Celtics 2025-2026 Discussion

Let's see if they can close it out tonight - they have a huge incentive to take care of business and then rest.

It doesn't hurt that the friggen Magic are on the cusp of taking Detroit out of the playoffs. Just shows you can never take any team for granted.

Detroit has to run the table with 3 straight wins now - which they can probably do but they have to be pretty dejected at this point.

That would nicely open the door to make it to the finals without facing the Pistons - though anyone in the West will still be tough.

Congrats Brad Stevens, NBA Exec. of the Year (2nd time).
Mazzula should win Coach of the Year.
3 of 4 Boston teams are in good hands.

I thought the Pistons were very overrated despite what the record said. Celtics and Knicks are and have been clearly the best teams in the East.

That being said let’s see how it goes for NYK tonight. They are in a battle themselves.

If the Knicks lose and the Celtics win, that will be another week of rest for the Cs.

That should be more of a no-brainer than Stevens Exec award. Without Tatum getting a 2 seed was damn impressive. The other candidates for COY can't say they improved so much but without their best player. I think the final results will tight but Coach Mazzulla is the right choice.
