After going .500 and going out in the first round, there is not much more the Boston Celtics can do to be any worse than they were last season. With some roster changes, coaching changes, and scheme changes, the Cs will be right back to where they left off after the bubble: at the top of the Eastern Conference competing for banner #18.
Brad Stevens and Celtics management will undoubtedly make more moves, but it is unlikely most of the Celtics’ top young players get dealt this off-season due to their contract value.
