Some people had written off the Boston Celtics earlier this season.
Others had even said that the team should break apart the team’s two leaders, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
However, those people have surely changed their tunes now that the Celtics are becoming one of the most fearsome teams in the East.
As for Brown and Tatum, they are really working well together once again.

Brown and Tatum have now become the second pair of Celtics teammates to each score more than 30 points in back-to-back games.
The first pair to achieve this?
Larry Bird and Kevin McHale back in 1988.
That means that Brown and Tatum are in some very good, legendary company.
Do these two have what it takes to find significant success in the postseason?
The Dynamic Duo
Earlier this season, the Celtics were having some trouble finding their footing in a very crowded, difficult Eastern Conference.
They have turned things around over the last couple of months and have slowly but surely worked their way up the rankings.
Currently, Boston sits as the fourth seed and is right behind the Philadelphia 76ers.
They have won their last three in a row and there are many who believe they could take the third – or even the second – seed before the regular season concludes.
However, others are fearful of injuries sneaking up on the Celtics in the next few weeks.
They are also afraid that the team’s old bad habits could make themselves known as they attempt to make their first lengthy playoff run in years.
But, as of now, there is no reason to not believe the Celtics are the real deal.
