The Boston Celtics are rolling right now.
They have the best record in the NBA, but their dominance goes beyond the standings.
That’s why ESPN analyst Tim Legler believes they’re the best team in the league right now, and it’s not even up for debate (via Get Up).

The Celtics have beaten some of the best teams in the league with authority this season, and they’ve only lost six of their first 29 games.
We all knew they would be a force to be reckoned with as soon as they acquired both Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, and it seems like they both fit like a glove.
On top of that, there were big questions about how they could miss Marcus Smart and Grant Williams’ leadership and veteran presence off the bench, but that hasn’t been the case thus far.
They have the most stacked starting lineup in the game right now, and Derrick White has emerged as a legitimate star in this league, even though he’s obviously their fifth go-to guy right now.
White is averaging almost 17 points per game and is their fourth-leading scorer, with all starters averaging double digits to start the season.
Holiday is perhaps the most underrated backcourt defender in the league, and Porzingis has finally given them the versatile stretch big man they have craved for quite a while now.
It’s still early, and there are still some doubts about Joe Mazzulla and how he’ll deal with pressure, but as of now, it’s hard to put any team ahead of them.
