Back-To-Back Celtics Parades Is A Realistic Possibility
After a dominant run to the 2023-2024 NBA Championship, the Celtics are in a prime spot to run it back in 2024-2025.

Boston's championship drought ended when the Celtics won the 2023-2024 NBA Finals and so did their parade drought, as the city celebrated with the customary duck boat floats.
And the day did not disappoint.
I was lucky enough to attend the parade and it ended up being one of the coolest things I've ever experienced.
Everything lined up for it to be a perfect day to celebrate: gorgeous weather, a Friday and the last week of school for many young fans.
And, as expected, the streets were packed. I stood at my traditional parade spot where I have also watched a Patriots Super Bowl parade and multiple Red Sox World Series parades. And it was at this spot that this parade was supposed to conclude it's journey from TD Garden, around the city, and then make it's way from this point in Back Bay back to the Garden. So the anticipation mounted as the minutes passed waiting for the parade to reach Boylston Street.
But as soon as the confetti started falling from the sky, the wait in the boiling sun crushed in between thousands of sweaty fans at different levels of inebriation was all worth it.
The MVP chants for Jaylen Brown were LOUD and the love for Jayson Tatum was evident.
And then after seeing all of the stars ride by on the duck boats, I basically just followed the parade home as fans ran after the duck boats to high-five their favorite players.
I admittedly didn't expect to be as in awe of how neat that experience was as I was as I turned onto my street and got home. It was just a true purely fun time.
And I know both fans and players alike are going to want to do this all over again next season.
The Celtics' odds to win the NBA Finals next season are at +300 at BetMGM and their odds to win the East are at +125. They are the favorites in both of those categories.
And if this team stays healthy, they can certainly repeat at the Finals winner.
So, keep those duck boats gassed up because we might be doing this all over again next year.
