The Boston Celtics started out the season going 16-3, but have since gone 16-11, now 4.5 games behind the 1st place Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. They’re currently 3rd overall in the league, also sitting 5.5 games behind the West’s top team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. After firmly finishing as the top overall team last year with plenty of cushion, fans have been concerned and disappointed with Boston’s recent slump.
Last year’s Celtics team was one of the best in NBA history. They finished with the #1 offensive rating, not just for the season, but in the entire history of the league.
