Way back in November, the Rockets delivered a bit of a wakeup call to Boston. After the Celtics started 0-3, they won three straight against New Orleans, Cleveland, and Philadelphia and had started to figure out what their identity was going to be.

Another good win for the Celtics!! I love Payton Pritchard. Starting or off the bench the guy is just a hooper. It's always sad to see fans cheering for their team to lose. I get it that they need to be bad to get a better draft pick but it just seems wrong. If AD doesn't come to the games to cheer on his teammates, he's not a very good teammate. I love that Tatum is there for every game cheering his guys on. I loved the last comment about what h...
