Following the Celtics 118-101 victory over the Pacers, Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle said Boston has the “best starting five in basketball.”
Let me correct that statement. The Celtics have the best top six in the NBA. With Al Horford snubbed in the post-game comments, he’s a player that anyone would dream of having on their roster.
I truly can’t get enough of Horford, and the feeling appears mutual between Celtics fans and the team. In the midst of his 17th NBA season, he’s fully embraced his new role off the bench.
