Are we having fun yet?

Team started off 16-2 with Kyrie his first season before dropping back down.  Have to give it some time and see if the clear flaws on the team can continue to be overcome with solid overall offense.

Same team that went all the way to the ECF...yup that was fun...even without Kyrie and GH.

So you are not having fun?  Too bad.

Didn't say that.  I had fun during the 16-2 run also.  I had fun during win streaks last year as well.  Having fun and winning when it matters are not mutually exclusive.

I didn't enjoy the win streaks last year.  Last year started off 10-10, and winning streaks never lifted that lousy start for me.

We have 3rd best defensive rating in the league.  I wouldn't call those "clear flaws."

The defense is just a bonus.

When was the last time a Celtics team having three 20-point scorers.

I didn't identify the clear flaws, but the two biggest are a young inexperienced bench and lack of quality big men forcing Tatum to play PF.  Over the course of the season, I expect both of those things to be real problems and negatively affect the won/loss record.  If the offense can remain this balanced and good though, it can cover up a lot of the issues caused by those flaws.

Having so much fun.

I remember feeling a bit let down after Opening Night, wondering if it'd be "same old" like last season (with less talent). But man, they've been phenomenal since then. And they've beaten quality teams along the way (TOR, MIL).

I also think we might have a legit Big 4 in Jaylen/Tatum/Kemba/Hayward, and we haven't even seen Kanter yet (who I think helps us immensely with scoring and grabbing boards).
