Do the Boston Celtics have another “death lineup”?

Do the Boston Celtics have themselves another “death lineup”?

The Celtics have had some pretty intense roster combinations available for deployment in the past. Some even rose to the level of being worthy of such a moniker. One existed in the 2021-22 season when the team deployed Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III.

The “death lineup” name derives from a hyper-efficient offensive lineup of the Golden State Warriors during their era of dominance in the league’s last decade of play. Boston’s defense was smothering enough to warrant such a moniker in some corners.

If they do have such a combination of players on the team, who might it include?

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast had to say.
