6. Boston Celtics (9-7)
Last week: 12
Even though the Boston Celtics have struggled over the last few weeks, I believe that they’re getting closer and closer to hitting their stride. There’s no question that this team has looked better as of late, but they still haven’t had their breakthrough.
Still, they’ve won two of their last three games and are coming off arguably their biggest win of the season – against the Raptors over the weekend, when they outlasted the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference.
The Celtics are going to have this run where they win 10 games in a row. It’s coming. They just have some more figuring out to do before we see it entirely come to fruition. Wait on it. They’re coming.
