Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Boston Celtics have struggled in the first half of the 2020-2021 NBA season. At 15-15, they have a .500 winning percentage from horrible losses to teams like the Pelicans, Pistons, Wizards, and Hawks. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are both having All-Star seasons, but the team as a whole is putting together many sub-par performances. What are their problems? First of all, Kemba Walker is still easing back into the rotation after a knee injury sidelined him for the first 11 games.

The two third overall picks in their respective drafts have now solidified themselves as the next dynamic duo in the East, and it’s really showing off well so far this season.  The first reason why they’ve broken out is because both of these guys have improved every single season they have been in the league.

Reading Time: 2 minutesComing off their third Eastern Conference Finals appearance in four years, many Celtics fans hoped General Manager Danny Ainge would make a move to put the storied franchise in a position to win their 18th championship. There were no significant trades or signings for the team, but the few moves they made helped fill positions that were lacking on the team.

Gordon Hayward decided to opt-out of the last year of his deal worth $34 million to sign with the Charlotte...
