The 5 toughest games the Portland Trail Blazers have left
By Ty Delbridge
3. Boston Celtics (March 23)
The Boston Celtics are one of the best teams in the NBA and are the second seed in the Eastern Conference. The Blazers and Celtics faced off on Super Bowl Sunday, and the Celtics walked away with a buzzer-beat win thanks to Al Horford.
That loss was a heartbreaker for the Blazers, but they will have a chance to redeem themselves at home. This time though, the Celtics will have Kyrie Irving.
The Celtics are one game back from the first-place Toronto Raptors and will be playing for the 1-seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. That makes the game against the Blazers an important one for Boston.
The game against the Celtics is in the middle of nine tough teams in a row. Portland should be used to playing high-level basketball at this point of the season and will hopefully not be too tired when it faces Boston. The Celtics will be a nice challenge for the Blazers.
