The Boston Celtics have advanced to the NBA Finals two of the last three years. They had to part with important players like Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart along the way, so the journey was never simple. To make matters worse, Ime Udoka was expelled from the organisation as well. However, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown persisted in returning to this role. They were only victorious once each against the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers before the Indiana Pacers were swept. While there are plenty of reasons to celebrate, opening champagne bottles this early? Not according to the two stars, Joe Mazzulla, and the rest of the faithful.
The Eastern Conference winners deserved to celebrate after destroying the Pacers on their home court. The mood changed as they made their way to the dressing area. According to Jay King of The Athletic, Jayson Tatum said two things to Jaylen Brown that made the two of them eager to take the parquet floors in the NBA Finals right away.
The All-NBA player for the Celtics urged the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, “Four more.”
Jaylen Brown was limited to nodding in agreement with Jayson Tatum. What distinguishes this Celtics team from the versions that supporters have witnessed in the past? Experience. According to Brown, in the next two weeks, this club will be prepared to raise the Larry O’Brien trophy and the franchise’s 18th banner.
“We think that this year and the year before that, we’re a different team. I understand that some people would like to keep linking us to previous events, but in the last five years, we have had three different coaches and a different squad each year. The Larry Bird Trophy recipient declared, “And yet, people want to make it seem like it’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same.”
Under Brad Stevens’ guidance, these two have undergone an immaculate, quick evolution. For the benefit of people like Bill Walton and Bill Russell, they should now make due with their potential and bring it home.
They let go of important components as their first action. By doing this, the Celtics acquired a seasoned unicorn in Kristaps Porzingis as well as a defensive guru and experienced leader in Jrue Holiday. After that, Joe Mazzulla continued to implement his perimeter-based plays. Everything functioned flawlessly. The NBA’s top team was the Celtics. They achieved this with the third-ranked defence (rated at 111.6) and the top-ranked оffensive (123.2).
Asterisks were immediately added to this NBA Finals run. Jimmy Butler was not on the Heat, and the Celtics were not receiving enough recognition. The same thing happened against the Cavaliers, despite winning in five games. Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen both missed a lot of time throughout this series. The identical phrases were being said during their rout of the Pacers following Tyrese Haliburton’s foul.
Celtics supporters along with the organization from top to bottom can hear the venom. They are limited to being the winners and wielding the pen of history.
