I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time on yesterday’s game. The Celtics were flawlessly dominant, but the Warriors also just had “one of those days” (which Boston has had this year, too - though not THAT bad). As usual, I’m trying to zoom out and think about what this recent win streak means to the big picture.
I have to keep reminding myself that NBA titles aren’t won in March. Plenty of teams have peaked too early only to find themselves stumbling when it mattered the most. Just last year, the Celtics peaked before Christmas, but when the temperatures and stakes rose, they couldn’t beat the Heat.
