We all know the 2018 Boston Celtics season didn’t really go as planned. Gordon Hayward went down after playing a little more than five minutes. Kyrie Irving was shut down in mid-March. Daniel Theis was ruled out for the year shortly after. Marcus Smart missed over thirty games. A season that started with so much promise was scuttled before it really got off the ground.
But a funny thing happened along the way. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum blossomed. Terry Rozier excelled as a starter. Al Horford turned in a terrific all-around season.
