Last year Celtics lose this type of game. So it is encouraging to see them find a way to win.

So it is encouraging to see them find a way to win.That’s a fair point but this team is 1-2 against real competition and still struggling against the grizzlies of the world.They have potential to be a title team but as of now they’re overrated and hopefully don’t buy into any hype about themselves
Why didn’t someone alert us to the skills of Bane ?

So it is encouraging to see them find a way to win.This actually what I was referencing in my previous comment about Holiday stepping up and settling the team down. If you recall a year ago, they would turn the ball over endlessly in games like this - and this one was headed that way. But just before it snowballed, Holiday acted like a veteran point guard and got them into a set and they scored. Can't recall the exact time but it was under 4 minutes and they were on the ropes.

We have the best record and point differential in the league. We’ve beat good teams that are beating other good teams .

http://powerrankingsguru.com/nba/strength-of-schedule.phpThis source has us at 8th in the league at strength of schedule. Compare that to Philly (19) and Milwaukee (23). People need to realize how many games we’ve played on the road vs home, too, especially compared to our competitors.
