"A lot of teams improved on paper, but the games are played on the floor".
I like his thinking.

Go Celtics!

If the great Bill Russell says it, it must be right and must happen.

That's what they were saying about the Celtics last season. Good thing we proved them wrong.

Yep. They weren't favored. But they proved everybody wrong 11 times.

While I have immense respect for Bill Russell, I think he is a koolaid drinker much like me. I want the Celtics to repeat. If they do not, I will not be surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised. This is a tough league and to go injury free for the whole season again with the pieces falling into place is a near miracle IMO.
