So dont the Red Sox. Boston just got the best fans
You see it with the Sox and Pats too. Last 20 years have been pretty nice for us Boston fans. City's been on a tear since I was a freshmen in hs

I was so wrong about Brown after the draft, and I'm pretty happy to admit that
But the player who makes the Celtics’ defense go is Al Horford. If the Defensive Player of the Year vote happened today, Horford might win it. The 11th-year veteran has been central to Boston’s stifling of superstar opponents ranging from Kristaps Porzingis to Carmelo Anthony to Joel Embiid, among others. The Celtics’ success is a testament to the entire coaching staff and the players, but Horford is the defense’s linebacker: He directs others and is almost always in the right position.
Horford averages only 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, but defensive counting stats don’t begin to tell his impact. He isn’t as much of a shot blocker as he’s a master of angles. He uses positioning and timing to stick in front of the opponent. He’s light on his feet and can keep in front of guards, or freakish forwards like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Al Horford Is the Engine of the Celtics’ Monster Defense

...that would be the Boston Celtics. You wanted it, you got it. People are actually writing columns about this team potentially knocking off the Warriors in a seven-game series this summer. They’ve won 15 in a row. Just embrace the madness for now. It’s happening.
