Most point guards dont usually elevate the play and record of their team so dramatically with the increase of their own play.

That's one reason why CP's historic season meant so much. It doesn't come around often... Not even in the last decade

I'd venture to say Boston was the best team in the NBA this regular season.

True enough though, criteria changes each year and the writers pick on their own biases.
