Looking At Boston

Since winning the 2024 NBA Championship, the Celtics have been unable to return to the Eastern Conference finals.
They are coming off a year where they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2026 NBA playoffs.
That said, the Celtics still have one of the elite rosters in the NBA.
