Because if the Cs come back and win this series...
429-34. Odds don’t exactly resonate there.
True.
But this is not a case of the better team having a 2-0 lead, like back in 2020 against Miami.
This is a case of the Celtics letting a lesser team beat them.
Cs shoot 25% from 3 and only lost by 1 point.
If the Knicks are the superior team then yeah, you could say this series is over.
It's more complicated than what it seems.
Celtics are losing because they are one dimensional team. A group of bunch of guys who are good 3pt shooters....sadly their shots are not going in, Tatum disappears in the playoffs and we really dont have a strong big man. If you are the Celtics owner...would you give Tatum or Brown the money they are getting ?
Nico is now emerging to be one smart mfker. He saw BS Luka was doing and realized he was not going to pay him almost 400 million so he can drink beers and cant guard a chair.
I really would be curious what kind of player you could get back for Tatum or Brown. Nobody will give up top 3-5 player.
Celtics sadly never had a luck of landing a true gemerational player rather built championships througg trades etc.
And even if there was a number 1 pick given to us there is no generational level talent.
Those players dont come often.
