Roughly two months ago, the Celtics returned to the pinnacle of the basketball world. Roughly two months from now, they’ll begin their quest to stay atop the mountain.
No team has repeated since the Warriors in 2017-18. It’s not easy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. This Celtics team is more equipped than most, given its talent, chemistry and balance. Only time will tell.
It’s a long journey before the playoffs, and it starts in October. The Celtics revealed their regular-season schedule Thursday, and there are many intriguing games on the horizon.
