Description
With the 2021-2022 season officially over, Josh and Mike try to regroup after the emotional rollercoaster of a year that *almost* led to Banner 18. Instead, Josh, Mike, and Celtics fans, players, coaches, and staff are collectively exhausted and ready to regroup.
Josh and Mike give their quick reactions about the C’s run to the Finals, whether the better team won, and whether the season should be considered a success (short answer: obviously, yes!). They credit the great defense and unique talents of the Warriors, and salute the Celtics for making it as far as they did – well beyond any preseason expectations.
Then, the guys look at a number of big “What Ifs” about the season, pondering what might have been if things had fallen just a bit differently. To name just a few of the questions they grappled with: What If the Celtics Had Closed Out the Earlier Rounds More Quickly? What if TimeLord Was Fully Healthy? What if Kris Middleton was Fully Healthy!?
Finally, the guys started to scratch the surface of the offseason to come. Josh provided his draft deep cuts, profiling a promising array of guys he feels could realistically be available for the C’s at 53. Mike, meanwhile, has his eyes cast on trades and free agency, excited by Brad Stevens and Wyc Grousbeck’s comments indicating they’re willing to go into the tax this year, and knowing the C’s have plenty of tools (particularly TPEs) at their disposal.
Check it all out, and more, on this week’s Celtics PRIDE.
