The Boston Celtics have recently defeated the Brooklyn Nets, and this was certainly an inspiring team by the franchise. Star forward Jayson Tatum put up a 54 point performance.
Despite a slow start to the season, the Boston Celtics are currently the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference and have gone 22-8 during 2022. Kevin O’Connor has recently claimed that the Celtics are “contenders to make the NBA Finals, and told everyone to “forget about how Boston’s season started”.
I can't recall a team that went from so unwatchable to so great in a single season. Can you?
We've seen older teams coast and younger teams get off to slow starts. But win or loss, the early season Celtics just played straight ugly basketball. Now one of the best teams to watch. https://t.co/7Q17PCu7DV

The Celtics are contenders to make the NBA Finals.
Udoka found a rotation that works. Tatum and Brown are blossoming. 22-8 in 2022 with a top 10 offense and by far the #1 defense.
Forget about how Boston’s season started, this is a different team and should be taken seriously.

The Boston Celtics definitely made some changes that have helped their squad. Notably, they traded for guard Derrick White, and he has given them another ballhandler to shore up their bench unit.
There is no question that the Boston Celtics are a young, talented team. They have two elite stars in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and they are both forwards that provide a two-way impact. There have been some suggestions that the Boston Celtics could separate them in the past: however, it is clear that the Boston Celtics have figured out a way for the two to coexist.
It remains to be seen how far the Boston Celtics will end up going in the postseason. They are definitely a rising young squad, and their talent level suggests that they could be a dangerous squad to face for any team in the playoffs.
