A thing to watch for for sure. I thought d would be and issue after Wiz games but not many teams has shooters like they do. Our d is definitely forcing teams to be jump shot happy.

Its so funny how the entire media had us pegged as a 4 or 5 seed and in the last week the narrative has flipped to us making the Finals.

Everyone has suddenly discovered we have a ton of depth and good defenders. Funny how these things work.

Dinwiddie starting was a stroke of genius by Nash. Helps our defense and lets Caris cook off the bench.

I'm not used to having the best players on the court and our team cruising to a 30 point blowout.

It's almost as if a majority of the media provides lazy, poorly thought out analysis like Mark Cuban called them out on years ago.

Him and Marv are comedy at this point, because they're so bad.

Marv doesn't know what year it is, who's playing, or what's going on. Webber just says random words and hopes it makes sense, and usually it doesn't.

KD got less aggressive after the 1st Q and now theyre gonna sit the 4th.

Would have loved to see him get 26-30 but oh well.

It’s also funny because those opinions flipped even more today on TV when Steve Kerr complimented us yesterday and called us one of the best teams in the league.

Kyrie and KD sitting 4th quarters is the goal. Our goal is a championship so we need to pace them

Its all flipped after the Boston pre season game. People realized how stupid their takes were.

Bill Simmons for example was **** on us all off season. Then suddenly in his season preview pod he had us as #1 in the East.

Pop Smoke would be so proud. He was so excited for these two to debut.

He saw his team get flogged first hand. He knows that wasn't a fluke. Christmas day will be a cold one for the Celtics.

Two things:

With every min Hardens value will plummet.

If Simmons is on the table you take that and run like a thief.
