The Boston Celtics are publicly stating that they are the team to beat in the East, and they have a right ot say that.
As the current defending Eastern Conference champs, it will remain so until the end of the 2010-11 Conference Finals.
The only thing that could jeopardize the team's conference title is if they are unable to find a wing defender that can guard multiple positions.
They will not find another 6'4'' hawk of a defender like Tony Allen. Instead, they must go back to the future and find another James Posey-type player.
