Except for the upcoming schedule release, August is a slow month for NBA news – but that makes this the best time to consider topics such as: where do the current Celtics rank in the glorious history of the franchise?
The question is almost unfair, because the rosters of the past seven seasons achieved plenty. If the Celtics were a young franchise such as Toronto or Memphis, then teams in the Brad Stevens era would be at or near the top of the historical pecking order. Not in Boston, though.
