The Boston Celtics are the current owners of the longest streak of winning games in the entire NBA with eight victories in a row catapulting the Celtics up to become the team in sole possession of the Eastern Conference’s sixth-place slot with a 33 – 25 record.
But, as critics are quick to point out, Boston has been playing a comparatively light schedule in recent weeks after an absolutely brutal slate for the first half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Which in turn begs the question of just how real — and impactful — is this new iteration of the ball club?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast Kwani A. Lunis, A. Sherrod Blakely, and Gary Washburn got together on a recent episode to debate exactly this point, as well as how the team’s moves at the 2022 NBA trade deadline changed the Celtics moving forward.
