In context

RaheemYou look at the Celtics, they've been top four in offensive rating the entire Missoula era. So I look at this franchise and a lot of people are going to say, all right, Jalen Brown, he's no longer there. He had a career year last year, but basically you're swapping in, you know, 82 games or so from Jalen Brown for that, for Jason Tatum, who was by far the better player.

RaheemHe's he's outperformed them in estimated plus minus box, plus minus win shares, every category. And then if you bring in Paul George, and I think he is the more portable player. And I say that from a stance of being able to play within structure, not have tunnel vision and basically shoot the three.

RaheemJalen Brown shot 34 % on cut and shoot jumpers compared to Paul George at 41%. What are the Celtics like to do? They like to put up the three. So they're going to put up a ton of threes. And then you also add in the fact that you replaced Nikola Busevich with Mitchell Robinson, who's one of the best offensive rebound and defensive centers in the league.

RaheemSo now you're dominating more on the glass. You've got better defense. You have a player who's more portable and Paul George who can shoot the three and play within structure. I think this is an easy over. So I took this over 49 and a half wins. You can go up to 51. And I'm going to be honest with you.

RaheemI also think they're in a position to where you could probably play some odds with this team. I think this, this, this Celtics team is an absolute juggernaut. And you asked me to do the Sixers. It's correlated with that, but I'll let you guys talk for a little bit.

SalCeltics over. So job security pick. That's all that is. Oh, it's not. It is absolutely not.
