Team Prediction

Record: 54-28

  • This season will be one to remember, with the Celtics having the complete package now with acquiring a “big man” in C Al Horford the possibilities are endless with this team.

Atlantic Division: 1st

  • It’s going to be a battle to the end with the Toronto Raptors, but at the end of the day I think the C’s will cease their opportunity and win the Atlantic Division for the first time since the big three.

Eastern Conference: 2nd

  • As much as I think the Celtics are going to break out this year, it’s the Cleveland Cavaliers world in the Eastern Conference, and every other team is kind of just living in it.

Playoff Result: Lose in 2nd Round Series

  • Winning a playoff series for this team would be a huge confidence booster for years to come, it all depends on who they play and if they get home court. Even if they go into the ECF with the Cavaliers I could see the Celtics making it at least a six game series.
