"You're okay not mentioning it, but once you do, I realize KD is truly tragic, even worse than LeBron. Everywhere he goes becomes a super team, yet he always loses to Hansen. It's so painful!"

3 to 2, after winning the King Mountain Battle, the Cavaliers are just one game away from advancing to the finals.
As for the Celtics, they find themselves in exactly the same situation as last season.
If they can't win at home, their season journey will end here.
Moreover, this season the Celtics have a stronger lineup, and failing to even reach game seven would be as demoralizing as it was for the 76ers.
To put it bluntly, in their understanding, as long as Hansen is there and Jokic keeps improving, it's like a cloud hanging over their heads that won't dissipate.
Just like the Bulls back in the day that overshadowed other teams in the East.
