NBA stars have crowned the Celtics as the new team to beat image

NBA superstars and New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart went on their podcast today and stated the Boston Celtics are now the team to chase and beat. 

 

“Everyone’s coming for and chasing Boston,” said Hart. “We could have went and signed Bron, Jokic, KD, but we’re still chasing Boston. They’re the champs.”

 

The Celtics went on a legendary run last season, going 64-18 in the regular season, and 16-3 in the playoffs and won the NBA Finals. A majority of their starters and their sixth man have been All-Stars at one point, and have a pair of MVP candidates in the Jays, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. 

 

This Celtics team now being put in the role of team to beat has been getting them comparisons to the Golden State Warriors Dynasty, which lasted from 2015 to 2022. The Celtics are now looking to become the next dynasty. 

 

The Celtics will be back in the driver's seat next season, as they resigned their entire championship core, and are fueled by the talk of critics calling their path to the Finals weak and fraudulent.
