With the Cavs win...

[mr. dee]

Celtics now have the most conference finals trip in the NBA in the 21st century. Yes, more than the dynasties of Heat, Warriors, Spurs and even Lakers

Celtics - 10 (2002, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024)
Spurs - 9 (2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017)
Lakers - 9 (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2020, 2023)
Heat - 9 (2005, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2020, 2022, 2023)
Cavs - 6 (2007, 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018)
Warriors - 6 (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022)

Celtics is also the most consistent franchise with playoff appearances only next to Mavs and Spurs, missing only 5 post seasons in 24 years.

Mavs - 5 (2000, 2017, 2013, 2018, 2019)
Spurs -5 (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024)
Celtics -5 (2000, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2014)
Heat - 6 (2002, 2003, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2019)
Lakers - 8 (2005, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022)
Pacers - 8 (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2021, 2022, 2023)
Nuggets - 9 (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018)

I'll take the Spurs 4 titles to the Celtics 1. 

[SparzWizard]

Now if we can just only shut those LAL fans up clamoring over their dominant 90s and 00s by Celtics being dominant in the 20s.

We want multiple titles!!

18 over 17 would be nice

[Donoghus]

The titles aren't quite there  yet but this stretch post New Three era has been a very solid rebuild.  One last hurdle to go.

Progress > Process

I don’t know how to think about this, all the other top teams either build a dynasty or won multiple championships, yet we only come away with one. I just heard on tv that of all teams that went in to conference finals 6 times in 8 years, this team is the only one that has no titles. So far we’ve been very consistent in being good, but not great, let’s change that this year.
