The Celtics currently sit atop the NBA standings with a 48-14 record.
But if ask NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley, Boston still has a few lineup flaws that need to be addressed before the grind of the playoffs begin.
Even though Boston boasts arguably the best starting lineup in the league between Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Jrue Holiday, Barkley believes that the Celtics’ bench unit could be exposed when the NBA calendar flips to the playoffs.
Barkley’s solution?
“They can solve their bench problems very easily,” Barkley said Thursday during TNT’s pregame show before Boston’s eventual 115-109 road loss to the Nuggets.
