Are the Boston Celtics the class of the NBA's Eastern Conference? This was the question posed by the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, on a recent episode of their show in conversation with champion Celtics alum and broadcaster Cedric Maxwell. The trio gets into what has been going into Boston's hot start to the 2026-27 NBA regular season, how star forward Jayson Tatum has been playing, and the fit of vet swingman Paul George with his new ball club.
They also touch on the overall makeup of the Celtics' roster, what else is going on in the East, and how Joe Mazzulla has been coaching his players so far this season among several other topics.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had
to say about all of these issues, as well as what they think is ahead of Boston this season.
