As of right now, they are still a distant 2nd in the East and likely wouldn't be a top 4 team in the West.
I wouldn't be so sure. I think with Hayward and Tatum, the Celtics can contend with the Cavs now. Obviously Cleveland would still be the favorite, but it wouldn't stun me if Boston knocked off Cleveland this coming season.
It would shock me.
They got worse defensively. They weren't in the same league as the Cavs last year and I don't think they closed the gap much at all.
