4. Boston Celtics (6-4)
Last week: 6
As we touched on earlier, the Boston Celtics are beginning to look more and morel like the team many expected to be the class of the Eastern Conference. Although, they still have some work to do.
Gordon Hayward is still trying to get comfortable with this team, which is littered wit talent, and they will only get better with every passing game (assuming no injury). The Celtics will be there in the end in the East; they will have a hand in who faces the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Although, through the first few weeks of the NBA season, I’m not sure this is the best team in the East. And the fact that we’re saying that this season should come as a surprise, with the way many were talking about this conference ahead of the start of the season.
