What makes Fisher think that the Celtics thought last year was their "last chance"? Did they tell him that?
hey, when you quit on yourself, you have to rationalize it somehow.
The real story is you didn't want it enough, and you quit in 2 games, 4 and 6 derek. It had everything to do with desire, but not because you thought at some point "ah screw it, we can just win next year"
What really happened was you looked down deep and realized you. wern't. good. enough.
I hope they keep lying to themselves and think it was "we can win later, ah well" scenario, it will make them easier to beat.
