As far as the Celts go, I think they've hit some predictable struggles midway through the season after starting hot.
I'm not worried.
Not only are my expectations relatively low for this season given how young the team is and the fact that they lost Hayward in Game 1, but with the Warriors at full strength they aren't winning a title anyway.
It would be sweet to beat LeBron, though.
When the playoffs roll around the Celts will be able to shorten their rotation. Kyrie, Brown, Tatum, Horford as the core guys with Smart, Rozier, Monroe, and maybe Morris or Theis rounding out the bench.
With that in mind, I think the Celts will have as much of a chance as any team in the East to make the Finals, but at the same time I don't think they'll have any easy time with any opponent.
