We haven't untill we play the best team in b-ball on Sunday... I'll give you a hint they're based in Canada.
Good assessment:

Mook is a very talented guy but his BBIQ isn't that high.

I like Marcus Morris. He was low key an upgrade over Crowder for that 3-4 spot.

Hes not really complaining to the team about it. He knows he had ongoing soreness in his knees and we're just being careful with him. It's okay to understand but still be frustrated by it. He wishes he wasn't on the restriction but it is what it is

If we have Horford and Kyrie back we win, if not I don't see it.

Okay watching our games I'm damn impressed and so it's not crazy to me that we are 11-2, but how in the **** are the Pistons right there behind us at 9-3?? I really haven't watched them at all, are they legit or just a sweet schedule or something?

Bradley's injected energy into the whole team. Drummond got diminished in people's minds, but he's really good. They were more talented than their record last year.
(I kept hoping the Celtics would trade for Drummond last season and kept posting about it. At least the Celtics did get another Piston center.)

Celtics have had the 3rd easiest schedule so far, per BBRef. Pistons had B2B wins at Golden State and at LA (Clippers). Also had wins against Wolves and Bucks. They seem legit. Harris, Bradley, Jackson, and Drummond have all been good though AB still remains a net negative for whatever reason. They also have decent depth in Galloway, Ish, and Leuer.

Yeah, our record is remarkable essencially because of the circumstances (so many new players, so many young players and injuries to stars). With a full roster, I expected this type of record with the schedule we had so far.
But like I said yesterday, you take KD,Curry and Klay out of the Warriors and I doubt they win many games. This team has shown incredible heart and perserverance

11 straight wins in the NBA is impressive no matter how you slice it.
I do wish the team works on their high fives and body bumps. It could be the lack of practice days hurting us in this regard.

I'm going to say the streak comes to an end and we lose tonight. Why?
The Celtics always seem to win when I doubt them. They feed off my negativity. So I'm going to do my part to power them to victory!
