Celtics are Historically Dominant!

[tpols]

Actually Celtics haven't been good in close games. 12 out of their 16 losses are by single digits, most by 6 points or less.

If anything, their net rating looks like a team with more wins. If they closed better, they'd be pushing for 70 wins.

That doesn't bode well for the playoffs where there will inevitably be a bunch of close games.

Eh a lot of close games also come down to luck. There's no reason a team with that many good shooters would struggle to close.

Obviously any team has doubts and matchups matter a lot (Miami especially dangerous?) but if I had to put money on a team to win the title this year, it would be Boston. Their dominance isn't just ordinary. It really is historic what they've been doing.
