There was not a single point where he was triple teamed. Idk what family-guy is on about. He was double teamed, not every single possession but it did happen a bit. Tripled? Come on…
Lol maybe I shouldn't say triple teamed since it's going to be taken as 3 defenders guarding him within 3 feet when he has the ball

Yes, the Celtics didn't triple him when he iso'd. No team in the NBA actually triple teams like that
He was hard doubled on almost every drive with the baseline defenders almost always playing free safety to help in the paint anytime he got inside
This was VERY noticeable with Smart
When his attacks came form the elbow, the man guarding the 3 point shooter who was playing up top would basically sit around the FT line incase KD beat his man...just off enough to rotate back up to his man if KD made a late pass
Even the player who was on the opposite elbow 3/corner was playing way off his man because the goal was simply to not let KD beat them
Nets role players shot lights out % because of the gameplan(literally always open) but the Celtics had no problem with that because they knew it was never going to be enough if KD couldn't get his
It was the best help defense I watched the Celtics play since the KG era...and even with that, plays were there for KD to make...but he ain't no Lebron James
