The Celtics put out the Mavericks flame in the 2024 NBA Finals, dispatching them in quick fashion and raising the possibility that they could be dynastic in a weak East. The proper gentleman’s sweep that (almost) felt inevitable. The Celts are that good. The series was over in five. However, the unconventional Finals schedule was so stretched it gave someone like me (and so many other folks from New York) time to sit back and digest another Boston championship. Stomach churning again.
We’ll delve into lessons learned, but bottom line is that the Boston Celtics are light years ahead of the Brooklyn Nets in the basketball universe and will likely stretch out that celestial lead.
