The C's have seen off a rather rocky start to the season, which saw them lose to the Raptors and the Magic in their first 4 games, to now get to a 5-2 record and 3rd place in the Conference standings. The turnaround was engineered by their clutch W over the Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and they've since secured back-to-back wins over the Pistons.

Over the course of the aforementioned action, they've managed to nurse Hayward and Kyrie back to nearly their best form, and the whole team is benefiting as a result. Irving ditched his afro for a buzz cut, and promptly put up his first 30-point game of the season in a clutch win at the TD Garden today.

It'll be interesting to see them work their way up the standings this season.
