As for the Celtics, they finished the year as the second seed in the Eastern Conference after losing in the first-round of the playoffs last season.
This season, they look like a legitimate title contender, because they swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first-round.
The Nets have two superstars in the primes of their careers in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, so the dominating series by the Celtics was very impressive.
