Last season, the Boston Celtics won 53 games and captured first place in the Eastern Conference. After adding All-Star small forward Gordon Hayward this offseason, the C’s will look to build on last season’s success and be even better this year.
The Celtics’ full schedule can be viewed by clicking here.
A few games to watch:
October 17, @ Cleveland: The first game against the team that eliminated the C’s from the playoffs last season. Watch to see how this re-vamped Celtics team matches up vs. the Kings of the East. The game will air at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
November 27, vs. Detroit: This will be Avery Bradley’s first game back in the Garden. Bradley has been a huge part of the Celtics’ success over the past few seasons and was a fan favorite due to his constant hustle and two-way ability. He was also the last tie to the Rajon Rondo-Paul Pierce-Kevin Garnett era. The applause should be roaring, and the tribute video may be a tearjerker for some sentimental C’s fans. The game will air at 7:30 p.m. ET, and will not be nationally televised.
March 28, @ Utah: This will be Gordon Hayward’s first game back in Utah; the Celtics are certainly better than the Jazz, but it should be interesting to see how Jazz fans greet Hayward; will they applaud? Boo? There will probably be a mix of the two. The game will air at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
