I've referred to big Celtics runs as the times when they "form Voltron", because when they are able to ratchet up their defensive intensity, they form a five headed force that is completely unstoppable. At their best, they play team defense better than anyone in the league, and it tends to lead to easy buckets on the other end. Most recently, they were able to do this in the final half of the fourth quarter in game 5. When they are in the zone like this, there is nobody that can beat them, with or without KG (although they seem to be far less in control of when and for how long it happens with him gone). There is no point in talking about who is better or who should win tonight. The one thing I will say is that I'm really glad the there was an extra day of rest leading up to this matchup. We all just need to sit back, give ourselves up to it, and hope it happens.
In case you're unfamiliar, here's what it looks like:
important note: when I talk about the Celtics "forming Voltron", I am never ever ever referring to Vehicle Voltron.

This obviously did not happen, just in case you were looking for it.
