3 biggest holes the Boston Celtics must still address this offseason

The Boston Celtics have struck gold during the early stages of the 2022 offseason, as they’ve already managed to shore up quite a number of weak spots within their rotation that hindered their chances of winning banner No. 18 just this past year.

From the signing of Danilo Gallinari to the trade that landed them Malcolm Brogdon, Brad Stevens and co. have been quite active during the first month since the C’s Game 6 loss to Golden State and, with these endeavors, they have the ball club once again viewed as a legitimate threat to win it all come next season.

However, despite these impressive moves and transactions, though Boston may have gotten a bit deeper, there are still a few remaining areas of concern that must be addressed at some point between now and the start of 2022-23.

With this in mind, we at HH present to you 3 of the biggest holes found within the C’s roster that must be filled:

Biggest Boston Celtics hole No. 1) Lacking championship experience

We stated a few weeks back that, of the many things the Boston Celtics should look to accomplish this offseason, one of the more underrated objectives should be adding some players to the rotation with championship experience.

As has been acknowledged on numerous occasions since their NBA Finals defeat, the C’s simply looked like a squad who had never been there before when facing off against the highly seasoned and battle-tested Golden State Warriors.

Three of the players within the Dubs’ main core had already been to the championship game several times before this year, and this familiarity of being under the bright lights of the big stage shined on through on numerous occasions, especially early on when Boston took a 2-1 series lead after dominating Stephen Curry and co. during their tremendous Game 3 victory.

Now, as stated in our article that we linked to earlier, a less-experienced club may have succumbed to being down early and having home court advantage taken away from them.

However, thanks to their seasoned commodities such as Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and even Andre Iguodala (used as a leader on the sidelines), Golden State managed to remain cool, calm, & collected and, as a result, came home with their fourth title in eight years.

Now sure, one could make the argument that now with Boston’s magnificent 2021-22 turnaround and postseason run they have some wherewithal to get themselves back to the final round as soon as next season.

That said, at this point in time they only know how to get there, not necessarily how to win it all.

Having someone whose been there and done that added to the roster could be a great asset to have in the event that they find themselves on the big stage once again come the end of next season.
