As things currently stand, the Boston Celtics are one of the best teams, not just in the Eastern Conference but, rather, the entire NBA.
Having made it to within just two games of reaching their first NBA Finals in over a decade last season, the Cs are following things up quite nicely, coming into 2020-21 guns blazing as they boast a second-seeded record of 10-6 (sixth-best in the NBA).
Perhaps the most impressive part about all of this is the fact that they have managed to do a majority of this without their franchise point guard, Kemba Walker, who was sidelined for the first month of action while rehabbing an offseason knee procedure — though has looked great in his return.
