After starting off slow last season, the Boston Celtics went on an impressive run to the NBA Finals. They took down the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, and Miami Heat en route to their first Finals appearance since 2010 and the first of Jayson Tatum’s and Jaylen Brown’s tenure in Boston.
However, the run was cut just short of their ultimate goal, as they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games. Since then, Tatum has commented on how “miserable” he was after the loss, and Marcus Smart even admitted to having trouble sleeping as he couldn’t stop thinking about it.
