For the first time since that incredible playoff run in 2018 that saw them take LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics have the look of a team that’s fully together. After last year’s brutally disappointing campaign, the Celtics entered the 2019-20 season with a clean slate, hoping to start fresh and bring that energy back to the Garden.
Five games into the season, the Celtics are 4-1, trailing only the undefeated Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings.
