6. Boston Celtics (4-2)

The Boston Celtics got off to a slow start offensively, and I’m not entirely sure that they’ve solved all their issues, but they’re beginning to come around. And this team has too much talent and atoo good of a head coach to not figure it out.

And it really shouldn’t be surprising to see this team struggle a bit out of the gate. After all, this is a tam that is trying to reintroduce Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward to a team that really found its footing in the playoffs without them.

It’s going to take some time, but when this team begins to click the ceiling is limitless and they’re going to be a tough out no matter where the fall in the Eastern Conference playoff bracket. Hopefully we get a Celtics-Raptors Eastern Conference Finals.
