My favorite analysis is the “every good free agent should go to the Lakers” analysis.
LeBron needs more help 😂
@@zacharyallen4211Not as much as Tatum needs
lol
@@Nostalgia9478AD is better than anyone on the Celtics other than Tatum
@@XaevinBron won a title with AD
Tatum still hasnt won crap despite having Jalen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Porzingis
Poor CHOKER needs more help
lol
@@Nostalgia9478he just got holiday and porzingus. And for years people said that brown and Tatum couldn’t win together like what are we doing here
Are they forgetting that Kristaps Porzingis not playing and Denver Nuggets are the defending Champions with the 3xs MVP?
Look man, if you have such a perfect runway to the finals, no Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell goes down, Knicks only have 6 rotation players; we have to look at your season and be able to honestly say you’ve failed.
This Celtics team is too good and has had too much injury luck to not win in the finals. Or at the very least lose in a 7 game series.
If your delimiting factor is “well porzingis was out”, then honestly you were never gonna win a chip anyways. The Knicks would never say “well JB was hurt and OG couldn’t play” if they got to the finals and lost.
Tatum and Brown have a great roster. If they don’t win a chip this year the C’s need to reevaluate that duo. That’s just a fact
@@thecanmanificationWho’s the better player, Jokic or Tatum? Who’s the defending champions, Nuggets or Celtics? Who has the better supporting cast and experienced team? Nuggets or Celtics? If the Mavs, Thunder, or Wolves advance.. I agree. If it’s Denver? Absolutely not.
@@Christian-eq6pq Why would they not be able to beat the Nuggets, but would be able to beat the team even better than the Nuggets?
@thecanmanification Celtics won't reevaluate the duo of Tatum and Brown. They gave Brown the biggest contract ever in the NBA with his 300 million + extension, and Tatum will top that contract this summer. They'll have two guys, each with 300 million+ deals.
@@thecanmanification lol the knicks wouldn't say that if they made the finals????? They're saying it right now before they're even in the ECF !!!! The hate for this celtics team (which at this point is just jealousy) is absolutely unreal. Never in my life have I ever seen such scrutiny for a team that is 8-2 in the playoffs and have won every game except one by double digits.
Sports media doesn't make sense. They say it's win or bust for the Celtics but at the same time they also say no one's beating Denver. Make it make sense?
Basically they've seen Boston beat up on just about every team in the league this year with the exception of Denver so they hold it against them. Two regular season games but w/e media.
Donovan Mitchell without losing AD will always mean the complete depletion of the roster. No bench, no competitive starting 5. It's basically what the Phoenix Suns did. It doesn't work.
💯
Big difference is that Suns have no playmaker
Lakers would have 2 in Bron/Mitchell
Plus, Donovan is only making 35 mill next season so Lakers wouldnt have to give up too much.. Basically Rui, AR, and JHS would make it work
@@Nostalgia9478 That's not too much? It's pretty much everything the lakers have left.
@@Nostalgia9478 Lebron will be 40. Trade Lebron for Mitchell
@@taylormichaelpatrick Brons not going to Cleveland unless he can play with Donovan there.. You know he holds all the cards since he has a player option, right?
Literally every ESPN segment is about "Lakers" who've been at Galveston since first round.
Jaylen Brown has six months left to win his 5 rings
😭
2x ECF ring NBA championship ring
Best record ring best offensive rating ever ring 😂
He ain’t even gonna get one lol Jokic getting them outta there
For a team that has only lost 2 games you would swear the Cs just came back from a 3-1 deficit the way they talk about them
Their opponents have been weak so far, to be honest. They won't be tested until the finals.
@@philb.1502only team to get to the conference finals in 10 games the only team that has a point differential of 10+ they have been handling business all post season and like the OP said the media and casuals are acting like they are struggling
@Averagedre Dude. Who have they played? The opponents have been weak so far. Beating Miami without Butler( their best player). Beating Cleveland without Allen and then Mitchell as well at the end? Calm down. The Celtics have had an easy road.
@@philb.1502 that excuse makes no sense because the Celtics are missing KP no team is fully healthy so try again
@@philb.1502 exactly they’ve played lesser teams and have been handling business like i said they have the best point differential so far in this playoffs unlike okc nyk and den
"Celtics had a BYE this entire playoff run" lol
They hate Boston
They definitely had a BUY these playoffs.
Lol that had me dying
Tatum is a crybaby Brown got no handle and throws himself into people and white is their best player. No rings for the beans.
100 true, free ride until the western team sweep them
No one talks about the warriors winning their first ring against EACH team without their starting point guard 1st round to finals, EACH TEAM
Just cope lil bro😂
No one talks about lebum making SUPERTEAM in Miami then another one with love and kyrie when there wasn’t another and still ending up with a 3-6-1 finals record
they talked about it ad nauseum until they won their 4th ring
We literally talk about that junk all the time😂.
@@Ali-fo4uv that was not a super team. super teams do good when one star leaves. The heat literally fell apart The moment LeBron left he was the super team. He is the person that made them a super team. He’s what made them over the top.
I don't get the rhetoric that the Celtics losing in the Finals is a failure yet everyone including Legler recognizes that Denver is a huge threat to thwart their title chances. So if the Celtics lose to the Nuggets, the defending champions in a close series, how is that a failure? Make it make sense.
They’re acting like we were on the same side of the bracket as the BUCKS, 76ers…
They’re always bringing up their injuries but whether or not they were playing we weren’t on their side of the bracket
They have all the experience and have been to finals and have been in the East Conference Finals for most in recent memory. They just need to win it.
Here we go again with the LeLaker talk. I honestly can’t wait when NBA goes back to NBC. As long as it’s no longer controlled by Disney and BSPN. Bring back Bob Costas and the John Tesh intro.
Pat4Clippers it keeps you coming back. Flip Flopper. Eddie Mush 👴🏻
😂😂😂 I understand your sentiment but good luck with your wishful thinking it's not leaving ABC anytime soon.
So which it, non Celtics fans? They have the easiest path to winning the chip or if they don't win, it's a failure? Make up your mind.
I don’t even think people will give the Celtics credit even if they DO win the championship. They would deserve respect but I think because of how weak the competition is in the east, I can totally see the Celtics haters not giving them their flowers when all said and done.
1000% Championship or bust for the Celtics.
😂😂😂
If they don’t win Tatum has to be traded. They ain’t paying a fraud 370 million
They wouldn’t even be a #2 seed in the East
must be a chiefs and warriors fan
Bruh I think media personalities have forgotten how hard it is to actually win a title. They make it seem like it’s so simple…
One series at a time. We're on to Indy/NY.
Losing Jokic is like losing to Jordan? really? Jokic is good in this Vanilla era, During MJ pinnacle era, centers were Monters of strength and speed, which Jokic or Luka are neither, don't get it twisted dude.
Hey Greeney I got a solution for the win Friday and Knicks play ECF Sunday dilemma. Knicks win Gm 6 in Indy Friday and play ECF against Celtics without OG on Sunday and if OG is ready on Tuesday we bring him in to see where he is in his progress. Knicks can play Game 1 without OG and just try to steal Gm 1 and 2 before coming home to MSG.
How long ago did Legler say Dallas vs Denver in WCF?
Before the playoffs even began!
Next year Western conference if things stays like this will be even crazier because Memphis should be back to play well hopefully, Spurs can only improve, OKC, Minnesota, Mavs and Nuggets will still be as strong. The only teams I see possibly regressing are Lakers, Warriors and Suns actually because of their age.
I don’t think it’s a failure if they lose a competitive series to the nuggets. That team seems impossible to beat in 4 games.
Losing to Yokic is not like losing to Jordan! Stop the cap!😂😂😂Espn is super funny...
My Lakers have won 8 chips since 1986
Celtics have only won 1 chip simce 1986
My Lakers are the Celtics DADDY!!!
lol
You also forgot to mention when the Celtics 1st round pick died of an overdose and another one of their star players basically died on the court between 86 and now but w.e
@@pacdaman15557 So that caused the Celtics to CHOKE in the 2010 and 2022 Finals??
You guys even choked a 3-2 lead to Turkoglu in 2009
Keep the BS excuses a comin but w.e
@@Nostalgia9478 2022 took one of the greatest performances in a series ever from a top 10 player of all time who changed the way basketball was played to the same degree as the shotclock's introduction and you gonna say that the 23 and 25 y.o star players CHOKED?
Isn't 2009 the same year KG's knees literally exploded and he regressed heavily?
@@pacdaman15557 Aka you CHOKED in 2010/22
Isnt 2009 the year that the Celtics blew a 3-2 lead and lost a game 7 at HOME to the Orlando Turkoglus??
lol
Keep the BS excuses a coming
Lakers are your Celtics DADDY!!!
It's #BostonCelticsNation Here In The Building
Why nobody talking about the block Luka had on Shai right at the end?
Because millions of those happened in the last 80 years of basketball games played
It doesn't fit their narrative that "LUKA DONT PLAY DEFENSE"
Why are you hyping it in the first place?
@@ZUKOVULAbecause it was a significant stop at the end of the 4th?
@@TheDropInn Mavericks were in control for most parts of the game, "Significant" is not the word to describe that play because it wasn't a game winning or game tying or a momentum changing block.
So let me get this straight the media will constantly harp on the Celtics having a easy path because of all these injuries but will ignore that Jaylen Brown was injured since game 1 of the ECF last year and Tatum got injured in game 7 of that ECF.
ESPN just can’t help themselves with a laker and lebron mention even when there not in the playoffs..🙄🙄
ESPN producer in the earpiece: "Now make it about the Lakers"
C's are winning 80% of their playoff games so far. It's not easy to win 80% of regular season games. Yes, injuries. And, no, they're not even close to firing on all offensive or defensive cylinders. KP will be back but they can let him heal up indefinitely for the meantime.
Whatever happened to congratulating a team for advancing first.
Legler looks really funny without glassess.
Idk man it feels like the Cavs best players gave up. I didn't see Mitchell limping in game 2 and he randomly gets a leg injury? And then you got levert and then allen who didn't want to try and plsythru a rib injury
bro if they were to trade Donovan the first team Cleveland should go to imo is OKC they got so much to offer and would improve the OCK to an actual chip contender.
Donavan Mitchell don’t want to be in OKC . He wants big market so he can party 🎉 every night after every game
ECF if Celtics meet the New York Knicks, it won't be a walk in the park for Boston
As a C's fan, that's the matchup i want.
@@fabricealluma7236 you want a tough matchup to add legitimacy to this easy playoff run. But at the end of the day the Knicks are missing 3 key players. So if the series is close it’s not a good look for you guys.
With OG,yeah.😊
Denver vs Boston
My Boston Celtics We Sent Cleveland Home And Trying To Bring That. Championship Back To Boston
The overreaction comment of this series goes to:
@Enlightened_SpursFan • 5d ago
Cavs in 7, I said it before the series began. Running the Celtics off the 3-point line exposed their offense tonight
Load management. All of these injured players were on a strict load management regimen the entire season. Their bodies never got built up to where they need to be for these playoffs. The Celtics took care of business with their health took good care of business with the regular season so here they are. Winning. Stop making excuses for them they've won eight out of 10 12 out of 14 would be a different story. They are dominating as they should be.
If Kristap is not healthy then Boston is NOT getting past Denver Nuggets. Jokic built different and we’re all learning that now
Everyone says whoever comes out of west better than Celtics so how is it championship or bust for them? Go wolves
Wolves no chance I'm sorry but the nuggets win
Celtics are better than the Mavs.
The only team in the West better than the Celtics are the Nuggets
I would only consider Nuggets on the same level as the C's.
We are all seeing Wolves are not there yet.
Injuries are apart of the sport Boston has to play who’s in front of them plus they won 60+ games for a reason they wanted the 1 seed they wanted home court it’s supposed to be easy for a 1 seed
8:58 For 2 days in a row, Get Up has mentioned Brooklyn as a suitor for Donovan. What are they going to offer? Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas and 10% of the Brooklyn Bridge? Even if they get Mitchell, they'll be nothing more but a play-in team, what's the point? No idea why they keep pushing the narrative.
Cavs fans want cam Thomas
Why is Hahn saying that Malone and Stockton never won a championship because they ran into Jordan? The reason why Malone and Stockton never won a championship because they choked constantly. This should be year that Boston wins the championship but they won’t. I think Mitchell stays in Cleveland for another 2 years or goes to the Knicks. Mavs in 6. If Luka didn’t choked game 4 the Mavs would be in the WCF right now with a couple days off to rest. The Mavs should wrap up the series at home in game 6. Luka who should’ve been the MVP finally played like the MVP in game 5
The Jays ran into LeBron James in the ECF as aged 20 and 19 and took him to 7 games as LeBron turned supernova AND the CAVS got some straight up BS calls... c'mon now tell the whole story
My problem with the celtics they need to play team ball instead of one guy having the ball and others just standing around
They're Lively!
I 10000% disagree with The West being so much better than East maybe because players are hurt but 76ers with Embid and Maxey, Bucks with Dame and Freak, and of course the best team in basketball The Celtics those 3 teams just as good as any Western Conference team except for Nuggets.
If I'm the Cavs, I'm saying no to any trade from the Lakers that doesn't involve AD. lol at Rui and Reeves getting it done. Foh
Wow! A lot of talks about how the Celtics cake walk in the east due to injuries but not the same scrutiny on Lakers winning the bubble tournament which missed half of the players. 🎉😂
so we wont be favorites in tyhe finals but we are still expected to win it all as a celitics fan since 94 I'm here to say its a disappointing end if we don't win 18 ONLY BC who we are as a franchise I love detroit too but they wouldn't be under this microscope if they had the exact same team so its the franchise not the win
No talk of the 3x MVP and his jaw-dropping game against the Wolves?
Imagine the maverick’s winning with kyrie only scoring 12 points/ Washington/Gafford now makes Luka Mavericks legitimate and could finally win a Nba championship 🏆 this season.!!
Celtics beat Cleveland twice WITH Donovan playing out of his mind. Cleveland didnt have enough either way.
Celtics are the first team to make it to the CF’s let’s give them some credit as being elite.
I don't think ita being elite aa much as getting lucky playing 2 team where their most important player are injured.
@@Chrisp707-2 teams they still would’ve beaten anyways
@timsweeney684 considering what miami did to them last year and the fact that they still manged to take a game I'm not sure that statement can be said with confidence. As far as miami. Now Cleveland.... probably would've been the same.
@@Chrisp707-Boston dominated miami THIS SEASON this is a completely different Boston team than the years past Boston still would’ve beat the heat even with jimmy outside of game 2 miami only lead for 54 seconds that series jimmys not changing that
@@Chrisp707-it’s the nba. It’s going to be tuff no matter who’s injured
Celtics have the easiest path because they were the 1 seed. How do these “analysts” not acknowledge that. Injuries aside, it pays to be the 1 seed
We will take reeves and 3 picks for Mitchell
as a Celtics fan poud of my Celtics for ending the series and moving on to the ecf 🙏🏼💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. and as for Donovan in my opinion I think he should be traded either to the heats or the Knicks.
Celtics need Porzhingis back at least for the Finals. They won't beat Denver without Porzhingis.
Tatum needs more help
😄😂🤣💯
With or without pozinga, jokic will sweep 🧹 Celtics all by himself
@sting114 No way. If the Celtics have Porzhingis, it will be a toss-up series. A 50-50 series. I would pick the Celtics in 7. Without Porzhingis, Nuggets in 6.
@@philb.1502 that’s why Washington traded away porzinga for a bag of chips
@sting114 What was Washington's record this year? They dumped the high salaries. They got rid of Beal too. They're rebuilding
I can tell the future--(Donovan Mitchell will say if you trade me to any team except the Knicks be prepared that I’m for rent and I will not stay.)--😮😮😮😮
I agree with you on that he's a better fit for the Knicks than the Lakers.
If the Lakers have a healthy Donovan, James, and AD, next year, I 100% guarantee they win the NBA title. I see some folks don't get it, but it really isn't that hard to surround that type of talent with enough to win. Not that hard at all.
Barstool Utes would like him on their roster!
It's gonna be bust then. Whoever wins the Minnesota/Denver series is this year's champion.
They are the 49ers of the nba if they lose the finals. Stacked team every year easier conference and no hardware to show for it!
The Bucks did the same thing for Giannis championship run the east was riddled with injuries. He faced ATL in the ECF Then out of all teams in the West the Suns. where was Denver they sucked still. Media praised Giannis for destroying way lesser talent. Will the Celtics have the same Golden opportunity a easy chip and they bash them instead.
It’s nothing like losing to Mike 🤣🤣
Oh god why are we still discussing the lakers , maybe wait till June when the finals are over, we have great teams and great players to promote but yall wanna speak about lebron . Whats gonna happen when he retires???
They'll talk about wemby or ant man or jokic. They talk about whoever is the face of the league what brings views duhhh. And guess who's still the face of the league... lebron. So guess who they have to talk about lebron and whatever team he's on.
Mavs in 5 vs Knicks i've been saying it since february
Knicks aren’t beating the Celtics lol
♿️ vs ♿️
Oh boy..knicks coming in Fiesty ready to rock boston in trouble!knicks in 7!
Stop recruiting little people to the team!! You need athletic bigger guys who can shoot. 6'6" and over.
The celtics have been a "championship or bust" team since the pre-season and so far, they are meeting all expectations. You can talk about teams being banged up all you want, that doesnt make whats going to happen any less worthy. The celtics are on their way to a championship title this season and may all the haters on this espn channel hate. #banner18
I think Denver gone win but it's not over yet. They talking like it's a done deal. What if wolves win the next 2 .
I hope he goes to the Lakers. If they give up Reeves and picks, the Lakers get worse.
Winning in the east isn't a flex. I think all the west teams playing rn could beat the celtics. I think the East has won 6 in the last 20 years. And lebron was 3 of those. The raptors in 2019 imo I wanted to see them win but we all know if the warriors didn't start losing their whole team to injuries they wouldve 3peated.
Bucks
04 Detroit,06 Miami, 08 Boston, 12-13 Miami,16 Cleveland,19 Raptors, 21 Bucks. That's 8 years out of 20
The winner of the Western Conference Finals is the winner of the NBA finals. And it would be hard not to bet on Nuggets doing a repeat.
Keep telling yourself that.
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fb Don't stop, believing!
Jim brown REMAINS the NFL GOAT and yes even over Jeff George.
Boston can’t blame kyrie anymore
Boston is favored to beat Denver right now
Aren’t you praising the 30 point merchant shai who only cares about getting his 30 points
It's always is for the Cs
How is Greeney going to say that 2022 Celtics were better than the Warriors when the Warriors won the finals? Dumbest take by far.
Celtics CHOKED
Its not rocket science, MENSA
lol
this might be boston easiest trip to the finals, no bucks no heat no sixers to go through. if they don't play their best against denver its an embarrassment
Bucks weren't a challenge this year, Celtics did play Miami, and the Sixers have never really challenged Boston. Celtics in 5 or 6 against all those teams.
If KP doesnt play they dont have a chance.
Ledger why are you even on the air, you'll cut the celtics no slack, but your professional media expert which is just so much crap also say you cut lebum and the lakers so much slack Same With Lowe, Greeny, and Hahn
Bro, can we please get off the Lakers FA nuts.. Joining the Lakers is like choosing career suicide.
Celtics 6th conference finals in 8 seasons
2017 lost to Cavaliers 4-1
2018 lost to Cavaliers 4-3
2019 lost in 2nd round
2020 lost to Heat 4-2
2021 lost in 1st round
2022 beat the Heat 4-3
2023 lost to Heat 4-3
2024 ?
east was weak as @$$ this postseason. they have no chance against Denver if Denver comes out the West. Minnesota has a better defense than the Mavs and look what the Joker is doing to them? no chance for Mavs.
while pacers and knicks still battling for runner up in the east to boston😂😂😂
7:18 Goat James things
No matter what player it is it's always Lakers D. Mitchell will do nothing for The Lakers they need defense Lebron and AD stayed healthy mostly this year which means both get seriously injured next year. Forget The Lakers Lebron has held that franchise hostage set them back about 5 years from being real contenders especially in West.
Boy that place about to lose millions after this event. They should ask Cleveland how much money They lost when LBJ took his talents to Miami 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tatum is the new harden. Remember this
Such d riding to jokic
Boston Celtics 2024 NBA champion 🏆
FMVP: Jaylen Brown
They Trying to recruit for the Lakers? I wish they were Doing this when Kobe was on the team! Haha
Tatum and Brown cry too much
Now watch the Lakers mess this up 😂 plus we don't even have a coaching staff
Zach Lowe the King of hyperbole while saying nothing.
Boston lucky asl but boy I would love to be a Beanhead fan this season😢
