Was the Boston Celtics' 2024-25 season a failure?
Was the Boston Celtics' 2024-25 season a failure? As far as the 2024-25 NBA regular season goes, it is hard to look at a 60+ win season after hanging a banner as anything even close to a flop. But in the City of Boston, they do not care much about regular season win totals with the history of the storied ball club in the postseason being what it is, nor should they.
An early exit from the postseason in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs certainly does not feel like much of an accomplishment, but with a new champion every year for the last seven, including this one with the vast majority going out in the second round adds some important context. Or does it?

Scottie Scheffler Drops Unexpected Pick While Predicting 2025 NBA Finals
Scottie Scheffler Drops Unexpected Pick While Predicting 2025 NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. American professional golfer Scottie Scheffler is one of the most successful names to attend the University of Texas. Advertisement Scheffler spent four seasons competing on Texas' golf team, where he helped the Longhorns to three Big 12 championship wins and three NCAA championship final appearances. He also took home the 2015 Phil Michelson Freshman of the Year award in 2015. What he's accomplished following his collegiate career is even more impressive. Scheffler is currently sitting at No. 1 in the official world golf ranking. Some of his highest achievements include PGA Tour titles, two Masters Tournament wins and a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Scottie Scheffler poses for a photo with the Wanamaker Trophy after winning the PGA Championship golf tournament at Quail Dedmon-Imagn Images On Friday, Scheffler made headlines by discussing a different sport. He spoke with Dallas Morning News about the upcoming 2025 NBA Finals and showed dedication to his hometown team. Advertisement The Texas native was asked to give his NBA Finals prediction and confidently picked the Dallas Mavericks. Although the Mavericks did not reach the postseason, Scheffler felt the need to stress the importance of receiving the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. His unwavering support to the Mavericks is shocking to some as many fans are still upset with the Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Scheffler is instead choosing to find the silver lining. The Mavericks are expected to select Duke star Cooper Flagg with the top pick in the draft. Related: Can Tre Johnson be the answer for Charlotte Hornets in 2025 NBA Draft?

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Sherman Douglas (1992-95)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Sherman Douglas (1992-95) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the 18th of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston guard alum Sherman Douglas. After ending his college career at Syracuse, Douglas was picked up with the 28th overall selection of the 1989 NBA draft by the Miami Heat. The Washington, District of Columbia native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with the heat, coming to an end when he was dealt to Boston in 1992. His stay with the team would span parts of five seasons, ending when he was dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks in 1995. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Douglas wore only jersey Nos. 4 and 20 and put up 11.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
