According to the wise basketball minds at ESPN, the Boston Celtics are looking like the 2023 NBA Finals favorites many expected not so long after a fair amount of doubt swirled around a team that suspended its head coach. And not just any coach, but one who guided the team within two victories of an NBA title in the 2022 NBA Finals just months earlier.
