Gasper: I think the Celtics have a window here to win multiple championships

Do the Boston Celtics have a window to win multiple championships? Chris Gasper of The Boston Globe joined Felger and Mazz and gave his thoughts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsj0TZ6I158 Can this Celtics core win multiple championships? Felger: In the first hour, Chris, these two sentences were said on our station in relation to the Celtics now going on a run and winning multiple championships....”There is no legit competition in the NBA”, that was actually said by Matt McCarthy here to my left. And “the other teams in the league just aren't that good”, that was a caller who said that. But who could tell the difference on a day like today? Your thoughts on that?  Chris Gasper: They definitely have a window here to be able to win multiple championships. I know you've harped on this that it's been six straight years with a different champion, so we'll see if they can break that string. But they certainly have a window here. And I just look at a couple of things.....  Felger: Well, no, no, no. Can you just address quickly the “no legit competition” part of it?  Chris Gasper: I don't think that's true. No, I think, look, this year the way things shook out, they were so good wire to wire that you have to give it to them. Then obviously there were some injuries in the East and I don't think they got the team that we expected out of the West. Denver's still legit. I think Oklahoma City, they're still a young team that's getting better. We'll see what happens with Minnesota because Anthony Edwards is still a very young guy. I'll tell you this....don't sleep on Memphis. I mean, they have a top ten pick in the draft, if Ja Morant comes back, Jaren Jackson makes some progress this year, Desmond Bane can really shoot it, and they have Marcus Smart as their fourth guy. I think that's an ideal spot for him...So that's a team that maybe could emerge to challenge the Celtics. I think there'll be more competition next year than there was this.
