The Boston Celtics are getting ready for what should be their most difficult game of the regular season against the Golden State Warriors. They managed to steal a victory from them early on in the season, and that has continued a recent trend.
For whatever reason, the Celtics have done phenomenally against the Warriors, and have not lost since 2016. The Celtics have had the best regular season success in the NBA against the Warriors over the last two years, but the longer this goes on, the harder it feels to continue.
The Celtics will certainly not be favorites, and losing Marcus Smart is actually a major loss on the defensive end.
