There will be naysayers until they play the Spurs, Mavs, and Suns. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen until January 31 when they play the Mavs. Their first big test against the West is Utah at the end of December, but Utah lost to the Knicks, so I don't think it will be viewed in the same light. Next would be Houston. At the beginning of the season, I would have said Houston was elite but not so much anymore.
The Celtics have only beaten 3 teams that are currently over .500 right now and lost to 2 of them, so there will be skeptics for awhile.
