So we’re all in agreement the Celtics are the heavy favorites to take #1 seed, win the East, and repeat yea?
I don't believe they repeat if they have to face real opponents in the playoffs, who are healthy. And if they lose this year it'll further cement that fact that they got a free ride.
Not only did they not even play a top 10 team, but the mid teams they did play were all missing their best players. It was the perfect storm, but didn't prove all that much tbh. On paper they're good, but they didn't prove anything in that run. Still a championship so who cares, but it's not like they dominated (or even played) any good teams. It was by all accounts the weakest run ever.
