Guys, we got to jump right in because this was like an insane weekend, Keith.

Post-trade deadline, a lot of new faces and new places,

Demontas a bonus, just killing it in Sacramento?

I mean, what the heck is happening?

We got to start with the Boston Celtics.

They've now won eight straight games, 15 and 4 over their last 19,

and their latest victim, the Atlanta Hawks.

It was not a great game for Atlanta, Keith.

And I actually felt like, I mean, Boston had a great third quarter.

And the Hawks started coming back in the fourth and they got it really, really close.

But to me, I just trusted the Celtics defense because I've been watching for the last

20 games dominate.

Yeah, the Celtics, when they decide you don't want to score, you don't get a score anymore.

I think there's several of these teams nowadays.

The Cavs did it the other night.
