The Boston Celtics have been the best team in the league all season, but they have also had their fair share of problems.
But on Thursday night they didn’t seem to have any problems and they easily defeated the Indiana Pacers, 126-110.
On Friday’s “Undisputed,” Skip Bayless spoke about the Celtics and just how well they did.
He proclaimed that, right now, a championship for this team “feels meant to be.”
“Everything has lined up for them,” Bayless said.

Just a few nights before, the Pacers nearly walked away with a win in Game 1, which would have been a massive accomplishment.
But they didn’t look like the same team that almost stole a victory earlier this week.
In Game 2, the Celtics just had their way with the Pacers.
Multiple players were performing well, including Jaylen Brown who posted 40 points.
Al Horford was also a huge help with his 10 rebounds, while Derrick White was looking good again with 23 points and 50% from beyond the three-point line.
For months now, people have said the Celtics can win a championship this year.
In fact, many have said that they have to in order to really be a success after the regular season they had.
They have had a fairly easy time in the playoffs so far, taking down two short-handed teams on their way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
But now even the Pacers don’t seem to be a match for them.
It’s not clear who they would face in the Finals but it is becoming more and more likely that the Celtics have a one-way ticket to compete for the championship.
