The Boston Celtics have demonstrated their prowess this season with key victories against elite teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers. Their performance has solidified them as a formidable contender in the NBA's 2024-25 regular season. However, challenges persist, particularly with the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have consistently troubled them, highlighting areas for improvement.

In a recent discussion, analysts Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King from CLNS Media's "Still Poddable" podcast evaluated the Celtics' journey thus far. While Boston's ability to compete against top-tier teams is commendable, the potential absence of the Thunder in the playoffs could work in their favor. With the postseason approaching, the Celtics are positioned to further capitalize on their strengths and refine their gameplay against their rivals.
