I was thinking after watching 30 for 30 rivalry other day, even if we regroup with or without Russ if we were to meet the Celtics in Finals next year I wouldn’t have much confidence in beating them for the 18th ring!

Reason being, gotta admit Celts Tatum, Brown & Smart got that taste & experience. We’d have to be %100 healthy to even compete with young legs & stay healthy for a 7 game series. The chances of us (older players) staying healthy is very slim!

We only have a chance next year if LBJ plays 30 minutes a game & AD’s legs with stand another season & he is motivated. In other words we’d need an awesome bench so our legs are fresh for a far more younger, motivated & talented team.

Yeah, it probably won’t happen one way or the other but just saying I believe the Celtics are in a better position than us to win a Chip if it came down to us meeting if remarkably the front office & players fall into place.

BTW, these hyped up opinions from so called experts having Kyrie joining Lakers is not to my liking & commitment to him when he has done everything to avoid playing games & being a TEAM player.

If you can trade Russ get 2-3 more fits than the crap that is being talked about. I’d take Brogdon/Hield combo or Dame in a heart beat. I don’t see the Wall thing happening either.

Hope we get a solid bench & stick to resting LBJ, cause he can’t play heavy minutes anymore or he’ll get hurt like any other old player.

They are a play-in team at best.

This would mean that the Lakers somehow got past the Warriors and if they did that, I would be pretty scared of LA as a Celtics fan.
