    The irony of a Toronto fan telling a Boston fan they’re prematurely celebrating.

    Trust me I know an 8 game winning streak doesnt mean much, but there are ppl acting like they’re an 8 seed.

    Lakers s----d yesterday, just didn't have it from the very beginning..had a great game the day before. Oh well, been playing a lot better and more consistent lately. Not having McGee didn't help, but he should be back next game and Rondo and Ingram should be back next week too.

    Lakers are really doing a lot better than I expected at this point, thought they'd still be further behind than this..They can compete with anyone when they're at their best and when Bron's rolling. Kuzma's basically a 20 point per game scorer already, been consistent the last 5-6 games or so...sometimes get 25 or 30+ too. Lonzo's an elite defender almost every game(not yesterday), gotta get Ingram going again when he returns.

    Elite defense and at least 10/7/7 from Lonzo is honestly all they need from him, and to think he’s only gonna get better is nuts. He’s starting to get that explosiveness back too. They will be a scary team in April/May.

    Thought this was interesting. James Harden’s offensive peak is better than Kobe’s. I do believe this is excluding playoffs though, where Kobe would obviously have his number.

    Hearing a ton of 'Harden>Kobe' s--- today cuz of all that lmao...

    I'm not even getting into it, but it's a total joke. Kobe's gonna be crazy underrated by this newer generation pretty soon imo...not the players in the NBA, but the fans I mean. It's a shame.

    *edit* also I appreciate Harden's game but it's also overrated and doesn't carry over into the playoffs, refs don't give him those bs calls then.

    this stat is quite interesting:

    I mean it’s Raptors fans on Realgm and it’s by a mile. May just be Toronto ppl in general, I remember when the Blue Jays were getting past the division series and y’all were literally hanging banners. Now the Jays don’t have fans again lmao.

    This is fucken rich coming from a bum Raptors fan

    Sixers finally get to play a team in the east above us at home. Still not confident against the Raps, it all depends on Embiid.

    The Blue Jays are from Toronto, im talking about the whole bandwagon city. For me regular season wins at the end of the day really don't mean s--- because I've seen the Pats win 5, Sox win 4, Celtics & Bruins win one.

    You sit here talking all this s--- about how Celtics fans are pretentious. Look at you raising a banner for being 1st quarter of the year champs. When an injured Celtics team just put together what would be the best year in Raptors history, think about that. If the Raptors just did that with injuries, your fan base would be even more insufferable then they already are. For me the Celtics last year was a nice story and they overachieved, but at the end of the day Championships are the only thing that matter to me.

    The Celtics have been frustrating because they showed last year they have the talent and should have come into this year as the deepest team in the league. I think ego's have gotten in the way with guys like Terry and Jaylen. Still I don't think anyone would be shocked to see them put it together if they all buy in, if not then maybe its time for trader Danny to work his magic again.

    I don’t pay mind to overzealous Raptors fans. This team does this seemingly every year. Great regular season. Will fizzle out come April. Not entirely convinced Kawhi can shoulder the load to a championship. This aint San Antonio.

    Celtics are fine. We’re banged up. We’re getting out rebounded and that’s pretty much the reason for this 3 game skid. Games like this happen, but the fact that there’s been so many sub .500 teams beat us, is a bit alarming. Everyone will buy into their role and this team will run through the league come January-May and into the Finals.

    And LMAOOOOOO at people being upset/making fun of the Celtics for losing to one of the 3 best teams in the league while undermanned severely. Bucks put up points and they’ve been doing it all year long. They are long, they protect the rim, and actually give a s---. They’re legit.

    Kyrie played like s---. We already have a bad problem of coming up with offense when Kyrie sits. Brown played well in that second half, but I don’t know what the f--- he’s doing flexing on the freak when you’re down 15. Sick dunk but act like you been there.

    Team meeting is huge. Could be a turning point. I expect a win Sunday, then a nice solid outing against a strong Eastern conference opponent on Christmas. Ben Simmons the easiest man to guard in the league.

    Didn't your team drop confetti in a game that eventually sent them down 3-0 to the Celtics team you're talking about? You had Philly in a sweep going into that one right?

    But overachievers who are average this year. Now that sounds like the .500 Eagles.
