Last year, the squad had it bad, but this year, they’re in for a world of hurt.
The expectations have never been higher, what with the stellar regular season and impressive record.
There will be speculation about the Celtics’ coaching and players’ shortcomings if they fail to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals once more.Despite their joy at their achievement, Brown and his staff are well aware of the immense pressure that comes with it.
