Throughout the 2019-20 campaign, the shamrocks constantly proved to be one of the best teams the association has to offer. With a record of 43-21, Boston currently holds the third-seed in the Eastern Conference, the fifth seed in the entire league, and, subsequently, rank fifth in NBA.com’s most recent power rankings.

From their impressive record to their menacing core-group of ballers — Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward, and Marcus Smart — there’s no wonder as to why fans and analysts alike believe a deep postseason run is likely on the horizon for the Celtics.
