Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the defending champion Celtics' wild inconsistency.

The Boston Celtics are the defending NBA champions. That means that they have the biggest target on their back possible. Every single game they play, they are getting the other team's best shot. Boston is also not playing very well since the calendar flipped to 2025.

“I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said. “This is normal.” The Celtics built a first-half lead on the back of their defense Monday before running away from the Golden State Warriors for a 125-85 win. It was less than two hours before tipoff when Kerr provided his perspective on his opponent’s recent slippage.

After avenging a loss to the Warriors, Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum gave Warriors and Team USA coach Steve Kerr the cold shoulder when he tried to chat with the two Boston stars.

Kerr's Warriors repeated as champions in 2017 and ’18, and no team has done it since. “I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Celtics have hit a slog in their schedule as it’s clear they haven’t been playing their best basketball of late. While they still have the second-best record in the East, they’re just 8-8 over their last 16 games as inconsistencies and other issues have bogged them down.

The Celtics entered the game 8-8 in their last 16 games. But on the first of four stops out West, they led by 15 at the half and never looked back.

The Celtics took a big step back towards consistency on Monday, crushing the Warriors 125-85 in their biggest road win of the season. The game-changing run in the blowout came in the start of the third quarter where the visitors soared to a 25-10 run in the first six minutes of the period,
