The Boston Celtics overcame adversity of their own en route to an 18th NBA championship, so what can the San Antonio Spurs take away from this year's winners?
While yes, it's true that they had a relatively watered down path to the championship series — having gone through the Miami Heat without Jimmy Butler, the Cleveland Cavaliers without Donovan Mitchell and the Indiana Pacers without Tyrese Haliburton — they weren't tasked with worrying about the state of their opponents.Similar things can be said about the state of their own team, as well.
Regardless of circumstance, the Celtics played their brand of basketball. They had a strong core — worth noting one without an MVP, Defensive Player of the Year or previous Finals MVP — and utilized it to the best of their ability. Now, they're 18-time NBA Champions.Matt Guzman is a sports journalist and storyteller from Austin, Texas.
