Is this finally the year the Boston Celtics will finally have enough horsepower to get over the hump and be one of the most dangerous teams the Eastern Conference has seen in quite sometime?

Could this be the best team we’ve seen play on the parquet floor since the “Big Three” lost in the NBA Finals to the LA Lakers in 2010? The roster is finalized and the Boston Celtics are ready to kick off the regular season Wednesday night, they will host the Brooklyn Nets to kickoff the 2016-17 regular season at TD Garden.

They’re certainly a lot of familiar faces you will see back in green come Wednesday night, but there are a couple of new characters you will see that will instantly make a big impact for this team thanks to General Manager Danny Ainge. Celtics Coach Brad Stevens looks to build off last year, and finally get over the “First Round Jitters”, and build a better result come Spring 2017.
