The Boston Celtics have the second-best record in the NBA’s Eastern Conference at 41-24. In fact, the C’s are just two games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for first place in the East. Record isn’t always an indication of actual standing in the league, though. Even Celtics coach Brad Stevens recently admitted his team isn’t as good as its record. One former player disagrees with Stevens. TNT analyst Kenny Smith — a two-time NBA champion — had plenty of praise for the Celtics and their best player, point guard Isaiah Thomas, during the network’s Thursday broadcast of NBA basketball.

This season saw that record remain, despite the best efforts of the weather – and Marquez pulled off one of the bravest wins of the year. On a single dry line on the track, the Spaniard gambled on a switch to slicks and kept it inch-perfect as he reeled off a string of ever-faster laps. Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) and Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) completed the podium, with the German GP proving a turnaround of sorts for both after some difficult races over the first half of
