2018 Boston Celtics Roster and Stats
Beyond the Win-Loss Record
While their 55-27 record earned them second place in the NBA Eastern Conference, the 2018 Boston Celtics faced a disappointing end to their season. They were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who went on to lose to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Player Performances
Despite the team's overall success, several players struggled to perform at their usual levels. Kyrie Irving, acquired in a trade with the Cavaliers, averaged only 24.4 points per game, down from his career average of 25.2. Al Horford also saw a decline in his production, averaging 12.9 points per game compared to his previous season average of 14.5.
However, Jayson Tatum emerged as a rising star, averaging 15.7 points per game and shooting 47.5% from the field. Marcus Morris Sr. also had a strong season, providing a consistent scoring presence with 13.9 points per game.
Overall, the 2018 Boston Celtics season was a tale of both triumphs and disappointments. While they achieved a respectable record, their playoff exit was a reminder of the challenges they still face in their pursuit of a championship.
