Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
They were two games from a championship and it took a game for the ages from Curry to stop them. I think there is a universe where they won one already.
Pat Bev just shit talking as always.
Eh, you can reverse that kind of logic and say the only reason why they were even that close was because of an uncanny collapse by the Warriors at the end of game 1.
I think it was an over pay for Brown but it’s hard to believe they won’t get at least 1 with the right pieces around them
He’s not wrong that diversity of approaches helps but klay and steph seemed to do ok on the same team so there is always an exception.
I think the bigger issue is whether the east stays weak-ish? Does Miami gas out? Does Milwaukie do anything? Does Cleveland deliver on the promise they showed for most of last season now that they’ve had the chip put on their shoulder a bit?
Then there is the whole “Western Conference” to think about. Denver isn’t coming back weaker with a young team that just won the chip, they’ll be hungry as hell to repeat.
Great teams, teams better than these Celtics, have not won a chip, so there is always an element of luck and timing, the question is, can they get their additional role player pieces right and have the timing work with the ebb an flow of other teams? Honestly I feel like the last 4 years they had a great opportunity where if their team was ready and were going to win it, they should have as Golden State was slayable. They definitely shouldn’t have lost this year if they were going to ever get over the hump.
Great commentary!
How Brown complement Tatum isn’t the question. They’re both versatile wings that can do it all on both ends. As long as Tatum is on the court they’re fine, and having someone of Brown’s caliber is just icing on the cake.
The problem is that the Celtics were hoping that Brown could really take over when Tatum is off the court, but that hasn’t been the case so far. Not always anyway, there has been bursts and in general he’s still a net positive. Just not the type of net positive you need in a second star.
