So far this season it seemed like the Warriors had figured out how to avoid getting called for every little thing, but that issue sure came back with a vengeance.
They have a lot of really good, young athletes and Brad Stevens is one hell of a coach.
Absolutely. Great team defense, and even a guy like Kyrie who's never been known for defense, on the season has looked pretty good as an individual defender. Don't know if it's system, effort or some combination thereof.
As was said above, crazy start for Boston after 0-2 and losing Hayward.

With Kyriea defense it's all effort. Looking back it's embarrassing how little he tried on D. But he would turn it up in the Finals.
Really impressive run and win for Boston. Imagine if they pried Porzingis away?
Hayward. But he would be taking big minutes from Tatum who s going to be a great player
I think Smart minutes will be impacted the most as the season went on ... his lack of O (I still do not understand why teams collapse and double him when gets the ball over even try and close out hard) ...
Looking at the stats, seems the Cs were off shooting by a lot. Still won. That's encouraging .
Yeah, but to compensate they made around 20 more free throws than the Warriors. Opponents of the Warriors used to benefit from that sort of thing every 5 games or so, but now it seems far less frequent... I think the Celts are the first to cash in this year.

If you're trying to imply that the game was called unfairly against GSW, that's a pretty tough case to make. There was as much grousing from one side as the other. Watching it, it seemed like a pretty well officiated game.
Pretty sure LeBron is calling up Ainge now.
