The Boston Celtics have to get the job done.
There’s no more room for excuses at this point.
They have the best team, they’re at full strength, they’re well-rested, and they have a homecourt advantage.
That’s why ESPN insider Brian Windhorst believes the pressure is on Jayson Tatum and the Celtics.
Talking on Get Up, he stated that it was the first time in 11 years that an Eastern Conference team had been favored in the NBA Finals, adding that it’s just the third time in the past 25 years that it has happened.

The Celtics have been to this stage already.
They’re battle-tested, and they’re more mature and more experienced than they were two years ago.
The narrative around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown has always been that they can’t win or coexist, and they’ve fallen short in the playoffs multiple times.
The Celtics have been the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA championship since the preseason, and that has to amount to plenty of pressure.
It’s one thing to get the job done in the regular season, and absolutely no one can deny that Tatum and Brown are incredibly talented.
Still, this is the kind of pressure that comes with playing for a franchise like the Boston Celtics, and they’re going to have to stop an inspired team that has nothing to lose and plenty to win.
