C’s hitting their stride, fully healthy, 4 wins in a row and are finally looking like one of the top teams in the East. Thomas is playing on another level right now and I’m really starting to like Horford, guy is a defensive force although his shooting in the clutch has been abysmal.
I've particularly liked Steven's rotations lately, when fully healthy we can really see how much depth this team has. The unit of Crowder, Brown, Smart and Jonas has been a lot of fun to watch, their ball movement has been superb.
More importantly the team has reverted back to their style of play from last season, gritty and defensive minded.
Obviously our biggest set back is still size and rebounding, Amir, although solid defensively has regressed too much this season. I'd like to see Jonas get more minutes, he has really shown a lot (both offensively and defensively) in the limited time he has been on the court and at least from what I can tell has a leaders mentality while playing. I think Stevens should consider starting him over Amir, but I doubt it will happen.

Either way, it's nice to see the team starting to live up to their potential. They are a really fun team to watch, and probably my favorite Celtics team since the 2008-10 teams.
