Red Sox and Pats were/are solid bets.

The Celtics are not.

LOL @ 12:1 not being a neutral EV bet. You do realize the Celtics are probably the best team in the east (assuming Doc doesn't screw it up too badly with his coaching) and are not that much worse than the Spurs or Suns.

I've told you this before...maybe even in this thread...

You are such a better poster when you're not talking about Boston sports. Seriously. I don't mean this to be offensive, but you're just horrible when you talk about any Boston team.

I have no clue why some intelligent people can be so illogical when discussing their home teams.

This is coming from the person who claimed the Pats were only 8:1 to win the superbowl LOL enough said.

EPiPeN11,

Please stop and think for a second. I'm not bashing you here. I've seen you make good quality posts before. I know you play mid stakes NLHE, so you're obviously somewhat capable of being logical. If I just thought you were some stupid troll, I'd just ignore you and move on, but I don't.

Yes, I thoguht the Pats were 8:1 at the beginning. I also thought that the Saints were about 15:1....obviously those didn't turn out like they seemed, but that mean that the odds were wrong to begin the season. Regardless.....

With everyone in here telling you how wrong you are, and realizing that you're arguing for your favorite teams, do you not think that its possible that you're being a homer? I'm telling you this as a courtesy, not to try to bash you: You are probably the biggest homer on this board, and your normally logical posts turn into complete crap when you discuss Boston.

No I think everyone else is being a hater which doesn't shock me cause everyone for the most part hates Boston teams.

I have had NBA league pass for the last 2 years (this will be the 3rd) and watch evey team in the NBA play multiple times throughout the year.

The people who are spewing out crap have probably not seen the Celtics play one game this year (preseason I know but still when you put 3 top 25 players in the NBA on the same team, you are going to have a sick team).

These people are spewing out comments like they have no bench when they do have a bench, it is just clear to me they have no clue what they are talking about. They are the same people who probably have never heard of Kendrick Perkins before.

And if I was a complete homer, I would be overrating Rondo like the rest of the Celtic fans out there.

WTF would we all hate Boston?

I've lived in NY for 7 years and I hate NY. I'm completely unbiased when it comes to Boston(if anything, people on here think I'm a Brady fan).

I know the NBA quite well and know nearly all of Boston's roster...depth is indeed an issue for them this year.



You keep making silly defenses of yourself...like simply because you don't overrate Rondo, you're not a homer. Dude, I have no reason to hate Boston and I don't dislike you at all...but if someone asked me to HONESTLY say who the biggest homer was in this entire forum, I'd pick you and it wouldn't even be close. Does that not tell you something? Why do you think I'd say that if you aren't a homer?

You just live in a dream world when it comes to Boston man. And seriously LOL at "everyone else just hates Boston." There are a ton of rational people in this forum telling you that you're a homer, and I don't think any of them are Boston haters. Boston may just go on to win all 3 titles...your odds were still absolutely ridiculous.

You do realize most teams in the playoffs use 8 man rotations right?

Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, KG, Perk, House, Posey that's 7 right there. If Pollard/Big Baby surprise that's 8. If Tony Allen comes back healthy he could be decent (although I feel hes a bad fit for this team and is much more effective with the ball in his hands).

Depth is not that big of an issue for this team aside from the back up center spot. Also KG will probably play some center anyway so a KG/Perk Center platoon is fine vs any center not 300+ pounds who are named Shaq or Eddie Curry. Big Baby could fill in at backup PF and do a decent job.

Maybe you don't hate Boston, but most of the other people in this thread do.
