The Celtics, once Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles, were forced into a mini-rebuild
and shut down the current championship window. Key players offloaded this offseason include Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, and Al Horford. Safe to say, the massive turnover of personnel has affected the flow of the team.
Boston is currently 1-3 to start the season, often looking like they are attempting to implement their bombs away offensive style, but floundering. So far, they have two narrow losses to the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons, while also getting run off the floor by the New York Knicks. Having won on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans, maybe they have found a formula that they will carry into the game against Cleveland.
The Cavaliers are also coming off their most impressive win of the season against Detroit. A game in which they played a complete game on both ends, and appear to be putting some things together.
With the Celtics lacking an identity currently, this could be another opportunity for the Cavaliers to gain more momentum and keep experimenting with rotations and schemes. The Celtics have a few more talented on-ball players (Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Anfernee Simons) than Detroit, but they are currently lacking quality depth pieces, something the Cavaliers are currently showcasing without Darius Garland and Max Strus.
