Love the post and I agree completely. I cant remember who said they bet money with a friend on the raptors making it further than Boston but I'm gonna see if I can sucker someone into making that deal as well.

I based my vote on this community. There is just no way that people here in these forums OVERRATE the Boston Celtics. If anything the Celtics are heavily underrated here.
Everyone here doubts the Celtics, and right behind everyone doubts the Cavs. The most overrated team in these forums, and frankly rightfully so since this is a Raptors fan board, are the Toronto Raptors.your pal,

The Cavs might no be unbeatable given how the players mesh, as they also have had a lot of turn-over. And well, Lebron can only do so much.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

ebrian wrote: View PostOkay I stand corrected, but that still doesn't make them overrated. They really are unbeatable by anyone in the East, correct?
Boston, however, is dramatically overrated. Heck, many here think they are better than the Raps. Here, on this Raps' board.

BOS (Irving, Hayward and Horford)
TOR (Lowry, DeRozan and Ibaka)
MIL (Brogdan, Antetokounmpo and Parker)
WAS (Wall, Beal and Porter)
I honestly don't see any huge advantages that one team have over another from the above group. A lot of board members like Toronto, and I don't blame them -- we are after all, a Raptors forum. That was the only reason I chose them in the poll. My way of saying "Guys, temper your expectations." 2 out of the 3 from Milwaukee nearly took us down last year. Porter is only getting better for Washington since the defensive focus will *never* be on him. The Boston trio is an unknown to me. We have to see them play together before we can really judge it.your pal,

ebrian wrote: View PostI wouldn't say dramatically, but yes I think there are a few who believe what the sports sites are saying and putting Boston out in front, especially since IT is out unti January. They did it last year so why not? Except that last year's team isn't here anymore. It's really hard to say at this point. With all the changes in the NBA this offseason, to me it really comes down to team chemistry and good coaching. We have an advantage in the former, but not sure about the latter and things move quickly in the NBA. We'll see what happens. I feel there's a glut of teams with very solid trios after Cleveland:
BOS (Irving, Hayward and Horford)
TOR (Lowry, DeRozan and Ibaka)
MIL (Brogdan, Antetokounmpo and Parker)
WAS (Wall, Beal and Porter)

Washington's issue has never been top line talent. They have zero depth. None. Like, our depth is full of relative unknowns, which is concerning. But their depth is full of knowns - backups that are known to be terrible, which is far worse.
And yeah, the Boston trio is an improvement on last year (probably), but not only are they an unknown with how they play together, but the supporting cast is far more of an unknown, and seemingly a significant step back from last year's supporting cast in terms of known production, defence AND rebounding.
While Lowry-DeMar-JV has strung off 4 ~50 win seasons in a row, with a wide range of different supporting players, and then added Ibaka, in theory bumping JV down a peg.
