The Boston Celtics were dealt two brutal blows in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Not only did they lose the series and were eliminated from the playoffs, but they also saw superstar forward Jayson Tatum go down with a torn Achilles.

One thing that has been missing from the Boston Celtics ' bench rotation in recent years is athleticism. Brad Stevens has constructed a roster full of versatile talents, all capable of playing on both sides of the ball. However, outside of Jaylen Brown, no one on the roster has that "jump out of the gym" kind of bounce.

2008 — The Boston Celtics win their 17th NBA title with a stunning 131-92 blowout over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6. Kevin Garnett scores 26 points with 14 rebounds, Ray Allen scores 26 and Paul Pierce, the finals MVP, adds 17.
