Conventional wisdom says Philly and Toronto are the biggest challenges for the Celtics this year and both seasons will likely hinge on the outcome of a similar question: Is Kawhi ok physically and mentally? It Fultz ok physically and mentally?
If Fultz is a star, Philly is a team to worry about but if he's less than that, I don't think Philly is any better than the team the C's beat in 5 last year.
Toronto's season will depend on how much better Kawhi is than Derozan and whether or not he can bring some winning leadership over from the Spurs. I think Toronto's season working out if more likely than Philly's so I'm more afraid of them.
Milwaukee is a darkhorse if Coach Bud gets everyone playing up a level.
