The Celtics 2024 championship run was a result of a dominant 64-18 regular season record that carried over to the playoffs where they lost only four games.
“It felt very personal the way they went about dismantling those teams. We know we’re better than you, but we’re not just gonna beat you. We are going to annihilate you and just absolutely decimate you in every way imaginable to the point where you’re gonna be calling for mercy by halftime. And to me that was a sign for me that this team is a little bit different,” said A. Sherrod Blakely on the latest episode of The Big 3 NBA Podcast.
Many elements contributed to the Celtics coming together to making the organization the winningest franchise in NBA history. From previous Finals losses that left a scar, to dominant wins over top-tier teams like Miami and Golden State, to elite defense resulting in stellar offense, Boston had the whole package.
While the season wasn’t pretty, ever player on the Celtics roster made a sacrifice for the the bettering of the team and it all paid off in the end.
A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn and Kwani Lunis discuss all that there was to know about the Celtics season which resulted in an NBA Championship and they give their player awards for the 2023-2024 NBA Season.
