Former NBA player Kevin Garnett expressed his confidence in the Boston Celtics, stating that they are the best team in the Eastern Conference. Garnett believes that the Knicks, who are trying to build a competitive roster, will still fall short against the Celtics, whom he refers to as a “green buzz saw” that cuts everything in half.
Garnett highlighted the contributions of players like Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, as well as the versatility of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, as factors that give the Celtics an edge over their competitors. He dismissed suggestions from Paul Pierce that the Knicks or the Philadelphia 76ers could pose a threat to Boston, placing them below the Celtics in his rankings.
Despite the efforts made by teams like the Knicks and the 76ers to improve their rosters, Garnett believes they have not done enough to surpass the reigning champions. He placed Orlando, Cleveland, and Miami in the fourth, fifth, and sixth spots respectively, with everyone looking up at the Celtics.
Garnett’s bold statements have sparked excitement among Celtics fans as they eagerly await the upcoming NBA season. With Garnett’s endorsement, the Celtics are poised to maintain their dominance in the Eastern Conference and defend their title as the team to beat.
