The Boston Celtics will begin their climb towards Banner 18 on Sunday afternoon when they host a mystery opponent (thanks a lot, Play-In Tournament) at 1 p.m.
Regardless if it’s the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, or Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics have to get their $#@% together and start the series off with a win at home.
Wins at TD Garden have eluded the Cs over the past two postseasons. In their 2022 NBA Finals run, they went a combined 6-6 at home. A year later, they managed to regress, winning just five of 11 games in Boston.
