Boston Celtics: 3 reasons to believe in the C’s title hopes

Jayson Tatum is a superstar talent with limitless potential

Over the last two-plus months, there’s an argument to be made that the Celtics have been the best team in the league. However, in addition to being one of the best teams in the league, the Celtics also have one of the best individual talents in the NBA.

At least offensively, there aren’t many players that have as high of a potential or ceiling as Jayson Tatum. He has garnered comparisons to Kevin Durant and, when he’s at his peak, he’s almost equally as unstoppable on the offensive side of the floor.

If Tatum can continue to make the strides he’s made this season and carry that over into the postseason, there’s no reason to believe why the Celtics can’t make a deep playoff run in the Eastern Conference.

Just when it seemed as if this team’s core had hit its ceiling, it’s looking more and more likely that the Celtics will be one team that no one in the East will want to face in the postseason. The Celtics are scary, talented, and clearly rounding into a legit championship contender.
