They didn’t put a tri-monster on the floor like James/Irving/Love for the Cavaliers or Curry/Durant/Thompson for the Warriors. Still, the Boston Celtics, behind the magnificent work of guard Isaiah Thomas and Head Coach Brad Stevens, put together a remarkable season. The fact they actually secured the top-seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs is something that shouldn’t be lost on the rest of the league. It was hard to imagine the Celts were going to beat the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals, but the team made a strong showing all the way up to the point Thomas went down with a devastating injury.
