No NBA team is under more pressure than the Boston Celtics right now.
They have the best record in the league by a wide margin, as well as the most talented roster.
There’s absolutely no excuse not to make it to the NBA Finals, especially considering that Jimmy Butler is out for the Miami Heat, and either Joel Embiid or Jalen Brunson will be sent home in the first round.
That’s why Boston fan favorite and New England Patriots legend Julian Edelman is hyped about the start of the playoffs.
The legendary wideout took to Twitter to let the Celtics know that it’s officially go time, and they better take a page from the Patriots’ book to take care of business.

For years, Erik Spoelstra and the Heat have gotten the best of the Celtics, but this Celtics team is fairly superior to those of the past, even the one that made it to the NBA Finals two years ago.
Also, the Heat haven’t been as consistent lately, and not having Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier gives them an even bigger edge ahead of this matchup,
Then again, with the way the Celtics have underperformed in the postseason for years, they just can’t overlook a pesky, physical, and tough team like the Heat, especially one that’s so well-coached.
The Celtics have only won one championship since the Larry Bird days, and it’s about time they get over the hump.
There’s no more margin for error or room for excuses at this point.
