Klay is a better shooter, better defender and passer. Kyrie can create his own

shot better though. I'd still take Klay .

I'm going on record with my prediction that the Celtics will not win a title

Yeah, but what if they get LBJ? Do you stay with your prediction?

6/8/18 11:20am

That would definitely impact it. But I don't think he's going there.

Depends a lot on Golden State, with how the teams are currently constructed

This is why I think Danny Ainge goes hard after LeBron this year

I agree with this. Between the W's and LBJ, there just isn't much room for

Predicting through 2022 is dumb

They're in a good position to compete based on their young roster

They're definitely in as good a position as any team other than the W's and

You don't think that team with Kyrie and Gary Hoyward wouldn't compete with GS?

Bluedarts

6/8/18 11:29am

I think they'd be competitive, but wouldn't win.

True, lot's of questions, but I see some crazy talent on that team that has a

I'm definitely not counting them out. Just saying < 50% likelihood in my mind.

No, I don't think they can compete with Golden State unless Tatum becomes a

I think he is well on his way to that already. Rozier and Brown also have

Who would you take on the Celtics over Durant Curry and Klay?

GRCoug

I'd take Irving over Klay

Kyrie can be on Stephs level, just not as consistently, but that would change

6/8/18 12:00pm

In what world is Klay a better passer than Kyrie?

Bluedarts

6/8/18 1:52pm

It's hard to compare because they play different positions, but Kyrie is really

Klay has never been the #1 option on his team and hits spot up 3s all game long,

I agree. As currently constituted, the Celtics are lite

Irving is a top 10 player when healthy

It's rare that the championship team doesn't have a top-5 player on the roster.

garyfan

6/8/18 11:45am

2011 and 2014 are the last teams without a top 5 player to do it

donnerstag

Dirk was arguably top-5 in 2011. #2 leading scorer.

Honestly, when Kyrie is healthy and on, he can be a top 3 player, it just
