Born and raised in New England, I love the Celtics. Although I don't have too much time to watch games, I do try to at least stay abreast of the playoffs and I will always watch the Finals if they're in it. This year has been awesome for them, despite a lot of really bad setbacks. Gordon Hayward's heartbreaking injury and Kyrie Irving's late season hiatus being among the worst, the team has still been awesome. I attribute this to their young talent and also to their great coaching. Brad Stevens and his ability to pivot after the roster changes due to injuries has been amazing! I give credit to all parties involved.
They are currently up 3-0 in the second round of the NBA Playoffs and are potentially going to sweep (I predict that or 4-1). They have hustled and fought for wins, something that isn't surprising to me, as they are a scrappy young team that has tough, wily veterans on it as well, like Al Horford, who absolutely killed it in Game 3, during overtime. Now, although I love the team and how it has played, I think that the Eastern Conference Finals might be the end of the line for them. I'm not a naysayer and I would love it if they won, but they are likely going to be facing the Cavaliers and if by some miracle they do get past that, they will be facing the top west team, which will likely be a huge problem without Kyrie and Hayward. I hope they prove me wrong and show us a true Cinderella Story though! I hope they keep on killing it for as long as they can! Go Celtics!
AS ALWAYS, WISHES OF WEALTH AND HEALTH FOR ALL! :)
