There have been many incredible parts of the 2024 Boston Celtics winning the NBA title.
Something we all dreamed about for years has somehow been actually better in real life.
A quick look at the free agent moves this summer pretty much confirms it.
They had the 2 best players in the Finals, remember?
For example, “inconsistent”?
There is not a thing inconsistent about this Celtics team.
In fact, their consistency is what made them so dominant!
They never lost 3 games in a row ALL SEASON!
Seems pretty hard to do that if you’re “inconsistent”, but oh well!
They didn’t lose 2 games in a row all playoffs long!
There is nothing inconsistent about the Celtics style of play either.
Oh, they shoot a lot of 3s?
They were also #2 (slightly trailing DEN) in the NBA in Post Up frequency.
That is what makes them a nightmare to defend.
There is not a style they cannot play.
You want to play fast?
OK. You want to go big?
You want to play small ball?
May I introduce you to Jayson Tatum at the 5 surrounded by elite shooting.
That is fact, not opinion.
The tape doesn’t lie.
As embarrassing as the Arenas take was, nothing comes close to Rashad McCants.
Just think about that for a second.
But in no way does that suggest that your title window is “closed”.
In fact, I would argue the window has never been more open!
Now, all you’re able to do is point and laugh.
