The Boston Celtics’ recent success on their annual West Coast swing has not only solidified the Celtics’ position as a force to be reckoned with in the league this season but has also ignited conversations about their position among championship contenders after a bit of slippage early in the season.
The team’s recent string of victories against formidable opponents like the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers offset a stumble vs. the Golden State Warriors at the start of the road trip, the team’s sole loss since a long December home stand. The road trip provided an excellent barometer for just how good this Celtics team is.
Their stingy defense, wealth of offensive talent, and championship poise make this Boston team a frontrunner to win it all.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!/ Talkin’ Cs” podcast weighed in on the road trip and what it means in a season-long context with plenty of focus on the Christmas Day win over the Lakers. Check it out above!
