Here’s why Celtics are a contender and could surprise everyone (read if you want) 


Celtics have a top 5 Deffense with Marcus Smart, we do lack a wing deffender tho. But Celtics are also 3rd best in nba when it comes to points allowed... that’s better then the Clippers, Bucks, Heat, Jazz, and Nuggets...
In the 2 games Celtics and bucks have played each other, the Celtics have made it close game and even won one of the games and held Giannis to only 22 which is actually kinda good. The 2nd game we lost by 5 points but was still close one
Same for the Raptors, it’s 1-1 between us and oddly enough we both won by exactly 16 points. But I don’t see siakam leading that team to a finals... they are good tho don’t get me wrong.
People are saying the Celtics aren’t on the elite level yet, but in 2 games we played against one of the best teams (Clippers) we took both games to OT and won one of them
On top of the Deffense there’s only one team in the nba that can say they have 3 players averaging 20 a game... that’s the Celtics with Tatum brown and kemba... According to Power Rankings we have top 5 offense in the league... Don’t Sleep on this team
