If you want to complete this redemption story and win an NBA championship, which is the singular focus of the franchise known as the Boston Celtics, you're going to have to go back there.

And you're going to have to have a level of success.

Now, granted, the Celtics are pretty much a lock to be the two seed.

The only way the Knicks could jump the Boston Celtics is by winning their final three games and the Celtics losing their final three games, which is unlikely to happen. So obviously tomorrow, if Boston wins, it's over, Knicks are not going to be the two-seat. And they're not going to be the two-seat either way.

It feels like this is a redemption story for the Boston Celtics.

It almost makes you wonder if the Celtics and some of their players,

and Jalen Brown in particular, are they the protagonist in this story or the antagonist in this story?

It depends on the good guy or they are the bad guy.

That's the perspective, man.

But the problem with media or movies and television these days is it doesn't necessarily matter. No, you're right. The good guy isn't always the champion. No, you're a thousand percent right? The good guy doesn't always win. Nope. Sometimes the bad guy wins. One thing about yesterday's MEC game I was very curious about
