All is right again.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Amazing win against a truly great team

I'm sure the critics will find an excuse for the Cavs loss.

Doesn't matter, great win.

Let's go Celtics!!!
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I'm currently in a hotel in Tokyo, standing outside my room while the housekeepers finish up. I'm "watching" the game on ESPN Gamecast, which consists of scrolling texts telling me what happened.

The demure Japanese housekeepers are wondering why the gaijin is jumping up and down, screaming and pumping his fists.

absolutely great D by AB on that last play.  great team D by the rest of the guys as well, running down LBJ trying to bury the game winning 3.   we got a bit lucky on the missed 3 by d will but who cares, great win!

Wow. That last sequence of AB guarding Irving was incredible.

It was unreal! We have the best defensive guards in the NBA.

Nobody guards Irving as well as Bradley.  He'll have good scoring nights as he's a special offensive player, but Bradley makes him work and he's forced him into tough shooting nights in the past.

Yep, and that's what defense is all about. It's not about always getting the steal or the block. It's about making things difficult for the opponent.

AB and Smart, and to a lesser extent Jae, are some of the absolute best at making things difficult for the opponent with smart, sound defense. AB's is the classic "ball hawk" that just absolutely drains you when you face him.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Flipped on Pandora and the first song is by Boston. What a way to end.

Bad enough I had to listen to the Cavs announcers the entire game on the stream I was watching.  Glad the C's won to make it worth it.

D Will shot 2-8. That's the the guy you want taking the last shot.
