No question. But while I know I know it's every year, at what point should we seriously question Cleveland's defense and move them from overwhelming East favorite to slight Eastern Conference favorite? IT's coming back and should greatly help their nightly compete level, but he won't help on that end.
Somewhat relatedly, you know what else is pretty good? This Celtics 25 & under core
Al Horford was indispensable and Aron Baynes great again tonight, but man Kyrie was cooking in that 2nd half tonight & everyone else except Morris (who not too surprisingly was terrible tonight in his first game back) is 23 or under.
Finally, I agree with Zach Lowe etc that the Kyle Kuzma future MVP hype train has gone to typical Laker excess, but how did he fall through the cracks that much? I recall watching some late night PAC-12 games where he was Utah's best player, but he certainly didn't jump off the screen like you'd think someone who can seamlessly fit in as an NBA rotation rookie would.
