T-minus 28 days until we see the Boston Celtics take to the hardwood once again and embark on their quest for championship number 18.
Prior to the COVID-19 induced hiatus on March 11th, the shamrocks found themselves within the upper-echelon of the league’s teams, and, with a victory on March 10th, they secured their sixth straight postseason appearance.
Boasting a record of 43-21, Boston saw themselves ranked third in the Eastern Conference standings, fifth in the NBA’s standings, and, subsequently, fifth within the league’s power rankings.
With the fact that they were constantly rolling out one of the league’s most talented core groups of ballers in All-Stars Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum, arguable All-Star snub Jaylen Brown, former All-Star Gordon Hayward, and Swiss Army man Marcus Smart, it’s easy to see why the Cs were able to find so much success in 2019-20.
