One of the most clutch buckets from Brown
Remember when they was saying how the Celtics fold in clutch moment now once we do well there no credit at all
Exactly. They hadn't been tested, they sucked in clutch time. Then they grind out a gutsy win and all they can talk about is Indy. FOH ESPN
Pacers Lost the game, Boston didn't WIN it
NBA fans: Celtics need to win a close game im tired of these blowouts. I donât trust them in the clutch.
Also nba fans: Celtics trash how did they not blow this team. They just got luckyđ
Correct me if Iâm wrong, but pretty sure the series is 1-0 Boston? That would mean they did in fact WIN it. Pacers did choke but acting like the Celtics had no role in that (Jrues defense on Hali for the turnover, JB chasing down Pascal for the steel, hitting the shot, etc) is just stupid. You Celtics haters will do anything to discredit them
They literally folded and the pacers folded even worse. Not folding would be if JT made that initial 3 or that turn around midrange to only be down 1. And then tie the game after the free throws. Not Pacers up 3 with a timeout forcing a backwards pass with JB all over siakam to even give them a shot at tieing. Celtics will literally get destroyed by the mavs or timber wolves
They acting like Boston supposed to blow everyone out by 40
NBA fans: Celtics need to win a close game im tired of these blowouts. I donât trust them in the clutch.
Also nba fans: Celtics trash how did they not blow this team. They just got luckyđ
They should the level of talent is crazy to be going OT vs scrubs
@@erraticentertainmentthese are the same pacers that gave a lot of teams problems during the regular season: including the healthy bucks which were supposed to be the Celtics only east 'arch rival' so your dumb argument is invalid
No, but nobody is expecting them to get blown out as well.
No cap Iâm a lakers fan but they be doing the Celtics so dirty. They expected to go 16-0 thru the playoffs nd every time they lose itâs a huge topic but if they win tight games âthey not playing good basketball â
If our offense is awful scoring 133 points Iâd love to see how many weâd score if weâre playing great offense đ€Łâïžâïž
155 again lol.
Brown made a clutch shot
Thanks captain obvious
@@luisc5323 no thanks private a-hole
Whatâs next? Are you going to also inform us that Boston won the game? đ
đđkâ@@luisc5323
Lol assholes đ
Austin Rivers doesnât trust the Celtics and says they have not played a good game yetâŠâŠ But the Celtics are 9-2 in the playoffs and most of it without Porzingis who makes our offense almost unstoppable. Only person in the media that have given the Celtics props has been Rachel Nichols.
Please start giving Haliburton the Harden treatment. That stepback is a 5 way flight type of travel
That part
Imma borrow this, unless trademarked đ
Glad someone else noticed that too. đ
Him & Jaylen brown was traveling like crazy
â@@greatone9102Jalen travels and carries quite a bit for a professional basketball player
Pacers lost the series in Game 1. You donât get a game like that backâŠ.
Yeah maybe, but you never know with the Cs
No you don't, but the series also doesn't end after 1 game. It's a 7 game series for a reason.
One game? Ok Paul Pierce. I bet you still had Lakers in 6 after they lost the first game to the nuggets. đ€Ą
Nah they still got it. They been tested this season
That statement has absolutely no root in reality
The hate for the Celtics has gotten so corny at this point. Why is Stephen A acting like the Celtics have so many holes in their game? They went 64-18 this year and won the east by 14 games. Pacers played really well last night, and the Celtics had an average game at best and still won
They showed a clip of Brown throwing down a dunk on someone during the half time commentary last night, and one of the ladies says "Thats what he do!" and I am 99.99999% sure I heard Stephen A under his breath say "Sometimes"....absolute unabashed hater and they don't try to hide it.
That's the problem. The Celtics become average when it comes to the playoffs.
OMG God forbid anyone mentions the obvious fact that Boston loses games they shouldn't lose regularly in the playoffs. Because they beat themselves. It's happened for years. That's why they're .500 at home in the playoffs. It's not hate it's facts. Their biggest opponent can be themselves, that's actually a compliment saying when they're goo they are so good no one can beat them. They get away from their system and start jacking 3s . As a Celtics you have to know that! Been seeing it for years with this team
You Celtics fans are so sensitive! Can't accept an obvious criticism of your team Lol
@@JanPeterSpecht-jf9pgthey are 9-2 these playoffs goofball. Thatâs not average. Will probably be 12-3 heading into the finals or who knows maybe 12-2
The criticism against the celtics is crazy this year, and they are 9-2 in this playoffs actually
Stephen A hating on Tatum and the Celtivs even after that big win, but will praise Edwards and call him the next MJ after shooting a horrendous 6/24 from the field in an elimination Game 7 LUL That's how you know these ESPN bums really hate Boston. Perkins is not even here but the aroma of hate is already strong
NBA media: Celtics need to win a close game im tired of these blowouts. I donât trust them in the clutch.
Also nba media: Celtics trash how did they not blow this team. They just got luckyđ
The hate is well deserved. The Celtics have repeatedly shown that they wet the bed when it matters most. I don't expect this year to be any different.
@@vaheed7518 ah yes because more wins then any other team over the last few years is definitely shitting the bed ok pal
Facts !!
@@vaheed7518 so you hate a team who goes to the ECF 6 out of 8 years but love a team like the Lakers who misses playoffs and can't make it out of the first round? Nice logic clown đ€Ą
ESPN trying so hard not to give the Celtics any credit for this win. The Celtics have lost ONLY 20 games this entire season. The way they talk is like they blow 30 point leads every night and lose. They just had 6 days of rest, obviously a little rusty, but after a game like last night, they have all momentum on their side in game 2.
That's because pacers gave it away in tragic fashion
Nobody is talking about how they are still missing Porzingis who unlocks there offense Celtics in 5
Iâm a Celtics fan but to be fair theyâre missing Mathurn who Iâve always thought is a dawg. I think KP is more important to us than he is to them. I donât like AL against the pacers because they play so fast, gotta give Indiana credit they much better than I thought
Theyâre missing this theyâre missing that theyâre already stacked as is they should be blowing teams out with that roster đ€Ą pacers in 7
Lmao we talking bout porzingis? They still play 5 out without him yeah he is a great piece but he not the main guy maybe he is more of a dawg than all Ur stars and that's why U really miss em
â@@elvisrolon1862if pacers don't take game 2 after giving the Celtics game one it'll end in 5. The coach took the blame cus it he didn't players would be pointing fingers for sure. Hopefully they'll be ready mentally
â@@elvisrolon1862 Celtics aren't stacked tho. They have two stars who aren't quite superstar. AD/lebron , KD/Booker is stacking
Iâm tired of the Media talking about the Celtics home court on the playoffs over the past 3 years. We are a different team. We wonât have Smart or Rob Williams anymore. We have Holiday and Porzingis. We are 5-2 at home this year! 9-2 overall in the playoffs. This year.
yall still not winning a chip lil bro
@@jm18803if youâre so confident letâs see the bet. Easy money no? Go ahead throw a grand or 2 on the Celtics into winning if youâre SO confident.
@@jm18803weâll see
Bro not confident in mazzulla cause he's trash when it really counts
@@jm18803you calling someone lil bro on social media dont give you any cool points you dweeb đđđ
Just say y'all actively root for the Cs the lose. The hate is crazy, media puts unreasonable expectations, Cs meet them and then they move the goal post. Literally outscored the best offense, Stephen A "There offense is awful." Cs havent blown a bunch of leads this year, just factually incorrect.
In the past 76 years youâre really wondering why the Celtics are hated? Your comment and being oblivious to it is literally the reason why
Youâre definitely 16 years old go read a book kid
Stephen a has no idea what heâs talking about, best offense in history and itâs âawfulâ
@@chimpc123cope
@@supadupa39 I'm not wondering why anything, I have yet to have someone give me a reasonable take. Feel free to tell me why they're hated, will some actual solid reasoning. Cause it seems like hate to just hate.
Man just said the Celtics offense was awful against the number 1 offensive team in the nba , and still won âŠ.. I want someone to actually deep what Stephen A JUST SAID
P
I do too they might get swept. They their chance yesterday
Boston scored how much? Didnât they score MORE than that prolific Pacer offense?
How is that awful offense the best scoring offense ever, beating the Pacers playing at Indyâs pace?
Yâall discredited Boston way more than you did the Pacers, and the Celtics beat the Pacers playing Pacer ball.
Your hate is ridiculous.
Celtics win by 20: they havenât been tested by a good team. Canât say theyâre legit
Celtics grind out a clutch win: why is it so close? Why arenât you blowing them out?
Celtics lose their 1 game every 2 weeks: they suck and they will lose the finals
The media is getting caught up in their predictable narrative
ESPN has become pro lakers and anti Celtics
Because Celtics are better everytime than the Minneapolis Lakers or LA Lakers.
Howâ@@BlackBeardPT
nothings changed lol
They love Boston. Fym. Why do you think the nba rigs it for them every year? There is literally evidence to support that
No they're not,they read comments and like you stalkers anything that has to do with bron they have to mention itđđ
ESPN: Celtics don't win clutch time minutes.
Also ESPN: Celtics have no business letting this be a close game.
Give Boston a break, they haven't played since the 15th until last night đ
Nah I want them to win but they playing like trash they need to hear it. Hopefully this motivates them to prove the media wrong
ESPN with the ultimate glazing of the pacers đ
they hate Boston. If Boston lost that game, you'll hear all kinds of derogatory terms from Stephen A
They just tryna prop up the Lakers
Bruh the pacers never get talked about all year long they are finally forced too now
Celtics deserve this criticism
ESPN and all sports media literally disown the idea of talking about Pacers all year.
still hating on the celts man
Bro that team strash
@@kapsoneskidlol
The national media narrative around the Celtics is honestly just pure comedy at this point
Right, because they've won a championship with this roster. Oh wait, they haven't. Who'd they lose to last season?
@@markbartoszek8585they lost to a team that they beat handedly in this yearâs playoffs⊠your point?
As a Celtics fan, I gave them a C last night, and they still dropped 130 and outscored the high-scoring Pacers team WITHOUT Porzingis. They hate the Celtics lol
You gave them a C, so why are you complaining about the media?
â@@jstdunSmartest Celtics fan
Here's my ultimate take on this series after watching last night's game: Pacers showed us 100% of their capabilities, Celtics only played about 50% (and without KP). If the Celtics don't wake up, it'll still be 4-2 C's
how is that their best when they turned it over 22 times but i agree ,i and most think the celtics are just 1000s times better
Porzingis will return tho
The pacers were not playing 100%. I love how people show that they haven't been watching the pacers because it's obvious. The pacers have done this all season. High shooting percentage. Hitting all kinds of shots. The turnovers were the issue. Reason or record wasn't better is because of our defense. Before ot Boston was below there scoring average. We played solid defense against a very good offensive team. The pacers were at about 80% I would say Boston played about 60% due to kp not being there. Not saying we will win. But we aren't the type of team to just lay down. We figure you out and we adjust all while scoring over 120 a night
Iâm sorry but the Celtics needed a game like this itâs been too easy now the media needs to relax and ease on the Celtics because every game the Celtics have bad or they almost lose where is the same energy when they beat a team by 20 so when Boston wins by 20 are we giving the same energy.
Not even. Celtics kill this in 4 or 5 games and I honestly canât stand them. Pacers are lucky to even be in the ECF because everyone they faced was heavily injured and thin
Why do analyst hold rookie and second years against Tatum and brown ? They donât do it for no one else in the league
Yes they do, KAT only started getting appreciated last series against the nuggets
â@@hobonolen KAT didn't get close to what Tatum and Brown did in their rookie and second years
They hold every season of Luka's career against him and had the nerve to say he has the most pressure this playoffs as if he hasn't been in the league for only 5 years. It's not only Boston.
@@statik4961 thatâs cap ⊠we talking about the playoffs âŠ
@@hobonolen kat hasnât been in the playoffs and heâs getting more praise than Tatum and brown
Continue to complain about the Celtics. In the playoffs a win is a win man and this one is quite demoralizing for the pacers. Ainât nobody trying to hear about udoka they just won 64 games with mazzulla and we try to act like the offense wasnât awfully stagnant under udoka in the finals. Also not sure if they make the move for KP under udoka which might mean they wouldnât have even gotten Jrue stop it.
Iâm tired of people acting like ime udoka has this unbelievable coach. The Celtics choked in the finals and blew multiple games in the playoffs and no one ever talks about it
Why do yall always bring up the 64 games as if that means anything in the playoffsđ
@@mattsell2361facts nobody really remembers Ime is the coach who decided to play drop coverage on the greatest shooter in NBA history in the finals lol
Mad dog bringing up games from
1943? đđđ
Those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. Literally if they just watched that game and that play.... And when they were in that moment wouldn't have done the exact same thing that caused the previous two teams no matter how far back.
@@TCrimson05t man shut up lmaooo
SAS called the Celtics offense "pathetic" in their win, but lays on praise and optimism on OKC on their loss. SAS is full of it.
The games in Indiana will determine the series⊠Boston is undefeated on road in the playoffs⊠the pacers are undefeated at home ⊠if Boston get 3 or 4 series is over
Why is stephen talking like the celtics played a bad game...
They didn't play a great game defensively but him saying our offense was horrendous is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
@@paulauger2609 rightâŠ
They blew their BEST chance, but they didn't blow ANY chance
StephennA starting to sound like Skip Bayless
Halliburton was cheeks for like 3 months and dude decided to renew his superstar subscription right before the ecf
To be fair, dude got injured
yeah he got hurt and siakam was getting acclimated to the team. watch out for this team next year with ben mathruin, heck they can still make this a series
@@triggatrey2112man everyone is injured . That siakam trade is what did him in
@@Letstryagain1267 who is everyone? Thatâs a broad statement to make. You know that stuff does have an impact on a players play, right?
Nah theyâre only in the ECF because they were healthier than everyone else. They wonât have this luck next year
Score 133 points but the offense looks offense. Not to mention Ime âs offense was way worst lmao. These dudes are clowns
These "commentators" have been lying and gaslighting us about the Celtics all year that their narratives make less and less sense the further we go. We are 9-2 in the playoffs so far and Tatum almost had a 40 piece double double last night, but Tatum needs to step up and the Celtics are unreliable. Yeah, sure buddy.
The thing is buddy .. you expect for Tatum to consistently drop a 30 piece⊠at times brown or white have been playing exceptionally better than him ⊠it doesnât help when all the Celtics wanna do is shoot 3s ! Donât get me wrong I expected the Celtics to make it to the finals from the east ⊠but at times they tend to let the other teams catch up ! Cmon cavs almost pushed it to 6 games and with game 2 if Iâm not mistaken they won by more than 10 ? Same thing with the Miami series almost got pushed to 6 games ⊠I was expecting Celtics to make 2 sweeps just because of the â superstar â they claim Tatum to be
@@moneymark404
"Almost got pushed to 6 games" We still won both in 5. Hypotheticals mean nothing.
"We let other teams catch up" Yes, because these are the best basketball players in the world. You expect us to blow every team out every game?
"...because of the "superstar" they claim Tatum to be" -he almost put up a 40 piece double double in a game we all agree wasn't his best.....
Also, Porzingis will be back soon and he is our X-factor.
Sports media is so terrible... So much criticism goes to the Celtics even when they win.. 9-2 in playoffs btw and both games they lost the other team had their best shooting nights. Edwards can go 6-24 on an Elimination game and claim he had Murray on "lock" (He had 35pts btw) Sports Media praises him. Jason Tatum gives you a 30+ double double with a win and he gets scrutinized...
Make it make sense.
Feels like I'm watching Indianapolis Sports Net đ The level of hate for the Celtics is insane. Especially from so-called "unbiased" "analysts"
Yeah...the media favors Indiana đ Every round of the playoffs the media predicts the Pacers will lose. Stop it
How when everyone else talks about the Celtics and been talking about them. The facts is yall played good defense but pacers let that go bc no one has ever lost a game points btw game with two clueless turnovers over with in a game of 10 seconds left in a a post season. This is going to game 7
Saying no ball movement is crazy when Horford is getting wide open looks cos they are moving the ball. Problem is itâs Horford taking shots that usually porzingis takes
Exactly. Horford had 12 open 3s and only made 3 of them. If you watch when jt and jb drives they get double team and that creates open shot. Espn just hating like crazy.
literally bru. stephen A n shannon dnt b knowin what dey b tammat
Every time horford shoots im just like imagine if porzingis was shooting that đ
The Celtics offense looked terrible, but Indianaâs offense looked amazingâŠ. But Celtics won scoring 133 points. The media hate on Celtics is just wild
Celtics lost a total of 2 games in the playoffs and people acting like Indiana has a chance lol
They CLEARLY have a chance. Pacerâs unbelievably choked last night, but itâs one game at a time. This Celtics core has a knack for being soft in hard moments. KP is going to be rushed back as well.
the pacers are the only team in the eastern conference that can actually keep up with Boston so yeah they do have a chance
@@gibranleon8221 Indiana wonât play like that again. They played their best, Celtics played close to their worst and still took the W, essentially a spirit bomb for Indiana. Last night was Indianas biggest opportunity they will get this series. Celtics in 5, if not 4, mark my words. Indiana put it all out there last night and came up short, the teams in experience really showed down the stretch and Indiana just doesnât have the talent. Why couldnât Indiana close it out in OT? - because they got outplayed. Chalk it up to what you will, but winning doesnât discriminate between almost, choking, etc.
Pacers will always have a shot unless they go down 3-0 in the series
@@gibranleon8221yet they just showed you they werenât soft đ€Ąđ€Ąđ€Ą
Getting tired to hear SAS always bringing Udoka, specially whenever he talks about the Celtics offense. I've watched the every game that Udoka was in Boston and what won them games was their defense, because most of their offense was just Tatum/Brown ISO, just taking turns. Also it's a completly different team now, you have different players with different characteristics which makes it impossible to replicate the defense scheme that they had before.
Please just give us close games like thisđ Best of luck both teams and Health we can agree no matter the sport Blowouts are unwatchable My Apologies
Georgia TCU Natty, 2017-18 Finals, Heaps More
Boston will SWEEP this team. Things are a bit different when youâre not playing a hospital team for once. Pacers are about to get a rude awakening đ„
All the pressure is on Boston sorry to burst your bubble
Sure lol. They got a gift while shooting 20 more free throws than the Pacers. The pacers havenât lost a home game since early March, but they will get swept
"once again they blew a double digit lead this is what Boston does" đ
Except everyone has dropped double digit leads these days. It happens all the time to every team these days
@@jammer9941yeah losing a ten point lead in todays nba honestly means nothing and should not be criticized at all
yup, when you live and die by the 3 and when al horford thinks hes a jump shooter step curry, yeah they're lucky they didnt lose this game, because the pacers are playing with house money, they're young, healthy and their bench actually puts up 20+ a night, unlike other teams, pacers play non selfish team basketball,. 40+assists, 6 guys with double digits, NBA is A TEAM SPORT, people still don't understand that.
the FT disparity is once again crazy. knicks went to the line 66 more times vs indy. in game 1 boston had 30 FT attempts, indy had 10. i mean how many personal fouls, offensive fouls, traveling calls, and 3 second violations can the refs call against indy? its absolutely nuts. pacers did not play a perfect game, but they outplayed Celtics. refs did everything they could to help the big market favorite advance yet again. the only way indy could beat the refs vs. knicks is by posting the greatest shooting % in nba playoff history
Thanks for noticing I watched the whole game the refs weren't hiding who they wanted to win
Not sharing the ball? Celtics had 30 assists.
Iâm so surprise & happy for the pacers & they made it further then I expected them to go fr đ„đŻ
If the Celtics don't win i all, its cuz they don't have Ime Udoka as their coach

Too bad he was a dirtbag...
You mean the same coach who choked in the finals and blew multiple games throughout the playoffs? Stop acting like ime was a Demi god

The NBA media has lost all credibility. Yâall should be ashamed of yourselves.
How this is amazing criticism and they definitely deserve it. If the Celtics donât step up they will lose in the Finals. Tatum needs to wake up
Why?
Yet youâll be watch by nba media tmm anyways lol
@@erraticentertainmenthow is it valid criticism? He said their offense looked better under Ime which is a flat out lie if you actually watched the games. he said their offense is too much iso yet they average more points and assists as a team in the playoffs than the Mavs or pacers. Theyâre just talking to talk they donât actually know basketball and honestly itâs poisoning casual fans who donât really pay attention that much
@@michael7361Nah the fact that u think that is crazy. U think they are better under Mazzula. Yeah no point in even arguing that clearly you havenât watched a game yourself.
Their offense looks terrible. Yet they outscored the high flying Pacers without Porzingus. But Pacers offense isn't trash. But it scored less points. But the Celtics is trash, because they won, but not how you wanted it. I see. This argument makes no sense, and it just sounds like sour grapes.
Well said, SAS!
ESPN going harder on the Celtics than they were to the Nuggets
Where was all this Pacers hype from SAS when they were playing the Knicks?..It was ALL about NY in that series. 1 on 1 ball is about slowing the game down at certain points (especially when your leading) but no team constantly moves the ball on offense for 48 minutes. Celtics had the best record during the regular season and have the best record (9-2) so far in the playoffs BUT the guy who averaged 1.5pts in 8 games (5-23 from 3pt) at a fashion college, STILL has a problem with the Celtics and the way they play..Porzingas not playing the last 7 and a half games plays a big part in their ball movement and defensive sets stupidđĄ. Tatum had 36pts, 14rb and 4 or 5ast (10pts in OT to Pacers 11pts as a team) and this Bird face thinks he had a bad game. SMFH
"what are you doing? What are you doing?" đ
Why do they have to bring Lefraudâs name all the time, why?.
Zero acknowledgement of Tatum's dominant first three quarters and 10 points in OT including the dagger three. Not to mention 12 boards and savage defense the entire game, including smothering Hali on the final shot of the game. Dude had 36, 12 with 4 assists and three steals, with a plus/minus +20. Celtics were -15 in the few minutes he was off the court. But Ant Man and his 6/24 game 7 is the second coming of Jordan.
The craziest thing is how the media puts all this pressure on Boston to win. You would think they are the defending champs or something.
I like how the coaches owned up to the mistakes..great coaching!
this game 1 is like the CAVS vs WARRIORS GAME 1 2018 Finals.
Lol Stephen A saying the offense looks disgusting when literally the Mavs do the same thing. Going against mismatches relentlessly is literally what Kyrie/Luka does everytime. Stop hating on the Celtics
The Nuggets blew multiple leads during their series ainât nobody talking about that
âTheir offense looks awfulâ about a team that just had 3 players put up 90 and 133 as a team. đ
Like Stephan A âs new fitsđđŸ
No mention of composure no mention of Clutch , no mention of confidence no mention of the experience playin a factor
Pacers play BEAUTIFUL basketball. Constant movement worth everyone involved. You love to see it.
Pacers learned their lesson. They will take this as a positive since they are a resilient team. They will win the series.
Haliburton really need to stop turning the ball over in 4th quarters. I know he not the only 1 but he been doing in the entire playoffs. He mite need to get wit Jerry Rice & do some hand drills or somethin. His ball handling in moments & lack of awareness is puzzling for someone talented as him.
same for JT and Jb, 8 combined turnovers a game, when are these 2 going to play like a team instead of HERO ball? i'm a celtics fan, tired of their turnovers, thats how teams kill you
Doggie really only has 80yr basketball references đ
Porzingis is the X factor, they canât win the title without him because he stretches the Celtics offense out exceptionally
Whoâs paying these people. Keep it fair and talk facts!!! Donât hate
You have to have an inbound play to get the ball in up 3 with 10 seconds!
I believe this will be A 7 game series
Hard to believe that teams can keep Blowing leads at the end of Games and keep recovering. Horrible lost.
Agree with SA..with utoka or any other experienced coach this team with the talent would be difficult to beat !,,,
Huge choke job by the Pacers. I expect the Celtics to blow them out in game 2.
last two minute offense of regulation was AWFUL. shoutout the defense and JB tho.
Props to Carlisle for saying the loss was on him. Mad respect and it's a coach you want to play for.
Boston here, and SAS is totally on point on this one.
Team USA taking Tyrese Halliburtonâs Olympic jersey away
Yall acting like the Celtics arenât 9-2 in the playoffs right now
The same guy that said on national tv that the thunder will be on the western finals lol
Halliburton should be wearing that Reggie Miller choke sign sweater he was wearing after beating the knicks in game 7 all day today!
1:12 ESPN getting in on the action âLeCoachâ.
As a defender all distractions count as defense %50 and %100 mental thatâs why being a great defender is harder than being a great scorer
Bill Nye The Sport Guy made some soild points.
Rivers is actually a good analyst. He should do this more often.
First of all home court doesn't matter to Boston given what they do on the road. It doesn't mean anything to them. It means more to the pacers than anybody else. The Boston Celtics played a OKAY game. 60 percent in the first half for Indiana . That'll come back down to earth.
And I've also tired of people bringing up Udoka like him not being the coach of the Boston Celtics....is not HIS fault. That man was over there doing some foul s***. Go talk to HIM about that.
3:29 Mad Dog what? đ 5 times?
Not the LeCoach headline đđđ
Go Pacers !! Shake it off !! đđ
I didn't know Austin played for that many teams đ
Can we also put emphasis on how Pacers got only 10 Free Throw attempts while the Celtics got 30 FTA đź
I saw the referee line-up and expected this.
Boston answered the call last night.
Nobody talking about these fouls is crazy.
I wanna see more mad dog and shannon overlap
I speak on behalf of the Celtics Nation, we don't want to hear any praises from these hypocritical media when we win the Championship.
Where did Austin buy his suit from JC pennyâs?
Don't expect the media to give boston any praise till they lift the trophy.
