Are you guys retarded or something? Boston is zero games back from first place. That means they are TIED FOR FIRST.
Daniel Bennett
Cleveland is literally going to lose to San Antonio and then it will be Boston all alone at the top. What then, faggots?

I actually think cavs will have a hard time to get out the east, Celtics and wizards can push them to 6-7 games. Their defense is just so fucking horrible, it's not a matter of "flipping a switch", they just fucking suck.
LA doesn't need 2 teams. Go to seattle or something
Clippers are just associated with shittyness. They have 0 legacy, and seem to be heading towards another meltdown.

Hawks were #1 seed in 2015, big deal
Charles Johnson
Heh I remember how people still didn't give a fuck that the Hawks were on top and were still deemed the dark horse during that year.
Zachary Ortiz
Holy shit, when did Curry win the belt and against who?
Zachary King
Nah, if any team should move, it's either the Nets or Kings (but they both just built new stadiums, so it's not happening anytime soon)

He's right, though. People shitposted too hard this summer.
Levi Moore
i wouldn't know, i skipped it
Dylan Rivera
hopefully next summer will be a better one, more quality. maybe a return of b _ _ - _ _ _ _ s, although i doubt it.
shoulda skipped the regular season desu, this season was weak, literally died after the first meeting between memes and cavs and nothing after the first okc memes game.
i give this season a 6/10.
Jason Morgan
Where are the LusseLL Westboxscore cockroaches at? I can't see them

Do Bawwston fans actually think they'll go to the finals just because they might get the 1st seed? lol

Caleb Young
New to /nba/ here, why is this board so salty about the Celtics? Such a fun team to watch, legit MVP candidate doing things no one thought a manlet was capable of doing. Young team that plays for each other led by a brilliant coach. Now they're a few hours away from knocking the Cavs out of the number one seed, a position they've held for about 2 consecutive years at this point. So what's the deal? Is this butthurt fallout from the success of the Patriots? Has the general succumbed to Sup Forums's new obsession of backing front runners and "winners" i.e.Trump? Are there just a lot of people from Cleveland posting here? Lots of Lakers fans upset that their franchise is falling so far behind? Lots of Clippers fans upset that you bought into the Doc Rivers smoke and mirrors? What is it? Because the Celtics are fucking awesome but all I see is hate.
Caleb Price
...
Carter Turner
Lots of people are salty about Boston teams in general. You'll find the same hate against the Bruins in NHL threads I'm sure.
The Patriots might be the only Boston team that isn't actively shit on as much and that's because they just steamroll the competition all the time so there are lots of fans in the NFL threads as well. The Celtics haven't really been considered a contender since the KG and Pierce got traded so there aren't as many active fans posting here, but the Boston hate remains.
Parker Gray
i like the celtics but I just can't trust them as a postseason team
last year I thought they were going to go on a run but they end up being bounced by a pathetic hawks team in the first round!
Connor Lee
Last year Bradley was injured and they had to play on the road. Not even the same situation at all.
Right now they're primed to go into the playoffs possibly with homecourt advantage all the way through the ECF, if they stay healthy there's really no comparison. Plus now they have Horford, who was on the Hawks last year
Simply not the same teams at all
Jonathan Garcia
It's because NFL fans get bullied by the Patriots so they take it out on other Boston teams that aren't considered contenders. Classic loser behavior.
Christian Nelson
>t. Bostonian
Henry Rogers
Every team that is the new upstart gets hate here. For years, Bron was hated when he was with the Heat, and before he won that chip with Leaveland. Soft ass nigga, can't handle your meme team getting shat on.
Ian Gonzalez
lebron gets hated on because hes a bitch who left his hometown team to play with wade and bosh in miami the celtics are still rebuilding and they have a chance for the #1 seed in the east. I don't think they beat the cavs this year, but ECF is easily doable
James Barnes
>left his hometown team to go play for a superteam You mean like almost every other NBA star is doin? Pfft, you just can't handle the fact that Bron better than MJ and Kobe.
James Sullivan
I think they can beat the Cavs this year. You think that old-ass team is going to get BETTER as the season goes on?
Also, if anyone but Brad Stevens wins coach of the year, we riot.
Christopher Cook
>new upstart >fucking lebron on the heat Kill yourself faggot
LeBron was literally a frontrunner before he even came to the NBA.
Jordan Johnson
You aint a front runner until you win some rings dumb ass faggot. He has bad luck in the finals, should've won 4 in a row with the Heat, should've beat the 72-10 record with the Heat, but his teammates let him down.
Christian Nguyen

Charles Ortiz
YOOOOOOOOO
Logan Green
Yeah it's more an issue of the personnel than how hard they're trying. Kyrie and Love are bad defenders, Thompson is a great rebounder but hardly a decent rim protector. And then there's just too many old dudes. Korver, Frye, Jefferson, DWill, what the fuck use are these guys defensively at all? Never mind in the playoffs!

Why do people think Lonzo should go number 1? Fultz is a superstar talent. Lonzo is one too but Lonzo had more holes in his game. Did people fell for the Lonzo meme because of his dad?

Lonzo shouldn't be a lotto pick.
Brandon Parker
Who woyld win in a game of Kobe's sons vs MJ's sons?
The Clippers could seriously do better than being second fiddle. Even if they win something (big if), they have to compete against another franchise that currently has generations of people who remember them for making LA a title town at all.
