Today we take on the 12-3 Celtics, currently the best team in the NBA by win total.
They are 1st in offense, 18th in defense. Their last loss came 9 games ago, to Cleveland, by 1 point. Prior to that, it was October 28th, also to Cleveland.
I will say, however, that their current run of 8 straight wins is a little padded: they've played the Pistons twice, OKC, Chicago, and the Knicks, none of which are good teams. There are, however, wins over ATL and the Nuggets, so there is real success there.
Put simply, this game will not be easy, in all likelihood. Even if we win, it will probably be a struggle.
So let's see what fight the team has in them.
