You can count Celtics TV analyst Kyle Draper among those concerned about the Celtics playoff prospects. Though the team has played extremely well through an avalanche of injuries (Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart, Daniel Theis, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Morris) the playoffs are a different animal. And Draper frankly isn’t bullish about any first round matchup, especially if Irving is not ready to return from a recent procedure on his knee.
“I’m going to be honest,” said Draper. “I don’t like any of the matchups in the first round.”
