Video: ESPN's Jay Williams picks the Celtics to win it all next year


Even after the Golden State Warriors added All Star DeMarcus Cousins, not everyone believes that team is a lock to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy next season.

In fact, there's even analysts working for the self-anointed "world- wide leader", ESPN, who believe the trophy will be headed East again, though to the Boston Celtics, not the Cleveland Cavaliers or some other LeBron-James-led squad.

While I do agree the Cousins signing isn't the coup many initially believed it to be, I do think it'll be a tough out to take down the Warriors this season, even when fully healthy, without big leaps from the youth movement and a Marcus Smart return.

Watch the video below to hear Jay Williams' reasoning on the matter, and let us know if you think he's spot on - or spewing confetti like we're in Philadelphia.
