The throne is green again

,There can be few things better than spending an entire summer saying you play on the best basketball team in the world.? This was said by Arnold Jacob Auerbach, who was nicknamed Grid because he was red haired Bad Flea He was raised in Brooklyn, where his mother and father, a Jew of Belarusian descent, met and prospered in the laundry business. After playing point guard at the college level at Washington, Redd became one of the most important characters in NBA history after signing as coach of the Boston Celtics.. 1950 as a defining year, basketball before and after Auerbach.

,Can anything be better than this? I said that because I believed it In factbecause he knew winning was a habit. A culture that united the locker room and created champions who kept winning for exactly that reason, while staying in a good circle. He Celtic PrideThe Celtics’ old green glory was never anything else: The only statistic that matters is the number of wins and the only number worth looking at is the number of points earned. They are, by land, sea or airmore than the competition. If the hot water in the visiting locker room had to be turned off, it was turned off. If you had to tinker with the heating to make it too cold or stifling hot, There are bigger problems in the world. But the Celtics didn’t win because of him, nor because of yes they knew How the ball bounces in each period (Holy Land) Wooden roof sticking out from the garden.

No, the Celtics won because of Bill Russell, who was a giant of men (not just on the court); by Bob Cousy and Tom Heinsohn; by John Havlicek, Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White. Of course, by Larry Bird, French licking from red neckKevin McHale and Robert Parish. And by Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. For all those who played How to playwithout shortcuts and in the right way. For a story that has more than thirty Hall of Famers and more than two dozen retired issues. And, Starting today, 18 champion flags soar in the Garden’s infinite sky. By Red and his great ally, owner Walter Brown. The first, more than just basketball, to put a quintet of black players on the court at that time “If you want to win the game play with one black at home, two away and three away,

for so many versions of NBA history. Thus, by learning to win in the right wayJayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the rest have now been crowned champions, stitching up a locker room from the scars of past defeats. With the Celtics, winning in green is about more than winning. This is becoming a part of a tradition that never ends and now it will (so asked for) Flag at the Garden 18. Again, more than the Lakers. More than anybody.

The Boston Celtics are the NBA champions. June 17, the same day as the last time in 2008. Sixteen years later he has updated his legend, settling the score with a story who subdues when you skate.And he did it from October to June with a team that deserved it.’ He has won 80 games and lost only 21 His performance in the playoffs (16-3) has been impeccable, including ten consecutive winsa franchise record of records, and only one loss on the road (7-1). He said he didn’t even need to play a sixth game.Loose) this superiority is rarely seen and no mercy was shown to the finalists from the other side of the country, Overwhelmed the Mavericks whose resistance was focused in the fourth game (106-88 in the fifth, back at the Garden). The Celtics’ clock was long overdue and this was the day to settle it without risking all the nuts flying. Of course, there were two more bullets left at 3-1. But for these Celtics, so many times on the doorstep, the world ended tonight, on the old hardwood of the Garden.

Dominance at the crucial moment

The fifth game was just about to see the curtain fall. A devastating 9-0 run to end the first quarter (from 19-18 to 28-18) began to blur any outcome other than 4-1. journey’s End. The second quarter (67-46 at halftime) sealed the deal. The Celtics were punished for not scoring even eight points in nine minutes of the third quarter, when they were in danger of getting caught, several floors up (78-52). Without a drop of fuel for a miracle, some mavericks fell into the basement. Still frustrated with Kristaps Porzingis over that weird ankle injury that ultimately didn’t play a factor in the Finals (they were that uneven), Joe Mazzulla turned to Small quintet And, above all, he made it clear that he had read the instructions to his players, that by half-time they were only down by two (2-8 in the first half, 9-13 in the final) and They dominated the rebounds this time around (51-35, 15-7 in offense). Without getting into the defensive breakdowns of his dreadful fourth game.

Enough. The rest has been put in Jayson Tatum went from less to more (31 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists), leftover In the second part; A Jaylen Brown struggled at the rim (21 points, 23 shots) but both of these areas (8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals), Very tough in defense and worthy of the Finals MVP. And, undoubtedly, a batch of secondary ones were made, perfectFor tonight: Al Horford’s intelligence, finally a champion at 38, Derrick White’s frenetic activity, Jrue Holiday’s pedigree… One Team Thunder, one extraordinary champion.

The ground vibrations the Mavericks created in Game 4 were not even minor. There was no sign of concern. After a wonderful end to the season and its extraordinary journey through the West, an exercise in resilience, the final was too good for a team that, in any case, A starting point has been found, a cast, Of course, and once you digest the bitterness of defeat you realise it is no small matter.

The last bit of life vanished in another poor game for Kyrie Irving (15 points on 16 shots) in Boston, the number of nails in the coffin was too many Hardworking out of focus and Luka Doncic tired, with more urgency than the Magic ever could. Chased and forced by six different defenders Celtic formulas) had to suffer to score each of his 28 points, only 18 in the first three quarters.

He finished with 12 rebounds and only 5 assists for the 7th loss, 12/25 in total shots and 2/9 in triples (3/24 in the last three games). His playoffs have been monumental, his Finals an exercise in impotence against an opponent that has minimized his impact as much as humanly possible. And he had to constantly suffer on defense. In the end, 29.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists helped him achieve what, from today, will be his new goal, certainly to the point of obsession: Go back. they know how to do it, blow by blowThese Celtics, coached by Brad Stevens, are led by Joe Mazzulla Jays(Tatum and Brown), who yes they can win togetherAnd supported by Jrue, White, Horford, Porzingis, Hauser… A team that already has history in the franchise, which is a history book in itself. One, it’s been proven again, definitely endlessly. And beat. Like, the NBA throne again from today.
