Blakely: Work in progress, but oh, what progress

The words of Stephen Curry following the Celtics' 92-88 win over his Golden State Warriors had an off-handed, end-of-the-night throwaway feel to them, a statement that would soon be forgotten after the Warriors reel off what should be a long string of victories going forward. "They're playing the best right now in the East," Curry said of the Celtics, who now have a 3-2 edge in their past five meetings following Thursday night's thriller. The Celtics and the Warriors are both quick to remind us all that we are only a month into the season and that there's still lots of basketball to be played.
