Celtics are the clear cut favorites in the East right now. They’ve owned the Sixers in this era, and have beaten a Bucks team that was much better defensively than this one when it mattered. Tatum has also gotten a ton of unearned skepticism for a guy that’s had some amazing games facing elimination. The only question in the East for Boston is if they’ll have to face Miami, because that’s the one matchup that always gives them problems.

Wade (winning a championship in his 3rd season) was supposed to be face of the League from 2006 - 2010 (his peak prime). But the injuries in between those years have held him down and we didn't see that peak for a long stretch. And specially, he's squeezed in a decade where Kobe & LeBron got all the media attention. That made it a lot harder to break.

Fired up JJ is fun to watch

I've said from the beginning that KP is the X Factor. The guy is an amazing shooter inside (highest percentage in the paint) and out, defends, distributes, and does all the intangibles. He's the complete player. Throw him into the JJ, Jrue, D White mix and you've got another title.

He has a great point. They're beating teams with ease.

It’s pretty obvious …KP hasn’t lost a step from playing with the wizards

It’s the Truth JJ

For anyone who thought they were a championship calabur teams before this year... that is sad because they weren't, and if they did win, it wouldn't be praise to the Celtics but a knock on the rest of the league. I'm not saying they aren't a championship team now without (porzingis) because their firepower is crazy, but if they lose a championship without Porzingis I wouldn't be surprised, but with Porzingis, (on paper) playing correctly they are the favorite in most eyes. I only say on paper because there is only 1 ball and there are a handful of teams that are top heavy enough to win it all.... (clippers - healthy 76er's)

I still wonder about Boston though. They have two major weaknesses, possibly 3. The first is interior defense against bigger teams, the other is late game shot selection-decision making, and finally mental toughness. The third one is major, something I believe they can overcome, but haven’t yet. March will reveal a lot, on the schedule, Dallas, Golden St., Denver, Phoenix x2, Bucks, and New Orleans.

See this is what happens when you have an intelligent analyst, who is a former basketball player and knows the players worth you won’t ever hear anyone on that panel except for JJ mention KP

Jrue holiday is the main reason why I think the Celtics will win this year. He's a great player but also a lucky player. Last time he won an NBA title Giannis was 26, Miami heat were runners up in the NBA finals the year before and an Olympics were around the corner. Tatum is 26 in March.

FInally people are putting respect on Magic & Bird!

The Bucks are a first round exit. Can’t wait to see it again 😂

JJ really a better analyst compared to others. Basing on stats, it looks like he watches games (watch his podcast, he states personal stats, he remembers plays etc), and he critiques on valid points with basis. Compared that to Perkins calling someone a bird brain when he does not personally know Mazulla. And no, he does not owe Rivers his career. Place him on another team at that time, he'd be a starter. He'd still be playing if not for the injuries.

Denver is a bad matchup for KP. He’s too skinny for Jokic. But offensively he’ll give them problems.

I’m a kings fan, but this season feels more like Clippers vs Celtics in the finals. If not the bucks in there somewhere and Minnesota
