Bill Simmons recently claimed the Nets were the #1 franchise he wouldn't want to be. We argue (convincingly) that the mediocre, expectation-less Nets are in a far better spot than the Celtics are (since they are obviously going to flame out again in the playoffs, leading to heartbreak, recriminations, and real fan suffering all around).

Share this with your Celtics fan friends - they need to know the pain that is coming.
