Only two teams have reached the Eastern Conference Finals more than once over the past four seasons. The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, and your very own Boston Celtics.
Why is this relevant now, with the Celtics languishing towards another .500 season? Well, the mediocre play over the last year and a half has caused desperation to sink in with some of the Celtics fan base questioning the path forward with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown leading the team. Which brings about renewed calls to “trade Brown” or “split up the Jays.”
Boston Herald Celtics Reporter Mark Murphy - who joined Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti on the most recent episode of the Celtics Beat Podcast on CLNS Media - thinks making a move now would be very premature.
