Done with the month of April, we are now officially closer to the end of the 2020-21 NBA season than we are to the start of the previous month, with the Boston Celtics’ slate of regular season games ending on May 16 against the New York Knicks.
It was a tough month with some flashes of brilliance for the Celtics, with a fair amount of winnable losses punctuated by injuries, illnesses and historic greatness. While even now, with the playoffs almost upon us, it is almost impossible to predict what version of Boston we will see in the postseason, we can assign some grades for the play we saw in April.
So with that in mind, let’s get to grading in our penultimate player progress report of the season.
