Right, so we should be getting heaps of attention.

It’s not just your threads. It feels like this sub has been going downhill overall this season in terms of content. I’ve found myself paying more attention and enjoying NFL content more than NBA this year

They’re way too good with Brown and White to tank lol

Yellowbucket58 | Celtics

Pretty much. The team is absolutely thin on talent but having actual championship level starters probably means you’re gonna be competitive regardless of overall squad talent. The team has also been incredibly healthy to start the season, which is needed because any injury to Brown, White, or Queta would be disastrous.

The East is ass even if you try to tank you gotta be extremely bad to do it

They’ll need to shut down a few players Jaylen Brown is a better first option than most East teams

It’s not just the East. The toughest battle in the league this season may be to get into the lottery, and a couple teams who try to do so, may fail and “have to” visit the play-ins.

There are at least 9 teams who are either tanking, or sufficiently bad that they appear to be. 9 teams have already lost double-digit games, and 7 teams have lost eleven or more, and only a handful of teams have even played their fifteenth game.

The bottom third of the league is as-bad as it has ever been.

Aidanator800 | Hornets

The West currently has two teams under 500 who are set to make the play-in. In the east a 500 record doesn’t even guarantee you a play-in spot.

The bottom of the west is arguably worst than the east.

Pels, Clips, Grizz, Mavs, Jazz, Kings are all shitting the bed right now.

In the East you just have the Wiz, Nets, and Pacers, but everyone else is competitive or at least fun like the Hornets.

It was never going to happen unless Jaylen came down with a mysterious injury.

As is, they’ve still got a legit All-NBA #1 scorer, a fringe All-Star, a 6MOY, a bunch of strong role players, defensive/championship identity, and a great coach. That’s more than at least ¹⁄₃ of the league has.

Like yeah they’re missing Tatum, but he’s worth 15 games tops off a 60 win team.

TreyAdell | Celtics

I’m not sure why anyone thought a Joe Mazzulla coached team was gonna tank. All this guy does is think about how to juice the possession game lol. He’s completely changed the Celtics style on both ends to get more out of this team. Attack the O-Boards relentlessly, create turnovers, don’t turn it over, and play hard. That plus the top talent still being very very good there was no way this team is gonna tank. Jaylen has talked about what he would do as a #1 for years, no way was he gonna do anything less than what hes doing right now lol.

We were never gonna be able to unless we got hit with injuries, brown/white/pritchard are just too competent

Only thing holding us back earlier in the year was Pritchard and white started all time cold from 3

And yet you’ll still get people trying to prop up MPJ’s pure counting stats like they’re not getting clapped by double digits nearly every game. Last year’s team had double the wins this year’s does by this time of the season. It’s crazy how much their defense has fallen even more

NetsCode

2 | 16 hours ago

we traded away schroder, cam, and dfs our defense was expected to crater. Mpj’s stats are impressive b/c he’s scaled up while remaining efficient. This team was purposely made bad to get a better pick b/c we got screwed by the lottery last season. No one is winning with this team.

Yellowbucket58 | Celtics

The top end talent might be just too good for that and Mazulla doesn’t strike me as a coach willing to tank

Aidanator800 | Hornets

Yeah, I doubt the Celtics can catch up to the 1-win Pacers and Wizards and the 2-wins Nets at this point lol

Celtics are not going to tank unless Brown or Queta have to miss games.
