Let me start by saying that watching the 60's Celtics teams overpower most opponents was great to watch, but there was often a level of boredom to it. Those Boston teams were so skilled and deep, they dominated most opponents. The 2018-19 version of the Celts? Disappointing is putting it mildly. It was a classic demonstration of under-achievement. We hope to not see that again.

Go back to the 2016-17 guys in green. They went all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers led by Isaiah Thomas' heroic efforts.
