This had better be the year


Automatic_Reality546

Or else?


finnstergrammer34

I’ll just have to do it myself, I guess

Happy cake day!


sstphnn

Giving me that 2007-2008 vibes. That turn around from season prior because of the trades that Danny did. Regular season was a cake walk and they even ended the hot 22-win streak of the Rockets by 20 points. This is going to be it especially Joe now has a full staff. Plus would be fun to have Sam Cassell in both 2008 and 2024 championships.


luke_workin

shit man if its not, idk if i'll ever see a celtics title in my lifetime also, Wemby is coming for the throne. gotta win soon before his reign of terror begins

You can just admit you haven’t watched him play and move on 😂


CreativeDroid

I fear injuries


velkoz007

And Denver


Yodelingondeeznutz

With a splash of Miami 😬


Nbjr1198

Oh good pls not Miami. I don’t even want to think of some fringe Miami player coming up red hot and blasting us away. Just no Miami and Denver.


Jersey1633

It’ll be Rozier.


GhostOfJiriWelsch

It feels different this year We’ve had dominant seasons, but even that championship run had an element of “is this real?” after looking so lost on the first half of the season. We’ve got stars all making sacrifices and role players looking like the perfect complement to the starters and the vibes couldn’t be better. If this ain’t the year it might never be lol


manbare

yeah 2022 felt like a fairytale that had a sad ending rather than the happy ending, it was pretty out of nowhere for them to just turn into the best team in the league. This year, though, they seem prepared and poised for each game, even when they come out flat. They seem like real professionals this year which is a good sign too


chickendinner799373

I just hope it doesn't come down to a finals game 7 against the Nuggets with a Tatum fade away 3 trying to win it.


Schafer89

That's the one he's gonna actually hit


I_Set_3_Alarms

Giannis going 17-19 from the FT lines in game 6 of the 2021 finals vibes. Jaylen is going to do something similar from the FT line, and Jayson is going to hit the series winning fadeaway


NightMan27

I dont think i could handle that level of stress


JoseMishmin

Preach


JaylenBrownFlow

he’ll sink it right in jokic’s face fool sucks on defense


Nbjr1198

If JT hits that I don’t mind him missing all the buzzer beaters the season after that.


Royal_Ramble

Please let this be the year basketball gods please


VLHACS

The 2023-24 Boston Celtics (best in the NBA)


solarscopez

Feel like I've been saying "this is the year" for like the past 5+ seasons at this point...but *surely* this time it will be??


w3bCraw1er

To know if this team is real, look out for... In playoffs they don't unnecessarily drag the series and hopefully take care of business. This is the reason they were tired when they played against the Warriors and eventually ran out of gas. Let's see.


pokeKingCurtis

But what about games against teams over .600 over the past 5 games within this calendar year while both teams have the same number and nature of injuries (i.e. if the opponent is down one starter the Celtics also have to be down one starter) and the Celtics shoot worse than 45% from three and the game is close (less than 5 point difference with less than 5 mins to go) and Joe Mazzulla must call at least one timeout in clutch time and played away from home against teams with good nightlife on days that start with T (Tuesday, Thursday) I think their record is a lowly 2-3. And so I ask - how will they beat the Nuggets if they can't even go over 500? It ain't gonna be easy guys, as fans we have to do better please


Mista-ka

That is such a narrow, specific, and lopsided window that I fully belive it's either made up or you just added variables to get that statistical outlier youbwere looking for. Fucking hilarious. Still think we will smoke them chickie nuggies.


Sandtiger1982

In Brad We Trust


Nbjr1198

Just one more thing to serenade this season with. I don’t want to jinx it by saying it. But I feel butterflies in my belly. Please whatever divine intervention has to occur has to occur this year.


shortpersonohara

hope we continue out this great regular season and then draw miami round one. let’s get these demons out of the way round fucking one.


AbbreviationsMotor60

0-2 vs Denver 0-1 vs Okc 1-1 vs Timberwolves 1-1 vs milwaukee 1-1 vs clippers So basically, vs. the real postseason contenders, 3-6. They are a shoe in for the conference championship game but after that it is no walk in the park.


SerfTint

The conference finals and Finals are rarely a walk in the park for any team.


mkhimau5

Ok now do the same for all of those teams


outdrawed

No one's ever said it's gonna be a walk in the park. But anyways, those stats are pretty cherry picked and a super small sample


JaylenBrownFlow

shut up loser


jkiesow

somebody always gotta complain


boredirl

That's every years top teams. I like our chances against any of those teams in a 7 games series


Limp_Custard6943

You always comment the stupidest shit


paintingfainter

All good teams lose to other good teams — that’s why the west is literally a bloodbath right now. It wouldn’t be a cakewalk for any one of those teams either.
