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.

Interesting. The best record in the west but sure.

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

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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] samueladams6@alien.top 1 points 10 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 10 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.

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?
