That is why we play the games folks!   Preseason predictions mean nothing.

See, I don't think they're a surprise team, I expect a two or three seed out of them.  They were a better team this year, but were hit by the injury and COVID bug.  They improved their roster in the off season, so I expect more.

I wasn't saying surprising Celtics fans as much as saying the media who has pretty much written the Celtics off on every poll I've seen. I'm mostly seeing the Celtics listed as the 16th best team in the NBA while the Lakers somehow get a pass and are considered a top team with a 36-year-old LeBron and an oft-injured AD.
who has Boston as the 16th best team?

And the Lakers are better than Boston.  That is just reality.

The Lakers finished exactly the same as we did last year.

Espn has us 13th. CBS has us 14th. NBC has us 11th. Sportsnaut has us 14th. Bleacher report has us a 17. I can't find the 16th rating but I can't find any in the top 10 which I think we are.

Silas says 10!
