Taking a snapshot of the talent on the Celtics roster right now, I agree with both of his statements.

Last year, we had IT + Crowder as our best 2 players. This year, so much of the burden is on Kyrie and the team has much less depth overall. But it's early. It's quite possible that many of the players who we don't expect much from will end up having a good season and that would change our perception of how much depth this team has.


I guess it depends what your definition of front runner is, I hate all this fucking MVP talk this early... it's fucking November lmao. And I disagree, I think this years team is at the very least as good as last years' team if not better. We literally couldn't rebound last year... and this year, we're actually decent in that area SO FAR, it's still early. Kyrie appears to be as good of a FT shooter as IT, and he can actually play defense or at least make it look like he's trying. Crowder is a fucking bum never liked him, Bradley was the only real loss cuz he could actually shoot unlike Smart along with the great d, just my take...

Jae Crowder? Bruh you fucking trolling?
One of those people who believed our defense was going to get worse because we lost AB and Jae?

When I kept hearing "team lost Jae Crowder" "going to regress"
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Saying Jae Crowder is a difference maker on a team that isn't TRASH....RIP

Difference between this team and last year?
This team can actually rebound while last years team was 27th in both dboard/2nd chance points
Good luck winning giving up oboards to TT so his shitty ass can drop 15/15 with 0 skill

Oh + the fact that teams can't put in their 11th, 12th and 13th player and just post up IT -- regardless of name

Hey there Celts fans, have you guys heard any early MVP talk for Kyrie outside of Celtics media? What he did to GSW was unbelievable.

As a Raptors fan I have to hope we beat you guys but if we can't do it, I'll be cheering for you guys to teach the Cavs a lesson in ECF (if the Cavs get there).

Heard it and I believe it a complete joke
Totally understand how people like to say "if they didn't have him they'd be nowhere, etc"

I'm not saying Kyrie isn't the most important piece on this team. He is indeed without a doubt, but this has been a complete TEAM effort. We need every man, every night to do exactly what their role is for a chance to win
We don't blow teams out. We have a team that can stay in games or claw back and then hope to win by putting the ball in Kyries hand
The man is getting double/triple on every drive lol. Still making plays

In the clutch, under 5 min within 6

At least he's getting it done when it matters, but not MVP

Terrible 1st half
Start the game going down 16..

Silly offensive fouls by Jaylen and Baynes
Jump shots are all front rimming...attack the basket!
Defense + ball movement have been great

Best stat is Marcus Smart shooting 2-4 :drool:

Takes them a quarter + to warm-up and amp up the defense to the necessary level it seems.

Can't happen every night is all i'm saying
I love how Brad handles Kyrie though
Every game around 3:30 in the 3rd he is subbed out. Gets to rest 2-3 timeouts + the stoppage between quarters until around 7:30-8:00
No wonder he's been so good late in the game
