The Boston Celtics have a tough schedule for the 2025 NBA Cup. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, in a recent episode of their show that came out with the release of the NBA’s 2025-26 regular season schedule.

The Celtics have found themselves placed into the Eastern Conference’s Group B for this year’s cup play, which will have them take on the the Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, and Detroit Pistons. With only the Magic looking like a lock to be a home court team and the Pistons a likely winning ball club by the end of the season, the Celtics have a real shot of winning their group this year, but it won’t be easy with Orlando looking much better.
