The Boston Celtics unexpected success could lead to an NBA Finals run

There's a quiet confidence among Boston Celtics fans. A feeling that this season could go down as one of the most unexpected success stories in franchise history. Not only didn't we expect the Celtics to be this good, but we also didn't expect them to be shouldering the level of expectations that have now been bestowed upon them.

We've gone from discussing the necessity of a tanking season, to speaking of a potential championship run, all in the space of a few months. Everyone involved with the team deserves credit. There has been an unbreakable unity within this team since the season opener.

Now, with Jayson Tatum back in the rotation and playing like an All-NBA talent, Boston has all the pieces it needs to push for a spot in the NBA Finals. The "DFlowHoops" YouTube channel seems to agree with that assessment. In a recent video, the host broke down why this Celtics team is ready to contend for a championship and why the roster has been constructed with the NBA Finals in mind.

The host points toward Jaylen Brown's scoring dominance, Tatum's playmaking and rebounding, and the overall depth throughout the squad. You can watch the full breakdown by clicking on the embedded video above. Watch or listen to the "Celtics Chronicle" podcast on: YouTube: https://bit.
