Agreed but what im saying is I see the Celtics as more of a 4-5 seed than 2-3 seed that I thought they were being hyped up to be. Not trying to shyt on a young squad, just my opinion

Fam, they're playing without their max-contract free agent signing (Horford), they lost their starting 3 for the game (Crowder), and Olynk is still out.

You're a fool if you're making a snap judgment based on the team as is during these first 4 or 5 games.

Not saying that the Cs will be contenders but they're not anywhere near their best as is.

I have:
1. Cleveland
2. Boston/Toronto
3. Toronto/Boston
4. Indiana

It's premature to be making these lists seeing as we're only 4 or so games in. But I think once Boston gets it together and plays at full-strength as a well-oiled machine, they'll be no less than a 3 seed.
