As Bill Belichick likes to say “You are what your record says you are”. The Boston Celtics are currently 25-17 and fifth in the Eastern Conference. In the multitude of truths he dropped following the Celtics loss to the Orlando Magic, Kyrie Irving said “I’m not happy with being fifth. That’s what I’m focused on.”
To go back to Belichick, this is what Boston is. Right now. The season is far from over. The Celtics just entered the second half of their regular season schedule. The first half didn’t go the way anyone wanted or how anyone expected.
