Conventional NBA wisdom says the Boston Celtics have the best chance of winning a championship this year.
For the last few months, they have been seemingly unstoppable at times and have sat comfortably as the top team in the Eastern Conference.
But Skip Bayless isn’t ready to call them favorites to win it all this year.
On Monday’s “Undisputed,” Bayless listed a few reasons why he’s not 100% convinced by the Celtics, including their insistence on taking so many three-pointers.

Bayless has repeatedly said that the Celtics live and die by the three-pointer.
They shoot that special shot from downtown more than any other team and it’s become a crucial part of their offense.
When they are landing their buckets from beyond the three-point line, they are red-hot.
But when they aren’t shooting well, the Celtics look beatable.
The Celtics have definitely been the best team in their conference for a long time now but some people think they have gotten too comfortable and haven’t addressed some of the bad habits that hinder them.
That could end up biting them in the weeks ahead when the playoffs get started.
They have multiple days off now because of their top seeding and when the first round starts, they will play against the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, or Atlanta Hawks.
They will be the favorites to win any series they are in but the fans and team shouldn’t just assume the Celtics are going to sail to a championship.
The playoffs are sometimes very different from the regular season so even though Boston has found a ton of success so far this year, victory moving forward isn’t assured.
