That is the one flaw I saw with Boston. To make the NBA finals they will likely need to get past Cleveland, yet the player best positioned to try and defend Lebron was Crowder, and now he is with Cleveland. Not sure how good of a defensive team against elite offensive players Boston will be this season.
