The 2024-25 NBA season should be interesting in the Eastern Conference. Boston Celtics are the defending champions, but teams like the The Philadelphia 76ersTHE The New York Knicksand the Milwaukee Bucks are still lying in wait and the Celtics will go from being the hunters to the hunted.

The Sixers, in particular, appear to pose the biggest challenge. They have gone looking Paul George in free agency while bringing in proven role players such as Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon, Caleb MartinAnd Reggie Jackson. Philadelphia also brought back Kyle Lowry And Kelly Oubre Jr. at their foundation of Joel Embiid And Tyrese Maxey.

That being said, the Celtics appear ready. In an interview with John Karalis of “Locked on Celtics” podcast and the Boston Sports JournalCeltics coach Joe Mazzulla has a message for those who want this Boston possessed:

I wish we could start tomorrow. I hope it will be ten times harder than last year. People will say the target is on our backs, but I hope it is right on our foreheads, between our eyes. I hope I can see the red dot.

Mazzulla seems to have a clear mind about the upcoming season and wants to get the Celtics back to the top of the NBA. The Sixers will have their work cut out for them in the 2024-25 season.
