I was listening to the radio and Felger mentioned something (yes I know) that really rang true on this particular point.Well skip has the cavs in 5 and sharp in 6 games. Nobody's giving us much of a chance which is good. We might see our guys to go an extra gear to pulled the upset.
The national media and basketball analysts, for whatever reason don't understand this team. They just assume that most everybody aside from the two big names (Kyrie/Hayward) are average at best and thus need to be considered a bunch of overachieving roleplayers like last years team that will be destroyed in the ECF.
The truth is that the Celtics are younger, faster and more talented up and down the roster than the vast majority of teams in the league.
Tatum, Brown and Smart are top 10 picks whose progress is accelerated by great coaching. We aren't talking about low ceiling vets like Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley here.
Celtics have a real shot at making it to the Finals and could probably make the Rockets sweat if they matchup.
