Kevin Garnett is confident the Celtics are still the best team in the Eastern Conference heading into the NBA season.
He believes the Knicks are “trying to do something special,” and have the depth to challenge the Celtics to some degree, but there’s just one problem.
“It’s a big ol’ buzz saw right above them, that’s a green buzz saw that’s cutting everything in half,” Garnett said in a “Ticket & The Truth” clip he shared on social media.
Garnett indicated that Jrue Holiday and Derrick White help vault the Celtics over the top, along with the versatility of superstars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
“I’m going to keep it real,” Garnett said. “If you ain’t got no guard play at the front, if you ain’t got a 1-2 that can be two-way, you can’t play with the Cs.”
