Boston Celtics: A Season in Review

2017-2018 Regular Season

The Celtics finished the 2017-2018 regular season with a record of 55-27, good for second place in the NBA's Eastern Conference. The team was led by All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who averaged 24.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game.

Key Players

In addition to Irving, the Celtics had several other key players who contributed to their success. These players included:

• Al Horford, center, 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists per game
• Jayson Tatum, forward, 13.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists per game
• Jaylen Brown, forward, 14.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists per game
• Marcus Smart, guard, 10.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds per game

The Celtics' success was due in large part to their depth. The team had a number of players who could contribute on both ends of the floor, and they were able to overcome injuries to key players throughout the season.

2018 Playoffs

The Celtics entered the 2018 playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They defeated the Indiana Pacers in the first round, the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round, and the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals to advance to the NBA Finals.

In the NBA Finals, the Celtics faced the Golden State Warriors, who were the defending champions. The Celtics lost the series in four games, but they showed that they were a legitimate contender for the NBA championship.

2018-2019 Season

The Celtics entered the 2018-2019 season with high expectations. They were considered one of the favorites to win the NBA championship, but they fell short of those expectations.

The Celtics finished the season with a record of 49-33, good for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. They were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs.

The Celtics' disappointing season was due in part to injuries to key players, including Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. The team also struggled to find consistency on both ends of the floor.

Despite their disappointing season, the Celtics remain a talented team with a bright future. They have a number of young players who are still developing, and they are led by a proven coach in Brad Stevens. The Celtics should be a contender for the NBA championship in the years to come.
