Boston Celtics' title or bust season

The Boston Celtics are coming fresh off a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals where they lost to the Miami Heat. The team has new additional pieces, which, in theory, fit better than the complimentary pieces they had last season.

They added veteran guard Jrue Holiday and skilled big man Kristaps Porzingis to the squad. Holiday will help fill the shoes of defensive specialist Marcus Smart whom the Celtics let go. The team also moved on from Grant Williams and Robert Williams III.

The Boston Celtics are one of the top teams in the league on paper, perhaps the best, but they have to prove it on the basketball court. It's a championship or bust season after all the moves they've made and their underrated success last year.
