Why losing to the Nuggets in the Finals could have been beneficial for the Celtics

Celtics "Oh, make no mistake.The Nuggets would have throttled them."A 3-point heave's worth of thoughts on the Celtics ...



▪ Two weeks after their season ended with a Game 7 no-show, it remains a bummer that the Celtics couldn't overcome the Heat - but mostly themselves - to reach the NBA Finals.

Celtics "They're sending me memes of Curt Schilling's bloody sock.It's just all these random numbers, like 70 texts."Duncan Robinson might have grown up a Celtics fan in New Hampshire, but the Miami Heat forward did his best impression of a WWE heel on Monday night at TD Garden.In the fourth quarter of the Celtics' season-ending loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, Robinson converted on a layup.

The Boston Celtics aren't dead yet, winning Game 4 against the Miami Heat to force a Game 5 in the Eastern Conference Finals.The team that has been set as the underdog has won every game in this series, which could be a bad sign for Boston, who is favored by eight points in Game 5.The Celtics finally had a strong shooting performance in Game 4, and they also held Jimmy Butler to just 9-for-21 shooting from the field.

The 2022-23 Boston Celtics season isn't over, but it's on life support.But it's not the fun kind of life support where the doctors are cautiously optimistic, discussing options with the fan base and working through the next steps after this setback.It's the really unfun kind where everyone involved with this team is gathering at its bedside, preparing for the worst and angling for a position in the will when the executor divvies up the estate.

After a wild finish in Miami last night where the Heat secured a walk off win, they now go on the road to play the in-state rival Orlando Magic.Orlando is sitting at 13th place in the East and sporting a 23-33 record.Last night's game probably shouldn't have been as close as it was against the league's worst team in the Houston Rockets, but nonetheless secured the win.

Duncan Robinson's potential Miami Heat return could be a spark

The Miami Heat didn't make a trade at the trade deadline and they have yet to make an acquisition on the NBA Buyout Market.However, they may be getting some immediate help back into their lineup on Wednesday.While Tyler Herro still isn't certain to play in their next contest on Wednesday, Duncan Robinson is again traveling with the team, and this time to Brooklyn, as they look to face the Nets.

Did Orlando Robinson deserve a standard contract?

When the trade deadline came and went without any Miami Heat additions, Orlando Robinson may have expected to have his two-way contract converted into a standard one.But with the signings of both Kevin Love and Cody Zeller, the Heat hit the maximum of 15 players on standard contract.That means Robinson will stay on his two-way contract.
