The Boston Celtics have advanced to the NBA Finals two of the last three years. They had to part ways with key players like Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart along the road, so the journey was never easy. To make matters worse, Ime Udoka was expelled from the organisation as well. However, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown insisted on returning to this role. They only won one against the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers before being swept by the Indiana Pacers. While there are many reasons to celebrate, why open champagne bottles so early? Not according to the two stars, Joe Mazzulla, and the rest of the fans. 

The Eastern Conference champions deserved to rejoice after demolishing the Pacers on their home court. The tone altered as they approached the changing room. According to Jay King of The Athletic, Jayson Tatum said two things to Jaylen Brown that fueled their desire 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 previous versions? Experience. According to Brown, in the next two weeks, this team will be ready to raise the Larry O’Brien trophy and the franchise’s 18th banner.

“We believe that this year and the previous year are different teams. I understand that some people want to keep tying us to previous events, but over the last five years, we’ve had three different coaches and a different group each year. The Larry Bird Trophy winner stated, “And yet, people want to make it seem like it’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same.”

These two have evolved flawlessly and quickly under the direction of Brad Stevens. For the sake of folks like Bill Walton and Bill Russell, they should now make do with their abilities and bring them home.

They let go of critical components as their initial action. By doing so, the Celtics added a seasoned unicorn in Kristaps Porzingis, as well as a defensive genius and experienced leader in Jrue Holiday. Following that, Joe Mazzulla continued to use his perimeter-based plays. Everything worked flawlessly. The Celtics were the NBA’s top team. They accomplished this with the third-ranked defence (111.6) and the top-ranked offence (123.2).

Asterisks were immediately added to this NBA Finals run. Jimmy Butler wasn’t on the Heat, and the Celtics weren’t getting enough respect. Despite winning in five games, the Cavaliers had the same outcome. Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen both missed a significant amount of time throughout the series. The identical phrases were being said during their rout of the Pacers following Tyrese Haliburton’s foul.

Celtics fans, as well as the entire organisation, can hear the vitriol. They are constrained to becoming the victor and wielding the pen of history.
