A Raptors-Celtics rivalry will be fun to watch

With LeBron James heading to the western conference to join the Lakers, the Eastern Conference will now be fun to watch. Fans were used to seeing LeBron destroying the hopes of teams and making it to the finals, eight consecutive times.

This season, the story will be different. With the Boston Celtics at full strength heading into the season and the Toronto Raptors adding the former Defensive player of the Year and finals MVP Kawhi Leonard to their team, this could form an intense rivalry between the two teams to be the top team in the east.
