Christmas has arrived Boston Celtics fans. The gifts of the 2019 NBA off-season have revealed their values, as the team currently sits at the #2 seed in a top-loaded Eastern Conference playoff picture. There is plenty to cherish this holiday season for fans of the NBA’s most successful franchise.
I, admittedly, thought the C’s match-up with Toronto was a lump of coal for NBA fans when it was first announced. The Raptors had lost Kawhi Leonard after winning it all and didn’t project to be a top seed anymore. Little did I know, Paschal Siakam would ascend to an All-NBA talent, averaging 25 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
