Is the current Celtics roster better than the 2024 championship team?

· Yahoo Sports

Heading into the 2025-26 NBA season, the Boston Celtics were expected to be one of the lower-tier teams in the Eastern Conference. Jayson Tatum was out with an Achilles injury, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday had been traded away, while Al Horford and Luke Kornet had been allowed to walk in free agency.

However, Joe Mazzulla and his coaching staff have overseen a sustained period of internal growth from multiple members of Boston's roster. The result has been a Cinderella-type season, with the Celtics defying all odds to emerge as one of the biggest threats in the East. Factor in Jayson Tatum's recent return to the rotation, and how quickly he's hit the ground running, and suddenly the Celtics are a scary proposition for any team.

In a recent video from the "Backyard Buckets" YouTube channel, the host noted how the current iteration of Boston's roster is arguably the best we've seen in a long time. The 2025 Celtics are gritty, defensively sound and unpredictable on offense. Furthermore, they attack all three scoring levels evenly, no longer relying solely on the perimeter to get their work done.
