The Boston Celtics’ incredible comeback from an 0-3 deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals came to a heartbreaking end as they fell short in Game 7 against the Miami Heat. The Celtics had been on the verge of writing their names in the history books, but the Heat proved to be more prepared to close out the series and move one step closer to the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Former Celtics star Kendrick Perkins did not hold back his disappointment with the team’s performance, labeling their season as a complete failure during an appearance on ESPN’s NBA Today. Perkins expressed his frustration, stating, “A complete failure, a disappointment, a bust. Want me to go any further? Yeah, I will.”
“Here’s the thing. At the start of the season,” Perkins said.“this was the team that was the favorite to win it all. They added Malcolm Brogdon, they had nothing missing for as winning a championship.”
Perkins pointed out that the Celtics had started the season as the favorites to win it all. With the addition of Malcolm Brogdon to the roster, the team seemed to have all the pieces in place for a championship run. However, they were unable to capitalize on their potential and fell short of expectations.

Uncertain future looms for the Celtics
The disappointment of the Celtics’ playoff exit raises questions about the team’s future. One of the key areas of speculation revolves around their head coach. Ime Udoka, who was expected to be the next great coach for the storied franchise, was replaced by Joe Mazzulla, a relatively inexperienced coach. Now, with the season ending in disappointment, the question arises whether the Celtics will stick with Mazzulla or consider making a change in the coaching staff.
Another area of uncertainty is the future of Jaylen Brown, one of the Celtics’ key players. There have been rumors that Brown could be traded, adding fuel to the speculation about the team’s long-term plans. While Brown has been a significant contributor to the Celtics’ success in recent years, the team may be considering a shake-up to address their shortcomings and build a stronger roster.
As the offseason begins, the Celtics organization will undoubtedly reflect on their performance and assess the necessary changes to position themselves for success in the future. The fans in Boston and the state of Massachusetts, while disappointed with the outcome, will continue to support their beloved team, hoping for a brighter future.
