Have the Boston Celtics been better in the first half of the 2022-23 NBA season than they have been credited for?
Both fans and analysts of the club have been especially hard on the Celtics when they have shown some of the bad habits that led to the Golden State Warriors beating Boston in six games in the 2022 NBA Finals.
But if you look at the standings, the Celtics are one of the league’s best teams. They have been at the top of the standings for virtually the entire season under interim head coach Joe Mazzulla.
Are we being too hard on this team? On a recent episode of his “Forsberg’s Four” segment for NBC Sports Boston, Chris Forsberg breaks down just how good the Celtics have been in the first half of this season.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear the NBC Sports Boston’s host make the case for how good the Celtics have been.
