Can anybody actually stop the Boston Celtics?

It's no secret that the Boston Celtics have dominated the NBA this season, currently holding the best record in the NBA and being the first team to reach 60 wins.
Jayson Tatum has been having a career year, Jaylen Brown has lived up to the supermax contract, the Jrue Holiday trade and Kristaps Porzingis trade look like home runs. So is there any reason that this Boston Celtics team shouldn't be a runaway favorite to win it all?
I dove into how they've crafted this roster around Jayson Tatum to maximize what he can do, and how up and down the roster they're built to compliment their strengths. But can their weaknesses stay hidden?

Which team in the East (you can’t say “themselves”) has the best chance of beating the Celtics?👇

[@danielrecalderon6735]

6ers or bucks

[@FiachraMurray]

Ppl like to hate but realistically the bucks could definitely win the east still

[@quackmemes5410]

Knicks if fully healthy

[@cranekraken24]

None of them. Only Denver can beat them.

Yes, themselves

[@crashlight54]

Some may say it's beating a dead horse. I say that as long as Brown and Tatum are together, that horse is very much alive

[@wedabestradi096]

We do ŵhen it counts too, you can count on it...thank God for Bill Russell 😅

[@josephrafferty6763]

Those are the 2

[@radwaanmohamoud4833]

your right about this game 2 against dallas they shot horrible 3s but their defense kept them up and won the game

[@kevinfhaney]

They're only weakness is maybe injuries could happen, really don't have any real bangers in the paint and that's it ,,, Brown and Tatum are the best duo since they came together and now they have Holiday inn KP and with white they actually have a legitimate big 5

[@aceloco817]

Only thing I can see that might be a weakness is Bostons bench. Other then that, they got all stars 1-6..

[@22cjmd]

They been stopped so many times before and this time is no different not unless otherwise they overcome there kryptonite which is collapsing when it needed the most!

I think that honestly, even if a team could slow them down where I really see the strength of this team and where they could elevate their team is on defense.

[@easymoneybone]

Jayson Tatum in the clutch

[@iwannatalktosampson5852]

They will stop themselves in the playoffs like they always do . Best team in the league this year but once playoffs start they will revert to iso ball especially in clutch time possible it would matter with jrue locking up teams best player but after last few years don't trust Tatum not to sell in either the finals or ecf

Well, since the Nuggets stopped them twice this year…
