WATCH: Are we overrating the Boston Celtics’ as a true NBA championship contender?

Or is the hype train justified?

After suffering through a season and a half of consistent disappointment, we all should be patient with fans of the Boston Celtics for getting excited over a change of fortune for their favorite team in recent weeks.

But are they getting a little too far ahead of themselves with just how highly they rate their players and their team? It is by all accounts a vastly superior version of the team that started the 2021-22 NBA season under new head coach Ime Udoka, but is it fair to say they have a real shot at hanging Banner 18 this season?

On a recent episode of the NBC Sports Boston show “Boston Sports Tonight,” Chris Gasper joins Mike Felger and Michael Holley to chew the proverbial fat on what exactly reasonable expectations for this team really are.

Check out the clip embedded above to see if any of these three reflect your line of thinking about the Celtics’ postseason chances.
