Keith Smith: It is enjoyable that the Celtics have somewhat broken the game of basketball. They are all new guys and very young. New teams and young teams don't win, but they are 17-3. So much for that narrative!
But it goes beyond that. Al Horford, a 6'10'' center, regularly leads the team in assists, including 10 tonight. Kyrie Irving is finishing inside at over a 65 percent clip, highest of his career. For what it's worth, that number is close to what elite wings and lots of big men finish around the rim at.
