Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in Boston Celtics fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts.
According to the most recent SB Nation Reacts survey, 57 percent of Celtics fans are confident the team is headed in the right direction. That’s up from 43 percent last week and 46 percent the week before.
The Celtics were without Jaylen Brown and still managed to put up a respectable fight against the Brooklyn Nets. So that might have something to do with the confidence boost.
