The Boston Celtics are among the favorites to win it all in 2023, so it is not exactly going out on a limb to suggest they could be hanging a banner soon. But the odds always favor the field over any particular individual club, so it takes a little boldness for an NBA analyst to suggest a specific team is going to win the title this early in the playoffs.

Speaking on a recent episode of the ESPN “NBA Crosscourt” show with host Ros Gold-Onwude, Bontemps explained why he sees good times ahead for Boston.
To hear his arguments for yourself, take a look at the clip embedded above.
