Boston Celtics NBA Finals defeat Golden State Warriors With six games, this past postseason has, of course, weighed heavily on fans and players since it happened. But Celtics forward Grant Williams took things to another level when he thought Boston was still a good team.
Regarding the heatguard Duncan Robinson podcast “Long Shot with Duncan Robinson and Davis Reed,” Williams said: A better team. … I think they were a more disciplined team. Will definitely say so. “
With an average of 4.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and assists per game in the series, the forward refers to the “movie” where the Celtics “commanded” leads, chances and runs during the game. Ultimately, turnovers and forced shots (which aren’t a good team feature) block everything, and then the Warriors take advantage of it.
“We didn’t play the discipline of playing the right thing over and over,” continued Williams.
Celtics players Stephen CurryHe called it “the greatest point guard of all time,” but then returned to quoting the mistake of self-harm as the cause of the defeat of the finals, such as “overconfidence.”
This would be a spectacular sound bite on its own, but it’s even more confusing to think of it as the second year this happened, according to Williams himself. Williams told Robinson that a similar scenario took place in Orlando’s bubble playoffs when the Celtics played the heat.
In other words, in the second season of Williams’ career at the Celtics, his team lost, despite having a more talented advantage than their opponents. Boston doesn’t know how to handle the talent that an organization has on its roster, or perhaps Williams needs to rethink the exact meaning of being talented in the playoffs setting. Anyway, talent alone isn’t enough to win, and understanding what else is needed is a talent that his team doesn’t have.
