Boston Celtics look to build on last season's success in 2026

The Boston Celtics are preparing for the upcoming NBA season after finishing second in the Eastern Conference last year. Following significant roster changes, including the trade of Jaylen Brown, the team has bolstered its lineup. Key additions include Mitchell Robinson, who strengthens the frontcourt's rebounding, and Paul George, who complements Jayson Tatum in scoring and defense. Mike Conley's experience is expected to fill the leadership gap left by Al Horford. Analysts are debating whether the Celtics can exceed expectations once again as they enter a competitive Eastern Conference.
