A recent article by ESPN’s Tim Bontemps is probably not getting the best of receptions from fans of the Boston Celtics even if it does contain some important truths about the team.
And while it seems to fly in the face of the Celtics’ recent success this season, it is fair to point to the team’s rough start, and several seasons where the team clearly under-achieved with concern. With a very tough schedule kicking off from now through the new year, questions will linger about the future of this team until the new regime of Ime Udoka as head coach and Brad Stevens as team president deliver the goods with a postseason run resembling those achieved early in the tenure of Stevens as head coach.
In fairness, the article could have taken issues like the pandemic and COVID, in particular, more into consideration. But, the focus on how the team under Danny Ainge allowed talent to leave in free agency on a recurrent basis is not only true but a common complaint on this outlet as well.
