Right now, the road out of the Eastern Conference goes through the Boston Celtics.
They have the best record in the league, 52-14, and are far ahead of the second-place Milwaukee Bucks.
Many believe that the Celtics have the greatest shot of making the Finals this year and that’s because they are so hard to slow down.
Talking about their “absurdity of talent,” Jason Timpf recently listed what makes the Celtics so strong.
He said Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are playing like superstars, while the rest of the roster is supporting them at every turn.
“When it’s clicking on all cylinders there’s literally nothing you can do,” Timpf said, via The Volume.
“It’s just an absurdity of talent. And when it’s clicking on all cylinders there’s literally nothing you can do”

Timpf urged any team to try and push the Celtics into their worst tendencies and just hope that they start to go cold.
That isn’t the best plan but sometimes it’s the best that other teams can do.
The Celtics have spent years building and tweaking this roster to get it to the position that it’s at right now.
And there are in fact many times when they do feel impossible to stop.
But clearly, that isn’t the case since they have lost 14 times this season.
A number of teams have figured out a way to get past Boston, including the Denver Nuggets, who recently defeated them on March 7.
To make things worse for the Celtics, the Nuggets also beat them back in January.
This shows that the Celtics might be incredibly tough but not infallible.
The most troubling fact for the Celtics is that the Nuggets may have the best chance of reaching the Finals out of the West.
That means that Boston might face off against the one team that has figured out how to get the best of them.
If that happens, they will really need to figure out how to tap into their “absurdity of talent.”
