Who is more likely to choke in the playoffs: the Boston Celtics or Denver Nuggets? Both ball clubs stumbled a bit partway through the stretch run, and neither team has broken through to win a title in their current contention windows, their inexperience perhaps as formidable of an obstacle to hanging a banner as any opponent they might encounter.
Though it is true that the Celtics have made several deep playoff runs, they have yet to seal the deal, and while the Nuggets may lack the same amount of deep postseason runs Boston has put together in recent seasons, they have also been the more stable team this season.
To get an idea of which of the two teams would be more likely to flame out in the 2023 postseason, the hosts of the ESPN “Debatable” podcast dove into the topic to see how they felt about Boston and Denver’s resolve and talent.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
