I am less concerned about a win and more interested in how the Celtics play defense. If they put up the type of defensive effort and stats they did in the 4th Q against Memphis, against Indiana, and the last 3 quarters of the Atl game, and they lose to NY, I won't care. That will just mean they had a bad night offensively.
If they keep playing defense like they have recently, this team will be a threat for the NBA Finals. Mark my words.
