#3. Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics pushed LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers to the limit last playoffs. The Celtics were one win away from the NBA Finals and they were doing it without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, who out due to injuries.
Many people expected the Celtics to be the best team in the Eastern Conference this season but their offense has been subpar despite having a complete and healthy roster. The re-introduction of Irving and Hayward in the rotation has affected Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who were the main focal point of the offense in the playoffs.
The Celtics are too good to not be in the top four in the East and they still have time to make it work. Brad Stevens is one of the best coaches in the NBA today and he can use their disappointing start as motivation, which seems to be lacking from the Celtics.
