2015-16 NBA Previews – Celtics The Boston Celtics were a surprise participant in last year’s playoffs. They made a quick exit but at the same time they showed that they have one of the best coaches in the league and that they might be further along in their development than expected.

A change in head coach, a few player moves and a decent selection in the draft have given this squad a puncher’s chance at a more respectable season in 2015-16, but there’s still much to be desired without a true go-to option to be found on the roster.

NBA Futures Predictions The Western Conference is certainly the tougher of the two in the NBA right now. The Cleveland Cavaliers won 53 games last season, and that was good for the second best record in the Eastern Conference.

NBA Futures Predictions It’s getting tougher and tougher to justify betting against the San Antonio Spurs in the Southwest Division. Even as the team’s stars age, and we’re all ready to finally write them off, they go out and sign the biggest free agent on the market.

NBA Futures Predictions The Atlanta Hawks caught a lot of people by surprise a year ago when they made major strides in running away with the Southeast Division in one of the finest seasons the franchise has had in recent memory.

NBA Futures Predictions The Chicago Bulls were unable to give the Cleveland Cavaliers the kind of spirited competition for top spot in the Central Division – and Eastern Conference, for that matter – that many expected last season, and one wonders if a fully healthy Bulls team would even be capable of doing as such.
