Is it time to worry about the Boston Celtics? Not if you ask David Griffin.
The former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager joined NBC Sports' Tom Haberstroh on "The Haberstroh Show" to discuss several topics, including which team he believes will come out of a surprisingly tough Eastern Conference.
Griffin is a big fan of the Toronto Raptors after their additions of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green -- but he still likes the Celtics to reach the NBA Finals despite their slow start.
"(Green and Leonard) is a lot easier thing to integrate into your team than reintroducing a bunch of ball dominance in Boston and having young kids who have never been elite role players figure out how to play their role," Griffin told Haberstroh.
"That's going to take some time, but they'll figure it out. Brad Stevens is amazing, so I'm going to take Boston to represent in the Finals."
Haberstroh and Griffin touched on several other NBA storylines in the debut episode of "The Haberstroh Show," including the latest drama in the Bay Area, the future of the Warriors' Big Four and the true contenders out West (Hey, Blazers) and in the East (Milwaukee, anyone?).
