During Boston’s six-games-in-nine-nights stretch to open December plus the last two during this NBA Cup hiatus, the Celtics have seemingly righted the ship. Last week, CelticsBlog’s Jacob Issenberg compared the team’s progress to last year’s championship run at the 25-game mark. Considering the missed games of their top-6 and a higher level of execution in the clutch, Jake concluded that despite their identical records, this year’s squad has been better with all signs pointing to an even more dominating 82-game run.
Congrats to the Milwaukee Bucks on their in-season tournament crown, but here come the Celtics.
