New 76ers guard Patrick Beverley is giving one of his team’s rivals plenty of bulletin board material going into next season.
During the latest episode of his Barstool Sports podcast, “The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone,” the NBA star threw shade at the Celtics when a fan asked about Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown winning a title in Boston together.
Beverley’s response is sure to get noticed in Boston.
“No,” Beverley said. “Too much of the same player. They don’t complement each other enough.
“They complement each other but not enough.”
The outspoken 76er also pointed out where the Celtics should look to improve....
He’s not wrong that diversity of approaches helps but klay and steph seemed to do ok on the same team so there is always an exception.
I think the bigger issue is whether the east stays weak-ish? Does Miami gas out? Does Milwaukie do anything? Does Cleveland deliver on the promise they showed for most of last season now that they’ve had the chip put on their shoulder a bit?
Then there is the whole “Western Conference” to think about. Denver isn’t coming back weaker with a young team that just won the chip, they’ll be hungry as hell to repeat.
Great teams, teams better than these Celtics, have not won a chip, so there is always an element of luck and timing, the question is, can they get their additional role player pieces right and have the timing work with the ebb an flow of other teams? Honestly I feel like the last 4 years they had a great opportunity where if their team was ready and were going to win it, they should have as Golden State was slayable. They definitely shouldn’t have lost this year if they were going to ever get over the hump.

Great commentary!
