Banner Dreams & 2nd Apron Nightmares - Official 18x NBA Champion Boston Celtics 2025-26 thread

[number21]

Miami Heat haven’t won a ring since Obama was president, lost their last 3 Finals appearances, have a senile old man running the team and are a treadmill team stuck in the play in

fukk out our thread

And you're 4-3 against that senile old man. Enjoy your incoming rotting. I know i will.

Cute injury gifted run is now done. Hopefully the nba doesn't hook you bums up for a bit. Let them rot like they did for most of the 90s.

Oh look a Miami Heat fan, ya nikkaz got disqualified so long ago that vacation time ran out… still salty about the Celtics dragging their nuts and parading the Championship trophy in YOUR backyard

Larry O’Brien trophies Held In Miami:
Jayson Tatum - 1
Current Miami Heat Roster - 0

LeBron & D Wade ain’t walking through that door and neither is Jimmy Butler

Enjoy the 1st round sweeps

Don't worry... I'm sure the Heat have something planned. Like retiring Gary Sheffield's jersey or having a Jeff Conine bobblehead night

Jealously of our success

We are the most hated franchise because we are the GOAT franchise.

I never said Jrue has no trade value, Bradley Beal has no trade value

But I don’t think there’s going to be a huge market for him bc of his contract

Jrue for DeRozan wouldn't be bad. Cheaper contract shorter term and he's a scorer

While kings get a pg they sorely need

I don’t envision DeRozan’s pound the rock for a mid range fadeaway and Mazzulla’s vision being compatible

Knew it was more than just a bruise…

Knew it was more than just a bruise…

I don’t know whose call it was but he shouldn’t have been playing the last month of the season. That’s my 2 cents.

Knicks beat the Hospital Celtics

JB partial meniscus tear
Porzingis Respiratory Illness
Hauser Missed 3 games
Tatum missed 2 games with a torn Achilles.

I mentioned it in the random thoughts thread, but the Celtics have a problem on their hands.

Next years first round pick just got more valuable with JB/Tatum both looking at major injuries and with what we just saw with the Mavericks, a team can easily move up to #1 if the chips fall in their favor.

Unfortunately for them, teams are going to ask for that pick in exchange of moving of salary for someone like Jrue.

Can always put a protection on it, or trade another pick

Stevens has yet to make a bad trade so I have faith he’ll do good by us

The problem is your coach. A better coach wins this series

From my view. Keep Jayson, Jaylen, White... trade everyone else

This 3 man core when healthy is still a championship contender. They were obviously the 3 main reasons we had this contender run from 2022 - Present

- Can replace Horford with a younger big who can defend on the perimeter
- Can replace Jrue with Ayo Dosunmu or a player similar to that
- Don't even need to "replace" Porzingis, because he barely was a factor for the 2024 championship
- Hauser is useless, so who cares
- Give the kids more playing time now, Baylor, Queta, Walsh, JD Davidson
- With the salaries going out, I actually wouldn't mind keeping Luke Kornet, and I want to keep Pritchard

This would be intriguing….
