Predicting where the Celtics will land in the East this year

The Boston Celtics are entering the 2025-2026 NBA season with an unimaginably diminished roster, with Jayson Tatum likely to miss the entire season. Can the "Big 3" of Payton Pritchard, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown lead them on a deep-ish playoff run? Will the general lack of talent in the East make the Celtics winners by default? We make our East predictions for the season, and outline and pros and cons of different approaches to the upcoming season. 🕒Check out last week's underrated plays vid: https://youtu.be/5qEzo5S5dvA 🎙️Subscribe to the podcast: https://bit.ly/4e5auYC 📷Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firsttothefloor18/ 🍀Watch live Celtics games with us: https://playback.tv/celticsblog ✍️Check out Spooney's work on CelticsBlog: https://bit.ly/3zotdzs 📝Check out Jake's work on CelticsBlog: https://bit.ly/3zlVVko 👕Buy our MERCH, Support the show!: https://bit.ly/fttfmerch 💚JOIN THE PATREON: https://patreon.com/firsttothefloor Learn more about your ad choices.
