‘I can’t ignore what I’m seeing from them right now!’ says ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith of the Boston Celtics

Even known Celtics skeptic Smith is drinking the green Kool-Aid.

Game after game, the Boston Celtics pick up momentum in their quest for Banner 18. The narrative has shifted from whether the team should break up star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to how high in the standings can the team climb by the end of the season — and now it is shifting to whether the Celtics can actually win the NBA title for the 2021-22 season.

Both the local and national media are taking note, fascinated by the transformation taking place before their eyes. An increasing believer in what Boston has been doing on the court in recent weeks, ESPN broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has been more and more vocal about the Celtics’ postseason potential as the season nears its end.

Check out the clip embedded below to hear all that Smith has to say about what Boston might be capable of, and why he believes they are among the hottest teams in the NBA right now.
