The Boston Celtics fell short against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, only one win away from completing a comeback after being down 0-3. The Heat confirmed they were the best team in Game 7 and took the win and the series.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce had a lot to say about this, putting the Celtics on a blast for not bringing the energy in a crucial game.
“I watched the first two minutes of how the C’s came out! I don’t like that energy! That’s not energy to beat you!” Garnett exclaimed.
KG compared this team to his Celtics and used Paul Pierce as an example of what they should do when things go wrong.
“One thing I know, Lord, when P (Pierce) get in there, he had two types of P’s. One P where he was like, ‘All right, come on y’all. I’m saying we should beat these guys. I don’t want to be out here all day,’ boom, we get out of here. When P wanted to blow somebody out, P get in the huddle and go… ‘Hey look, let’s go ahead and send a message to these n****s right here.’ We finna get in, and that energy was like, ‘Aw s***, we gorilla tonight!’ They didn’t have that.”
The Truth, who guaranteed a Game 7 win from the C’s, also chimed in on this series, saying that the Celtics didn’t pay much attention to Caleb Martin, which ultimately hurt the team.
“They should have put Martin on his ass a few times,” Pierce said. “He just kept going to the rack. He hit threes…I would have been like…”He goes to the ground. Imma send him to the baseline and put him on his ass. He supposed to fall. He supposed to take the hit.”
Now that the series is over, there are so many things that could have been done differently, but Pierce and Garnett aren’t wrong with their takes. The Celtics could have done so much more in this series, and they failed.
Boston Celtics Lost Game 7 At Home, Blowing The Chance To Return From 0-3
Everybody is speculating about the future of the Celtics now, with some suggesting they break their core, and others say they need to fire Joe Mazzulla, and a big chunk of them want the team to run it back next season.
This offseason can be very important for the Celtics, but they need to make the right decisions to make sure they will compete for many years. They have the talent to remain a top team in the East, but more things need to happen if they want to win the championship.
