The Boston Celtics have a lot of questions to answer in 2023-24

Will Brown live up to the dollar value of his new deal with Boston? Can the Celtics succeed without Smart there to help clean up the team’s defensive lapses? Can Porzingis stay healthy, especially if the Celtics are deep into the postseason?

In the wake of the departure of veteran Boston Celtics floor general Marcus Smart, the Celtics have a fair number of questions surrounding the team heading into the NBA’s 2023-24 season.

Will All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown live up to the dollar value of his new supermax contract extension with Boston? Can the Celtics succeed without Smart there to help clean up the team’s defensive lapses? Can star big man Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy, especially if the Celtics are deep into the postseason? What about the rest of the team’s relatively rickety frontcourt rotation?

The hosts of the “Coast To Coast” NBA podcast recently talked it over and what we might expect out of Boston in the season ahead.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
