What if the Boston Celtics don’t fix their biggest issue… and win the NBA Finals anyway?
I had this funny thought after Game 1, given that it featured the weakest of Celtics weaknesses: blowing massive, arguably insurmountable leads to manageable deficits in no time flat. It didn’t ultimately matter, but it got me thinking about one of the funnier possibilities for how this season could end.
Last year, the Celtics would lose games like that constantly, albeit usually not with leads that large (the Dallas Mavericks doubled up 29-58 at one point).
