Are the Celtics done? | Slam N Jam

So if we're going to miss shots, we'd rather at least miss threes where our spacing allows us to get back and have that defensive shell. But if they're just missing so many shots and they're guarding in transition so often, there's going to be holes there.

Well, they're in a more privileged position at this point. Because they've won the championship, I don't think there's that desperation of, like, this is our last chance to ever become champions. There's a bit of that... A bit of that stability and already having won it. And I think that's a combination of like being delusional enough to think that you can make it out of this.

You'll never be recognized as a great player because if you're Tatum, if you're Brown, you've already won that championship. So I think that that actually is probably a good thing because...

forget about even the results just based on the history like you're saying like we know that they're able to turn things around that they have multiple solutions the way that they play and that they're shooting like absolute crap right now and I just don't expect them to shoot 25.0% again next game they're probably going to shoot 25.1% but even that will be a little bit of an improvement
