There was a lot of uncertainty headed into this season for the Boston Celtics, but they're really beginning to find their footing. This team was hard to watch just a few short weeks ago, but now they're beginning to put a lot of the pieces together. The part that should scare the rest of the league most is that they're executing in clutch time and winning close games.
The Celtics have turned what looked like a shaky "gap year" ride into something that almost feels playoff-ready again. Over the last five games, the Celtics have shown they can close out tough games even when nothing is going smoothly.
