Heading into the 2018 NBA playoffs, the Celtics were going to be playing without their two superstars, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.

The Celtics had a successful season, earning the number two seed in the east, but this was entirely new territory for the young team. The odds were stacked against them at the time of the year when the pressure is at its peak.

The 'Whole New Game' campaign, created by Sleek Machine Boston, played on these themes by having these players discuss the nuances the game's rules, reinforcing the idea that the game takes on a new dimension when the pressure is on.
