The defending champs fell short — but why?

In this deep-dive episode of Dedic8te, we break down a rollercoaster 2024-25 campaign for the Boston Celtics, who stormed to 61 wins only to crash out in the second round after Jayson Tatum’s season-ending Achilles tear. From the brilliance of Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to the offseason trades that sent Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis packing, we analyze how Boston’s front office is recalibrating in the wake of brutal setbacks — and what it means for the road ahead.
