I have been thinking of ways to glorify my Boston Celtics for almost a day.
I know it was an uneventful finals series, but it's not Boston's fault that Dallas made the Finals.
And I have been incredibly cautious about what to blog about. I know I'm bent on doing a congrats blog, but I have no idea what road I should go to.
Am I going to write about how The Big Three-fueled championship was played in a season when Red Auerbach and Dennis Johnson died? In some ways, it's relevant since we lost Bill Russell in the preseason, and Bill Walton before the finals, and in some ways, Jerry West (playing for the Lakers) and Chet Walker (playing for the Sixers) had a hand in Boston's '60s title run.
Should I make a blog on how Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the more successful versions of Boston's '90s one-two punch that is Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker?
Or maybe how most Eastern teams fueled Boston's rise to the top?
Maybe I need to insert of couple of championship images here:
Or how did Boston get help from Kyrie Irving?
I am not much of a Kyrie hater as I was a couple of seasons back. With that said, I was trying to hate him during this series. However, except for that one win, it felt like Kyrie just couldn't give Dallas the championship savvy he normally has.
Anyway, this was Boston's season to lose. Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzula set up this season so well. While I admit they went a bit overboard with the Jaylen Brown contract extension, they managed to do this while keeping Jayson Tatum. Al Horford, and Derrick White, while getting the likes of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday.
Congrats, Boston!
I may do a Top 20 blog of something!!!
