As far as useless, air-filling television segments are concerned, I actually find one that ranks the uselessness of the Cavaliers to be relatively useful. In fact, if LeBron's (and to a lesser extent, Kevin Love's) supporting cast is going to continue to be as hopeless as they've been thus far then I just might spend the second half of the next game that's sure to be out of reach at that point crafting my own power rankings of Cleveland's counterproductive players just for the sake of debate. I mean, it's not like this series has offered all that much else to argue in circles about. LeBron is great. The Celtics, as a collective, are better. Not sure there's a lot of expounding that needs to be done on that, so we might as well try to differentiate between the levels of invisibility of damn near half the "active" participants in a playoff series that sure doesn't look like it's being played for conference supremacy. It's both harsh, as well as a result of the brash bravado of Boston sports' affiliates, but that doesn't make it a practice that's anymore unfair than being forced into watching a professional basketball team apathetically sleepwalk through one of the final matchups of the season. Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time thinking of even one noteworthy play made by the huge pool that is those that have been incompetent enough to be eligible for this list after two games, so while I'd like to give you my rough draft, it would currently have more unenthused parties tied for "first place" than a tee-ball league. Whether or not everyone deserves accolades remains a huge talking point in 2018. Since this race to the end the bench is as close as any, might as well continue to get some mileage out of it as a conversation starter.
