[ASFN Admin]

The formidable Boston Celtics are still a top-five team in the NBA's Eastern Conference for the coming 2026-27 regular season. Or at least that is the point of view of the folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel's "Celtics Talk" podcast, who put together a clip taking a closer look at where they think this team will end up by the end of their next regular season campaign.

Is this cope in the wake of the trade of star forward Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and draft picks? Or is there a realistic argument to be made that Boston is a home court ball club in the 2026 NBA Playoffs – or very close to it?

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what hosts Chris Forsberg and Tom Giles had to say about the Celtics' place in the order of the East next season.
