CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It’s a good thing, yet also has drawbacks.
Being in uniform at this juncture during the NBA calendar means you’re one of two teams alive in the Finals, still battling for the right to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy and be dubbed the league’s champions.
For Charles Lee, the end of the road in Boston is near but he can’t peer too far ahead. While he’s completely immersed in assisting Celtics coach Joe Muzzulla as they attempt to beat the Dallas Mavericks, Lee can’t completely shift his focus to his next gig: serving as the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets.
