OKC Thunder: TI editor power rankings week 17 – At last, the break

Incredibly the dramatic season of the Celtics just keeps uncovering new ways to stir the pot. The Anthony Davis melodrama pulled Kyrie Irving back into the mix.

Still, this squad remains a team who if they ever figure things out could be the most dangerous in the Eastern Conference. The problem is most of the Celtics issues seem to stem from their own internal issues.

And, just as Anthony Davis gave them an escape clause Kyrie managed to find yet another way to get annoyed. Geesh, whoever is the public relations crew for these guys need to teach them how to avoid answering questions.

Or, learn from one of the best, because you know the OKC Thunder media core have dealt with Russell Westbrook’s  ‘no comment” or “next question” on multiple occasions. The Brodie may not be beloved for his curtness, but he knows how to promptly extinguish a fire.
