The NBA's 82-game regular season can be a grind, but the Boston Celtics made most of the 2023-24 campaign look easy. Before the C's enter the grueling NBA Playoffs, let's grade the regular season and the individual performances of some of the team's most important players.

The Celtics crafted one of the most dominant offenses in NBA history, and the first hint of this imminent onslaught arrived in just the fourth game of the season, Nov. 1 against the Pacers. The Celtics roared to a 155-104 win, scoring the second-most points in franchise history and the most since 1958-59, when Bill Russell and Bob Cousy led the way. The Celtics led the Heat by 7 points with just under four minutes left in their TD Garden opener Oct. 27 when Miami star Jimmy Butler came up with a steal and raced toward the hoop on a fast break.

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce once said he had a clutch gene. Knicks star Jalen Brunson, a premier crunch-time performer in his own right, agrees performing under pressure can be in someone's DNA. “I think that it's something that's — it's a thing, for sure,” Brunson said after Knicks practice in Tarrytown on Friday. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was an assistant on the Celtics staff while Pierce was a star in Boston.

The Eastern Conference still looks to be the Celtics' for the taking as the postseason begins in earnest, but is there value in either of the two teams directly below them on oddsboards? The Celtics are lapping the entire Eastern Conference playoff field by a wide margin, and outside of the Nuggets, they don't have a serious threat odds-wise for NBA Finals Winner futures, either. Boston has come tantalizingly close to the ultimate prize on multiple occasions in recent seasons, and barring injury, this clearly feels like the year they get over the hump.

Forward Jayson Tatum said it was notable that the 2008 Celtics were pushed to Game 7 in both the first and second rounds. Of course, this is not an unfamiliar challenge for this Celtics core that has played in four Game 7s over the last two seasons. “It's not always going to go maybe how we expected or wanted it to go, but we've got to be ready for it,” Tatum said. The Celtics have time this week to consider these things because they will not know their first-round opponent until late Friday night, after the loser of the Heat/76ers play-in game faces the winner of the Bulls/Hawks play-in game.
