The media was so unfair to Boston this year. The Celtics don’t have 5 players who can ALL shoot threes and can all defend/switch. They legitimately have 8. After Boston beats Dallas in 4 or 5, people will realize how unfair their roster is in today’s NBA.

JJ Redick, Molly, and a couple others picked the Celtics and they are right on. When the Celtics sweep Dallas, the, “I didn't know the Celtics were this good.. Blah Blah Blah,” narrative must Go.
