Kendrick Perkins believes in the Celtics championship credentials

The Boston Celtics are heading back East after a successful West Coast road trip that saw them go 3-1, including wins over the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. After beating two teams that are viewed as potential contenders in the Western Conference and doing it on their home floor, it would appear that even the harshest of critics are starting to believe in Boston.

Kendrick Perkins is one of those harsh critics. He has been reluctant to believe his former team has what it takes to become champions at the end of the season. However, after witnessing the Celtics dismantle both LA teams, Perkins has had a change of heart.

The discussion took place on a recent episode of ESPN’s NBA Countdown, where Perkins admitted that his former team had impressed him, and he now views them as championship favorites, especially if they can secure home-court advantage.

You can watch Perkins’ full comments by clicking on the embedded clip above.
