Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2715685, member: 488"] They won 16 in a row to finish out the season, much of that coming without one of the best players in the league. Bear in mind they also posted a better point differential than a Boston team that had Kyrie for 60 games. I guess I just don't understand the desire to bring out the kiddie gloves when it comes to assessing this team. We're not measuring them with the same scale we use to measure most young teams. There was every reason to expect them to win that series and they fell flat on their face. Losing like they did would have been an acceptable result against Hayward and Kyrie or even just Kyrie, but for one of this generation's best big man prospects to get outplayed by Al Horford is a huge L no matter how you slice it.
