In 1981:
- The Celtics won the title against a significantly inferior opponent with a supporting player winning the Finals MVP
- They lost the next year after falling behind 3-1 in a series
- Then the next year they had an incredibly disappointing series where they were swept
- They fired their coach and added a major talent (DJ) to win again in 1984
In 2026:
- The Celtics won the title against a significantly inferior opponent with a supporting player winning the Finals MVP
- They lost the next year after falling behind 3-1 in a series
- Then the next year they had an incredibly disappointing series where they blew a 3-1 lead
- We'll see what happens with Joe Mazz and if they make a major move. Here's hoping history continues to repeat itself in terms of another title.
