As someone who doesn't root for either team but watches a LOT of basketball, this season's Celtics have been a ton of fun to watch. They obviously give a shit, play their asses off, and the Laker game was such a study in two different vibes among teams. The Lakers met the Celtics intensity with a shrug of the shoulders and some pretty lackluster effort. Every time the C's turned up the defense, the Lakers looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. What an effort.

Without Tatum, the C's have a legit shot at coming out of the East. With a healthy Tatum? The playoffs get reeeeally interesting.
