No. 25 Boston Celtics
Last Season: 40-42 (Swept 4-0 by the Cavaliers in the first round)
Analysis: What the Celtics did last season down the stretch was impressive. It is difficult to do exercises like this that primarily look at what teams look like on paper and give a favorable grade to Boston. Talent wise, the Celtics do not look impressive but that has not stopped them before. The Celtics could continue to surprise people, but it is doubtful there is a playoff run in their future this season.
Prediction: 30 wins (Getty)
