While fans of the Boston Celtics might be shocked by their team’s disappointing performance in the 2023 East finals vs. the Miami Heat, new reporting from Heavy’s Steve Bulpett suggests that the Celtics’ postseason struggles are no surprise to a few anonymous sources on opposing team’s payrolls. “There is a pattern of behavior that is common here,” said one unnamed head coach.
