That's the lowest arc triple I've ever seen

Manu still doing magic tricks

If the Celtics lose tomorrow and the Raptors win, we'd be in 1st place! Is it?

unfortunately no. We'd be ahead on the losses column, but they'd still be ahead by winning percentage. The pesky thing is that they already played five more games then we did, so the standings are not not as clean, which is kind of annoying.

Tad early to worry about percentage points. Just keep winning

This was on the ringer today. Pissed me off

17. Enjoy the best Raptors team ever, but make peace with not seeing them in the conference finals.

Toronto is 25–10. It has a top-10 offense (110.1 offensive rating) and defense (102.7 defensive rating), which typically puts you in the title contender convo. They will lose to LeBron and the Cavaliers in the second round of the playoffs.

It's true but they don't say that about Boston lol

They brazenly assume boston finishes first. This is why first place is so important. Boston and cleveland would have to play in the 2nd round. Or if we don't get first at least let it be cleveland. Anyone but boston

Yeah, I was thinking earlier, as much as it pains me, I'm actually rooting for Lebron and the Cavs tonight.

For good reason. The Ringer is Bill Simmons' baby. Concepcion wants to stay employed and is angling for a raise.

Are you reading The Ringer for real? Oh boy. You can find some of the worst writing I've ever seen on that website...Just sayin'.

I can't root for either. I hope they somehow both lose

Cavs ain't Boston.

And Raps fans truly hate Boston and Knicks.

I can't. I was a Grantland fan but the talent they got for The Ringer is G-League by comparison. A lot of Grantland staff were apparently pissed the way Bill bailed on them in his ESPN spat, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hard time recruiting top-flight writers this time around.
