The Cavaliers-Celtics rivalry is about to heat up again!

The Cavaliers and the Celtics were the top two teams from the East last season, and it looks to remain that way this upcoming season. They fought for the top seed in the East all of last season and eventually played each other in the Eastern Conference Finals. Let’s not forget that LeBron has a rivalry with Boston that dates back to his first tenure in Cleveland.

Now Cleveland has shipped Kyrie Irving to Boston in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn’s unprotected first round pick in 2018. For the record, I think both teams ended up winners in this deal. I just can’t wait to see what kind of storylines will pick up steam as they clash on the court. And we won’t have to wait too long. The teams will serve as the NBA season opener!
