After one of the most impressive turnarounds in recent memory, the Celtics found themselves two wins from another championship. The Golden State Warriors, however, won in six games after trailing 2-1. It was a disappointing result for the Celtics organization, and especially for young forward Jayson Tatum. After putting together an impressive playoff run to get to the finals, Tatum struggled on the biggest stage. On "The Bill Simmons Podcast," Simmons said he wished that Tatum was "a little more upset" about how the NBA Finals played out: "If you're the Celtics and you're the Good Ship Lollipop right now, it's going great. You're this young team. Everyone's got great contracts. Everybody likes each other. It came damn close. Do I wish Jayson Tatum was a little more upset about how the finals played out? How bad he was? Yeah, I do. I gotta be honest. "Remember what happened to Magic Johnson after the 1984 Finals, just being in exile. Just being Rocky IV in the mountains, just like, 'I gotta get back. I'm so humiliated.'" After an impressive offseason, Boston is returning as one of the league's deepest teams with a versatile roster. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have unfinished business Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum It wasn't the finish that young star Jayson Tatum wanted, but Boston will be back in the mix for the 2022-23 season. Boston has an impressive roster with depth that looks to build off last year's momentum. Plus, the team added veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari this summer. Everything will fall to Tatum for the upcoming season. After showing strong signs of development throughout the playoffs, Tatum struggled against the Golden State Warriors. Still just 24, Tatum can take another step forward in his development and become one of the league's elite players.
