NBA: Grading all 30 teams at the 2019 All-Star break

Boston Celtics (37-21)

Despite everything that the Boston Celtics have – or haven’t – accomplished this season, they will still be one of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference once the playoffs begin in a couple months. With that said, there’s no question that their regular season thus far has been somewhat disappointing.

Jayson Tatum hasn’t taken the next step that many expected him to take during his sophomore season, Gordon Hayward hasn’t looked anything like his former self (but is having a nice start to February) in his first year back from his injury and there is plenty of smoke surrounding the potential departure of Kyrie Irving.

The Celtics could salvage this season by making a deep run in the playoffs and possibly making the NBA Finals but, considering that many thought this team was going to run through the East this season, they haven’t been impressive by any means.

Grade: B-
