The NBA's Fearsome Foursome - Where do the Boston Celtics rank?

On the heels of the Boston Celtics downing the mighty Golden State Warriors Friday night, it is time to take a look at where the Celtics really stand both league and conference wide.

The result of Friday night's games aside, how close are the Celtics to building a championship caliber team? They are actually closer than you might think. The Eastern Conference is a mess. A couple of good moves, whether through free agent signing (Hassan Whiteside, 3 point marksman), sign and trade, etc. and the Celtics can easily make a run for the Eastern Conference championship next year.

Below is a list of the every NBA team along with their top 4 players in a statistic called Win Share.

The Celtics are currently ranked 10th. Here is my opinion of the teams that are in front of them.

1. Oklahome City? Yup, But they could lose Durant.
2. Golden St? Yup.
3. San Antonio? Yup.
4. Cleveland? Could lose LeBron and J.R. Smith. Plus they seem dysfunctional.
5. LA Clippers? Yup
6. Toronto? Not really
7. Atlanta? No. Plus Horford could be gone.
8. Charlotte? No
9. Utah? No

Which team's 4 players would you rather have? Especially in the Eastern Conference.
