“We have a long way to go. We’ve been playing well so far but we have so much we have to clean up and get better at. The best thing is we’re finding our way through the mistakes through the rough patches, through the adversity."

That's how Kemba Walker summed up the Celtics' 4-1 start to the season, as Boston has rebounded from an Opening Night loss at Philadelphia to reel off four straight victories, including a statement win over the Bucks and a last-second thriller over the Knicks in the past week.

Despite playing without Jaylen Brown and Enes Kanter, the C's have handled adversity well — something they failed to do a season ago.

So the team is getting an A in chemistry so far. Let’s check the report card to see how they fared in other subjects last week.
