Lol, Celtics fans have a knack for having a ton of faith in other teams and their players apparently (see also: zombie heat and Orlando magic).

It’s not. It’s a ranking of who is most likely to win the NBA title this year. Of course, the headline and URL say it’s a power ranking, which is confusing as hell, but the article itself says it’s about title chances.

Very weirdly implemented article. Guess just one of those things where the guy who chooses the headline made a mistake?

Power rankings tend to have some pretty strong inertia. It’ll take them time to catch up to how good you are, but they’ll get there.

The unlikable force meets the unlovable object.

Rofl exactly. Tier 2 and 3 should be combined but it’s “prettier” this way and people debate more if the tiers are smaller. I don’t think you can meaningfully separate anyone in the Giannis, Embiid, Steph, Luka, Tatum tier right now.

To me it should be Jokic tier 1 and Giannis, Steph, Embiid, Luka, Tatum in tier 2. I don’t think you can differentiate any of those 5 that significantly.

Silver was at this game and joined the Celtics commentary team for a bit in the 2nd quarter. God damn do I wish this happened while he was on the call.

Who cares? Some players are consistently allowed to scream in a refs face for 30 seconds with no repercussions.

It’s unconscionable to bring new lives into a world that also contains JT’s claps. This is on you.

NBA players must not be allowed to high five. They are far too tall. Think of how high the fives would be. I get nightmares whenever I picture it.

Eh, it’s all worked out pretty well for the both of us, 8-2 brother!

Bare minimum 3rd best.

Thank God for Milwaukee… I loved Malcolm, but him, White, and PP doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as what we ended up with.

I love how we have 4 awesome but largely quite reserved players and then JB dunking and flexing constantly.

If you didn’t see the other comment, apparently our stats guy is named Dick Lipe. But I’m also fine with this version of the truth!

In the last week, I’ve gone from “what is this Bally Sports bullshit?” (when I was struggling to find a Celtics-commentator stream for our game against the TWolves) to “oh shit Bally Sports rules” (when I saw this legendary rant).

Guess I have to go back to thinking Bally Sports is some bullshit.

Use the boost to chase!

I’m just here to compliment Queta’s sweater.

Yep. Peacefully chewing grass by the side of the road until suddenly darting in front of your car. (This kills the buck).
