For the last two years, Jae Crowder has made back-to-back trips to The NBA Finals with the Heat and Suns. The Garden faithful broken a bond between player and fan, and I’m guessing it also offended Crowder on a deeper, maybe more personal level. The Celtics at the time were a fairly starless team defined in large part by Crowder.
Alas, six months later, Crowder would be included in a trade to bring in a marque name and in that deal went not only Crowder, but everything he brought to those early Brad Stevens’ teams.
