People used to say LeBron James had an easy path to the Finals when he was in the East. If that’s true, then what do we call the Boston Celtics’ path in 2024?
🔸No Jimmy Butler in round 1
🔸No Jarrett Allen or Donovan Mitchell in round 2
🔸No Tyrese Haliburton in Game 3 of the Conference Finals
🔸If not the Pacers, it might’ve been Milwaukee without Giannis Antetokounmpo or New York without half its team
You have to play the team in front of you. Being the healthiest team is a required luck to win a championship. But the Celtics are entering a lose-lose situation now.
If they win their 18th championship, it could come with an asterisk from fans. If they lose the championship, that will lead to the roasting of a lifetime.
This was the most injury-riddled season in NBA history. When we look back on the Boston Celtics, how will we remember them?
