Boston Celtics: The Worst #1 Seed in NBA History!!??!!
The Chicago Bulls are currently leading the Boston Celtics (2-0), and they could likely also upset the Boston Celtics. Their next games will be at the United Center in Chicago, where is so much pressure on the Boston Celtics with the roaring Chicago Bulls fans. Jimmy Butler played phenomenal in Game 1 and 2. Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade was also in the mix with Butler as well. Guys on the bench such as Bobby Portis and Paul Zipser are stepping up when they were needed. While the Bulls are obtaining success, the Boston Celtics are really struggling. They aren't making shots, playing good defense, or not even rebounding well. Isaiah Thomas is scoring 20+ points per game, but the other guys such as Al Horford, Avery Bradley, or Jae Crowder aren't playing to their full potential, even guys on the bench need to step-up. There a good chance that the Bulls could sweep the #1 Celtics. This could affect the Celtics and probably Head Coach Brad Stevens, so the whole Celtics team must show up and win if they want to keep their championship hopes alive.
Many basketball fans are intimidating that the Boston Celtics are the worst 1-seed that the NBA has ever seen. The last time an 8 seed beat a 1 seed when in 2012 when the 76ers eliminated the Bulls in 6 games. Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah suffered injuries and couldn't contribute to the Bulls in the 2012 NBA Playoffs, so that is pretty much an excuse for the Chicago Bulls. The Boston Celtics have ever player active on the roster, despite Isaiah Thomas's death of his sister. The Chicago Bulls as many believed wouldn't even make the NBA Playoffs, but luckily the Heat lost some key games and Bulls took advantage of the schedule, in which they played teams below .500 in their last 4 games. Rebounding and Scoring are the two main problems, which the Bulls actually took advantage of. The Chicago Bulls are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA in addition to signing Robin Lopez in the offseason. Jimmy Butler is playing tremendous defense on Isaiah Thomas, only holding him 20 points in Game 2 and also making Thomas force turnovers with 5. As stated earlier, In Game 4 and 5 the Celtics must step-up. It is very heartbreaking in the State of Massachusetts, thinking that this year the Celtics would very successful in the playoffs, but the Celtics didn't live up to that expectation. Isaiah Thomas status for Game 3 is unknown, so the team must prepare not having Isaiah Thomas being the x-factor for the Celtics success. The 1st Round isn't over yet, so the Celtics still have a chance. Guys must step-up, be efficient in rebounding and scoring and execute well all throughout the game.
