It says a lot that this team can a highly flawed game and still finish with a 25 point win against a competitive playoff team. That's crazy.
The 08 Celtics were a historically great team who played consistently hard/well, and they took 7 games to beat the Hawks, 7 games to beat the Cavs, 6 games to beat the Pistons and 6 games to beat the Lakers in the final - all very hard fought series.
This Celtics team is playing nowhere near the best they can play and they are blowing teams out by 15-20 points every night - there have been very few teams I've seen in the history of the NBA that have done that in the playoffs. It's scary to think of how good this team could be if they actually played a perfect game.
As for today:
* Won the boads 60-45
* Won from three 39% to 26%
* Won from the field 49% to 41%
* Won the assists 22 to 19
* Win the free throw attempts 14 to 13
The only category the Cavs won is turnovers, and just barely (5 to 6).
We just dominated them in every aspect of the game, and did it without Porzingis.
