The power of experience can only be gauged when the postseason arrives, but what seems evident is that the Boston Celtics have great confidence in their abilities and are coasting through the regular season, aware that when the peak moment comes, they have competitive advantages that others do not possess.
There is no urgency or pressure, they know each other perfectly, and no matter how strong the competition is, they know that having won a ring together gives them vital intangibles to face the playoffs. Firmly holding onto the second spot, without the need to push themselves in the remaining part of the year, able to give rest to their key players and trusting to arrive injury-free, the Boston Celtics step on the gas when needed. While losing at home to the Cavs hurt, the absence of two starters may explain that misstep, which has been corrected masterfully against the Denver Nuggets.
If something is confirming this campaign, it is that Jayson Tatum is a tremendously underrated player, and his partnership with Jaylen Brown continues to gain strength. Depending on what Porzingis can do when he finds continuity, having White and Holiday on the perimeter is a guarantee of success. The Boston Celtics could be a sleeping lion waiting to unleash its jaws on prey at the last moment when everything is truly decided.
