Brown is on fire today. So was Kemba earlier.
Tatum just got screwed on a dunk. Ball was all the way through the rim and went back up and out. Challenge should be a slam dunk win.

Tatum’s shooting numbers don’t tell the story of his game today. Love the assist numbers and it could have been higher. Romeo was getting run at the start of the 4th when game was still a game. |

I see Toronto has gone back to it's same sad state that was there before Leonard showed up.
Star power matters in that league.

Love the way they are playing overall. What will happen when Smart comes back. Interesting team. |

Toronto was without Siakam, Gasol and Powell... that wasn’t their team but it was still a good win and a big win as the Celtics are now 2-0 vs Toronto this year and home court against them in the playoffs would be nice... |

Well, their star IS injured... Lowrie was playing last night. Siakam is their best player and he’s turned into a stud. He’d arguably be the best player on the Celtics. I really want to say Kemba is better than him but he’s but especially when you factor in defense and length. Siakam is basically Leonard just less experienced and not as strong yet. |

Siakam is a great player. I still think it's a toss up between him and Lowrie, Siakam will probably pass him soon enough. I'd pick a lot of players from other teams and put them as the Celtic's best players if the Celtics had them. Leonard. George. Giannis. Harden. LeBron. Anthony Davis. Embid. Steph Curry. Klay Thomson. This is sort of the problem here with this team. The Celtics are a equivalent of a younger Pacers team imho. Good solid team and that's really it. |

I think you are entirely too low on the Celtics but regardless of that the issue I have with your initial post was that you drew a conclusion on Toronto based off a game where they were missing a bunch of players. Also, Siakam is a lot better than Lowrie. It’s not particularly close to be honest. |

He also questioned why Butler would bother going to a team that was as bad as Miami. Have to question knowledge vs just coming on here and being negative at some point.

I mean Miami is not very good, despite their record. So there's that. Winning a championship wasn't Butler's first priority if you indeed go to Miami with that kind of a roster. |

Time will tell if Toronto ever becomes anything really good without 3rd best player in the league (Leonard). They were a sackless bunch beforehand that bent to LeBron's sheer pressence in past years. |

Not that I agree with this but. Your opinion is questionable at best as someone has them ranked #4. Many of your calls are similar, not a lot of accuracy. |

Yeah great, power rankings in December of the NBA season. First or second round exit for the Heat. Calling it now. They're the equivalent of the Minnesota Twins in 2019. |

Accuracy matters dirtywater thats all I'm saying. You haven't been very accurate in much and all you do is bellyache and complain. Just calling it the way I see it. Quite obviously Jimmy Butler knows a little bit more than you about the roster in Miami. You can call what ever you want.

I don't know about Miami, looks like they have a ton of guys shooting the three ball crazy well right now. Never heard of Duncan Robinson before but he's taking 7.1 threes a game shooting almost 45%. That's either a short term fluke or they just uncovered one of the best three point shooters in the league.
I've always loved Bam and they should be a good team, but do we really see one of the best teams in the league?

I don't think they have a above replacement level player at third base right now. Cosart wasn't one, but he was a option at third base for them." Me calling Rendon to the Angels before anyone else saw it. I've also defended the Yankees getting Cole on here. Going against the narrative on here that they're cheap. Proved to be accurate. |

That is a huge hot take no? The guys 25, he's not 21 and Leonard has been crazy strong for years now. It's been 27 games and Leonard is so great because he can carry teams to Championships. He's putting up good numbers, but let's see if he can carry a team to playoff wins before saying he's basically one of the best players in the NBA. |

This is useless. We all make thousands of predictions here and no one remembers any of the ones we got wrong. The Yankees were supposedly going to sign absolutely everyone for years now and never did. Remember, there's no chance the Yankees were getting outbid on Moncada since it was just money, not salary, and they had the most. Here's a good one. I had a dozens of posts argument with jmei that inducing weak contact is a skill for pitchers before it was accepted the way it is now. But I'm still not going to get hired in a baseball front office. |

That's why they didn't land him. They gave him like a hour to accept the non highest offer on the table. Ohh and it's not useless making good predictions. It's actually fun imo. I do remember the things I get wrong. Like the Gordon Hayward injury thing earlier. That feels rushed however. Considering he's been dinged up ever since he's been back. The Celtics knew they needed him, which is defensible. Add- I was just defending my status of not being accurate FWIW. Yeah I call big-time BS on that one. |

It's useless bragging about the predictions you get right on a message board. There's no way that any of us are being judged on every single move made or not made like a baseball or basketball GM is.

Agree to disagree it isn't fun. Moving on. Wasn't "bragging" either. More or less defending my opinion.

Was poorly worded - was more of a player Comp - should have said something like Leornard lite.... he’s a big long wing who pretty much does everything and can dominate but yes no one is Leonard other than LeBron. |
