Celtics: Danny Ainge ‘optimistic’ about upside of the current group
Boston is third in the Eastern Conference with 36 wins in 51 games.
During an interview with 985thesporthub, Danny Ainge talks about the upside of the group after the trade deadline.
Does Ainge believe the Celtics as currently constituted can win the NBA championship this season?
“Yes, I do think that we can, and I think a lot of things have to go our way, but I think this team has surpassed my expectations. And that’s why I never give prognostications before the season,” said Ainge. “I think the fact that right now we’re sitting at the No. 3 defense in the NBA 50 games into the season is amazing to me.
“We haven’t even been healthy … so I’m optimistic about this group of guys.”
