Did Neemias Queta prove he can anchor the starting center spot, or will Brad Stevens seek reinforcements? The collapse against the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid’s playoff transformation spark questions about defensive strategy, bench scoring depth, and next season’s true contender status. John Karalis of Celtics On SI and Tom Westerholm break down Jayson Tatum’s return to form, the Celtics’ roller-coaster ride, and what this so-called “gap year” means for offseason priorities.
