Phil Jackson knows it by personal experience. After engaging the Boston Celtics in an epic title series last June, wherein his Los Angeles Lakers came back from a 13-point second quarter deficit in game seven to win the NBA championship, he still believes the Beantown outfit remains as the team to beat in the East. The 11-time champion coach still thinks the Celtics are a good team and there is no way the retooled Miami Heat can dethrone Doc Rivers charges as Eastern Conference kingpins, according to ESPN.
“I personally don't think they (Miami Heat) can get by Boston. I think Boston is too good a team. I think a team is still going to win. But there's a chance that [the Heat] ... can maybe round themselves into a team by that time and [win]. Boston is older and they have to go through the rest of the schedule without having some kind of breakdown of players. [Ray] Allen and [Kendrick] Perkins, etc., they are just really a good team.”
