Gilbert Arenas has commented that the Boston Celtics did not perform at a championship-caliber level throughout the Finals. Instead, he suggests that their victory was primarily due to their overall superiority over the Dallas Mavericks, rather than exceptional play during the series.
In other words, the former NBA star guard believes that the Celtics won the championship more because they were the stronger team overall, rather than by delivering outstanding performances in the Finals.
