Starting with the The storied franchise started strongly, but faced challenges and ultimately fell short of its goal of hanging a banner in the 2023 playoffs. The Celtics made some significant roster changes along the way, dealt with a coaching suspension about as well as anyone could have expected and had some major ups and downs.

Still, it’s hard to beat a team three straight times. And close-out games in the Finals are always unpredictable and tricky. Desperate teams usually play without burden or pressure, since everyone has them on the golf course the next day, anyway. So perhaps the Heat, as a No. 8 seed, are built for this. The resolve shown by this No. 8 seed might not be able to flip the Finals in its favor, but could still be enough to extend the series at least another game. And that’s all Miami aims to do Monday — push the series a bit longer and, in the process, invite the possibility that something could swing in its favor. Just rewind the postseason tape and witness how often the Heat defied the odds. They trailed the Chicago Bulls with roughly three minutes left in their AT&T Play-In Tournament game … they found a way to topple the No. 1 seed in the East (well, Giannis Antetokounmpo was injured for 2 1/2 games for the Bucks, but still) … they braved the elements in Madison Square Garden and rejected the Knicks’ defense … and, finally, they won a Game 7 in Boston which really wasn’t ever in doubt. “We have a very mentally tough team,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. “We do believe in that. We have a big goal and, from our standpoint, nothing has changed. It is extremely challenging to accomplish that ultimate title. We have a very stubborn and defiant group, and I think it’s good to have a little bit of defiance from time to time.” With Butler leading by example and by ...

The Celtics made some significant roster changes along the way, dealt with a coaching suspension about as well as anyone could have expected and had some major ups and downs. To reflect on a wild ride of a season that was likely doomed before it truly began for reasons beyond most of the organization’s control, take a look at the clip put together by the folks at NBC Sports Boston that we have embedded below.
