The Boston Celtics enter the 2025 NBA season with one goal: to win the championship. After falling short in recent playoff runs, the franchise doubles down on experience, depth, and defense. With Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown still leading the charge and a front office unafraid to make moves, Boston is once again a title favorite.
To reach that goal, they’ll need to do what they haven’t in over a decade: outlast the best teams in the Western Conference. The West remains loaded with firepower. Denver, Oklahoma City, and Minnesota each bring their brand of elite basketball.
