The Beast of the East has to be the Boston Celtics. They are the NBA Champions and they have the third best record in the league behind the Cavs and Lakers. The only reason I pick the Celtics over the Cavs is because they’re the champs.

The Celtics are almost as good as they were last year. As soon as they get their defense back to what it was last year I think they will be even better. The added two new players who they hope can get them more help off the bench, Micky Moore and Stephan Marbury. Marbury really hasn’t played very much because he was to busy warming the bench in New York, but now he’s getting the chance to play. He’s not making a big impact yet, but that’s because he’s only played in 3 games. Micky Moore won’t put up a lot of points but he can pull down rebounds.

Not to mention they still have the Big 3. No more need be said.

The Celtics have already clinched a playoff spot and are hoping to get back to the NBA Finals for the second year in a row and repeat.

I’m pretty sure they will have to get through the Cavs before making it there and I’m sure if they get there they will be facing the Lakers which wouldn’t be a bad series to watch again. The Lakers have the best record in the league and will defiantly have something to prove to the Celtics if they happen to meet in the Finals.
