Simple question- considering all factors,  which one was more impressive...the loss to the Warriors or the win against the Hornets?


I say the win because it was on the road on a back to back against a good team. And the Celtics were physically and emotionally spent.

I'll say the loss.  Because gs at half strength is sti more impressive than Charlotte at 3/4 strength.  Plus they have all stars and a defending championship and undefeated streak.  We fought them tooth and nail

The win.. The GS game was physically and mentally exhausting.. To then go on the road, hours later, and beat one of the hottest teams in the East shows great resiliency.. Most teams would have lost last night in the same scenario.
What is more impressive is that they had the legs to hold them to under 100 defensively.
Last night was a statement game for the green and one that will make us even stronger.

Charlotte had been playing very well recently so that factors in.

How about just the combo of the last two games? Very impressive even though the record only shows 1-1.

The win because you'd expect a young team like Boston to have a letdown after after the GSW game.

With the GSW loss last night, I would say the win was more impressive.

After the gruesome battle, the Cs go on to win against a better team than the team the Warriors played. And won, while the Warriors lost.

However, the Cs won it in a close one, with Big Al suspended. I think Big Al would have killed us last night.

They actually seem to play better without Big Al. Their offense flows better and they don't miss him on D at all.

I would say that our last 10 have been super impressive.  We've gone 7 and 3 over that stretch with two of our losses being close ones to SAS and GSW, the two best teams in the league. 

We've beaten Miami, Washington, Chicago, and Charlotte--other teams legitimately competing for the EC Playoffs--over the stretch.

We crushed two underperforming Western conference teams featuring two of the league's young superstar big men in Sacramento and New Orleans.

We're in a nice groove.  Cavs next!!
