Mike DePrisco: I’ve liked how Kyrie is scoring more off of cuts in this game as opposed to going primarily off the dribble. Especially without Hayward, Irving will most likely have to exhaust his full offensive repertoire to maximize this team’s potential.
Tim MacLean: Not many positives to take from this one but I was pleased with the rebounding the Celtics got out of their starting five (39). Boston has won the rebounding battle in two of its first three games and they’re doing it by committee. Definitely a pleasant surprise after the last few years.
