To succeed, Stephen A. Smith stated that the Celtics must remain focused and avoid minor mistakes. He argues that they cannot afford to be “half-hazard” and must demonstrate more consistency and reliability.

Stephen A. Smith on the Celtic player that has to be fit for the C’s to win the championship
Stephen A. Smith feels that if the Boston Celtics are to win the NBA Championship, Kristaps Porzingis must be healthy. Porzingis has been out with a right soleus strain since Game 4 of their first-round series against the Miami Heat, and SAS believes the Celtics will be unable to upset the Western Conference winner without him.
