2. The Celtics still don’t have Isaiah Thomas.
Boston might have gotten the drop on Cleveland last time out because the Celtics had nothing to lose. They Cavs also didn’t know exactly how they would play without their star guard who is out for the playoffs with a hip injury, so time to refocus their defensive efforts should be beneficial.
