Celtics backcourt player: The Spurs are a dynasty team, but they have never achieved a winning streak

defending champion Boston Celtics lost 2-4 to the opponent in the Eastern Conference semi-finals series against the New York Knicks and was eliminated. The Celtics also held a press conference to end the season after losing the series. During this period, the team's substitute backcourt player Payton Pritchard also accepted an interview with reporters, and he also talked about the team's performance this season and the special features of the Celtics.

When talking about the team's performance this season, Pritchard said: It is certainly a disappointing thing to end the season early at this stage, but for me I don't think it's a failed season. I never regard any situation as a failure, only when you stop fighting for your goal is that it is a real failure. Speaking about the speciality of the Celtics, Pritchard continued: What’s special about this team is the qualities of every player in the locker room. They are all real winners, real professional players, and people who are full of extreme dedication to the game. Pritchard also compared the Celtics with the San Antonio Spurs' dynasty experience, adding: The Spurs are considered a dynasty team by many, but in fact they have never achieved a straight championship.

In the NBA regular season this season, Pritchard made a total of 80 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.5 fouls. He shot 47.2%, three-point shooting percentage 40.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.5%. In the playoffs, Prichard averaged 27.5 minutes in 11 games, with 11.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 steals per game, 0.8 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%.

Although the Celtics were eliminated early, Prichard's performance during the playoffs actually had certain highlights. Pritchard is also able to show some of his due characteristics on the offensive end, and his scoring ability can also be displayed in many key games. Pritchard was previously considered by many people not a player who could play tough battles. However, from the actual situation, Pritchard, the new best sixth man winner this season, has indeed made considerable improvements in his ability. For the Celtics, they are likely to make some personnel adjustments this summer, and Pritchard, who has a lower salary, is likely to play a more important role in the team next season.
