Why the Boston Celtics can make a deep run in the playoffs: The Celtics have been there and done that – it’s in their DNA

Interestingly enough, this current Boston Celtics’ core has been there and done that more than one time. With Jayson Tatum and/or Jaylen Brown on the roster, the Celtics have actually made the Eastern Conference Finals three times.

It’s something that has become easily forgettable but the Celtics have made the Eastern Conference Finals in three of the last four years. While Tatum and Brown are still relatively young, Tatum has made the conference finals twice with the Celtics and Brown three times. That experience matters in the playoffs.

The Celtics have the talent, roster depth, and experience that it takes to make a deep playoff run. This is a team that has done it before and there’s no reason to believe why they couldn’t do it again. The Eastern Conference may be a bit deeper this season but let’s not forget about the Celtics. And if they’re entering the playoffs hot, all bets are off on how far this team can go.
