Philly and Boston Set to Explode Off the Break—Who Will Dominate the Early Clash?
The Celtics went from being a team that no one expected to go anywhere to a team that ended up second in the East. It seems crazy to say they had low expectations, but that’s what happens when your second-best player (yeah, I said what I said) is injured and not expected back this year. And, when the team trades away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis in the offseason, it doesn’t make people think Boston would be great. Jaylen Brown, the best Celtic player, had other ideas and played like an MVP candidate this year. Brown, already the owner of a Finals MVP, could help lead Boston to another deep run if the team is healthy. Sure, it helps that Tatum is back, but I still expect them to be cautious with him – but this series is one Boston could win without him, even if he doesn’t want to come back as a role player.
