1. Full disclosure: this version of the Takeaways is going to be a little rambling, a little bit of a rant and probably overly negative. This space is rarely written from the first-person perspective, meaning you don’t get a lot of “I think…” or “I want…”. It’s never been the intention of the Takeaways.
That said…I just can’t today.
When Game 1 of the Boston Celtics second series against the Philadelphia 76ers ended, I was frustrated, disappointed and angry. I had hoped that sleeping on it and rewatching with less-emotional eyes in the morning, that things would come into focus.
