Bucks, Sixers, Wolves, Magic, all lost their last game. It seemed like the Celtics were struggling to keep the 1 seed (26-6 now) even with their excellent play. Finally these other teams that were keeping up with us are coming back to earth, and Celtics are gaining some separation in the 1 spot. Celtics have potential to keep playing at this level (.800). Will they? None of these other teams can maintain that kind of pace long-term. 1 seed is the Celtics to lose. Let's hope they don't get "bored" and blow it.

Surprised Hayward never recorded one (hasn't gotten one TripDub ever) in his time in Utah. Missed it by an assist 3x. Expected Deron Williams to at least have one too.

Marcus with another brutal game. I hope he recovers his form but it would be in line with tradition if Smart turned out not to be as good as he looked with the Celtics. Not a lot of former Celtic leaving Boston and doing better elsewhere other than Rozier maybe Nesmith.

Not a surprise considering Smart was also inconsistent when he was with the Cs.
He's really at his best playing a bench role.
As a starter, he's just too up and down.

It helps that the Thunder are on the 2nd leg of a back2back, on the road, and had to spend 4 hours in an airport waiting for the flight delay to clear up. We never get lucky like that.

Pacers vs. Bucks
Heat vs. Celtics
If that's the 1st round matchups this year then the NBA will be golden.

Wolves down 20+ to the Pels. Cs can’t lose any more games. Go 65-0 rest of the way. Leave no doubt.

I need to see if Fox’s leap with his three ball and pull-up is for real. If so, he jumps up a considerable amount.
Still behind Shai and Hali though lol.
