Would the Boston Celtics be able to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals?

Would the Boston Celtics be able to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals? To be clear, even as good as the Celtics are playing right now, they likely would not stand a chance against the Thunder in a seven-game series as currently constructed, but if star forward Jayson Tatum were able to return to action playing something like his usual self by the end of the regular season, plus whatever other talent Boston could add at the trade deadline.

Could that version of the Celtics stand a chance against OKC? What about over the next five seasons? The folks behind the “New England Sports Network” YouTube channel put together a clip from their “Hold My Banner” show, with hosts Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell digging into what the future holds for Boston in terms of their contention windows.
