slept on. Indiana is better than their overall record because of Pascal Siakam.
The Celtics though just seem like one of those teams like the 1986 Celtics, where it is a Finals or bust year. Where they are on another level and just feel like that team that is going all of the way.
Denver I feel like is the biggest threat to them because they are the defending Champs.
But I can't ignore Minnesota or OKC. They are just too good to no realize they are real threats to upend the Western Conference and make some noise all the way to the Finals themselves.
I just can't buy into the Clippers right now. If they make it to the Western Conference Finals, I can buy into them as legit. Until then, just pretenders.
I feel like the east is a bit deeper then it was last year but celtics probably have at the very least a conference finals and most likely a finals appearance but who knows we could have a repeat of last year with the heat but everything is a mystery until the playoffs
Your celtics just lost to Bucks again. STFU, what's excuse? "We already have first seed so not trying to win" In 7 game series Celtics can never win again major teams. It's playoffs, we have seen what celtics do.

I think Boston really is the only matchup for Denver at this point, but weβll see how things go in the playoffs.
On a random sidenote, I kind of wish Dame ended up on the Miami Heat, they wouldβve done a better job of covering his weaknesses on defense while also highlighting his strengths.
Iβm surprised that the Dame with the bucks thing hasnβt really worked out
I still dont believe in them. They've improved their positive elements again this season, but they still have the same flaws that will cause them to lose a few games against well-prepared opponents, and a few games lost at the wrong time can cost an entire playoff run.
I like Boston – particularly b/c they have my boy D. White over there – I wouldn't mind them winning a chip at all… but with that said, I am also totallyready to slander them if they don't get to at least a conference finals; that 2016 Hawks comp going to go HAAM if they get caught lacking.
6ers would have had like 55 wins if embiid didn't get hurt. But Boston is definitely the team to beat. I knew once they got Holiday, they were gonna take it to a new level.
The Celtics are really good, but some of the losses were a bit of a head-scratchers, like some the losses against Atlanta, when they had huge leads and just gave it away, you know? Maybe this year, when it matters, is differentβ¦

Celtics will beat Miami rd 1 and coast to the finals
Celtics are looking good.
Heat enters the channel.
Talking about injury problems about other East teams but the Celtics are actually winning games with significant help from Hauser, Kornet and Pritchard.
Magic easily claps celtics in 4
Let's just hope the heat don't get 8th place…
Well yeah⦠the west has almost ALWAYS been the far better conference.
They're like the 2022 Suns, frauds
As a Celts fan Iβm incredibly excited for the playoffs. No matter what Iβm so proud of our team.

The heat?
I still can't get over Skap Attack calling Joe Mazula "village idiot "π
Being 15 games ahead of the 2nd seed is ridiculous π
2022 Suns Vibes, coming from a suns fan
had to post this as they are getting blown out by Milwaukee huh?
Tucker stays schleeping on the Miami Heat as most mixtape menaces do
Bucks looked pretty good tonight πππ
Still will be eliminated by the Heat lol
I feel like the east is a bit deeper then it was last year but celtics probably have at the very least a conference finals and most likely a finals appearance but who knows we could have a repeat of last year with the heat but everything is a mystery until the playoffs

Bro be trying hard to get to that 8 minutes π€£
Lol the day the bucks beat celtics….again
Had to come back after the game tonight. If Giannis is out for an extended time the conference gets a little bit easier for the Finals

If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner πͺπͺπͺ
the Celtics are defo going to fail to reach the Finals now
the higher u are, the harder u fall π

I was just checking how far ahead the warriors went in their 73-9 series in 2016.
The Spurs just got 2nd seed with 67-15. wowπ
… it's Philadelphia 76ers!
Not too many feelings much better than seeing the fear wash over Boston fans faces as they see that they have to play Miami in the playoffs.
Knicks in seven
I still dont believe in them. They've improved their positive elements again this season, but they still have the same flaws that will cause them to lose a few games against well-prepared opponents, and a few games lost at the wrong time can cost an entire playoff run.
Bro you sound a little like joe rogan lmao
The problem with Tatum and the celtics is that they are not clutch. They keep losing on close games.
Nuggets in 4. π
I like Boston – particularly b/c they have my boy D. White over there – I wouldn't mind them winning a chip at all… but with that said, I am also totally ready to slander them if they don't get to at least a conference finals; that 2016 Hawks comp going to go HAAM if they get caught lacking.
Put Celtics in the West, i do not think they would make it to the top 3?
6ers would have had like 55 wins if embiid didn't get hurt. But Boston is definitely the team to beat. I knew once they got Holiday, they were gonna take it to a new level.
I wait for the Cβs upcoming failure
An upset loss to the Miami is what you don't what to witness.Let's win this banner 18 all the way!!!
Booohoo wheres the apolgy video
The Celtics are really good, but some of the losses were a bit of a head-scratchers, like some the losses against Atlanta, when they had huge leads and just gave it away, you know?

Derrick White looks like a cartoon character with the bald head top
