Unlike last June, the Celtics won’t enter the offseason wiping confetti and champagne off their championship merch as they ride duck boats through the streets of Boston.
Instead, the Celtics and president of basketball operations Brad Stevens will have to work to find a way to get the organization back on a championship stage again this offseason. Their 2024-25 season came to a disappointing end Friday night, when they were blown out by the Knicks in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series.
Boston’s hopes of repeating might have ended four days before that, though.
