ESPN already comparing Celtics to 95-96 Bulls

Eastern Seaboard Programming Network strikes again.

 

I'm not sure which is worse:

that many people in one place writing about the league . . .

. . . or someone being able to name them "off the top of my head."

 

I guess that means the Supersonics are on pace to go winless for the season. Enjoy Oklahoma City bastards!

 

You're right. I need help.

 

Weren't the Suns (or was it the Mavs?) on a similar pace last year? We saw how that worked out ...

 

Must have read the book about what to do on a slow news day.

 

And if the Celtics were to lose to the Nets tonight (OK, not likely) they would be 6-1 and "on pace" for only 70 wins.

"On pace for" is total bullshit. It changes every fucking day.

 

So, we've got the Pats headed to 19-0.

The Celts to 82-0.

Next up: Bill Simmons column explaining why the Red Sox will go 173-0 next year.

Looks like the Bruins really screw up the finish to the storyline.

 

Looked it up. Mavs started 0-4 last year, then won 52 of their next 57. Finished 67-15.

But still, if the Celtics are 39-3 at the midway point like the 96 Bulls were, wake me up and I'll start paying attention ...

 

I do watch PTI on Tivo, but I would say I watch ESPN about 1/5th of the time I used to 10 years ago.

 

Of that entire list, these are the only two I remotely give two ounces of shit about.

 

They did this same stupid thing when the Pistons started like 32-4 or something like that a few years ago.
What made that even more moronic was Greg Anthony saying he'd take the Pistons over the Bulls - even though the season was 36 games old.
Oh yeah, the Pistons also didn't win the title that year. Idiot.
