The Boston Celtics came within two wins of an NBA title in the 2022 Finals, then regrouped with what has been described as one of the best offseasons in the league by adding veteran forward Danilo Gallinari and reserve point guard Malcolm Brogdon. Now, the team is the odds-on favorite in Las Vegas to win it all in 2023, so why is Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck saying his team is overrated?
Could it be to motivate them? Or manage expectations — or the pressure they can create? Or is Grousbeck simply sharing his personal concerns while the media blows things out of proportion as they are wont to do?
The hosts of the semi-eponymous CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast Cedric Maxwell and co-host Josue Pavon recently tried to talk their way through this question on their most recent episode.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their takes.
