Who are biggest threat to the Boston Celtics in the East?

Which Eastern Conference teams could stand in the Boston Celtics way?

The Boston Celtics will be defending their NBA championship in the upcoming season. Multiple teams in the Eastern Conference have made offseason moves to improve their rosters and potentially close the gap on Joe Mazzulla’s team. Boston will face a difficult path back to the NBA Finals next season.

Suddenly, there are four or five teams that could emerge as a threat to the Celtics during the 2025 playoffs. However, each team has some legitimate question marks hanging over their heads. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers’ addition of Paul George makes them an elite roster, yet their ability to stay healthy will be the ultimate test of their championship credentials.

In a recent episode of “The Celtics Chronicle” podcast, the hosts break down the top five teams in the East before exploring the strengths and weaknesses of each team.
