Are the Boston Celtics properly equipped to win the 2023 NBA Championship? While the early results have been promising, in truth, we have yet to see the Celtics’ lack of frontcourt depth be challenged by a top tier ball club, and we have not seen interim head coach Joe Mazzulla be outcoached in a tight game by an opposing head coach.
And the frontcourt issues and lack of NBA head coaching experience may not be the only weak points in the team’s on-court product. What else might be lurking, waiting to emerge at the worst possible moment, and what tools does Boston have at their disposal to try to fix it?
The hosts of the NBC Sports Boston “Brother From Another” show recently grappled with these questions and saw hosts Michael Holley and Vincent Goodwill debate whether or not the Boston Celtics should be seen as true contenders.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they have to say.
