With a deep roster and bright future, many NBA experts believe the Boston Celtics are the only team capable of beating the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

The Boston Celtics have the talent, depth and stardom to get to the NBA Finals, but there is one team standing in the way of winning it all.

With four NBA championship appearances and three titles won over the last four seasons, the Golden State Warriors have put together one of the most dominant stretches of greatness in sports history.

Then, when the Warriors signed four-time NBA All Star DeMarcus Cousins this offseason, the national media erupted as if Golden State had already secured a fourth championship to add to its recent run of eminence.

It’s far from a foregone conclusion though.

There is one team in the NBA capable of beating the Golden State Warriors in a seven-game series and it is the Boston Celtics.
