The Celtics are a different animal:

That was the best decision I made in ages. The night before they were saying Curry was going to miss the game with a sore knee. You could see the last couple of games he was clearly not 100% so I just assumed he wouldn't play. So I binge watched "The Sinner" on Netflix and missed the game. I saw the halftime score and that Curry had started but I figured why bother so I didn't watch at all. Kerr said that Curry was listed as gametime decision but wanted to play, obviously he should have sat.
They've been playing much better and the margin is clearly concerning, but with Wiggins and Podz out and Curry not 100% I knew they would lose. Losing by THAT much yeah concerning. Last time that happened was game 5 of the Memphis series they lost 134-95 and at one point had trailed by 55 in the 3rd quarter before closing it to 39. The next game they won by 14 and clinched the series and later that season beat Boston in the finals.
I don't see THIS version as being able to do that but they are clearly playing their best ball of the season and getting GP2 and CP3 back has helped. The Wiggins thing is just like last year nobody has any idea what it really is.
Boston statistically is clearly the best team, they're big, they shoot the 3 well and they are a very good defensive team. I still kind of think Denver will beat them in the finals if they get there I just don't see Boston having anybody who can slow down joker but we'll see. They are awfully good.
