Celtics defense is still one of the 2-3 best in the league, regardless of the injuries and lineup changes because of that.

That, to me, is what makes me confident that this team will win the Atlantic and a high seed for the playoffs.

Irving has shown Bradley that super fast360 spin dribble one too many times. He's figured it out.

Good enough for me.

Sixers have a top 3 defense, too, but they're also younger and deeper (so less likely to have injury problems), and their offense is better.

They've already had some serious woes in the big man situation.

Though the Rondo injury is far worse talent wise.

Younger and less experienced and I don't think them deeper.

Injury doesn't discriminate due to age.

Their offense is better for right now. Once Boston gets healthy and has Rondo back, they will be the better team.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Does everyone understand that the reason Verajao has all their points is because we are letting him?

We can live with Verajao getting 20 points if Irving and Jamieson don't score.
Keep trapping these two guys and let them hit one of four shots off the pick and roll with Verajao.
Smart tactic.

EDIT: Doc is the Man!
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Nice to see the C's step on the Cavs' throats to start the 3rd.  Andy is the only Cav out there who looks like he believes his team can win.

Fixed that for you.

Miami's defense this year has been quite not good.

Celtics: I'm going to pick up my wife from school.

PLEASE don't give up this lead while I'm away. Put Andy and CLE away.

PLEASE? That's all I ask.....

That is all.
