Bleacher Report predicts Celtics will have the best record in the NBA image

Bleacher Report has come out with predictions for every NBA team’s record, and they have the Boston Celtics on top. They predicted the Celtics would be 56-26, with a few teams within spitting distance.

The C’s were an NBA best 68-14 last year, and won the NBA Finals, only losing three times in the playoffs. This year, it seems Bleacher Report thinks the Celtics will have a bit more trouble. 

Bleacher Report based their prediction off a couple things. One, was the fact the Celtics had no major injuries aside from Kristaps Porzingis last year. Second, was the fact that their inter-division rivals, the New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers, have gotten a lot better. 

Bleacher Report did admit the Celtics are still in a great place to repeat, citing the fact they are bringing back their championship roster, and their young guys in Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman can boost the quality of the bench. 

Even with the division rivals gaining strength, it’s difficult to believe they could beat the reigning champs. The Celtics will probably get more wins than Bleacher Report thinks, fueled by the Olympics controversy, to prove they are the best once again.
