I think the Celtics are one of the few teams in history that can put out a starting lineup of guys who are all All-Star worthy

The only weaknesses the Celtics have is the injury concerns with KP, Horford maybe running out of gas, and then being forced to play Hauser or Kornet more minutes

They don’t have a true MVP level player but they’re so talented overall that it doesn’t really matter if healthy

I think the only two teams that have a real shot of beating them at full force is New York or Milwaukee (on the way to the Finals) the West has some stronger competition to offer in the Finals

I'd toss the pacers into the group with nyk and bucks. Other than that no, if they don't get injured I'm sure they make it to the finals / repeat

Lol at full force and 100% healthy? It's probably the team with 3x All-Stars, all top 20 players, in their lineup in Philadephia. Is this even a question?

Tyrese Maxey
Kelly Oubre
Paul George
Caleb Martin
Joel Embiid

Ez.

But health is, and will be, the only thing that ultimately stops them. Unlike the Celtics, who managed to stay relatively healthy last season.

Season hasn't even started yet and the asterisks are in full force

Thoughts?

Embiid already load managing and the season hasn’t even started. Stop the cap he can’t get through a grueling season + multiple competitive series

PG13 already hyperextended his knee

The 76ers better wrote the skate clean

I mean you said at full force.

At full force, the Sixers can beat anyone.

Not as it presently sits. Boston is ready to rock. If they dont end up with the number 1 seed, they will have under achieved.

I would like to see more of Luke Cornet, his 3 ball defense is hilariously effective. Getting him on the floor more would help preserve KP too.

Embiid is never healthy in postseason

The Celtics just had a healthy run, except for some meaningless games KP was out
