It is safe to say the defending NBA champions, the Boston Celtics, do not need many things right now. They have one of the best rosters in the league and proven Championship experience. Other teams around the league have improved though and are trying to catch up with the Celtics. As a result, it might be smart of them to try and keep a step ahead.

The Celtics will officially be without two starters Friday against the Cavaliers as others are also still questionable on the injury report.
