While I think anything could happen in the East, hard for me to consider the Celtics making the finals this year.
With that being said, I'm enjoying the ride. Such a great opportunity for the young guys to grow. Tatum, Rozier, Brown are getting priceless playoff experience, but lets not forget the bench guys: Jabari Bird and Semi Ojeleye, Bird wouldn't even be playing if it weren't for the injuries, probably the same with Semi.
Monroe with a big 17 minutes, 12 points and 4 boards. Nice to see him play well against his old team, while also getting the W. Underrated acquisition by the C's, it's paying off. I've stuck up for Monroe on here before, dude certainly impacts the game in a positive way if he is put in the right situation. He seems to like Stevens system (He has said so himself), and he looks comfortable out on the floor.
I remember how much crap Ainge took by taking Jaylen, as well as the crap for trading down to get Tatum at 3 (passing on Fultz). Those moves are looking quite good at the moment, clearly the right moves by Ainge, and the C's brass overall.
Again, championship or finals? eh... but I'm enjoying this.
And, Bledsoe saying he doesn't know who Rozier is after game 2.... ridiculous. Rozier has played 78 minutes completely turnover free, and had 23 points in both games. Bledsoe is 9-25 after the first two games, with 6 TO's. I Understand being confident, but c'mon... acknowledge that you need to do better.
