Many players have repeatedly mentioned how much that Finals loss haunted them, and how it has motivated them to put winning above all else this season.
But one of the biggest reasons for Boston's success in 2022-23 is the one of the biggest reasons why the team fell short in June: depth.
In those Finals, only three Celtics bench players saw more than 10 minutes per game: Derrick White, Grant Williams and Payton Pritchard. This season, that number has ballooned to six, with Boston's reserves posting some eye-popping numbers in the offensive rating department.We'll note the obvious caveat that teams have shorter rotations in the postseason. If the Celtics were in the playoffs right now, Pritchard and Blake Griffin likely wouldn't be playing significant minutes.
But in the present, the Celtics are the vastly superior team, thanks in large part to their ability to address their most glaring weakness from last year's Finals.
