The Celtics have one of the best offensive players in the entire league in Kyrie Irving, and he is known for bringing his A-Game in the playoffs. Kyrie Irving has been in the playoffs thrice in his career, and the first time he made it to the postseason, he averaged almost similar figures in the playoffs as he did in the regular season, and he averaged higher on the other two occasions.

Not to forget his 40-point game against the Golden State Warriors to stave off elimination in the Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals. Irving thrives under pressure situations, and he can turn the tables just like that. This season, the 26-year-old point guard is averaging 23.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game.

Even though most of the offensive load is expected to be on Irving's shoulders and the offense is expected to run through him, with players like Gordon Hayward and Jayson Tatum on their side who can create their own shot, they definitely have the kind of offensive skills that is expected from a title contender team. The fans can definitely go ahead and have high hopes for this team.
