It’s no secret that the Boston Celtics were rolling out one of the most menacing core group of ballers the league had to offer throughout the majority of the 2019-20 campaign.
With the likes of All-Stars Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum, arguable All-Star snub Jaylen Brown, former All-Star Gordon Hayward and potential Defensive Player of the Year candidate Marcus Smart, the C’s mustered together an impressive record of 43-21. This had the team ranked third in the Eastern Conference, fifth in the entire league and headed to their sixth straight playoff appearance — clinched a postseason berth on March 10th, just one day before the NBA was forced into a COVID-19 induced hiatus.
