9. Boston Celtics

This season has been filled with locker room problems and turmoil for the Boston Celtics. They have struggled to gel as a unit and have been even worse at keeping their issues with each other hidden. Still, the Celtics are still feared by most of the league.

This is because even with all of their potential locker room beef’s, the Celtics still have a loaded roster. Led by Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, Boston has a flurry of talented role players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris.

The team has struggled at certain points in the season. But, for every valley they experienced, they also went through an equally great peak. It has been a roller coaster season for Boston, but it’s hard to say that they haven’t been successful.

While they continue to work through whatever is holding them back, the rest of the NBA should be waiting nervously. Because, if this team ever figures it out (which I think they will), the Celtics will undoubtedly skyrocket up this ranking.
