"The Celtics proved to me and the rest of the world that they're the best team in the NBA. And I'm not just basing this off what they did (on Monday) to the Lakers. I'm talking about the clean sweep that they had in L.A. They beat the brakes off the Clippers and then to come in and do what they did (against the Lakers). Look, when I look at that starting five with Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday and (Kristaps) Porzingis - that is so electrifying. And I know all the people, the naysayers, are saying they shoot too many 3s. I was one of them. But I'm a believer in their 3-point shooting, and I'm a believer in their perimeter defense. This team should be favored to win it all."
"Even though Boston could stand to bolster its bench depth between now and the Feb. 8 trade deadline, the Celtics boast arguably the best starting-five lineup in the league. Boston's victory over the Lakers on Christmas Day reinforced that sentiment. Even with Anthony Davis dropping 40 points and LeBron James adding 16 points, nine rebounds and nine assists - Boston still pulled away with a 126-115 win thanks to six players scoring in double figures."
