Regardless of how seasons to come unfold, the Celtics will likely always wonder what could have been as they watched their 2-1 series lead crumble and the Warriors ultimately celebrate a championship at TD Garden.
The hope among those in the organization, however, is that this is only the beginning – the start of an extended run that features many trips to the Finals and several championships of their own. They also wouldn’t mind another crack at the Warriors, and it’s not too far fetched that they could get one.
Oddsmakers believe a Celtics vs. Warriors rematch is a very possible outcome for the 2023 season.
