I'm so mad that it doesn't count because this, the Cavs, as you said, played everybody not named James Harden.
It was-- E- every year at media day, there's always the, how are they gonna play? I know you really love that storyline going into a season because each team is different, each roster is different.
It seems like they don't necessarily change how they play to a, a, a massive degree, but they just level it up every year.
And so when you think about the looks that the Celtics created in the first half, if you went back and you re-watched this game, the Celtics beat the Cavs not because they had a fluky shooting day, but because they created good looks for themselves, and when the looks didn't go in, Luka Garza was on the offensive glass, Jordan Walsh was crashing, Ugo was in there, Baylor had some incredible passes in this game.
They just delivered on the pain points, whatever you wanna call them, that other teams hate.
Luka Garza has to be the most annoying guy to see come on the court, except Mitchell Robinson, who did not play today, but is like the Pokemon evolution of Luka Garza when it comes to the offensive glass.
And you, like, I, I have so many, like, overreactions to this game, but I think, like, the most sane take is the Celtics have a clear vision of how they want to play.
They're very good at playing that way, and it's going to help them win games when things don't always go the way that they want.
It's just like last year and, um, the Celtics ended up with 27 second chance points.
Now, the Celtics did shoot 8 of 21 on second chance opportunities, which is a little funny, but they scored 27 second chance points.
