Tales from CelticsBlog Slack: a staff conversation about expectations for next season

What are your expectations for the upcoming year and how have previous seasons shaped those expectations?

Jeff Clark: This team has been a bit of a rollercoaster in the last few years. On the macro level, they were overachievers for years, then massively underachieved last year. So I guess this year I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll meet the general muted expectations that have them hovering at around 48-49 wins. I’m optimistic about Tatum, Brown, and even Hayward taking steps forward, but the defense concerns me.

Bobby Manning: If Team USA taught me anything so far, Kemba will be phenomenal.
