Celts beat Jazz - 123-107.

What's wild is that they did it without-
Jaylen Brown
Kristaps Porzingis
Al Horford

A great game to exercise a bench and different combo's. Also. Luke Kornet had an awesome game, starting as 3rd Center. This team has talent like I've haven't seen before. And I was a Celtics fan since 65.

The chemistry seems pretty tight right now.

If they are healthy and continue to move the ball, they can win the title. All of the top 6 C's play excellent defense. They can all switch. They can attack from back court, wing and front court (say.., White, Tatum and Horford.) Then they can do it again with Jrue, Jaylen and Kristaps! While they shoot a lot of threes, they also drive well and have two low post threats. All their top 6 can bury the long ball. The spacing is insane.

They are a fun watch right now. Their depth comes in really handy in the regular season. Tonight is a good example. I am a complete homer, but if we shoot the three ball at league average rates, I have a tough time seeing how another team will beat us in a 7 game series. The C's have earned that home court advantage.. and are defending the home court much better than recent years.

The C's are hungry. Close doesn't cut it. Failing to reach the finals last year and losing to the Heat on our home floor should light a fire under them. Horford and Holiday are going to slip soon. Now is the time to win it all.

But I agree, I think this is the breakthrough year for the Tatum-Brown era. And then lets see how they evolve into a potential dynasty. I am blown away with the depth of this team.....Hell, their 2nd team would probably have a winning record if they were the starters,
