With a mere 11 games left to play out of the Boston Celtics‘ 82 total of the 2021-22 NBA season, the 2022 postseason picture is starting to come into focus for the storied franchise just as their level of play has landed them squarely in the contention conversation for hanging Banner 18.
Currently a full game behind their Atlantic Division rival Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference’s fourth-place position and a game and a half ahead of the Chicago Bulls, the 43 – 28 Celtics would end up facing the latter team in the 4/5 matchup in the East’s first round if the season ended today. And while that might be about as favorable of a draw as Boston could reasonably hope for, the season in fact does NOT end today.
To that end, the folks over at WEEI asked on a Celtics alumnus and NBC Sports Boston broadcaster in his own right, the “White Mamba” himself, Brian Scalabrine.
Watch the clip embedded above to hear the former Celtics big man share his thoughts on where he thinks his former team will finish, who they want to face, and more.
