All right welcome to Hoops tonight presented by Fandool here at the volume happy Thursday everybody we have almost made it to the end of the week and I hope it's been a great one for you guys.

We are down to the final two in our power rankings and today we'll be doing number two the Boston Celtics before we get started you guys know the drill subscribe to the volumes YouTube channels you don't miss any more videos follow me on Twitter at underscore Jason LT so you guys don't miss show announcements that's also where I clip NBA footage since we're not allowed to use it on YouTube a lot of the plays that I reference on the show you can find them there I also give little descriptions and stuff I do my rewatches and and film sessions and stuff primarily through Twitter.

So in the top tier of teams we had the Clippers the Bucks the Celtics and the Warriors in that order.

And I saw a tiny bit of a gap between three and four between the Bucks and the Clippers mainly just because of health I think of all of the teams in that top four in that top tier they have the most health concerns but it's strictly health with them I'm not concerned about drama with them at all they very well could have the most talented roster in the league I think them in the Celtics have the two most talented rosters in the league so it's not like a net situation where there's weird ego stuff going on or a Laker situation where there's a lot of things that I'm going to do.

And I'm going to do a Laker situation where there's a Mal content that they might have to deal with no the Clippers just might get hurt and they've shown a propensity to do so that's why kind of have them at the bottom of that pack the top three the Bucks Celtics and Warriors I view extremely close to each other don't view much of a gap between any of them.

The primary reason why I put Boston over Mill Wacky was this summer those three teams all had opportunities to get better and the Bucks basically stood Pat and the Celtics went out and addressed their biggest weakness which was ball handling with a very good player and Malcolm Braggden a 20 point per game guy a six assist per game guy who's extremely efficient especially as a pull up jump shooter and as a catch and shoot jump shooter.

So they addressed a need they got significantly better when you were looking at Boston's closing lineups there were concerns about that fifth man right you're like okay I like Marcus smart Tatum Brown or for that's great but are going to play Rob Williams or we're going to play Grant Williams or we're going to play Derek White like what are we going to do there all three of those guys came with big pros and big cons and now they have a sure fire five man lineup that they're going to be finishing games with its Malcolm Braggden in that fifth spot a significant loss.

A significantly better player than the other three players that we mentioned and something that actually actually makes the Celtics a considerably better basketball team in my opinion now the Warriors did not get better this off season on paper and theory right in fact they got a little bit worse with the loss of Gary Payton the second and with the loss of auto Porter junior we're going to address that a little bit more tomorrow when we're covering that but the primary reason why I didn't drop them.

In addition to the obvious basketball reasons I think they're smarter basketball team there I want to talk a lot about the Warriors tomorrow and what they do well but the primary reason why didn't punish them for the inability or unwillingness to go out and be more aggressive in this off season was the simple fact that they've got three rookies on the roster and James wise been John the coming gun Moses moody that should improve rapidly over the course of this year.

There why is been didn't even play last year will give them another option in the front court and they have incredible player development over there so I feel like they're going to make improvements simply through their player development and their young prospects that they have coming up there's nobody in Milwaukee or in Boston that kind of fits that mold of young player that could see sizeable improvements this year.

I want with the Warriors at number one because I think that they are the best combination of talent coaching you know personnel that fits modern basketball there I think they're the smartest team I think they're the most disciplined team I think they're the most experienced team and they have the most continuity that's why they're number one we're going to elaborate on that a lot tomorrow I had Boston over Milwaukee even though they barely beat the bucks without Chris Middleton because first of all I think Tatum is going to take.

A lot from last year and improve as a player we're going to talk a lot about that today and that Malcolm broaden signing.
