The Boston Celtics are a team that looks like they could use a change. Consistency is something that has evaded them this NBA season, but a lot of their issues seem to be self-inflicted.
The Celtics will come out looking like the best team in the NBA one night, dominating their opponent in the first quarter. Then, a polar opposite performance will occur in the second quarter, putting them into a hole too deep to climb out of.
Not knowing what kind of energy and effort you are going to get from quarter to quarter, let alone game to game is something that has left first-year head coach Ime Udoka searching for answers. There is talent on the Boston roster, headlined by All-Star duo Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
With those two players as the foundation, the Celtics should be in good shape. However, they have been unable to replenish the talent departure in recent seasons, leaving them a few tiers below the contenders one they believe they should be in.
