Celtics have the 2nd best net rating of all time
Only behind the 72-10 Bulls.

Re: Celtics have the 2nd best net rating of all time
Top 4 in margin of victory behind
72 Lakers
71 Bucks
96 Bulls
Top 4 in SRS rating as well and top 4 relative o rating
Some of these numbers are ridiculous.
Whats crazy is half the staring rotation has been out lately and now the bench players are in top form

Re: Celtics have the 2nd best net rating of all time
They just shoot so well from three teams cannot keep up. Compounded by the fact they have plus defenders all over the roster.
I initially thought they would still need to play a bit tougher, more physical to move comfortably thru the East playoffs but I’m starting to feel like nobody has enough to challenge them regardless. A couple teams like Miami and NYK could catch them with their guard down if theyre not careful, but I think the C’s will be ready. Orlando, Indiana etc would play them tough and keep games close, but it’s doubtful theyd steal more than 1 victory. Milwaukee is supposed to be their biggest conference rival right now but I dont like the matchup for the Bucks.
It’s frankly getting hard to see any result other than Boston winning the conference and losing to Denver. Altho Im sure by typing this out Ill somehow end up jinxing somebody.

Re: Celtics have the 2nd best net rating of all time
They haven't handled adversity well this season because they've had so little of it. They're so used to coasting and resting that when things get hectic they have a big drop off. This might be a problem in the playoffs.
Aside from that their only threat is Denver because KP's too skinny to guard Jokic. If KP can guard your 5, Boston will blow you out.

Re: Celtics have the 2nd best net rating of all time
They are a true championship-or-bust squad. Zero excuses why they can't get it done this year because there will never be another (better) opportunity like this again.

Several players regularly kick the Celtic’s ass though. You have to keep that in mind. Not just butler. It’s a whole list of folks who stomp lucky’s face in regularly.I don’t think it’s anyway you can have a playoff run where you avoid Lebron,butler,Giannis,Jokic, curry, Kyrie, and the Timberwolves/magic . But yes if you can somehow avoid all those landmines + porzingis has to have 100% complete health throughout the entire playoff run. Yes, if all that happens, I agree you will be fine. Tatum will be holding the Larry O’Brien Award. Good luck with that…
