In case you have all forgotten, the Celtics swept Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. And they went to South Beach in Game 7 of the 2022 Eastern Conference finals and eked out a win over the top seed of the conference. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Robert Williams III are all disruptive defensive players defensively, each with the ability to switch and defend. There\u2019s also Al Horford, whose experience will come in handy in battling against the bigs of Golden State. The Celtics are talented, tested, and guided by a system that works. Taking the Celtics to win in seven games.<\/span><\/p>\n
