With the standings firming, who are the contenders of the 2022-23 NBA season so far?
In the league’s Western Conference, the standings are a mess. Much of the conference is within a few wins or losses of one another. Only the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets truly stand out.
A similar separation can be seen between the Boston Celtics and the rest of the Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers look like they might be able to kick things up a notch if the postseason started now, perhaps.
The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor recently linked up with Ryen Russillo to talk it over at a little bit past the halfway point of the 2022-23 season.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the duo had to say about the order among the league’s elite ball clubs — and where the Celtics fit into that picture.
