Where does the trio of Tatum/Brown/Porzingis rank amongst other big 3’s in the league? (alien.top)

The Celtics are off to a leagues best 13-3 start and it is headlined by their 3 stars. The 2 way play between this trio is definitely up top as the leagues best. And it looks as Porzingis has had no trouble fitting beside the two J’s.

Have they already cemented themselves as the NBA’s scariest big 3? Or is there another trio that you’re more comfortable rolling with?

They are probably the most balanced of the 3, all 3 of them can easily make the all star team. While other big 3s are really just duos with a good 3rd role player.

Ant, Kat, and Rudy doesn’t really move me. KD, Book, and Beal might but we haven’t seen them play.

lmao how do the wolves big 3 “not do it for you”. They already beat your most balanced big 3 and have a win against defending champs and are first in west

I remember when the Wizards started 10-3 (they were the 1 seed) Two years ago and went on to only win 35 games. The Pelicans were a 1 seed as well, and partially due to injury only won 42 games and aren't looking great this year either. I know everybody wants to be overreactionary but 14 games doesn't mean a trio is going to be the best in the NBA or not. They might prove to be, but anybody that is skeptical after 15 games should have the rights to. There have been many hot start teams that have fallen off cliffs.

Interesting. The best record in the west but sure.

You think they are better than Tatum, Brown and Porzingis?

[–] Bixby33@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, it's not that far off.

Tatum is clearly the best player, but Ant is 2nd being miles above 3rd.

Brown and KAT are both flawed, but excellent when on their game (which KAT has been), and Rudy's defense can be as impactful as Tingus's offense.

Celtics are probably a better team overall, but the top end talent is comparable between the two.

And you felt this same way 14 regular season games ago?

[–] Bixby33@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The only change was KAT. Still early, but he's performing over my expectations.

[–] samueladams6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All you needed to see was Towns to over perform your expectations for 14 games to convince you they are nearly as good as Tatum, Brown and Porzingis?

[–] Bixby33@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, I'm pretty low on Brown, in general, and pretty mild over Porzingus. I get your point about sample size and confirmation bias, though.

So, at this point in time, it's fair to say, but obviously more games are going to be required to make a better judgment.

[–] samueladams6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So 14 regular season games is enough to change your mind on Towns, but not Porzingis? And you are down on Brown who has only been the second or third best player on four teams that have gotten to the conference finals or better?

The trio or the Minnesota Timberwolves have the best record in the west ? They aren’t the same
