Huge Celtics fan!! Grew up in Haverhill

Also a long time lurker of celticsblog.com

I love watching the team we have now, I don't think we are a championship caliber team. But we do have a star and his name is Brad Stevens the way he got these guys to play last year was amazing. Honestly this team is built with a bunch of 6th men but their team work is what makes them dangerous

Haha, I've lived in Revere my whole life. I've been following Celticsblog for what seems like 10+ years at this point. Stevens is definitely the star of the franchise and he's a great asset to have. A lot of casual fans won't want to watch the Celtics since they don't have a star player but it makes it very enjoyable to watch them actually run plays and sets and get everyone involved. On any given night, anyone can have a big game for them.

I personally never understood why Marcus Smart was being shopped around according to reports, everytime I watch the guy it seems like he is a hard-nosed drive you to death PG with no fear. Happy to hear the Celtics seemingly are keeping him around for the forseeable future, I see him and Sullinger having a big season.

*Clippers will be Champions!
*Anthony Bennett will have a good year!
*Timberwolves will be fighting for the 8th spot with Sacramento, Pelicans, Suns, Jazz!
*Lakers will be a bottom team in the west (15th). But will get the 4th pick by lottery, what means the 76ers will get the Lakers pick
*So 76ers will have 2 picks in the top 5 in next years draft!!!
*Karl-Anthony Towns will be ROY!

Man I hope you're right about the Sixers, for all the tanking they've been doing, they haven't had that much luck in the lottery...

But hey, #TrustTheProcess.

The reason is because as much as Celtic fans love the players on this team, they don't hold much value across the league. Smart is about the only true trade chip we have outside of draft picks.

That's a good point, when the value is low, the most valued will automatically be involved by shit-tier reporters like me in the Rumor Mill. Lol
