Anderson’s bench reaction alone, made the Noel trade worth it
24 celtics beating anyone in the league sorry ass mavs and denver pretenders show their biggest weakness
There is no easy path. They still have to play 82 games to make the playoffs. Then win 3 series to make the finals and then beat the best from the other conference. None of it is easy
Who cares? They would have won anyway. I'm really sure, that no team would have beaten this Celtics squad in 7 Games.
They can't say that Luka/Kyrie is the greatest offensive backcourt ever...AND that it was an easy path
The Celtics championship is a sham. They didn't face a single team at full strength. Put up the asterisk
The celtics themselves weren't at full strength either. Cut the excuses, it's getting old. Injuries are part of sport and it's up to every team to overcome them. Not celtics fault others lack the depth to counter starters being injured. That's a them problem and doesn't diminish celtics championship in anyway.
I wish they would have faced them. Believe it or not, The result would have been the same.
They won. Enough said
Easiest road ever
Context: Jrue Holliday >>> Dame Lillard
Interesting you didn’t mention the 2023 Nuggets whose opp win percentage was 53% and they played two play-in teams in the last two rounds. Stop trying to put asterisks on championships man. Just say you hate the Celtics like everyone else.
Definitely considered them. They were my number 6 team but decided not to go with them considering how much good players they went against even with bad records; LeBron, Durant, Booker, Davis, Butler, Edwards. Sorry if it got misconstrued but I’m not trying to put an asterisk on any championship, just talking about level of difficulty. Celtics were clearly the best team this year and deserved it.
Where are the Lakers 2020 ? First round against a poor Portland team with Lillard who missed the last game Houston with Westbrook that was back from injury And in the finals, Dragic and Adebayo get injured
Dude you're really reaching. Dame's trailblazers, Houston with Harden and Westbrook, healthy Nuggets that Clippers blew a 3-1 lead to, and arguably Miami's most clutch roster. Lakers were just that good in 2020. Even the Heat blew through the Pacers, Celtics, and Bucks. Adebayo was only out for g1 and g2. I don't think you can say that 1-2 players radically shifted their chances. Lakers were the best team in the league.
@@tylercampbell6272 Houston with Harden and Westbrook was the worst version of the Harden's Rockets, and Westbrook wasn't even 100% "Adebayo was only out for g1 and g2." wrong, he played game 1 but only 20 minutes. He didn't play game 2 and 3. Why can't i say that 1-2 players radically shifted their chances, when those 1-2 players were in 3 most important players of the team. Dragic was so good and clutch against Boston. And the fact that Adebayo didn't play those games, it's a massive impact on the result, knowing that he was the primary defender on AD, and you can be sure he wasn't near 100% when he played. If 1 or 2 players didn't change anything, it's not me that reaching but the guy who did this video, look at the Celtics run, Heat without Jimmy and Rozier, 1 or 2 players, not a big deal, Cavs without Donovan and Jarrett Allen, same and Pacers without Mathurin and Haliburton. I didn't say that the Lakers weren't the best team, every team in this top 5 were the best in the league at their time. Sorry if my vocab is bad, english is not my primary language 🙏
U left out they had to play Jokic and Murray
Definitely one of the easiest runs, but I don't know if I would go for one of the 5 easiest ever. The Blazers were being called the best ever 8th seed and a lot of people had them beating the Lakers, which of course they wouldn't but to think it was just an overwhelmingly easy round for the Lakers isn't true. Then the Rockets with Harden and Westbrook were a very good team, and whilst not as good as the Rockets with Chris Paul, they still actually beat Chris Paul with OKC who was having one of his best ever postseason rounds, and they beat that OKC team without Russ as well. And then you have the Nuggets, which overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Clippers who were probably the favourites to win the championship that year, and Murray was playing out of his mind in that postseason. And then the Heat, who beat the Celtics and the Bucks to get to the finals. And you've mentioned the injuries, but the Heat won game 3 without Adebayo and Dragic, and Butler was playing out of his mind in the finals as well. And another thing to consider is the environment of the bubble, which removed the Lakers having homecourt advantage. So people always point out that the Lakers didn't play the best teams from that year, but they did play the teams that beat them, and this means that it is different to when there are majority bad teams in the League and one good team. It's one of the reasons why people shouldn't hate on this Boston run too much, the West was stacked, and all the west teams were healthy, yet Boston still demolished the best team out of the west, and considering how easily they beat the Mavs, it probably would've been the same against the Wolves or the Nuggets (potentially).
@@sammcdermott78 I don't remember them being called the best ever 8th at all, knowing that they rarely do anything in the playoffs except for the 2019 run, they often go out in the first round. Lillard was out of the game 5, Ariza didn't come to the bubble, so defensively, with Melo, Nurkic, CJ and Lillard, they were one of the worst defensive team of all time. They barely get to the playoffs and i just check, a lot of media predict a win by the Lakers. Don't need to argue, you said it all, this Rockets team beat OKC without Russ, it tells you how bad OKC was. Despite CP3 having a great season, he was old. Nothing to say about the Nuggets, they were a very good team, not at their Prime yet, you can argue that the back to back 3-1 deficit overcome may tired them a bit but the Lakers were just better. Just because the Heat won a game without Dragic and Adebayo doesn't mean they're better without them. And if you remember correctly, Butler was tired asf in the game 5, without 2 of the 5 best players of the team, he had to do everything, you can't win like that. But i agree with your first point, one of the easiest run but maybe not in the top 5 for sure. For the Boston hate, i don't think saying that it was an easy run is hate, it's a fact. All the teams they played in the east were injured, so they came fresher than Dallas. But they still beat them with an injured Porzingis. I don't think it would have been the same against Denver, it's matchup thing, Boston has players to defend on Luka and Kyrie, or Edwards but no one can defend on Jokic, neither an aged Horford or an injured Porzingis.
Lebron had some weak ass conferences
Nah, he just made it look easy.
@@tylercampbell6272 sure. Would you argue any of those teams were actual championship threats? Any one of them would have lost against the west.
@@tylercampbell6272 *Made it look easy because the best teams he faced were a declining Celtics team coached by legendary choke artist Doc Rivers, an overrated Bulls team, and a Toronto team that was getting swept if it ever made the finals
everyone said the mavs were gonna win cuz apparently their playoff run was harder but Celtics handled them easy! GO BOSTON ☘️
Wow i cant believe i forgot about Jonathan Simmons
Celtics won because management managed to do every right chioce. They kept JB, they got Jure for free... All of this after several blows to the team. Good front office is important can't complain if they ran laps around other teams. This is coming from their hater. Is just facts tho.
The thing is is even if it's been easy, being healthy and injury prevention is part of what being an elite athlete is. The deep roaster allowed them to not over use their star player and even if someone gets hurt, they are still a contending team. Porzingas got hurt but they still dominated. So the chip will always be deserved
"Injury prevention" as if every athlete doesnt do that, its all luck who gets hurt. Look at Giannis, fittest dude alive and the most random injury ever happens non contact. Luck
The Celtics still barely won 3/4 of the against the Pacers. Each of the 3 by 2 or under pounts
Win is a win. There is a reason Celtics swept the Pacers
*The Celtics showed off their abilities to make comebacks and close games against the Pacers, who were evidently the toughest team they faced
Style points may matter in college football, but not hoops
you weren't just wrong, but damn wrong
The 2009 Lakers lol. Get out of here bro. The west was so stacked back then.
lol Tyrese in the games he played against the Celtics still lost and Donovan Mitchell went 2-1. No team was was beating this Celtics team in the east and it definitely showed against a healthy mavs team with the Celtics being the injured team.
Damn son.

Congrats Celtics
Mavs in 7
Good list bro. Actually digging deep instead of using all teams from the past decade like many others 👍🏽
No, the detriot pistons was robbed of that championship, that foul should’ve never been called
Idk if you would take a random stranger's opinion into account, but I think it would be better for your channel's searchability if you shortened your name. Maybe something like "TheCasualFan" or "BasketballCasual" idk just an opinion!
Uhhhhhh...Where's Larry and Magic???🤔 You've mislabled this video...HORRIBLY!!!🙃
Yes
Super happy for KP! Je did his thing in NY, went to Dallas and did not fit well next to Luka plus was injured, did well in Washington, now he has a chip coming in Boston. Love this for him. He can really be the center piece of a team when healthy.
If he can stay healthy the Celtics might be a burgeoning dynasty
He was ready for the moment. The moment wasn’t ready for him.
Until Boston beat them by a mile
..... at this point, Dallas has the perfect team, the perfect role players, the perfect group of developing talent, with the perfect chemistry and the perfect attitude........ Their only off-season move would be to dump Hardaway Jr's salary in order to pay the young studs they have already have! And have to say, considering this whole team is three months old, i knew they had made some great moves, but for next year! So now we're playing with house money with an unstoppable backcourt with extra weapons, but more importantly, they know how to defend the paint AND the perimeter with their switches utilizing several long defenders...... We get to see how good Boston is at passing the ball during this series...... Barring some tragic injury, i have the Mavs in six.......
Dawg ngl A for Effort but what type of video is this, this shii succ bru its juss highlights of you talking abt what happens in the Mavs team and shii wit no edits or nun i thought it'd be like a mini movie or sum fam try again pls
No hating shii like I said A for effort but damn someone gotta be real 💯 wid u wether Is nice or nah
Ngl you sound like a certified base head, NO EDITS? bruh if you wanna watch a movie go to the movies. He legit explained things in an informative way and showed what they did in the 90s and early 2000s. If YOU feel you can do better than GO DO IT.
It be people like you who say dumb shyt just like “books cant teach you nothing” 😂😂😂
I feel the mavs have had a hard time attracting big-time free agents. It seemed nobody wanted to come to Dallas unless they're washed.
Going with the Celtics in 6
Brown still overpaid
Don't worry other players will get paid like him
hes not tbh, in 5 years most stars will make more then him and a little overpay is worth it to keep the core together
@@crystalizedExposed Yea
He’s 1 game away from being worth every penny
Say what u want but just call him champion and finals MVP. Worth every penny in my book😊.
Wow.. 22year gap..
Nice to see the face behind the voice!
I would have guessed the nuggets too but they lost 😞
Kyrie is 14-1 now 🤦♀️ losing to the timberwolves😪😪
I thought I recognized him.. that’s one of the sharks on shark tank!
Thank god we can void his contract now.
Correction: 1975-1980 was the 6 year stretch not 1976-1981
