I don't care how great the Celtics are at one position. You don't have the best defense in the NBA because of 1 or 2 guys.
i never said that. obviously other factors like stevens and that horford is playing extremely well on defense matters too.
I was saying that the Celtics roster does not look like a roster that should be this good on defense (or offense). As good as Jaylen and Tatum are, the roster still looks like trash. I think they have a lot of regular players that just buy in. It is amazing what they are doing. I think Brad Stevens deserves the bulk of credit.
A good enviroment makes everyone better, rookies and scubs included, the Celtics are a good example of a great enviroment as today. The roster is good, but not as good as they're doing so far this season.
Marcus Smart plays hard but he's such a bonehead. He is absolutely killing the Celtics. This happens often with him but tonight is the worst I've seen so far.
