Prior to the COVID-19 induced hiatus on March 11th, the Boston Celtics were seen heading into the 2019-20 postseason with momentum well on their side.
Through 64 games, the team accumulated a record of 43-21, ranking them third in the Eastern Conference, fifth in the entire association and, as of March 10th, headed to their sixth straight playoff appearance with a hard fought victory over the Indiana Pacers.
To us at Hardwood Houdini and, frankly, copious other media outlets, Boston is viewed as a serious threat to the top seeded Milwaukee Bucks to represent the East in this year’s NBA Finals — if and when this event takes place.
