Why the Boston Celtics are clearly the best team in the NBA

The Boston Celtics have emerged as a dominant force in the NBA this season, boasting an impressive 22-6 record to lead the league in winning percentage while being the owners of the Association’s third-best offense, fourth-best defense, and second-best net rating.

The addition of Kristaps Porzingis has brought a new dimension to the team, providing versatility on both ends of the court. Derrick White has been a revelation for the Celtics, making an All-Star caliber leap and contributing on both ends of the floor. His defensive skill and improved shooting make him a key player for Boston. The Celtics’ bench, initially facing shooting struggles, has rebounded, with players like Sam Hauser, Al Horford, and Payton Pritchard providing crucial support.

The eponymous host of the “The Alley-Oop with Ryan Blackburn” podcast recently sat down with Celtics blogger Dan Greenberg to talk about why the Celtics have been so good early in the NBA’s 2023-24 season.
