ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith thinks the Boston Celtics can ‘knock anybody off’

If there were still NBA analysts who thought that the Golden State Warriors were really the better team than the Boston Celtics, there is a pretty good chance there are a lot less of them today. The day after the Celtics dismantled the Warriors on national television to a historic degree, our heads are still spinning from Boston’s 82-point first half.

That was a historic half for Boston, itself among the most decorated ball clubs in NBA history. What does this brutal beatdown of the Dubs mean for the Celtics’ designs on contention? Is this validation that they are truly the favorites to win it all this summer?

If you ask senior ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith, the Celtics can “knock anybody off” on the biggest stage of the league.

Speaking on a recent episode of the “NBA Countdown” show, Smith broke down why he feels this way. Check it out above!
