Can the Celtics win the east? Theus likes his chances with Durant and Kyrie but isn’t ready to make them the favourite with all the question marks around them. There’s a reason why Brooklyn is in the play-in tournament. Do we keep the standard the same for every single superstar in the NBA regardless of age and narrative? We don’t want to hear no “IFS” and “ASTERISKS” for any teams that get bounced in the first round, that’s why the games are played! Ahmad still thinks Jayson Tatum belongs in the purple and gold, while Theus has no idea what he’ll do if they lose in the first round this year. Are we even sure they will make the playoffs? All we ask for is consistency when you judge and rate players. Ahmad Smith on Instagram Theus McBee on Instagram
