Jason Timpf of Hoops Tonight ranked the teams that lost in the NBA Finals over the last 6 years. A short video at 5min.

Here are his rankings:

#1 - 2026 San Antonio Spurs
#2 - 2022 Boston Celtics
#3 - 2025 Indiana Pacers
#4 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks
#5 - 2021 Phoenix Suns
#6 - 2023 Miami Heat

So where would you rank the 2023 Celtics among those 6 teams?

If those are his rankings, I would say he got the Celtics and Heat confused, as the 2022 Celtics and 2023 Heat went to the Finals, not the other way around.

My mistake. Not his.

I'll correct the first post.
