Shot just isn't going for Kyrie tonight.

Nope... It'll be a long season but Mitchell will be exciting to watch
Should have traded for Russell.

Well those 2 early fouls on him were bullshit.
I've counted 3 times he has walked though,

I'd be very surprised if they don't finish around .500, although that probably won't be good enough in the West
Yes that's why he played 40 minutes. SVG heaped praise on SJs performance in the post game press conference.
SJ is going to be an elite defender in this league. At 21 his defense is pretty damn remarkable for his age.
He just needs to learn how to shoot or he will end up being a Andre Roberson sort of player.

Celtics pulling a Browns
Undefeated in the pre season, winless in the regular season ;p

That was actually smooth as fuck and something you'd expect from a 12 year vet. Pull the defenders jersey towards you to make it seem like he's grabbing and pressing you. Gotta give him props.
The double hop travel no call was hilarious though.
I am really worried about the Celtics shooting. Unless one of these young dynamic wings turns into a league average or better shooter, they're in trouble.

Yeah they aren't a bad team but they have an uphill battle in a stacked west as far as playoffs go.

They need to reload their save from before Hayward broke his leg, and then run a different play.

Noel is 1 reb,1 pt from a dd with two blocks in 9 minutes :/

Well he wanted his own team like Kobe so he can chuck all he wants.
So much for Kyrie will become an assist machine.

You can't get assists when people aren't making shots.

Seriously. Came in and immediately sunk a 3.
If LMA can shoot 3's like that all season, I won't be mad that we resigned him.

Manu looking good, LMA looking great, Murray showing improvement, without Kawhi. We're going to the Superbowl!

Pistons, Wizards and Bucks could take the Celtics in a 7 game series.
Celtics might finish 6-8 seed.

it'll be fun watching Slo-Mo Joe this year
It's going to drive me up a wall watching the T-Wolves if this is how they're going to play offense with this much talent.
It's to be be seen, but I'd love to see this long list of 'winners' who were leading their NBA team before they were 25. As you said though, it's been proven though, conveniently ignoring his title-winning shot.

Spurs playing at a much faster tempo vs the last 2 years.

Kyrie has had one good game and one bad game in the two games played so far despite losing the next best player on the team 6 minutes into the season. It may be a bit early to make definitive statements on him or the team.

Tough to watch the Celtics. It was one thing to have a completely new team. Another to have a completely new team without one of the corner pieces. Kyrie really hasn't blown me away. Rozier has outplayed him so far. I never liked the trade. I don't think Zizic or Crowder would help all that much right now, but Isaiah and that Brooklyn pick hurt. I don't have much faith in Kyrie replacing Isaiah.

These Minny jerseys make them look like bootleg Mavs
Can the Celtics still get a refund?

On the contrary, this might be reminiscent of the old Cavalier days without Lebron.
2013-14 NBA Cleveland Cavaliers 33- 49
2012-13 NBA Cleveland Cavaliers 24-58
2011-12 NBA Cleveland Cavaliers 21-45
You mean his first 3 years in the league on a shitty team with a shitty coach and breaking like 3 separate bones in his 2nd year? Case closed inspector, Kyrie is obviously a loser and his play in the finals obviously doesn't count.

Unfortunately the Cavs included the rarely used "No takesies-backsies" clause.
This is a well thought out point. I can't believe I didn't see it like that before.
Has it been proven?
This team is much better than those Cavs teams.
