Boston is not as good as your cherry picked stats tell you they are. Most pundits agree btw. No one is saying — except Boston fans and you and a few others in here - that Boston is great. You’re kinda on an island.
You come up with these narrow definitions and try to insist that everyone abides by your definitions. Folks here aren't exhibiting cognitive dissonance. We're all fans sharing opinions and doing our best to make our cases based on the data we see.
And your use of the word "absolute" there is silly. You want to take someone to task for being over the top and then throw out the phrase "absolute cognitive dissonance." Come on Kettle.
If you don't think Boston is a great team, then make your case. If you don't like the numbers that others use, come up with something better and make your case.
If you want to have more fun here, then talk basketball with us instead of resorting to ad hominem.
We're going to have fun either way. We can either read your actual basketball thoughts, consider them and offer comment about the basketball content. Or you can keep doing the silly ad hominem stuff and we can just reply "Mavs in 3!"
Not very astute ^^^^
