Why Are the Celtics Shockingly Underrated in the Eastern Conference?
So, here we are—once the Boston Celtics were the darlings of the Eastern Conference, the team everyone circled as the one to beat. Fast forward to the upcoming 2025-26 season, and, well, things look a little… different. NBA.com’s latest ranking slaps Boston at a shocking 12th place in the East, nudging only a handful of struggling squads like the Nets, Wizards, and Hornets behind them. It’s hard not to raise an eyebrow: how did the mighty fall so far, so fast? With Jayson Tatum sidelined for the year and key players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis heading out the door, the Celtics find themselves in an uncharted—and frankly, uncomfortable—territory. But if you ask me, this shake-up might just be the crucible Boston needs to prove that adversity isn’t the end… it’s the beginning of something fierce. Can the Celtics turn this underdog moment into a comeback story, or are we just witnessing the final act of a once-great dynasty? Stay tuned—this rollercoaster ride is just getting started.
