The Boston Celtics are terrifying to their opponents again
The Boston Celtics are terrifying to their opponents again. Or at least that is the point of view of the folks behind the "Backyard Buckets" YouTube channel, who put together a clip taking a closer look at the bounce back of Boston in what was supposed to be a 'gap year' according to many a fan and analyst. Instead of mailing it in for a season, the Celtics have rebuilt themselves into a contender again against all odds.
We say against all odds because Boston lost star forward Jayson Tatum to an Achilles tendon injury in the 2025 NBA East semis, then lost Al Horford, Jrue Holiday, Luke Kornet, and Kristaps Porzingis via trades or free agency this past offseason. How did the Celtics thread this impossible needle? Jaylen Brown, a new supporting cast, and the return of Tatum from injury, to start.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about why Boston is defying expectations once again. Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Blue Wire: https://tiny. ee/CdKp iTunes: https://tiny.
