Of course, that is not what happened.
They took down Jokic, and they were a solid team all season.
The Wolves became the latest media darling and Anthony Edwards was crowned as Michael Jordan.
But because it’s the Celtics, nobody wanted to believe thattheywere actually going to win the title.
Don’t let the revisionist history we’re now seeing after the fact fool you.
First it was Denver, then it was Minnesota, then it was Dallas.
You know who didn’t think that?
As the champs, you are allowed to say whatever the hell you want.
In both of the DEN/BOS matchups, we saw just how competitive a potential Finals were going to be.
There was the 102-100 win in their first matchup, and the 115-109 win in the second.
As we know, once you get to the playoffs it’s all about matchups.
Same shit is true for the Celts this year.
But unfortunately, they choked in that Game 7 at home, which is the beauty of sports.
Nothing is guaranteed, especially in a playoff series.
Whether or not it’ll be a Finals preview is what we’ll have to wait to find out.
