Pressure is nothing new to the Boston Celtics. The team had surpassed a lot of expectations with their young core of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtics have had a lot of success in recent years, yet they still have no championship to show for it.

Three-point shooting and good screens are what define the Joe Mazzulla-led Boston Celtics system.

The Boston Celtics took one of the biggest swings this offseason when they traded away longtime floor general Marcus Smart in a three-team deal that netted them Kristaps Porzingis.
