NBA: 9 unnecessary overreactions after the first week of the season

The Boston Celtics are going to be really, really good this season

Despite all the noise surrounding the Boston Celtics leading up to the start of the season, which entailed a new head coach and the losses of Robert Williams and Danilo Gallinari, it’s been all systems go for the defending Eastern Conference champions through the first two games of the campaign.

It’s not just that the Celtics beat two other Eastern Conference playoff foes in their first two games, it’s how effortlessly they were able to do so on both occasions. And, remember, that’s without Defensive Player of the Year candidate Robert Williams roaming the center.

That leads me to believe that the Celtics are going to be really, really good this season. Or they have the potential to be.

Once this team gets fully healthy and their stars get into full swing, the Celtics have the chance to be quite overwhelming. Why should they? They were a couple of wins away from winning the championship last season.
