The Boston Celtics' season hasn't gone as smooth as everyone thought it would, but nevertheless, Celtics guard Terry Rozier says everyone on the roster is “blessed.”
The Celtics enter Saturday with a record of 43-29 on the season, which is good for fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Boston was the preseason favorite to win the East, but for whatever reason, the team has been inconsistent all season.
Despite the team's up and down play, Rozier says no one on Boston is taking playing in the playoffs for granted.
Terry Rozier with a unique perspective: "Everybody that wears this #Celtics uniform is blessed. We got an opportunity to play in the playoffs. A lot of guys have been in the league for a while can’t even say they played in the playoffs. They don’t have a chance to compete."

The Celtics were one game away from advancing to the NBA Finals last season. They lost to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals at home.
With Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward back healthy this season, many surmised Boston would coast through the East in 2018-19. While there have been some nights where the Celtics have looked elite, there have been too many games where Boston has looked disjointed on both ends of the floor.
Rozier, though, is putting things in perspective. Only 16 teams in the NBA make the playoffs and get a chance to compete for a championship. Boston is going to be one of those teams this season.
