The Boston Celtics keep doing them. They’re racking up statement results and I for one am not surprised at all. I’ve been saying this, watch out for the Boston Celtics. They have been on par with the Raptors and Cavs recently, all 8-2 in their last 10 games and are sitting pretty at 3rd in the East. Don’t tell me they’re not legitimate.
Doc Rivers knows what they can do, the Clippers got beat by the Celtics last night which included an epic point guard battle between Chris Paul and Isaiah Thomas. Rivers brought them to the promise land in the past so he knows what it takes. After the game last night, he knows they’re legit.
“They could make a run,” former Celtics and current Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “Listen, they’re not scared of anybody. They’ve got a bunch of junkyard dogs who can play. … You better be ready when you play them or you’re going to lose to them.”
Asked if the Celtics can sense that this might be the start of something big, Crowder did not hesitate in responding.
“We see it’s happening,” he said. “It was big for us. We want to take this momentum and go to the second half with it. For sure, we didn’t want to drop two going into the All-Star break. We just wanted to focus on this one and get this one, so we’re gonna ride this momentum into the second half.“
Now I don’t know if the Celtics can compete with the Cavaliers in the long run, (which is the goal for all of the East) but they should definitely go far in the Playoffs. You heard it here first.
