As for the Celtics, they are coming off making the NBA Finals this past season.
They were the second seed in the Eastern Conference, and swept Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs.
After the Nets, they won back-to-back Game 7's over both the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat in the next two rounds.
In the Finals, they won Game 1 on the road in San Francisco against the Golden State Warriors.
However, they went just 1-4 the rest of the series, and the Warriors won the title in six games.
That was the fourth time in the last eight seasons that Steph Curry and the Warriors have won the NBA Championship.
