Boston Celtics

There’s no question that the Boston Celtics had a successful summer. After drafting a prospect like Jaylen Brown and signing Al Horford, it’s difficult to argue otherwise.

However, with that said, the Celtics are being talked about as if they’re going to be the team to finally dethrone LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. With all due respect to Brad Stevens and company, I simply can’t envision that happening.

For as good as Horford will be for this team – on both sides of the ball – I just don’t think this team has enough talent. Isaiah Thomas might’ve made the all-star team a year ago, but I don’t think he’s a top point guard in the NBA. Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder, even though they’re quickly getting better, still have a ways to go before becoming polished all-around players.

They still lack that one player that can win you a playoff game and series. Horford is not that guy.

The Celtics are going to win a lot of regular season games. They’re built for it. I’m just not willing to bet this team to do much, if anything, in the playoffs.
