The Celtics reshaped their team with the smart poor Zingas deal. I had Milwaukee winning the title all season last season. They've already won a title. So they've done the thing where they've proven it under the most pressure in the biggest stage. And yet every time they lose in the playoffs, including this most recent loss to Miami,. other than the year Middleton was hurt in 2022 and they took Boston to seven. It's funny to think about them because Phillies embroiled in dramas we'll talk about later.
