Last night we beat the Bulls on a road back to back without 3 starters. Wrapped up our first 5-0 week since 2005. On a 9 game winning streak while resting guys and using 8 different starting lineups.
Celtics have a mind-boggling 11.5 game lead in the East and a 6.5 game lead over the West. Historically good net rating and point differential etc. The entire roster from top to bottom is balling out.
Last night the Bulls announcers were raving about the Celtics like they were in legitimate awe. Then Sam Mitchell and Isiah Thomas raved about them on NBATV* and we C's fans went to bed thinking, "wow this is really cool, our team is so good."

Then we wake up to a thread about how we should be terrified of a Heat team in the Play-in that's 4-6 in their last 10 and just got blown out by the Ingram-less Pelicans after Jimmy Butler guaranteed a win.
*Spoiler:
Well the best regular season team hasn’t won the title since 2017. No one expected Miami to trounce the Bucks and Celtics last year, and Miami has a massive coaching advantage against both. I get being confident, but I don’t really understand Celtics or Bucks fans “wanting” to play them. A title is a title, and no one remembers the path. Why want to play the one team who seems to have a mental edge come playoff time? Falling down 3-0 and losing game 7 at home is no joke.
