Live Bar, March 24 news recently, former NBA player arenas talked about Celtics in the “Gil’s Arena” program.
Arenas said: “The Celtics have never been good enough to compete for the championship. Let’s just say that they are a team touted by the media. Look at their lineup. They have two point guards. If smart shoots five times and three points, he will never touch rim if there are three shots. He will defend but not be a pure point guard. And White, I don’t know where he is, whether he is a point guard or what?
“Then they have two small forwards, Brown and Tatum. One of them plays the shooting guard and the other plays the power forward. They also have an old ghost, no athletic ability center Horford, their center is the least athletic ability.
“Look at the bench again. Grant Williams didn’t bounce. He was not Barkley, and his athletic ability was not as good as PJ-Tucker. This team is like this. Who will defend Yanis in their starting? Brown, okay, you put the second best player in the team into foul trouble. At the offensive end, Horford could do nothing but stand on downtown and prepare to shoot.
“They have no possibility of winning the championship, no possibility. If they want to win the championship, the only possibility is that they enter the finals and then meet a team like the King or the grizzly bear.”
