We’ve been busy with a bunch of other posts coming up, so this recap is gonna be pretty fast.

Eight in a row for Boston. What a November so far. This team is just scary good right now. Teams gotta be shitting themselves when they see Boston on their schedule. They’ll beat you down physically and on the scoreboard.
