Some questions being answered early on. Jaylen Brown's out, the center situation is messed up, and they're beating cupcakes. But - Hayward is finally starting to pay off for them. Tatum, is progressing as they would hope, Kemba is Kemba. The Celtics have a good flow with their core. We haven't seen Kanter, as the injury/no defense thing has been going on. either way, they have it within their means to make moves.
There are quite a few people out here who feel, say, and argue Kyrie was the main reason the 2016 Cavs won the championship. I say those people are as credible as actual flat Earthers.
hayward looking like he did in Utah. the quickness getting to his spot, the smoothness, the confidence... it makes a big difference for this team. i didnt think they had a chance this year to make it out of the east but they will be tougher than i thought.
