They managed to do it last season, for the most part(top 5 finish)..they are ranked 18th in defense, this season, though, due to injuries and Thomas being the worst defensive starter in the NBA
Dont jinx it tbh.

He's a PG by nature, SG for the C's by necessity. Still runs some point when he's in and IT is on the bench.
Watch Warriors hit everything against us and blow us by 30, tbh.
Nice close Celts.
Guys did WarriorRef rear it's ugly head this game?
Pretty hard to not be a terrible NBA defender when you're roughly my height tbh.
Fortunately they have guys like Bradley, Jamison Crowder and Marcus Smart who pick up the slack pretty well but that doesn't always work against a team with scorers at all the 1-2-3 positions
Calls were surprisingly pro Celtic. Only about 10 or so fouls committed total by the Celtics all game.
I think they'll definitely bring it on Saturday. They know what's at stake. Wouldn't be surprised if some of our guys laid an egg and we lost tbh. We SHOULD be fully prepared though. We know what's at stake as well. Most important game of the season and we have to have it.
It's on our court. Best thing we should hope for is the Wolves give them all they can handle and more, maybe push them to OT, but the Warriors still win, because we want them to come in tired and satisfied, not tired but vengeful.
You mean like we did to them on opening night?
Would love if Minny at least made it a game. Just so it's not a blowout and the dubs couldn't rest their guys for a half or whatever.
Brad stevens is a top 2 coach
If he continues to be like this, and given the Finals choke, is it safe to say it was just a fad? tbh
Lots of emo fans on that ty GSW forum, reminds me of another board...
I think Curry will turn it on in the playoffs tbh. He may not be unconscious like he has been the last couple years, but he'll be better than he has been the last month or so. I'm definitely not counting him out yet.
Yeah, but most of their fans have only gotten on the bandwagon in the last couple of seasons. They don't know about cliff-jumping over there. We've refined it to an art form.
Difference between this year and last is 30 made threes. That'd put his percentage back up around 45% and his ~59-60 eFG%. Might be though that he's already peaked and will still be great but not the unicorn he's been.
Jamison plays for the Redskins, but whatever... (Jae Crowder plays for Boston)
yeah... i mean it was pretty unrealistic to expect him to maintain his 15-16 level of play (statistically one of the GOAT offensive regular seasons), but he's fallen below where he was in 14-15, too
Great chance for the Spurs to catch them, or get really close, this week. They've been traveling a lot - from NY to Atlanta, then home and then Minny and SA on a back to back, they'll surely be tired. Their schedule for the rest of the season is incredibly easy though, bar the other Spurs game and a Houston game or two.
They still gotta play MEM, MIL, @ OKC , @DAL, WAS, UTA, and NO, none of which are cakewalks for them right now. Could see them dropping any of those potentially.

I think we can just chalk it up to a down year. He's been inexplicably bad on the road this year, while his home numbers are about the same as past years. He's only 28, so I'd think he isn't on the decline yet, especially since he's not over reliant on athleticism.
Add OKC to the 1st round and they'll need to save the refs' lives in order to get calls
This.
