The Boston Celtics currently lead the NBA with a 13-4 record. They have looked like serious contenders throughout the first month of the new season and will be a serious force moving forward. However, recently, we’ve begun to see some cracks start to form. A significant part of those cracks is due to injury-forced absences, which has begun to shine a light on Boston’s lack of depth.
However, according to Jeff Goodman and Bob Ryan, who were speaking on a recent episode of their podcast for CLNS Media, a health Celtics team will be hard to slow down. Primarily due to their high-level top-6 rotation, and the improvements we’ve seen from Sam Hauser.
Of course, the back end of Boston’s rotation isn’t awful either. It’s just there’s a legitimate talent drop-off from 9-to-15. That’s to be expected when you have six players who could make an argument for being an All-Star selection in most seasons, though.
