Maybe it’s just me but last time I checked, the new and improved Boston Celtics haven’t proven anything just yet; so for people to automatically assume that the Larry O’Brien trophy will reside in Boston…all those thoughts are premature if you ask me. I’ll admit, the east is pretty weak so Boston has just as good a chance as any other team to represent the eastern conference in the finals but it’s a long season. Anything can happen from now until then but barring a season-ending injury to Garnett, Pierce, or Allen, I’d have to agree that the Celtics are the frontrunners.
Let’s not forget though, Detroit is still a good team and I’m sure they’ll be around come playoff time along with Cleveland, Chicago, Orlando, New Jersey, and Washington but it’s just too early to tell. 7-0 is still a good start though and I commend “the big 3” for their stellar play as of late but can they sustain it for 82 games is the big question. I’m sure they can but all this talk of them winning 70+ games is a bit unrealistic. The competition in the NBA is so evenly distributed throughout the league that it would be hard pressed for any team to do such a thing so all those notions can be thrown out the window.
Basically, Boston is loaded and primed to make a playoff run come that time of the year and, realistically, have a clear shot of winning it all. Will they or won’t they remains to be seen but that’s why they play the games. Everything will unfold on the court so whatever way the ball bounces, a new champion will be crowned either way.
