The Boston Celtics are a championship team that just hasn’t won their championship yet. That’s not a guarantee of course. The Warriors and a few other teams will have a big say in who actually gets to hoist the trophy, but the Celtics are on that short list and they have a lot going for them this year.
They aren’t just immensely talented and well coached. They have the kind of experience that only a couple of deep runs in the playoffs can provide. They also have the burning drive of a team that came up short and knew that they could have done more .
