Celtics aren't even remotely close to the spurs or thunder
Just watched a few minutes but looked at the play-by-play post-game and had the exact same thought.
The Celtic championship teams up until 2024 always had either the best player in the league or close to it, Russell, Cowens, Bird and Garnett.
We just haven't had that player since Garnett and have had very bad luck in the draft lotteries we were involved in.
Seems only a couple of years ago that we were the young, upcoming dominant team built around two all-star wings with very good veteran teammates, but not an MVP level player.
When do the salary cap nightmares that destroyed our roster start to kick in for OKC and San Antonio ?
