The Boston Celtics is still the most formidable team in the East playoffs
Image source: express.co.uk Things are looking up for the Boston Celtics these NBA playoffs. After a regular season replete with issues on chemistry and on-court bickering, the team seems to have found its stride, mused entertainment writer Mike Giuffrida. The Celtics breezed past the first round, defeating Indiana via a sweep. Moreover, as of this writing, they’ve blown out top-seeded Bucks in the first game of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. A huge part of Boston’s newfound success is the sense of focus they’ve gained after losing Marcus Smart to injury in the first round. The loss of its starting two-way player and defensive stalwart seemed to have rallied and galvanized the team and led the players to trust one another anew. Even though Jayson Tatum has yet to be consistent on offense these playoffs, the improved game of players like Kyrie Irving, Terry Rozier, Al Horford, and Marcus Morris are more than noticeable.
