Sportsbook fans around the country can’t help but smile when the Boston Celtics have finally found their way back to the playoffs. With just a single day left in the online sportsbook regular season the Celtics have returned to the post-season after several years of being conspicuously absent from the playoffs. And not only that, the Celtics enter the playoffs not just as another team but as arguably the sportsbook favorite to win the whole thing.
Sportsbook followers have never witnessed such a turnaround as the one that Celtics undertook this season. The season set an NBA record with a 42-game turnaround from the previous season and wowed online sportsbook fans along the way. From day one of the betting season this team has had the best record in the NBA and it held that distinction from wire to wire, something not seen in the NBA online sportsbook world since the Jordan-led Bulls dynasty of the late 1900s. Ask any sportsbook fan out there and they’ll all tell you that no other team has been as impressive in the sportsbook action this season as the Celts.
As one of the great franchises not only in the NBA, but in all of covered sports, it’s refreshing to see the team make it back to the playoffs. Since Larry Bird departed nearly two decades ago this team has been among the worst in NBA sportsbook betting. But thanks to some blockbuster trades the Celtics have risen back to prominence in the action. With first round cake walk against the Atlanta Hawks this team has a bright future ahead in the playoffs according to most sportsbook experts.
The only real competition for the Celts on the road to the Finals, according to the sportsbooks experts, will be the Pistons, which the team will meet is both qualify for the conference final sportsbook showdown. But with the playoffs days away the sportsbook community is abuzz at the prospect that the Celtics are once again in the conversation as the sport’s best and have a legitimate shot at another NBA title.
