yeah this is where they get overrated

like yeah they've made playoff runs in the East over the last 15 years so it's not like they're outright terrible but the East has been bad for most of that time and they haven't been as good as people think they are or projected them to be most seasons since their last Finals appearance

when you have to resort to "#2 all-time franchise" instead of their actual recent history you're also kind of proving my point

I'm confused if you're saying they are overrated in terms of prestige or that their recent squads have been overrated. Because aside from this year I feel like the last time non-Celtics fans took them seriously as contenders was like 2010

Edit: Other than about 5 minutes in 2017 before Hayward got hurt. But we'll never know if they were overrated or not!
