The Celtics thought they ran out of steam in the finals after some of their players, especially Jayson Tatum, played a lot of minutes to get there. He’s still playing a whole bunch.

My exchange with Robert Williams tonight after Joe Mazzulla said he can be a huge piece of the #Celtics’ offense. Nice to hear Boston emphasizing how much more he can give them on that end. First, looking for his shot. Then, would be good to see him get back to his passing skill. pic.twitter.com/KGKCUItYLP – 12:24 AM

I asked JV about the #Nets lack of size vs #Celtics: “Brown & Tatum what they’re capable of doing at the size creates a different challenge for every team, especially for us if we’re going to start Kai and Seth. So it becomes how can we help those two guys.” It hasn’t happened. – 8:13 PM
