Now begins the "Championship Bling or Bust" Tour for the Celtics

Boston hasn't won a title since 2008. Anything short of that this season, will be more than disappointing. It'll be a disaster considering all the fail-proof measures taken by the organization.

BOSTON - And so it begins, another trip around the NBA solar system for the Boston Celtics who once again find themselves at the center of attention to start the season.

But unlike the start of last season with the Ime Udoka situation hovering over the organization, the Celtics find themselves above the fray when it comes to NBA drama to kick things off this year.

Now, it’s all about basketball and whether this off-the-charts roster can deliver that super-elusive NBA title which hasn’t called Boston home, since 2008.

But if this team finds itself fortunate enough to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy in June, it will be in no small part to the team’s Back to the Future approach to this season.
