Boston Celtics: Exploring the best and worst case scenarios for 2019-20
Prediction
Ultimately, the Boston Celtics are a club of beautiful paradox, and unexpected outcomes. Fantastical expectations are sometimes met with bullish determination and sometimes our hero’s fall to earth and their human nature is put on display – we can’t always expect to achieve every expectation we are thrust upon by our peers in life but the Lucky Leprechauns always try their hardest – leaving everything out on the floor they possibly can.
In this upcoming 2019-20 season the reality is going to fall somewhere between the fantastical, near-mythical runs of the 53-point King of the Fourth explosion, and the falling to earth that was experienced when the star-studded “Warrior-slaying” Celtics were cast aside fairly easily by the Bucks.
Our hope and expectations can and should remain high, but most likely this club will claw it’s way to another NBA Finals appearance, or perhaps a gritty second round exit – nothing to be ashamed of, just another notch in the culture of giving everything you have out on the floor regardless of the outcome Boston has built.
