The Boston Celtics managed to put together the second-best record of the 2022-23 NBA season despite the chaos surrounding the Ime Udoka scandal and the uncertainty of the Robert Williams III and Danilo Gallinari injuries. For some reason, fans of the team and analysts alike seem to have slept on the Celtics’ ability to succeed in the postseason.
After a convincing Game 1 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference playoffs, it seems the Celtics are the team to beat this postseason, especially considering several Game 1 stumbles among competing ball clubs.
Did the Celtics underachieve in the regular season? Or were they keeping a little in reserve for the 16-game season?
The hosts of the “Pro Fans Sports” podcast linked up with CLNS Media’s Josue Pavon to talk it over; check out the clip embedded above to hear where they came down on Boston taking it easy or not seriously enough in the regular season.
