Celtics Season Results in Playoff Birth

The Boston Celtics all season have been fighting and trying to push to the playoffs. At the beginning of the season they projected to be a bit unpredictable, coming off the off-season with a new coach, and players that became key assets to our team. We came into the season not looking like a contender at all. As the team played on in their season, they started to build a chemistry between them and games started turning into wins. While the team added depth to their roster, the Celtics started looking good. While not being in the playoff picture during the early season, they managed to pull out wins and made moves near the trade deadline. They acquired Isiah Thomas, who is a fanominal 6th man and came into the Celtics organization hot. Thomas led the team to victories, while managing to drop down buckets, and rack up assists. You could say the trade was a great pick up as the Celtics managed to make it into the playoffs. They not only were contending for the 8th seed, but they were able to clinch the 7th seed spot with last nights victory over the Raptors 95-93. Another great player Jae Crowder, hit the final shot to give the Celtics the lead in the final seconds of the game. Marcus Smart, who is a rookie, showed his spot on the team this year. Smart is a great scorer and defense-man. The Celtics now move to the first round of the playoffs, playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. They will have a tough battle against the star powered team, and I wish the best of luck to the team and hope they can fight their way through the playoffs.
