The Boston Celtics have the best record in basketball, but the LA Clippers have been the best team in basketball for over two months. Since December 1st, the Clippers are 28-7, which is the best clip in the NBA during that stretch. When asked during All-Star media day what NBA team is the best right now outside of his Celtics, star forward Jaylen Brown said the Clippers.

The Clippers had one of their most impressive wins of the season in Boston, when they took down the Celtics in blowout fashion. This was just the second home game the Celtics had lost all year, and it showed just how dominant this Clippers group can be.

There is a chance the Clippers and Celtics see each other in the NBA Finals, as both teams are the favorites in their respective conferences many places. For Brown, he saw up close how good the Clippers can be, and believes they are the best team in basketball right now outside of the Celtics.

This is high praise for the Clippers, and it is certainly much deserved. As previously mentioned, LA has been the best team in basketball for over two months, and this extended run of games has shown the potential of this group.

There is a lot of work for the Clippers to do, but they look good right now.
