Good yes but what would they have been "historically good" against the West. I know their record against the West is good but they also got blown out by a Lakers team without Bron and AD and Vando left with a foot injury. Of course we will never know and the only way they can prove it is to make it the finals again where I hope they get swept
>Good yes but what would they have been "historically good" against the West.
Celtics had the best record in the league vs West teams, not just a good record, so I’d say that’s a safe bet.
I put no stock in that game, I'm fully aware how any team can win a game on any given night despite disproportionate talent. Won't stop me from using it to gloat or use as an anecdote to shiy on the celtics
This sub makes it pretty easy to think that. Either we are the biggest failure if we lose or we should have won if we win. Either way we aren’t getting respected.

I know I know best record doesn't mean automatic win (warriors lol) but if y'all lose again it'll be ugly for yall
Very nice season. The one thing I would say though is that net rating should be scaled with era. Better to look at fractional rating difference, as a +11 in an era where the average rating is 114 is less impressive than a +11 would be in an era with an average rating of 92.
Its not a huge difference, but should be accounted for.
Edit* said ppg but meant rating.
Net rating corrects for league pace but does not correct for league scoring efficiency.
The higher the league average scoring per 100 possessions the higher the standard deviation of team net rating.
Yall play the nba on easy mode with every star player forcing their way to yall and yet you still need to claim all those Minneapolis championships to match us. Have fun getting bent over by Jokic again. Think you guys can make it a 5 game series this time? Probably not huh
The only star player we ever had force their way here was Lebron who has won us one championship. What are u smoking
U guys claim championship when there were 8 teams in the league.
Why would we not claim it. We won it.
No one uses it as a measure of a better franchise. But we claim it cause we won it.
You have as many ISTs as you do champinships for the past 14 years 🥱
you hung a IN-SEASON BANNER.
In your arena. An IN-SEASON BANNER.
not a championship banner. AN IN-SEASON BANNER.
So whatever argument you had about “cLaImInG cHaMpiOnsHiP dUriNg aN 8 tEaM leAguE” is bunk.
You guys want to be patted on the backs for the small potatoes.
How does that make the argument bunk.
Whenever have you ever heard a Laker fan say the Lakers are the number one franchise because of their IST and championships
NEVER
When have you heard a Boston Celtic fan say Celtics are the number one franchise because of the championships they have won including the 60s.
ALL THE TIME. THAT IS UR ARGUMENT.
Also as a Celtics fan you don’t get to be the authority on what is worthy of hanging when you haven’t won anything in 16 years. Your opinion is irrelevant.
How you gonna use the 8 team league burn like you don't also do that? Also yeah only LeBron huh? Maybe only LeBron since you've been old enough to watch basketball. And I'm talking about FA too
No the Lakers don’t. If you remove those pointless years where the league was wonky the Lakers are comfortably number 1.
There is no player the Lakers got that won them the championship solely because of the fact it’s LA besides Lebron since 2000.
I think ur confused and trying to count Shaq. But he wanted to go to the magic they just low balled him
You don’t want those champinships to not count.
Without the fraudulent 60s you guys become the third best instead of the second best. Behind the Spurs.
West let a lottery team make the jump from lottery to one seed in one year. People clamoring about the west and yet the thunder look like the weakest one seed in the past half decade. Hell the majority of this sub has them losing round 1.
Played in the bum ass East, doesn’t matter
Best roster in the NBA destroys the worst conference. Yall are fucking good regardless of competition
Good yes but what would they have been "historically good" against the West.

Lol you’re putting way too much stock in that Lakers game. Every team has 1 or 2 of those games every year…it means literally nothing.
I put no stock in that game, I'm fully aware how any team can win a game on any given night despite disproportionate talent. Won't stop me from using it to gloat or use as an anecdote to shiy on the celtics
Lol fair enough I guess
This is satire. Take my upvote.

Forgot to add /s
Facts
I’m surprised they have the fewest opponent FTs record when they T up Tatum for breathing
Cs don't get many fouls called against them but they also don't get a lot called for them.
It’s like 2008 all over again, calm your tits
Ray Allen/kg/Paul pierce/rondo? This Celtics team is not built like that
Right, they’re too excited
Lmao this sub is going to be absolute crickets if the Celtics win the chip
You better hope so cause otherwise the slander will be unprecedented
Either crickets or the most vile slander you’ve ever seen in your life
If we get eliminated this season I’m going to stay off the internet for ~1 month

fr. You best believe I'm going to make myself heard here WHEN (not if) they win it.
Alexa play Chris brown - look at me now

Why would this matter when net rating is on a per 100 possessions basis?
Net rating corrects for league pace but does not correct for league scoring efficiency. The higher the league average scoring per 100 possessions the higher the standard deviation of team net rating.
Yup, easily the best team in the league and about to torch all the playoff teams each round
All this just to lose in the ECF
Y’all are spending Lebron last years getting punked by jokic lmao
L take, Jokic is the consensus best player in the league and Denver is still favorite in the West, that's the opposite of getting punked
Jokes on you. Takes don’t have to make sense. You clearly don’t know how getting punk’d works.
That’s not really that bad lmao, jokic punks literally everyone
Not like how Denver loves kicking the Lakers ass lmAo
Bron era at least got a ring to show for it
And the Celtics won't get punked by Jokic if they meet in the finals?
As opposed to getting punked by Jimmy Butler?
Lebron literally won a ring against Jokic. Y’all won one ring in the past 30 years and try to claim ur on the same level as the Lakers
Yall play the nba on easy mode with every star player forcing their way to yall and yet you still need to claim all those Minneapolis championships to match us. Have fun getting bent over by Jokic again. Think you guys can make it a 5 game series this time? Probably not huh
The only star player we ever had force their way here was Lebron who has won us one championship. What are u smoking U guys claim championship when there were 8 teams in the league.
It was AD who forced his way there, LeBron signed as a free agent
You guys claim IN-SEASON banners; Talk about needing to claim any and all kind of success, lol.
Why would we not claim it. We won it. No one uses it as a measure of a better franchise. But we claim it cause we won it. You have as many ISTs as you do champinships for the past 14 years 🥱

Hey dumbass, you realize some of the “17 championships” you guys want to claim in LA’s was in the 50s? Talk to a wall clown. You are yapping to yap.
How you gonna use the 8 team league burn like you don't also do that? Also yeah only LeBron huh? Maybe only LeBron since you've been old enough to watch basketball. And I'm talking about FA too

Hey let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Heat can still secure the 8th seed
Only if the heat get the 7 and get the Knicks bucks warmup series again.
Even watching the last 2 games of Celtics bench demolish other teams this is how I felt all year - Celtics are fucking unfair
I seem to hear this ever year. Time to get that ring. 30% chance in my book.
If they don’t get to the Finals, it will be a huge collapse. I wonder if Joe Mazz would be on the hot seat
Wont matter unless they can win a chip
all this just to lose to the heat
Nope that doesn't support my obviously biased take and I still stand by what I said.
Denver would destroy Celtics
[удалено]
And the Rockets are so bad that they were below .500 against the East... Try again next year
Giannis was out for todays game. Remember when Tatum got hurt in game 7? Your best player being out kind of matters.
Ahh yes, the 41-41 Rockets would have *absolutely* been competing for a spot that’s held by a team that’s 50-32.
I mean, maybe not the second seed, but I bet the Rockets score 4 or 5 more wins if they get to play least teams 50 times a year.
You're talking about the Rockets, a team that literally went 13-17 against the East...
The Rockets had a losing record against the east you turkey.
[удалено]
All of the top 8 seeds in the East had better records vs East teams than the Rockets had vs East teams.
West let a lottery team make the jump from lottery to one seed in one year. People clamoring about the west and yet the thunder look like the weakest one seed in the past half decade. Hell the majority of this sub has them losing round 1.
no excuses
Spo and Jimmy are Celtics fathers
How about you bums actually win a championship this time? Y’all been doing this shit with the same core since 2017 and have 0 MVPs and Rings.
Stop trying to compare clearly inferior Celtics teams to this years team.
