The Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors are the five teams that make up the division.
One of the three divisions of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association is called the Atlantic Division (NBA). Five teams make up the division: the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Toronto Raptors. The East Coast of the United States is home to all teams, with the exception of the Raptors. However, Toronto sports teams have long had rivalry with teams in the North-eastern United States. In particular, Toronto teams in Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League are in the same division as teams from Boston and New York.

How resilient their veterans can be throughout the regular season and into the postseason is the Celtics’ main concern this year. Following knee surgery, Kevin Garnett‘s future is uncertain unless he can demonstrate consistency once more.
This offseason, Danny Ainge made the decision to provide his team with some insurance by bringing in guard/forward Marquis Daniels and veteran Rasheed Wallace. Due to the fact that both athletes can play many positions, the Celtics’ success is unavoidably a result.

The Eastern Conference will undoubtedly work hard this offseason to catch up to the Cs because they are aware that the era of a single team or player dominating the league (think LeBron James in the 2010s) is long gone. The Houdini is now attempting to resolve the highly compensated star guard problems of three distinct teams in one fell swoop after devising fake agreements that produced a new Miami “Big 3” and an unstoppable defensive frontcourt in Milwaukee.
