The Boston Celtics' season ended not with a bang, but with a whimper, as the New York Knicks decidedly booted them out of the playoffs on Friday in a lopsided 119-81 loss.
And while an early exit is always a bummer, Boston has reason to be more upset than most. For one, star Jayson Tatum could miss all of next season after exiting Game 4 with a ruptured Achilles. And for another, it's extremely likely the front office changes up the roster to avoid a very costly year.
