While it might not be such an easy path if the Boston Celtics do not have some luck in terms of health heading into the 2022 NBA Playoffs, it seems the national media is finally starting to believe in what the Celtics are capable of in the postseason.
ESPN’s Tim Legler is one such believer, who now thinks that Boston has a real chance of ending up in the 2022 NBA Finals if everything breaks right for them. With (hopefully) minor but persistent injuries starting to pile up, there is plenty of opportunity for things to go sideways on what has been a shockingly good in-season turnaround, but there’s also a path to compete for Banner 18 ahead of schedule.
Check out the clip embedded below to hear Legler’s analysis of the Celtics situation — and keep those appendages crossed that Boston has no season-ending injuries on their horizon.
