Celtics Talk Radio Episode 308 Celtics are 5th in the East 4.5 Game out of 1st

Could the Boston Celtics actually end up with the #1 spot in the Eastern Conference for the NBA Playoffs this season? Yes ladies an gentleman a question that not even the most positive minded fans would have thought to ask themselves might now have to start being questioned. The Celtics thanks to a dominant month of February where they won 11 of 13 games the Celtics went from being a team that was fighting just to earn the right to be in the Wild Card Pay In Tournament games. To now being just 4.5 games behind the Miami Heat for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference and just 2 games behind the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers for the #2 and #3 seeds and just 1 game back of the Milwaukee Bucks for the #4 seed. The Celtics will have a chance to make up a ton of ground in the coming week if they can win their next 2 games which will feature them facing the Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets as all 4 teams in front of them will either be facing each other or some of the other top NBA Teams meaning they could lose while the Celtics are on their days off meaning the Celtics gain ground without doing any work. Sundays game with the Nets is the big game as the Celtics will face the Nets with both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving it is still questionable if Ben Simmons will play. This is the final time these 2 teams will meet during the regular season and we have yet to see these 2 teams play each other at full strength. So a win here for the Celtics if both teams are health would be huge for fans to have confidence going into the playoffs. The Celtics Talk Crew will be joined by Rich Conte OF TechLifePod will be with us as we look at the Celtics recent hot streak and discuss what should be the expectations now for this team especially if they do get that #1 seed?
