They currently sit as the third seed in the NBA’s much-improved
Eastern Conference, with a 34-25 record (which would put them at the West’s 5th
spot).
They also boast of quality wins over top tier teams like the
Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, the Chicago Bulls, the LA Clippers,
the Miami Heat, the Indiana Pacers, and the Atlanta Hawks.
So why isn’t anyone talking about the
Boston Celtics?
Here are the four reasons why people aren’t
talking about the Celtics but also, why they should be talking about the
Celtics
TEAM “NO-SUPERSTARS”
Take a quick look at the Boston Celtics
lineup and tell me if you see a bonafide super star. Or even a clear cut top 20
player. The closest you’d get is All-Star Isaiah Thomas (21.6 ppg, 6.8 apg, 2.9
rpg), who started out the season ranked #65 by ESPN. Even then, sexier names
like Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, and Jeff Teague (all non-all stars this year)
are more likely to be considered “better” players than Thomas.
