The Boston Celtics recently experienced troubling losses, including a blowout in Detroit and a significant lead collapse against the Cavaliers. Despite holding a better record than the Lakers, the Celtics fell in recent power rankings, overtaken by the Lakers, who have surged with eight wins in ten games. Analysts express concern regarding the Celtics' ability to compete effectively against top teams like the Lakers, Cavaliers, and Oklahoma City. The Celtics face growing pressure in the standings as they strive to maintain their playoff positioning while fending off emerging rivals like the Knicks.
"Getting blown out in Detroit and blowing a 22-point lead to the Cavaliers were terrible looks. Boston is unlikely to catch the Cavaliers and is closer to needing to hold off the Knicks."
"The Lakers have won eight of their last 10 games, are considered the best team in basketball since January 20, and now pose the biggest threat to Oklahoma City."
