Did anybody prior to last year think Jeff Teague was a star?
How many do we have? Do you think that we are going to three or four? If so, please post it so we can hold you accountable. How is Santa and the Easter bunny doing?
Did anybody prior to last year think Kyle Korver was an All Star?
He is markedly better shooter than anyone we have from deep.
Are you really going to say that Paul Milsap is a STAR?
He is a two time all star. Where have you been? Live in a cave? What is the excuse?
16.7 PG last year. 7.8 RPG .48% FG that is not bad.
2× NBA All-Star (2014–2015)
NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2007)
http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3015/paul-millsaphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_MillsapThese are stats and not opinion. Also you do not mention Al Horford who is a beast. This kind of blows up on you when you consider that one, no? We do not have two bigs of that caliber. Milsap and Horford are a lot better than our two best bigs. Horford can protect the rim too.
What the Hawks showed last year, and other teams have shown before, is that you do not need a top-5 MVP candidate on your roster to compete for a title. To win one? Maybe that's necessary. But not to compete.
What the Hawks showed last year was that they were not a playoff caliber team once the playoffs began, the same could have been said of us with our getting swept. How did that work out for them in the playoffs? Not well. They were still better than us, and the consensus in this post agrees with that. Compete for a title, where did that come from? They lost in the playoffs rather soundly and were great in the regular season. The NBA is a star league. You can count on one hand the teams that did not have a star.
The title of this thread should be I feel the Celtics are better. Because not much though went into it. It is largely a product of emotion. Until we do it on the court and I do not see us winning as many as the Hawks last year, it is ready better. We will be a hard playing competitive team though.
