It was a tough loss for the Toronto Raptors in Boston. And the Celtics are worrisome.
Don’t care what their record is. Don’t care about rumoured internal squabbling, leadership issues or Jason Tatum’s struggles. This team is concerning. Especially when it comes April and May. Because the Celtics will be fine.
Boston fans have reason to feel optimistic. They are exceptionally well coached. They have the ability, when healthy, to be an extremely tough defensive team and they have Gordon Hayward flourishing off the bench scoring nearly 12 points per game, shooting a respectable 45% from the field.
