Your Morning Dump... Where I ask, 'is it ok to feel good about this team again?'

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

As bewildering as the Celtics can be – at their worst their trailed by 17 points in the second quarter – they also need nights like this to sort out their many issues.

The Celtics, this time at home, beat a fleet Sacramento team for the second time in eight days with Thursday night’s 126-120 win.

Ultimately it was the kind of grinding win players such as Irving have been looking for from this uneven, oft-fragile team.
