LeBron James offered a possible explanation for why the Celtics fell apart so stunningly in the second round of the playoffs against the Knicks.

By the time Tatum and Brown are back on their feet together again, there's a good chance that they won't be bored in pursuit of redeeming themselves. But unfortunately, it'll take some time for that to happen,

As a 4x champion, 4x MVP, and 21x All-Star, LeBron James knows what it takes to succeed, and he knows a great team when he sees one. This year, while the Celtics may no longer be in the championship mix, they were a tough team to beat at full strength, and they've clearly shown enough to earn the respect of LeBron.
