The Boston Celtics Are Great...But Vulnerable
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 12. 2023
- The Boston Celtics currently have the best record in the NBA at 24-6 and were red hot going into their game against the Detroit Pistons who were on a 27 game losing streak so it seemed like the Celtics would coast to an easy win. Fast forward to the second quarter and the Celtics were down by 21. Boston would survive an overtime, but it highlighted some of the flaws this team has. So far the Celtics have looked great with their additions of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, but we still aren't confident this team can win a championship.

I don’t think the almost pistons loss is indicative of anything, great teams step off the gas all the time to opponents they think are way below them. Their adjustment at half time overcoming that deficit shows what they can do when they’re locked in
Didn’t the 73-9 Warriors lose to the 17 win Wolves that year?
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fbno, they didn't. But they almost lost to the 76ers who had 10 wins
@ikedatike2533 Ahhhh yes you are correct. I had my teams and years mixed up. That was the 17 win Lakers the Warriors lost to. My point stands any team can beat any team during the regular season.
It's not stepping off the gas. It's Tatum hogging the ball and making bad shot selections. How many bunnies did he miss going to the rim yesterday? And all the missed 3s!! The gotta stop with chucking that many threes. It's great when they go in but how efficient is that though? They win easier when all 5 are scoring near equal and there is ball movement. They're not coming back from a 20 point deficit against a better team.
@@puidemare2337And yet he still does things that win games with his defense and playmaking, and oh yeah, even the last shot in regulation was a good look he just didn’t make…
Need a retrospective of “The Process” of the 76ers
Yes, do the process 76ers
I'd personally wait until Embiid leaves or signs a bigger deal. He is their biggest grab, if he leaves, it was absolute failure
We need to wait until Embiid leaves
But so far it’s been a massive failure
i don't think a true retrospective of the process can be done until the embiid era in philly is over, whether or not it results in a title.
The retrospect: Ben Simmons is trash
You know the Celtics had to make that comeback purely off seeing all of Twitter clowning them at halftime.
So because they struggled with the Pistons in a meaningless December game they’re vulnerable? Every team plays bad games against all teams. Why are viewed differently?
My guess is they have the best record in the league and were widely expected to blow the Pistons out before halftime but instead were in the business end of a blowout until they battled back to tie up the score at the end of the 3rd quarter. I give props to the Pistons, they fought like hell and gave it a valiant effort. The Celtics are too good to be playing down to inferior teams.
@TheyCallMeSledge you hit the nail on the head. Real contenders don't put themselves in that position. When teams are worse than you, you put them down immediately. You don't play with your food. Otherwise it bites back. They were lucky it was the pistons who are the worst clutch team in the league. They try that with almost any other team, they're walking out of TD Garden with an L.
@@sworddash2365You’d have a point except they did win the game and while they need to stop playing down to the competition, same time, they’ve slugged the best teams in the league and teams that have been viewed as contenders all season.
Y’all are just salty your poverty franchises can’t compete like they can 🤷♀️
@@TheyCallMeSledge yes they played down to a bad team in Detroit, but doesn’t all good teams have a few of games like this at some point in the season? Because we all know in the playoffs they will be playing way better teams than Detroit every game in a series.
@@sworddash2365 bullshit lmao. championship teams often have games where they struggle against bad teams.
Vulnerable when they are not complete. Almost invulnerable when they are whole. It takes really abnormal circumstances for them to lose when they are complete. I watched the tape on their 6 loses, all except the loss to Indiana fit this and all 6 losses were winnable games decided at the end game. Their biggest loss was to Orlando but they were without Holiday and 3 starters were injured in the game with Porzingis only playing till the start of the 3rd quarter with Boston up 8.
Same as always will lose to top team wher star outplays tatum
now we have multiple stars, so more people to rely on@@xavierb9061
Celtics have one stinker and we making videos like this 🤦🏼♂️. Team has the best record and that starting lineup with Brown is unbeatable.
yeah this video was a bunch of nothing
@@mrmangotahiti the pistons section was just to give the haters something to chew on tbh
I don't think anybody on the C's was like, "Let's go out and dominate the Pistons!" before the game. They probably went into it feeling guilty about having to kick the Pistons while they were down.
Dam the consistency has been top tier!! keep it up boys
I really love this channel it’s preserving NBA history in such a cool way
Blow out the clippers and the Kings on the road but yet let’s talk about how they almost lost to the Pistons at home 🤣
shit happens in an 82 game season
happens to all teams.
@@whitemamba0312exactly they didnt get the memo Pistons not trying break that record and Played like game 7 of ECF AND Boston didnt get the memo til 2nd half
I think that it’s their East title to lose this year
In terms of the East, they have the perfect counter for Milwaukee and they have the best starting lineup
They actually don't have a counter for Milwaukee. They won by 3 in November and Giannis missed a lot of open layups. Since then the Bucks have taken their game up another level. I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat Milwaukee in a 7 game series this year. Especially if they keep improving as Dame gets more comfortable with the team. It's just too hard to guard them. You have to double Dame past half court and if you do then he's going to find Giannis driving to the basket and if they collapse the paint to stop him then he kicks it out to Middleton, Beasley, Dame, whoever. Teams have struggled to defend the Bucks this year. That's why they have the best offense in the league right now. 122.0 offensive rating.
Bucks have gotten a lot better and it looks like the Celtics just keeps struggling against bottom teams and what happens when they play Cavs or Knicks they will fold
@@BUCKS12ngl celtics always struggle against bottom teams, like they always lose to the Knicks and Mavericks
They used to always lose to the Knicks but if porzingis is healthy they match up good against us. If he’s injured we cook them
@@Alran109The counter to Milwaukee is Milwaukee doesn’t have a coach, and I’m not the biggest Joe M fan, but he’s leagues above the bum that occupies the HC seat in MIL
No matter what they still a guaranteed conference finals squad and as a Heat fan I know we beat them before but they still very scary when they're at their best
Bro you two have become my favorite CZcamsrs over winter break
If the Celtics don’t make the finals with this super team we gonna need to have some serious conversations about tatum
Real
JT has been the problem for years. His shot selection is getting worse year by year. His inconsistence step back 3s always hurt the pace of offense. I have one moment of hope that he gets better this year when he used post moves in the beginning of this season. However, he used his stupid stepback 3 again recently and the data is self explanatory. He needs someone to tell him what great shot selection is. 18.2% 3pt fg% really hurts.
ECF and Finals last 2 years was a Tatum ankle injury away from b2b Finals
They prolly easily win the Finals this year bc this lineup a bit overkill and stacked to the max
y’all want to have “conversations” about this man soooo bad he’s accomplished 3x as much as evb else in his comp
@@s2l4t9 lol there's not going to be anything easy about a series with Milwaukee or Philly. Boston will be lucky to win the East with how stacked it is.
@@Alran109 So they’re lucky to win the East but if they don’t Tatum Is a fraud?
The Bucks literally have not beaten Tatum in 2 years including reg season and post season , they lost in the first rd and have looked good but not great this season
C’s have always had Embiid’s number due to Embiid being a consistent playoff dropper people put most the blame last year on Harden but his 2 40pt games kept them from loosing in 5
Celtics are more matured this year. The key is how healthy the stars will be?if they are healthy it will be difficult to beat
They’re 17-2 when they’re 6 best players play I don’t wanna hear from blazers fans how a contender is supposed to look when the Celtics just got their best big since KG
They have 17-1 when full heathy.
another great synthetic sports video
You guys deserve jxmyhighroller level subscribers. The only YT channel I look forward to posting😤🔥
Really? Vulnerable? Any team is vulnerable if the other team gets hot from 3 and the other gets cold from 3.
Boston's Top 6 are better than anyone else's Top 6. If Porzingis is there in the playoffs (Big IF, due to injury history), they're the best in the NBA.
Detroit deserves credit for giving it their all against an immensely superior team, they just BARELY fell short.
all teams are vulnerable.
We need a We Believe Warriors vid!!!!!! Ik y’all aren’t Warriors fans… but it’s arguably one of if not the greatest upset in playoff history!
Anybody can be beat in sports
I’ve never seen a team win a game and get clowned for it, wildly dumb video
Bro right?! 🤣🤣🤣 NBA media has out for the Celtics with some weird vendetta against them. The disrespect to the clear best team in basketball is wild.
Can you please do a Scoot/ Blazers video? I love those
So one bad game is making y’all reevaluate?? Casuals kill me lol
Facts
@@DJJoCar let them pretend that all of them golden state teams didn’t take at least one L or two close games against bottom feeders when they were winning
As a Celtics fan, I don't trust them. We're always our best as the underdog. Go down 0-3, finally get favored to win in game 7 and gets blown out.
Dude, your best player broke his ankle on the first play of the game! You're not a real Cs fan IMO
As a Celtics fan, this team is a mystery. Games you'd expect them to win, they'll almost find a way to lose. Games you'd expect them to lose, they somehow find a way to win or make it close.
While the bench isn't that deep, it isn't the worst bench ever. It is true that they don't score that many points, but they don't shoot that much. 30th in FGA while 7th in FG%. They also are good at rebounding and have low turnovers. There typically is at least 2 of the starters/horford out there with the bench unit.
Queta is basically Timelord lite, Brisset has calmed down a bit and is shooting better, Banton has length and is a good defender, Lamar Stevens can be used as a small ball 5 and hold his own, Svi/Hauser/Pritchard never feel like they are going to miss
Don’t matter if they nearly loose to the pistons. What matters is that they won a game they would’ve lost easily last year. Not to mention the fact JB was out. JUST STAY HATING ON THE CELTICS though 👌🏽😅😂
Retrospective on the 7 win bobcats would be interesting
Listen Im a celtics fan and this is how it is 😭 Play a bad team that we should beat and get dominated by them Im honestly surprised we didn’t lose this game
So they rarely blow out teams you’d expect them to.
Why do you think that is?
@@fortynights1513 Dude idk honestly maybe because they go into the game thinking yeah were so much better we will win easily then they get wooped
@@fortynights1513 yet they blow out good teams. I would rather they blow out a contender than some lottery team.
@@alecbraun6272Blowing out a team that is solid or good is better than blowing out a lottery team.
But one criticism I often hear about Boston is inconsistency, and maybe that could be a sign of them being unmotivated at times?
Boys we been through this, the day I believe they have it in them is the day they prove themselves.
They my favorites to lose a elimination game by 20.
Yeah I’m not trusting these dudes until I see them raising that championship banner.
As a bucks fan I really hope they play the heat in the playoffs. Not only will it be entertaining. But hopefully some heat devil magic can happen again.
We definitely aren't losing to them again this year...
Y’all better be worried abt the sixers 😂
As a Heat fan, Bucks are also getting it.
@@laneule4364Really? We kinda own them. Just ask Joel
@@will35x lmfao Dame gonna tear that ass up.
If Celtics don’t get it done this year, in my opinion The Jays had reached their ceiling and are who they are at this point. Brad Stevens has to consider moving one or both of them. Multiple deep playoff runs, excellent rosters and individual talent they process… like HOW?! Only one Finals appearance. As a Lakers Fan I live in fear of these Cs and I’ll swallow my pride they are the BEST TEAM ATM to win it all, but deep down at the same time I think to myself ‘we’ll wait till the playoffs regardless the reg season record.’
The Jays have reached their ceiling??! They're not even in their physical prime yet at 25 and 27 years old. LOL
People have been saying this every year for 4 years. Why is everyone so interested in tearing the Celtics roster apart?
On one hand I don't think one shitty game is indicative of a team's overall quality. That being said, and to answer the question, trusting a sports team to do anything is a great way to end up looking stupid.
Ime Udoka in my language translated back to English comes out as " here have a piglet"
These guys don’t watch the games, we were manhandling the warriors too and got off script and melted down, and the pistons game was a trap game first game back off our 10 day road trip, the fact that we found a way to win from down 20 is impressive and shows the teams resilience
As a life-long 40 yr fan, the Celtics are great enough to trust all the way to their 18th ring. The question is can we trust Joe as the HC.
I'm surprised you guys haven't made a Clyde Drexler 90s Trail Balzers video yet
When I was watching the pistons game at least to me it didn't look like they where really trying at the beginning of the game until they went down 20 and realised that they would be the team that would break the streak
Need a video about the nuggets/MVP race
can never believe in the Celtics said by an Lakers fan
You’re not biased at all or anything. Your opinion doesn’t mean a whole lot no disrespect.
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fb neither does your🤝
@wrightbrown I’m a Kings fan so I don’t have a dog in this fight. The Lakers are about to get passed up in total title count. Cope
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fbexcept the lakers are like 7 titled behind. Counting the Minnesota titled from a segregated league is ridiculous. They didn’t even start counting them until like 1985.
As much as I hate the Selltics, I gotta admit they're gonna win the whole fucking thing
3:25 did the 2019 raptors have a good starting five?
If you guys are looking for video ideas I’d love for you to recap the trailblazers and how the young guys/team is doing
Nobody and I mean nobody cares about the trailblazers😂
What’s killing them is they keep shooting 3s when it’s not falling, lack of timeouts from Joe, and the ability to keep the lead in the 3rd quarter.
I couldn’t agree more as a Celtics fan. It’s frustrating when they continue to shoot the 3 when they are shooting a combined 20% compared to 50-60% in the mid and paint
This year they have actually have had off shooting nights and have still won games because they defense has been better compared to last year despite being good last year defensively and they have Porzingis who can get them easy looks in the interior now offensively.
Is bench points the best indicator of how good a bench is because the Celtics are top 3 in bench net rating. Im not sure if that is the best indicator as well but i think it is better than raw bench ppg
There bench overall is actually underrated because they have guys that are willing rebounders, cutters, dirty works guy and some lethal 3 point shooters, they just don't have a lethal scorer of the bench.
Bro they had the bench in at the start of the game against the pistons, even when they were down by more than 10. I doubt they took them seriously until the 2nd half.
I mean, if you think about it, there's no obvious title contenders that have a good bench. Celtics, Nuggets, Bucks, maybe 76ers. If you are talking about semi contenders, okay, those teams got a bench (Minnesota, OKC, Miami, Orlando).
replace 76ers with miami
The Kyle Lowry BUTs have me rolling 😂😂
Queta is pretty good off the bench, IMO. But I'm Portuguese so I might biased 😅😅😅
Not biased at all, he’s pretty solid, but raw. Needs more experience. I would try and keep him and develop him, pre trade him for a better backup big.
@@hectorirene763 Truth be told, and I might be wrong on this one, I see him as a more traditional number 5, you know the kind of guy that would have thrived in the 90s or 2000s. I think he needs to become more efficient at either playmaking and/or on both ends of the court and shoot the ball when required. Otherwise, he'll be a good rotation option or back up big
In about 2 months, there should be a restrospect video about this video when they win the chip
Remember when the 2012 heat barley beat the 7 win bobcats TWICE that year??!
i trust Celtics more then Synthetic Sports.
Celtics are the best team in the league, barring injury they have no excuse not winning it all
So i’ll be waiting for the Heat in the ECF for them to scare the shit out of me once again
The 73-9 warriors lost to the boots feeder lakers. Any given night with the regular season. Just wait till the playoffs
Yeah reading into one random game against the pistons seems pretty silly
Who’s playing better
My hating ahh really sat here in a win win situation, the pistons continue the losing streak ORRRR the Celtics lose to the worst team in the league and that would just be hilarious
Boston vs Milwaukee= 86 Celtics
Boston vs Miami= 1998 Celtics
0:34
Short answer: No
Long answer: Absolutely not.
I wonder the folder's size of Kyle Lowry pictures.
lol yes. my answer is yes, the Celtics are still the favorites
Nobody talks about that boy Kanter blackballed by the league
Why does a picture of Kyle Lowry pop up every time he says the word "but"? Lol
anybody else talking about how bucks only beat the pistons by 2?
Lebron didn’t win until he was 27, Tatum is already top 100 in playoff wins and has had the highest expectations since he was drafted out of any other player. Look at how terrible that 2020 roster tatum took to the ECF was hayward missed almost every playoff game.
So if you plugged young lebron in the 2018 Celtics all the way up to this point you don’t think Celtics would at least be sitting on 2 rings
To be fair Lebron was not in a team Tatum has been until he went to the Heat
So by your logic we don’t win this year, but next year? Damn 😂
The thing nobody says about jrue is his defense gets worse in the playoffs
The Kyle Lowry pic is too much 😂😂😂
The Celtics are rlly good but inconsistent with some teams when it comes to winning or losing 😂
It’s still a two team race but there are other teams that could win
8:16 kyle lowery jumpscare
The game last night shouldn’t really change your narrative. 15-4 against teams with winning records. Best record with toughest schedule so far. Last night was your classic trap game and they still came back and won. Let’s not overthink it
facts they stated “after almost losing to the pistons” the bucks almost lose to bottom tier teams all the time guess they aren’t contenders shit even the nuggets “almost” lost to the hornets and pistons they aren’t contenders either lmao
@@AveragedreExactly haha. It’s like, these things happen sometimes. I can’t understand knocking the Celtics for a close game with the Pistons when their overall resume has been stellar. And they still won the game
@@loveyourself4610Also, it’s disrespectful to Detroit, because Detroit hasn’t been blown out in games they’ve lost for the most part. It’s consistent single-digit loses. To be surprised they put up a fight against Boston is absurd when they’ve put up a fight, even if they’ve only gotten 2 wins out of it, all season
@@mimosajdExactly, idk who was in or out but the Bucks only won by 2 against them earlier in the season
Y'all are acting like the C's lost the game lmao. They struggled in the first half, realized they needed to turn on the gas, and won the game.
It’s basketball bro… any team can win any given day… it’s an 82 game season… terrible take.
8:16 as a raps fan that right there is why klow is the goat for the raps
Porzingus and Al didn’t even play🤨
Hauser's shooting like 40% ftom three
The way I see it, the Celtics are the best team in the NBA and jayson Tatum is still having a B grade season, if he stops chucking up threes and plays to his strengths it’s gonna look terrifying
Should he do more midrange or driving?
@@fortynights1513 id say driving and post game, getting to the line more often and finding a shooting groove as a result couldn’t hurt either
They will be ok
QUETA needs minutes. He will give them the rebounds they need and great inside scoring
Every team is vulnerable lol
I don't take the Pistons game too seriously. You can't blame guys for phoning in a game or two during the holidays!
Krispy flakes is losing it bro
Me personally no As much as people say they are contenders for the title i don’t think i can’t consider them real contenders because they have had multiple runs since tatum got there and every year they come so close but fail 2022 finals run and last year playoffs were a proof that as good as they are they have major holes and yeah jrue holiday replacing marcus smart like i still think they can make the conference finals or something but me personally that’s all they do because ever since lebron left the east it’s been heat vs celtics and aside from two years the heat literally has boston number
ECF Heat vs Celtics
Heat wins 2-1 over celtics
2020 and 2023
You are nuts. They are beating everyone
@@staticcharm3808 People said that last year even the year they made the finals and always came up short they are always great in the regular season but the playoffs shows us a different story
Don’t let Bsolz see this
Bruh people overreacted like a mfer to that pistons game. It was the first game back home after a west coast road trip. 9/10 the east coast home team loses that 1st game back. On top of the fact its like people are forgetting that maybe the pistons were tired of losing. Them mfers on detroit were going HAM. Cade cunnigham looked like luka just going whereever he wanted and scoring. Jaden ivey turned into klay thompson. Draining three after three. To me that game said more about the celtics cuz its 1000% a game they woulda lost any other year in recent times.
They just too talented not to be good. They have everything a championship team needs. Not to say they didn't have a chance in years passed.
The really important question is Harvey Dent: can we trust him?
Wolves video
Current Warriors video
need another piston video
I do not think the pistons loss should make them not championship favorites AT THE MOMENT. But that doesn’t mean the heat can’t beat them. They he Celtics refuse to improve their late game execution and would rather have Tatum and Brown chuck shots while being the two worst high volume pull up shooters in the league.
They actually at times have run their offense late game with Derrick White initiating the offense and sometimes give the ball to Porzingis in the post. They have more ways to beat teams now late game than before, and the Heat can run zone against the Celtics now because they have Porzingis who is great against Zone Defense.
These guys just don’t have that dog in them. Ime Udoka brought that but got fired. Smart brought that but lost his touch. I don’t see anyone who brings a killer mentality to this teams. Maybee Jrue??
cope
I love the revisionism as if Ime didn’t deserve to be fired for what he did. Consensual or not, he abused his power
@@mimosajd If it was consensual how would that be abusing his power lol, but in terms of basketball he was the best coach they could’ve had
to be fair tatum got hurt first play of game 7. vs miami last year
Hayward to the Celtics would be awesome
Jimmy was their dadd
I think the reason there is no trust on the Celtics is that they don't have a specific style or weapon they can resort to when the going gets tough.
The Nuggets, if things get hard, go to Jokic-Murray two man game or dump it to Gordon for a dunk.
The Warriors, shit gets hard, find Steph for a 3.
The Twolves, give it to Ant and have drive to the rim.
Sixers, get Embiid on the post.
When the Celtics are in a tough spot, and can't buy a bucket, what do they do? .................. I dunno. This past game they went to Porzingis and that might be their most consistent option. There is nothing specific to fear.
My 2 cents.
Tell is you don’t watch the Celtics without telling us you don’t watch the Celtics.
They are going to chuck up threes and hope they go in
Celtics basketball is most brainless brand of basketball... 5 out, constantly shooting contested jumpers, they shoot at least 40 3s every game and they have no inside presence... in the playoffs when the 3s will have pressure on them they'll lose... cause if they win then the NBA will become completely unwatchable... every team will copy that brainless bullshit basketball and every team will be playing 5 out and chucking 50+ 3s per game while the NBA will keep refusing to let anyone play defense at all...
I mean seriously... what is the Celtics plan? They have no pick n roll, no off ball movement... they just drive and kick for 3s or shoot contested jump shots with Brown and Tatum... it's the definition of BAD BASKETBALL that only works due to the NBA refusing to allow anyone to really play defense without sending the opponent to the free throw line 20 times... seriously... nowadays every star shoots 30% more free throws than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant... the NBA is telling us that guarding fucking Jalen Brown that can't dribble the fucking ball is harder than guarding prime MJ... Adam Fucktard thinks we're retards...
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fbits clear as day he does not watch games thats the beauty of the celtics is that it’s someone different every game lmaoo i think every single Celtic starter has made big shots/ big plays when things get tough
Y'all act like they lost the game.
The Celtics are the three time NBA champions of ESPN. As a Heat fan I love how everyone always hypes them up only to end up losing.
Edit: So many hurt C's fans in the comments.
They’ve never had a team this good clown. Cope harder
LMAOOO Espn Champions Ima start using that
The Heat haven’t won yet either… Tatum just turned 26 how old is Jimmy again?
Don't act like your shit don't stink when heat have been embarrassed last year and during the bubble
@@nikobellic2515I think what he's tryna say is the C's in the playoffs are the overwhelming favs to win to according to ESPN but came up short (ie: 2022 finals they were 86% to the Warriors 14% and 2023 ECF they were 97% to the Heat's 3%)
OMC vid pla
Any good team in the NBA can have bad nights in the season. Just stop expecting too much.
This was totally just a case Cunningham comeback and nothing to do with the Celtics (trust)
