In my series of blogs analyzing NBA teams, players and coaches, some of the most under-rated teams have came up as topics. Never though has an over-rated team come up, and today I will be talking about possibly the most over-rated team in the league, the Boston Celtics. For reasons such as low intensity, no real superstar, and lack of consistency, the Boston Celtics have to be named the most over-rated team in the NBA.
To begin, the Celtics play with incredibly low intensity. With players like Kevin Garnett, who think they are really intense, are sadly mistaken. Kevin Garnett is well past his prime and plays at an extremely slow pace. With his lack of speed and impact, I would not be surprised if he retired very soon.
The Boston Celtics are lacking that true star power you find on many other other contending teams. Even though Paul Pierce was once a force to be reckoned with, he doesn't have near the power he use to. Especially with up and coming star Rajon Rondo injured, the Celtics don't have a "go to" player anymore.
The Boston Celtics are a very inconsistent team. If you have been watching them play the past few seasons, the wins come in spurts, as do the losses however. The Celtics struggle to keep leads, and struggle to gain win streaks. Even though the Celtics are good enough to make the playoffs, they are looked up at by far too many teams, and I assure you, I would not bet a penny on them getting anywhere near the NBA Finals.
