Boston Celtics return to the NBA Finals

LeBron James over the years has been a thorn in the flesh for the Eastern Conference and Boston Celtics having stopped them from progressing in the playoffs in the last couple of years.
With LeBron out of the picture in the Eastern Conference, the door is wide open for the Celtics to make a run to the NBA Finals.

Besides the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers (whom the Celtics defeated in last season series) the Celtics face no form of stiff competition to stop them from making it to the NBA Finals.

With All star guard and forward in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward healthy we expect to see the Celtics back in the NBA Finals.
