The rich history of the Boston Celtics extends back to 1946 and an era and the championship dynasty building of one Red Auerbach who was hired in 1950 to turn around a stumbling franchise. Auerbach did just that and began a run of championship titles that began in 1957. They again won the title in 1959 and went on a streak of 8 straight championships (1959-1967). They again won back to back titles in 1968 and 69. Four seasons later, the Celtics won the title again and repeated in 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986 and most recently 2008.

The franchise has won 20 Conference Titles and 27 Division Titles.

Past Seasons

The 64th season for the Boston Celtics marks 4th season for Head Coach Glen “Doc” Rivers at the helm of the storied franchise. After winning the NBA Title in 2007, his team made it back to the Eastern Conference Finals last season but they were dispatched by the Orlando Magic in seven games.

Rumors began swirling at the end of the season that indicated both Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen were being actively shopped to other teams. GM Danny Ainge put a stop to the rumors assuring fans and players alike that he had an unstoppable championship crew assembled and little if any changes were needed. Ainge held true to his word and the only major change made was the acquisition of former Detroit Pistons PF Rasheed Wallace who signed a 3-year deal.
