Boston Celtics are one of the teams with a lot to play for in the Orlando bubble. The team was going to be dangerous in the Eastern Conference, but not many understood how dangerous. The Celtics’ depth with guards and wing players have enabled them to sit with the third seed in the East right now. While most of the love is being given to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Celtics have a real chance of giving them a run for their money.

Superstar forward Jayson Tatum realizes the amount that is at stake for his team. Despite the dangers of leaving despite a young son at home, Tatum is in Orlando. He is the de facto on-court leader for the team if Kemba Walker is having a slow game. With Walker dealing with nagging injuries, Tatum came into his own and developed into an all-star player. Even if he is away from home, he wants his son to feel his presence. Tatum video calls his son every night just to read him bedtime stories. Yes, Tatum brought a whole bunch of children’s books to the bubble just so he can read them to his son.

Boston Celtics look to surprise everyone in the bubble

Celtics are pegged as one of the few teams with a shot at the championship. They are dark horses behind teams like the Clippers, Bucks, and Lakers. Some even put the Toronto Raptors ahead of them. But this team’s young core and how they’ve meshed together has been a pleasant surprise. Who is to say the surprise isn’t going to continue in the bubble?

Celtics have a deep squad with Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, and Jayson Tatum as their main players. Backup centers like Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter perform their role when needed. This has led to a well-rounded and talented team. They have multiple players that are 20-point threats, which works well when one of your stars is having a cold night. However, the team lacks playoff experience outside Tatum, who made it to the Eastern Conference Finals as a rookie.

They are bound to struggle against the size of the Bucks and the 76ers but do stand just as likely to pull off magnificent upsets over them.
