“I will do everything possible so that a new Champions ‘banner’ hangs from the TD Garden ceiling“Many words – of conspiracy – ‘sacred’ for the NBA. The Garden, a title… the Boston Celtics, of course. Cedric Mawell, one of the 80’s warriors of the green team, confessed that Joe Mazzulla, current technician, told him that phrase. The best team in the league is going like a shot.

Because the Celtics only add wins. 20 of the last 22 – losses against Cleveland in the last possession and Denver -, nine in a row after adding a hard-fought victory against the Chicago Bulls (113-124).

Yes in points (26), not in percentages: 8/20 TC and 2/7 T3.

Luke Kornet took charge of the offensive rebounding operations and fought under the boards in the final minutes, and Sam Hauser established himself as another mainstay. 23 points (8/9 TC and 7/8 T3) to average 22 in the last three games. “Our strength is that every player, regardless of who comes in or goes out, is capable of playing a role. It will have to continue happening,” Mazzulla said.

What’s more, they are one defeat away from the Bucks against Oklahoma – or it could happen in the next game – to secure the victory in the Eastern Conference after that wild 57-14 (11.5 rental victories) victory/loss balance that represents them. The green machine only shows signs of being a champion team,
