How far have the Celtics come?

Tomorrow night the NBA finals begin. The Steve Kerr-coached Golden State Warriors will host the Ime Udoka-coached Boston Celtics in game one.

At the beginning of this, his first season, Udoka emphasized three things he wanted from his players: share the ball, accountability, and gritty defense. No more being 28th in the league in assists! His players have clearly bought into his aggressive philosophy.

Steve Kerr has a very hard time keeping on his alleged Covid-prevention mask. He was also never bashful about standing up for his Democratic Party during the Trump years.

Despite Kerr's politics, the Warriors have perhaps the best player in the league in Steph Curry. Curry is a joy to watch. When his teamates Clay Thompson and Dramond Green are in sync, the Warriors are very hard to beat. As their coach, Steve Kerr is as solid as they come.
