In recent years, the Warriors were the ultimate measuring stick for the Celtics. Now, Boston is the team the rest of the league, including Golden State, envies. They’ve flipped the script and have become the new barometer for success.

The Boston Celtics have shown their formula works, no matter who is on the court. They are going to play their game, and they aren’t going to let frisky opponents deter them from it. Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets was no exception.
