Last Season the Bruins got rid of their coach because he was supposedly too tough on them. They went on the dominate the regular season and got bounced in the first round by Florida who made it all the way to the Stanley Cup.
In the Stanley Cup Finals Florida lost to the Las Vegas Golden Knights who won their first Stanley Cup. Their first year coach. Bruce Cassady who was the man the Bruins fired.
This week the Denver Nuggets won their first NBA title. In one respect they had one of the easiest routes to the finals of any #1 seed. They had some help, beating a #8 seed in the first round a #4 seed in the 2nd round, a number #7 seed in the 3rd round and the #8 seed in the finals in five games.
That would be the same #8 seed that the Boston Celtics lost three in a row to and lost the seventh game in on their home court to.
It would save a whole lot of trouble for a lot of people if the folks in the City of Boston just admitted that the Redsox are at best a .500 team who can hit a bit and can’t field the ball.
No amount of runs is enough to save them from their defense and pitching. The sooner the team figures this out the better.
Bill Belichick took a lot of heat for his decision to try Matt Patricia and Joe Judge as offensive coaches last season. I didn’t have a problem with it. He didn’t have a team that had a prayer to win a championship and was iffy in terms of the playoffs so he took a shot and it didn’t work out.
Now he has a real Offensive Coordinator, his quarterback is a lot happier and he’s still likely going to finish at the bottom of his division because every other team in the division is either better than his or has improved more than the Patriots have.
Of course it’s football and all the teams ahead of him are one injury away from falling behind him.
Finally I have to laugh at all the sportscasters beating their breasts over the PGA merger with the Saudi LIV tour.
I don’t recall a single one of them saying Boo over the NBA’s bended knee to china. Do you?
