Why can't we talk about a threepeat?

I've seen many people and so called experts express that the Celtics are the best team in the NBA. Just because you read here and there that some people like the Lakers more or the Cavs doesn't mean that the whole media thinks that.

If anything, it's the fans around that think they're better. But I think the media, as whole, knows that Celtics are the best team.

The funny thing is is that these same experts were calling the Celtics the best team last year too... until the playoffs. Suddenly the Celtics were in the championship facing the LA Lakers and the Celtics didn't have a shot. All but one of the ESPN experts picked the Lakers to win, and it was going to be an upset if the Celtics did win. Yeah the Lakers were hot but could they really deny the great season the Celtics had all year long?

Can you really blame them? Celtics weren't playing good basketball during the playoffs. Even many Celtics fans were doubting the team...

So it seems to me that your simply still bitter about the abudance of favoritism displayed during the finals last year, instead of criticising the current media's stance which is not as you portray it to be.

This is repeat year. 



One 'peat' at a time please.
