Pretty big win tonight at Boston IMO

As much as I don't care for Al at the Arc®, a quick glance over the NBA and I could see him ranked anywhere from 15th-20th.  Would you take Towns for him straight up though?

Short answer, yes.

We all love Al, but he's being seriously overrated by some.  And Paul Millsap is clearly the best player on this team.

Best part of last night was all the backdoor cuts.  This is the first time all season I've seen Bud and the team adjust and not just rely on their shot, even when it's off.  Get the easy points!

Long answer, hell yes.

I finally watched the second half today. I loved Horford playing in the paint and Sap was awesome in the fourth. Schröder also played the entire game after Teague went out--that was huge. Outside of our play, Nique called Olnyk "oh-lick-it" at some point.

This was a huge win and it seems even bigger now after the Orlando victory. You hope that maybe that practice we had after the Heat game did mean something.

Creeping back toward Top 5 in the East...

I'm looking forward to being snugly nestled in 2 for the new year and beyond.

Miami's backcourt is weird and they can't depend on Deng, the Bulls are lost, the Pacers are short on talent and are falling back to Earth, and DeMarre's foot ain't right.  Charlotte, Orlando, Boston, and Detroit still need another year of lumps before they can compete on an experience level with us.

Hate to say it, but this is the only team that matters in the East outside of the Cavaliers. Every other team in the East playoffs has shown they are absolutely terrified of LeBron. Bookmark this, any other series other that LeBron vs the Pacers in the ECF is going to be a laugher until LeBron retires.

You lose all credibility by using Bleacher Report as a source. I won't use choice words, but I'll say that's purely an OPINION source.

Rating players is always subjective.  Please, post the DEFINITIVE  objective player rankings.  I'll wait for it.  Thanks.

Bleacher Report is top notch as a sporting news/editorial service.
