For those that don't remember, the 2022 playoff run was all about revenge. Celtics faced the 3 teams that had kicked them out of the playoffs in the rounds they were kicked out:

• Nets knocked us out in 2021 in the 1st Round and we beat them in the 1st Round in 2022
• Bucks knocked us out in 2019 in the 2nd Round and we beat them in the 2nd Round in 2022
• Heat knocked us out in the ECF in 2020 and we beat them in the ECF in 2022

This year, we could face the 3 teams that beat us to start the year 0-3, in the order they beat us:

• 76ers beat us Game 1 and we face them in Round 1
• Knicks beat us Game 2 and we could face them in Round 2
• Pistons beat us Game 3 and we could face them in Round 3

Anyway, just wanted to share a trip down memory lane and an interesting wrinkle that could happen on our way to Banner 19!!
