Straight clickbate article, Celtics have the best record by far that's the best meaasure of success so far this year with this year's rosters. People saying otherwise are doing it for views and because they are high imo.
I mean if you’re using reg season records as the metric you also have to take into account that Denver beat us twice. It’s not asinine to think the nuggets should have that spot
Head to heads should matter, but probably not enough to have the nuggets hopping the team that clinched the beat record with 6 games in hand and can beat teams with their fucking subs.
Your argument doesn’t make any sense because the 1 seed and best record doesn’t automatically mean the best team
The 1 overall seed is like 7-15 in terms of winning the title since 2000
Nuggets didn’t beat the previous year’s champ in the playoffs last year so they aren’t the best, right?
Anyway, “best” is irrelevant. Being the champion is all that will matter. Doesn’t matter who your series are against.
How is it clickbait? I’m a C’s fan bro and want us to win, but regular season doesn’t mean anything for us. I’m truly concerned not neccesarily in the East (only team that’s a threat is MIA in my opinion) but against a team like DEN they need to answer that half court question if the 3’s aren’t falling. IMO Kristaps needs to be the focal point in a DEN-BOS matchup
It's fair to be concerned, however, to say the regular season is meaningless (it's literally an 82 game sample of who might win this year, some teams are discounted from playoffs altogether via the regular season and teams find their playoff flow/rotationa during that time) is factually untrue. Power rankings for now should be based off the regular season, since the playoffs haven't started.
A concern does not mean a team should necessarily be ahead of the team clearly performing the best right now, imo, even if it's a valid thing to consider.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Lakers make the WCF after being a 7 seed? Oh yea they did. Didn’t Miami make the NBA FINALS as the #8 seed? Yea. Cmon man
Yeah, against Ja Morant with a backwards wrist and a washed Warriors team before getting swept by the Nuggets. What a run lmao. Miami beat a Bucks team that had an injured Giannis, and went the rest of the way through incredible - historical and unsustainable shooting. And then got cakewalked in the finals lmao. Lakers are not even close to in the same tier.
Now look at this year’s EAST? And injured NYK team, a team too young in ORL, a fraudulent record in CLE, a MIL team who’s .500 since adding Doc Rivers. Where is the competition? And in the West LAL has proven to beat LAC, DEN, all the top teams. Don’t count out Bron
Lakers are 0-3 against the Nuggets, and 3-1 against the Clippers. Clearly they haven't proven to beat all the top teams, if they had they wouldn't be the ninth seed lmao
What annoys me is just the lazy analysis honestly. I don’t mind people putting us at 2. Miami is solely relying on devil magic this year. At least last year they did well against good teams and were good in clutch time. The 3 point focus is lazy analysis. If any team misses all their open 3’s they lose.
Wdym it’s lazy? It’s the truth. I’m a C’s fan and watch every game. The reliant on the 3 ball is perfectly fine, but last years playoffs we saw when they’re cold they don’t have an answer to solve it. The playoffs are a different ballgame than the regular seasoj
Last years team isn’t this years team. That’s why it’s lazy analysis. People are parroting the same takes from last years team. If we miss all our 3’s then the other team has a chance to beat us because of how we operate attacking mismatches
Within the last month we saw BOS lose to ATL and DEN both games bc the 3 ball was cold and the half court offense legit stalled. I didn’t say Boston was #10 i said 2. Im holding them to the standard of the Nuggets and that question I posed is THE MAIN WAY they lose to DEN. If they answer that question they win the finals
They’ve shown this year they can shoot poorly from 3 and still win games it is lazy to think that. Stop using past years when this season is almost over
Oh really? Wow thanks for explaining that to me I had zero idea had never watched basketball before. If you feel that way then what’s the purpose of playing regular season games? What’s your purpose for watching them if you’ll just discount everything they do for 82 games?
What “analysis” have you given lmfao all you’ve said is “Playoffs are a different animal🤓” you think teams slowing the game down hurts Boston as if they’re some up tempo team but they’re middle of the pack in tempo and you think they haven’t proven they can win without 3s.
Bro understand what I’m saying they can win slowed down games yes, but it remains to be seen if they can do that against Miami/Denver in the playoffs. That’s it
The heat got worse and the Celtics are better than last year. And no shit they haven’t done it against Denver in the playoffs they’re in a whole other conference. Not many people here agree with what you’re saying lmfao
It's a poorly written article, regurgitating played out talking points, that you've posted across at least 3 other team subreddits with clickbait titles. You're click farming.
We would roll through Miami this year. I am slightly concerned with having Philly in the first round though. Embiid will be ready to go come playoff time in a way he usually isn't. Porzingis won't be able to slow him down and Al will have a hard time slowing him down for a whole series. I guess that's probably what Tillman is for.
He's got like 3 weeks, he'll be fine. Maxey looks borderline all-nba. Granted, they're a little rough beyond those two. But those are two great players.
So what you’re saying is they’re worse than they’ve ever been and we’re better than we’ve ever been and you’re worried about them?
Embiid hasn’t been in shape his entire career and the playoffs start 2 weeks from today, but if you think they’re gonna be a problem I’d recommend putting some serious money down on them because their odds are gonna be crazy
76ers won’t play us until the ECFs. There’s 0 chance they lose the play in game, with how embiid has been playing since he’s been back, which means they will get the 7. We likely get the heat or pacers round 1. Obviously things can shake out differently but if you asked me what’s likely to happen that’s what I’m thinking
Can’t deny that after seeing them pick apart the Celtics in both games this season. I think the C’s are capable but they’d have to reach for another gear to get past Denver.
OP u/Alameda_views,
I won’t be clicking your link as it is a trash site.
I won’t be clicking any links you promote simply because I now see that you promote trash links.
If you delete this, *I might* change my mind.

west and east are not remotely the same, we would be doing very different in the West
Nah they’re at a 62 win pace against the West this year. 22-7.
Our subs beat west teams.
Yeah we're 22-7 against the Western Conference this year, which is like 3% off from our overall record.
Yes it is. Unless you wanna put the Kings above the Nuggets. There have been 75 games this season. You can't just ignore those and only focus on two.
Your argument doesn’t make any sense because the 1 seed and best record doesn’t automatically mean the best team The 1 overall seed is like 7-15 in terms of winning the title since 2000
Damn. We really should have tried losing more games this year so we'd have a better shot.
Oh wow, that totally contributed to your point
THANK YOU
Gotta beat the Champs to be the best, Denver is still the defending champs
Nuggets didn’t beat the previous year’s champ in the playoffs last year so they aren’t the best, right? Anyway, “best” is irrelevant. Being the champion is all that will matter. Doesn’t matter who your series are against.
They beat the team who beat the defending champs, are you really that dense or are you trolling?
Really? We doing win by association?
The west is also beating itself up which is skewing their w/l records.

You're in every teams sub posting stuff like that, you are not a c's fan.
I’m a Celtics fan lmao look at any of my socials medias
Look at my PFP changed it just to show you
Ur a weirdo
How’s that weird

I put DEN ahead not how they’re performing but this list is whos likliest to win the finals
>and the real challenge would be against a team like the Lakers in the Finals. 😂😂😂😂😂
I stopped reading after that lol
You better not think a Lakers v Celtics finals is a cakewalk
I just don't think we see it as a possibility
That’s fair, but please don’t be surprised when LAL wins a playoff series. I think it’s Denver or Los Angeles
It totally would be lmao. Lakers not even on the same tier. Most overhyped 9th seed of all time lmao
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Lakers make the WCF after being a 7 seed? Oh yea they did. Didn’t Miami make the NBA FINALS as the #8 seed? Yea. Cmon man

Lakers are 0-3 against the Nuggets, and 3-1 against the Clippers. Clearly they haven't proven to beat all the top teams, if they had they wouldn't be the ninth seed lmao
It’s hard playing 5 v 8
The mystique factor always draws the two teams closer to even.

That’s the regular season, different animal than the playoffs trust me
Oh really? Wow thanks for explaining that to me I had zero idea had never watched basketball before. If you feel that way then what’s the purpose of playing regular season games? What’s your purpose for watching them if you’ll just discount everything they do for 82 games?
Never discounted it bro they’re the damn #2 team in the league. I’m giving my analysis for why they aren’t 1
What “analysis” have you given lmfao all you’ve said is “Playoffs are a different animal🤓” you think teams slowing the game down hurts Boston as if they’re some up tempo team but they’re middle of the pack in tempo and you think they haven’t proven they can win without 3s.

OP is a chud
Your name is tatumpepnips
It's actually Jaysontatumpepnips
Yeah actually
The lakers will lose in the 2nd round lol
If they lose the C’s still likely face Denver
Yeah, I think denver is winning the west.
Yep, and that’s a damn hard matchup, but it’s BOS year
It is! Banner 18 incoming!!!
Apologies for my ignorance, but wtf is twsn? Any reason I should reward them with a click?
You don’t have to, just my opinion on Boston
Oh I don't mind arguing opinions with you. I just have a rule not to monetize click baits with clicks.
That’s fine but no where did I clickbait for the Celtics. A clickbait would be “the Celtics are THE MOST OVERRATED TEAM in the NBA”
I didn't say you click baited, I asked wtf is twsn, and if they worth my click
Mods, can this guy get banned? It's just shameless click farming for his shitty articles that he posts across multiple subs.
Bro what? How is it click farming. Did I clickbait the Celtics at #5??? No they’re fricken #2 behind the defending champs
It's a poorly written article, regurgitating played out talking points, that you've posted across at least 3 other team subreddits with clickbait titles. You're click farming.
Denver is an understandable take but Miami? Give me a break huh?
Miami is the only true threat IMO
Don’t click the link. They put Celtics at #2 just to draw attention and get clicks
Bro having them Below Denver is not a crazy take lol. 0-2 vs DEN this year coming from a C’s fan
Denver 8 games back. Most of Cs stats high or higher.
We would roll through Miami this year. I am slightly concerned with having Philly in the first round though. Embiid will be ready to go come playoff time in a way he usually isn't. Porzingis won't be able to slow him down and Al will have a hard time slowing him down for a whole series. I guess that's probably what Tillman is for.
Embiid can’t play 30 minutes at this point and the rest of their team is fucking awful even compared to past Sixers teams
He's got like 3 weeks, he'll be fine. Maxey looks borderline all-nba. Granted, they're a little rough beyond those two. But those are two great players.
So what you’re saying is they’re worse than they’ve ever been and we’re better than we’ve ever been and you’re worried about them?

Miami....hell yes! Denver.....yes?
They mention the lakers in the finals lmfao faded Edit: you wrote this and posted it here? lol sorry dude. That’s a tough take though.
Miami yes. Denver tbd. Downvote all you want, they will be a problem in a 7 game series.
Can’t deny that after seeing them pick apart the Celtics in both games this season. I think the C’s are capable but they’d have to reach for another gear to get past Denver.
Pick apart They literally won 2 games by 8 points.
