These are the five reasons that the Boston Celtics can make a surprise run and win the NBA Finals.
The Boston Celtics have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season under head coach Brad Stevens. With tremendous roster building and asset collection, the Celtics are on the cusp of becoming a contender in the Eastern Conference for many years to come.
However, as the Celtics have shown this year, they aren’t waiting around to become contenders and feel that they already are. With the NBA Playoffs beginning, the Celtics genuinely feel that they can win the Eastern Conference and have a chance at competing at the NBA Finals.
While they might seem like a long shot to some, the Celtics have shown this year that they can beat the best teams in the league with their defense and that they can hang in any game. With the way that they play, the Celtics are never out of it and that’s what makes them the most dangerous team in the NBA Playoffs this year.
