Before the Boston Celtics went up against the Milwaukee Bucks in Wisconsin, Charles Barkley spoke a few words about the Boston Celtics. Barkley was quick to praise the Celtics. According to Barkley, the Celtics are the best team in the NBA and there is nobody currently near their level. Barkley claimed the Nuggets and The L.A. Clippers are the second and third-best teams in the league but the Boston Celtics are undoubtedly the best team in the league right now.
“No disrespect to the champion Nuggets or the L.A. Clippers. Those are the second and third-best teams in the NBA. There’s nobody in the NBA on the level with the Celtics right now. They are the best team. I think they’re the best team by far.” Barkley on Boston Celtics (via @NBAonTNT)
The Boston Celtics have 29-9 in their first 38 games in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics before the Milwaukee Bucks match pulled off a 127-120Â overtime win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Boston Celtics have won 7 of their last 10 games and are currently placed as the first seed in the Eastern Conference.
Boston Celtics Undefeated on their home turf
The Boston Celtics went on to suffer a 135-102 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks following the comments made by Charles Barkley. Decent performances from Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser were not enough to pull off a win for the Boston Celtics. Pritchard produced 21 points,4 assists, and 4 rebounds, and Sam Hauser with 15 points and 4 rebounds gave the Milwaukee Bucks some trouble but still the Bucks were able to secure an easy win.
The Boston Celtics are undefeatable on their home turf. They have a perfect home record of 18-0 in home games, while they have a record of 11-9 in the 20 games they played on the road.
It seems the  Celtics have learned a lot from their failures last season and have certainly made corrections to their game. The Boston Celtics have made some significant additions to their side over the offseason acquiring 2018 NBA All-Star Kristaps Porzingis and 2021 NBA Champion Jrue Holiday. Both the players clicked instantly for the Boston Celtics and it seems they are on top of their game this season.
If The Celtics can continue the form they are in, they have an excellent chance to win the NBA championship this year.
