With the dust settling on an unusually spectacular All-Star Weekend, the Boston Celtics will now enjoy nearly a week of R&R. It’s hard to argue they haven’t earned it. In a season with fairly low expectations, they’ve rocketed out to the fourth-best record (and third-best net rating) in the entire NBA. A few days off will afford them some time to (finally) get healthy, and while they rest, we can take a look to see what challenges lie ahead in their remaining 28 games.
Catching the historically dominant Milwaukee Bucks is most likely a pipe dream.
