Many Eastern Conference teams were very active during the offseason this year, and despite some valuable additions to the Boston Celtics roster, I don’t think it’s enough to get them in to the playoffs. Last year, the Celtics made it in as the 7th seed after winning the final six games of the regular season. In fact, the six game streak put them just one game away from overtaking the Milwaukee Bucks for the 6th seed.
Most Celtics fans will remember the weeks leading up to the playoffs were a race for the final two spots between the Celtics, the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Hornets, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Indiana Pacers.
