Celtics Have Best Record in the League! (merged threads)

[iadera]

Boston has allowed 94 or fewer points in every game during this 7-game winning streak.

We are legit and we still have the same heart we had last year it appears.  So much for the Kyrie is going to kill us and taking time to gel crowd or our season was over.  I hope folks that thought this stuff can still enjoy the team.

We are fun to watch though, I won't lie there were times when I was worried last night.  It is early in the season but I am pretty optimistic.

brad stevens is a wizard...4 returning players from last year, hayward injury, rookies/second year players thrust into large roles...and they win 7 in a row. I think its safe to say players buy into his system and his system works. reminds me of how belichick can replace guys left and right and keep chugging along.

and so much for the myth that Kyrie Irving cant win without lebron. hes leading this team right now. goes to show you that it was more the personnel for cleveland(built around lebron) and coaching that led to his poor record in cleveland without lebron

Gordons leg grew back together watching that game last night ...LOL

This team with a healthy Hayward could beat GSW in a 7 game series. No doubt in my mind.

So, Stevens is Belichick and Kyrie is Brady?

I can dig it.

Kyrie is displaying MVP-Pedigree so far. He's got a competitive and talented team around him and he is showing what he can do - at the ripe young age of 25.

Character win in OKC for BOS.

It's well known that Lakers fans are Vegans, so this would be impossible

being in California, it would either be Artichoke hearts or Hearts of Palm

Solid Defense, accompanied by good size and length will do wonders. Attach that with enough scoring, and you get a formula for winning.

Too bad ESPN or any other media outlet are not going to recognize the Celtics because they too busy praising their almighty LeBron James and his 50+ point performance last night.

But let's go Celtics!!

I was up for about a half-hour after the game flipping between ESPN and NBAtv and there wasn't even a blip about the Cs win over OKC. I get it, they were just on ESPN so maybe they didn't feel the need to immediately discuss, but, my lord, you would think Lebron James was the actual Jesus the way they were talking about him.

As for the Cs, yeah, totally - they are awesome. Another apparent big test tomorrow in Orlando who is playing way too well. Hopefully we can pour some cold water on that, too.

It just goes to show why not tanking and building a winning culture is the way to construct an NBA franchise.

It shows that fleecing a desperate GM/owner is the way to construct an NBA franchise.
