While they'll qualify for the playoffs this year, the way the Celtics have been performing has been a cause of concern all season long. They house one of the talented rosters in the entire league. Apart from Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart, they also have All-Star caliber players in Al Horford and Gordon Hayward.
Not to mention they have young players in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum who are brimming with potential. And they are led by Brad Stevens, whom many say is one of the best coaches in the NBA.
For some reason, the Celtics are not clicking this year, but they still have eight games regular season games remaining to solve all the issues houding them. After all, come playoff time, it's either win or go home.
