So the best player on the only 60+ win team in the league has no pressure to win after being to 5 ECFs. But the organization has pressure? What?????
Theres pressure but it doesnt change anything if they lose. People have already decided hes not that good. Yeah best player on 60+ win team and he wasnt even top 5 in MVP voting. It's not like he'd be on bench next season.
@@pepperjack2410he wasn’t top 5 but he was literally the next guy in 6th place, big part of that was just straight up numbers as the entire team pretty much averaged less for the success of the team, you won’t average 32 points when you have JB, holiday porzingos and d white also getting their shots up as well.
@@pepperjack2410he is that good lmao. People just want to let it slide because there is not much to hate on the dude. He should for sure have all the smoke as the leader of the team and star of the league.
@@pepperjack2410 he will never be a MVP. Hes a good player but the bar has to adjusted there. Hes not that guy.
@mura0 He holds the record for most points in a game 7, ever. He can definitely be that guy if he wanted to. He's just entering his prime, too.
The media treating the Pacers like a high school team is making me root for them now.
The pacers has reached their expectations for this season. No one picked them to be here, & Boston been knocking on the Door for a championship for last few years. It’s bigger than Pacers for Celtics.
@@Tariq597pacer's also barely got by a bucks team without giannis or dame and a knicks team who's top 7 players were all injured. Ik the celtics haven't had the toughest schedule, but their pedigree makes them the heavy favorite.
from these 4 teams I'm rooting for the Pacers but they wont get it done. I like Ant, but dont like KAT, Gobert, Minnesota's Jersey, Luka, Dallas coach. So, I got go with Boston (now that the are not a flopcity team anymore)or not watch the finals at all. lol
@@peterfalkson6730 Pacers in 5, keep these receipts.
just because we past the ceiling doesn’t mean the ride stops here, sky’s the limit! we ain’t scared of Boston a team that’s epically failed late in the playoffs 7 years running! Don’t let them steal one of the first 2 or we going back to boston 3-1! Pacers in 6!
No excuses for boston this year the east is wide open and they have to win it all!
You kiding underdog vs west
Indy in 7
if the celtics dont win it all, they have to trade tatum/brown and go on rebuild
@@Mana_BandanaIndy in 6
They always start hot and then go 🥶. They do need CP 🙄 what Monica talking about
So much 🧢🧢🧢 on this panel
The media is dead set on setting the narrative that the Celtics will fail. I hope Boston wins and sports media can eat $h!+
Not happening 😅
For good reason they've been to 6 ECF in 8 years if they don't win the finals this year when will they they have the most experience the best overall team and actually been to the finals once what is there excuse
It's because of what happened vs. Miami in ECF last year.
I hope Boston wins it all to shut these haters up
Youve been hoping that since 2008, Bro
Howd that work out??
lol
Definitely hoping the Celtics do win so they can shut these bs narratives up
The media when Celtics win by 20 but Tatum scores 20: Tatum needs to play better because the Celtics can't win that way.
The media when the Celtics win 5 but Tatum scores 35: The Celtics can't win this way, they need to play better
Celtics fans when not everyone in the media praises them: *cries*
@@psychenautes not at all. I want the media to be objective and not cherry pick for ratings and clicks. They are 8-2 in the postseason winning every game by double digits
@@shermandudley5548 then you shouldn't watch ESPN haha. And they're doing what a stacked team should against the weak eastern conf teams they've been playing. This is what was expected. They need to get the job done this year, and they very well could. Their real competition won't start until the finals though so no one's gonna give them their flowers until then.
Tatum leads all players in his series in pts, assists, rebs, steals, and blocks, first since Lebron in 2016. But these ESPN bums don't watch nor understand basketball, so don't expect too much from them
@@psychenautesNo one praises them. It’s all criticism.
How could it not be a failure? They were the best team in the league this year by a wide margin and they only have the East’s 6th seed and the West’s 3rd or 5th seed standing in their way. This should be a cake walk
This is the nba! Any team can win at any time for many reasons
They do not have a starter who scored 20+ and grabs 10+ rebs a game. If Kyrie or Kat was missing for the other teams y'all be crying "unfair" if they lose right now. But when it's Boston, it's okay? The double standards
@@masstarvationI agree but outside zingua they have a 2x Dpoy in jrue , 6 man Derrick white and most exp out of every team like it insane to say it’s a dub just reaching the conf finals
We've been hearing this since they went 7 games against the Cavs in the ECF.
lmao tatum is only 19
@@josephkamarr The fact that they got there says how talented they are, and that was LeBron's last run in the East.
Afterwards, Boston has been the favourites but fails to deliver season after season
Those Kyrie teams were not Tatum's teams. The only run that Tatum started to be the main guy was in 2022, and they went 2 games away from winning it all.
0:23 is one of the most random stats I’ve ever seen in my life
How could the celtics be under pressure but not Tatum? Do you want Brad Stevens to play?
Because Tatum is just 26. A lot of stars dont win their first chip till they're 28
^ and Tatum can easily be traded to a ready team n win instant. No pressure on him; this has been bostons plan for years and they still don’t have one and if they lose this year when it’s pretty much a layup….BIG L for the Cs; n I’m a fan.
Trade Tatum to the Lakers then and see what the celtics and Brad stevens do. Brad Steven's should've fired Joe last year. Worest coach in the NBA.
The Knicks made Pacers a better team by pushing them to be more aggressive on defense. I expect the Pacers to come out swinging with the momentum on their side. They will put up a great fight in this series...
Keep the same energy when other teams do the same thing
@@PTCAL so Anthony edwards doesn’t have any help? Literally every team has help stop with that stupid narrative it makes no sense.
@@jazminmccree8979right ant don’t even have to get 20
@@PTCALCap 🧢
WOW this is such a hard pivot from a couple months back when the WHOLE media was pushing the narrative of “Tatum is the new face of the NBA” …. Now it’s “Maybe he’s just not that guy” lmao
Nobody ever talks about the Miami Heat making the Finals twice and losing in recent years. The Celtics made it once and lost to the Warriors dynasty. It’s not like they lost to the 8th seed in the West.
yeah but nobody expected the heat to get that far tbh, and the celtics are always in the ecf
That’s true but watching that series against the Warriors, the Celtics could not get out of their own way, they looked like the more talented team at the time. They just turned the ball over SO much, it was crazy. The Warriors took advantage of that & won the series
Because Miami exceeded expectations. Boston has supposedly BEEN THAT TEAM for years. Honestly, when they played Golden State in the finals, who thought they were gonna lose with the team talent and experience they had at the time? Now they're even more loaded, Tatum wants to be considered the NEXT guy so that comes with pressure. But these guys are saying no pressure? Jesus. How can you be considered great and there not be pressure? These sports "analysts" nowadays are ridiculous. Celtics pressure? Yes? Tatum pressure? Yes. Thats what comes with being the "best" player on a team, right?
Celtics lost to the 8th seed in the ECF last year
this new woman carter is AMAZING! one of the best personalities on espn already 💯
The Celtics have been in the ECF like 5 of the last 6 years....
Jaylen and Jayson already know what they are playing for. They want it and damnit, they gonna achieve it!!
Everything Austin says is deep seated protecting pops 😂
Andraya Carter needs a raise… actually using logic and not repeating what Stephen A says
He said the Celtics are window shopping greatness. He was just using Tatum as an example. How did they manage to change this to Tatum only lol. Do they not have the entire clip? Lmaoo
This is bostons year. No excuses if they fumble the bag again. Jayson Tatum’s superstar status depends on how he performs as a player and leader on a stacked team that has no reason to not be in the finals.
They never put this pressure on the European players
Facts!
Never!
They put this pressure on Giannis after he started winning MVPs, the pressure was crazy. Luka may not get the same pressure but it’s because he has a similar team start to Lebron where he was too good, too early & so the team couldn’t properly build a young core around him. Now this Dallas team is looking nice! & they found a way with trades to build something tough around him. Embiid may not be from Europe but he has a bunch of pressure too especially with his injury history, it’s about timing & the closer you get to greatness the more pressure. Giannis & Jokic’s careers are very similar, the pressure built but they won before the pressure could get to an insane level.
@@marckusduverger9776 they be dogging Embiid I haven't seen no criticism at all to Joker since they lost and the way they promote Luka pressure should be on him they had him 3rd in MVP voting. Tatum been overlooked all year but now he has to win smh.
Sure tf don't.
is this what sports journalism has come to?
As a Boston fan I can absolutely say that not winning a championship this year will be a failure. Making the ECF all these times in recent years is great, but you have to win it at some point. Tatum himself has to the most scrutinized 25 year old player that I have ever seen.
I trust JB more than Tatum, that dude is the most passive aggressive star to watch.
I respect your opinion but Tatum last series lead his team in every statistical category. If you think Brown is the best player on the team you don't know basketball.
These shows now quote what other analysts say on ESPN and then debate whether analysts opinion is right or wrong lol
Its the pressure with the team in indiana siakam has his championship experience added indiana’s in tournament finalist and their mental toughness coming into the conference final is dangerous to celtics
Let's Go!!
This panel is rough
Unwatchable.
Thank you Austin Rivers . Tatum has his own goal post and it’s annoying . Ant , book , Luka , kyrie (without bron) , now starting next season SGA , Jimmy butler etc etc etc don’t need rings for respect . Tatum and brown ? Awww man the internet is hilarious
If Tatum was on a market like charlotte yak they wouldn’t be that disrespectful. Tatum and Luka have this unrealistic expectation that nobody else that’s young matches, not shai not ant, none of those guys have that type of expectation
This isn't about "rings for respect" this is about the Celtics organization surrounding buddy with championship level teams over the last 4 or 5 seasons and not getting it done. Players like Luka and Jimmy have definitely overachieved with the rosters they've been giving.
@@xcwilliams7980 so your blaming him for good GMs? Lebron and Luka have gone 4 seasons straight with roster after roster change as well , when it’s them it’s just “they need help” , nobody talks about the fact that since JT was a rookie , all the way to playing with IT , to having Kemba and smart run point , to kyrie and playing along Hayward , back to smart with white , and now holiday with white , and KP down low , JT has played great in every version of the Celtics. , instead what y’all do is say , awww man he has a super team and only scored 23 points and 12 Rebs . ☠️ . He has his own goalpost
@@xcwilliams7980 be serious they have not had a championship level team for 4 of 5 years. Only year they underachieved was last year and even then they had multiple injuries to contend with but injuries don’t matter when it comes to the Celtics
@@Frank-nz1wryeah it’s because the internet babies are programmed to hate the Celtics , I know . Not even book is hated for actual basketball reasons , they just like calling him soft for memes but he gets plenty of love for his game . If Tatum and brown got swept by a 22 year old ant , OMGGGGGGGG
The pressure is on Boston and Tatum to win a title this year!
I like how he rolled it to draya not being selfish...
Dirk And Joel didn’t make it to the conference finals the years they won MVP…
So did Jokic .. twice
Don't forget your boy when you put comments like this
It’s a catch 22. If Celtics win, they’ll downplay it because they should’ve won. If they lose, it’s biggest failure ever. We haven’t seen this kind of pressure on a player since Lebron joining the Heat.
yup MEDIA just hate regardless. win or lose 🍀 its funny
Tatum is a by stander in being a lottery pick who so happens to be historically great
“Too much nugenix that day” 😂😅😅
It's a layaway 😂😂 for a payment plannnnnnn😂
Celtics fan here, assuming porzingis comes back on time and healthy for the rest of the playoffs they have absolutely no excuse to not win it all
Immense pressure. No excuses on this one Boston. No LBJ to knock them out, No Steph to lose to in the Finals. They are the most "experienced" team.
Hey Shannon how are the Lakers doing in Cancun 🤣🤣
This is INSANE how they are putting on the cape for Tatum lmao
💯💯💯💯
YES as a celtics fan if they dont win this year this is the biggest failure of the century
JT is the one that said he wanna be the face so he put this pressure on himself!
These guy talk in circles every morning it’s actually insane
This is the best team Tatum has ever been a part of as a Celtic. If he doesn’t win now, will he win in the future when the Celtics will need to pay him to be the largest contract in nba history?
It is time for the Celtics to win the NBA championship this year.
How long is Tatum 25 for ?
The 2020s could be the first decade in NBA history where we could have 10 different champions in 10 years. Even the 1970s had Knicks and Celtics winning a chip twice. That’s good news for teams who never won a chip like the Suns, Clippers, Pacers, Magic, etc. Who knew 7 months ago that Minny and OKC would get this good?
It’s actually the NFL that’s losing a little of it’s parity that the NBA is gaining. We saw Patriots win 6 and Chiefs win 3 of the last 5 Super Bowls while we had 5 different NBA champions since 2019 and we are headed to our 6th straight different NBA champion. And it’s a lot of teams coming from out of nowhere like OKC, Indiana, Orlando, and even the Knicks!!
The end of dynasties? Last B2B champs: ‘17 & ‘18 Warriors. The last to win more than 2 titles are the Warriors. The previous stars liked teaming up with other stars but now they’re old in their mid to late 30s. The 2010s lacked any competitive spirit. Instead of LeBron dominating his generation like Jordan did, he teamed up with them. Then we blasted KD for joining Golden State but where’s the criticism towards DWade and Steph? They let another superstar win Finals MVP on their team that drafted them. The 2010s sucked. An outlier decade of teams with small 3-pt jackers. Now it’s back to the status quo: SIZE MATTERS.
I still see Denver winning a couple more but Minny looks ready to take over. Remember, the Lakers won 5 in Minneapolis. We got another team in Minnesota taking over after 70+ years. Y’all seen the MJ/Ant same play videos? A ton on CZcams. Like the MJ/Kobe same play videos. Eerily similar. There are shirts selling with Ant/MJ’s split face on it. Ant is MJ’s son. Forget Bronny. Show more nepotism to Ant.
Bronny will be worse than Austin Rivers and Kwame Brown in actual talent but they got bashed repeatedly for receiving nepotism or being a bust while Bronny will get none of that from the media because he happens to be LeBron’s son sharing the same first name.
I don’t think Bronny deserves the criticisms but he also doesn’t deserve the amount of attention over guys who are more talented and skilled than him. Did Tim Hardaway Jr. or Gary Payton II get the same level of hype? No. But if there’s a LeBron Jr., let’s draft this G League level scrub to get his daddy to play for us. Lonzo Ball is better than Bronny and he got a ton of backlash.
Nobody’s reading that essay
So Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t exist anymore? They can’t win the finals without him. So it wouldn’t exactly be the same.
imagine if tatum lost to tyrese who is one year younger against him...
then if tatum lost to anthony towns who is 3 years younger than him...
it only says he is not him, and is reduced as a star and not a superstar caliber player
Karl Towns is 28. You’re really stupid
Tatum is very talented, but he has no heart. When the game gets tough, he always checks out. Just like KD and Harden.
@tonytoni1150 Look at what he did vs Philly last year. He had an awful game most of the game in game 6 I think, but scored a bunch in the 4th and sealed the deal. He holds the record for most points scored in a game 7, ever. He's got heart, you guys needed to have some patience. Gen Z has no patience.
@@Boston2Boca I’m not Gen Z. I’ve been watching his game for a while. He’s definitely gotten tougher, but this year will be the deciding factor. He has a great team with great guards around him, let’s see if they can pull it off.
Expectations are too high for Tatum. He is NOT on the level of guys like prime LeBron or Jokic where they are so good you expect them to win a ring. Tatum has a bunch of success because his TEAM has been really good. He doesn’t do a carry job the way the truly elite do
if the celtics under pressure then the best player on the team is under pressure to make the team be successful. TATUM needs to get this done
Conference finals is the hardest series. 7 games in 12 nights. It’s extremely tough. To me they should win but Indy is a really good team.
So every potential 7 games series has to be finished in 12 day span?
I'll trust a trusted source that has a background in the sport they're actually discussing. Stand down Greeny.
Here comes ESPN hating on Tatum again. Tatum leads all players in his series in pts, assists, rebs, steals, and blocks, first since Lebron in 2016. He is carrying Boston to a cruise in the playoffs. But ESPN say no, we are loving Antman for shooting 6/24 in an elimination game and getting carried by Naz Reid and Gobert LMAO
CRAZY that he's only 19 year old 😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😅😅😅😂🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Tatum with the Paul George Career. A star forward leading his own team, epic runs at a chip always falling short. Then eventually traded to multiple teams until it’s realized he was never a #1 option.
Paul George never lead his team to the finals.
@@terrencemchatten4804 Yeah, it doesn’t have to be a one for one copy. Celtics obviously are the better team.
But they’re both star forwards who think they can be the #1 option, but they can’t.
Jason Tatum doesn't have a championship yet? You know who else never won a championship? Elgin Baylor, Dominique Wilkins, Pete Maravich, Patrick Ewing, Bob Lanier, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and George Gervin. All are Hall of Famers.
You know what would be a nice thing for the franchise and the fans? A championship. The greatest of the great win championships. There are tiers within the hof
AI
@@iplusenterprize I’m sure he, the fans, and the franchise would trade the accolades for a championship and that’s the point. After your career it’s over you can reflect but in your prime and if you’re great then every year you don’t win the chip it’s a failure. What’s with the losing mentality of this generation?
Half that list you can blame on Jordan and Pippen for why they dont have a title. There's no dominant dynasty in this decade to stop them from winning now. That's why there's a new championship every year. So there is no excuse for him not to have a title now if he wants to be in the conversation of the greats. Back in 2022, he had a chance, but an even bigger superstar in Curry took over and took the title from him.
We elevated Steph to possible top10 when he carried the GSW to a ring. We consider Giannis great when he carried the Bucks to a ring. We have to hold Tatum accountable if we want to consider him great.
I think KG made a point with Stephen A. It’s usually the management that screws it up the following season after a team wins a chip. Take the 2008 Celtics for example. They lost James Posey to free agency. Didn’t retain Eddie House and Leon Powe.
The 2010 Celtics had Tony Allen who Kobe said was the best defender he’s ever faced, but c’mon, Tony Allen was only 6’4. Not 6’8 like James Posey. Celtics lost some of their length by the time they had their rematch with the Lakers.
We saw it again with the 2020 Lakers. They broke up that team immediately. Let go of Dwight, Rondo, McGee, and Caruso. Not that I believe they would’ve repeated in 2021 since AD was going down against Phoenix. But why make the drastic changes?
Then the Lakers decided to let go of Malik Monk who thrived in Sacramento the following season. Then the Lakers lost Schröder and Lonnie Walker. They lost a little bit of their defensive feistiness by losing Schröder.
Denver should’ve never let go of Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. But management wants to cut corners and then the roster gets a little worse and they’re never as good as the roster that won them a championship.
I do believe it’s the end of dynasties. And you know what? I actually like it! Adam Silver said he always wanted to copy the NFL with their parity. It makes each new season more unpredictable. The last 5 champions failed to repeat and make it beyond the 2nd round after winning the chip the year prior….
2020 Raptors (2nd round exit)
2021 Lakers (1st round exit)
2022 Bucks (2nd round exit)
2023 Warriors (2nd round exit)
2024 Nuggets (2nd round exit)
I think this is good news for fans who roots for their teams in smaller markets. No more seeing Lakers or Celtics winning all the time. Each team is only built for ONE season. More one and done teams. Every team gets a chance to eat a slice of that championship pie.
Since 2011, teams who won their first ever championship…
2011 Mavericks
2016 Cavaliers
2019 Raptors
2023 Nuggets
2024 Timberwolves????
Kinda gives hope to my dumbf**k Clippers. Maybe we will finally catch a lucky break on health next year? Nah. We’re screwed. Too old. Too cursed. Kawhi is broken goods. The new 2014 Brooklyn Nets banking on guys in their mid 30s and could no longer hang against stars in their mid 20s.
While my Clippers suck, guess who’s made a big comeback to his career? Kyrie. Dude is still playing while Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, LeBron, AD, Steph, KD, Kawhi, PG, Harden, and Russ are all fishing.
It’s a new era. Only build teams with very short term views because nobody knows which teams will get injured again. Death of dynasties, superteams, dynamic duos, and big threes. Embrace parity and just hope your team can remain healthy. The younger teams are succeeding because their best players are still young that they can stay healthy.
The Lakers have LeGM. That alone was the reason why key players on that 2020 team were not retained, none more key than KCP.
Same ppl saying they take Twolves celtics will call it a failure?
It’s our year we locked in😮💨
Yeaaaaa Unc tell em
Nah I hate that people refuse to put pressure on Tatum, it’s crazy any one of them can say maybe he ain’t that guy and then say “he’s gonna get paid $315 million dollars!” Tatum out of all the superstars have had an insanely better built, thorough team the entire team he’s been there
Jason tatum is the laker's Logo guy, going 10 times just to win one championships, this is how it was i presume for Jerry West.
The Celtics are 24-4 without Kristaps all be it in the regular season which we all know is different but as a Celtics fan there is no excuse to not get it done with or without KP
All of the team's got a chance.
Why use stats that have multiple stipulations tacked on the end?
Everybody keeps talking about Tatum when all along it's Jaylen Brown who's the best player in the Celtics team. More consistent, knows how to attack the basket, etc... Tatum is always tentative, just waiting to take the 3. Derek White has been a better player actually.
If the Celtics don't finally win it all this year it will reconfirm that Tatum is,the booker of the east. If you want super star status you have to win it all when you're playing on a super team
We’re coolin against Indiana buh we need KP for the finals ESPECIALLY if its the wolves
how are celtics under pressure with 17 championships. lol ESPN are haters
This is such a crazy conversation smh why they act like they been to the finals 4 times lol. It would be their 2nd time!
THE LEPRECHAUNS BETTER WIN. EASIEST route to the finals of any team. Only team with 60+ wins. If the leprechauns dont bring home the chip, certain conversations need to be had!
Please keep doubting the pacers. We love it.
As a Laker fan, I’m rooting for Indiana.
As a boston fan this is 100 on the money. We're not in the business of winning USELESS Larry Bird trophies. WE WANT A RING
Absolutely no excuses for Boston if they lose in the NBA Finals this year. They are the favorites, and they are sole team left that’s actually made it to one..
With that said, I’m picking Minnesota..
As a Celtics fan I don’t think it’s an epic failure if we lose to the wolves. Objectively the wolves look like the best team in the league. It could go either way
There’s no way Austin said that.. how tf is it not on JT? Dude has been deemed the leader and one the faces of the league for like 6 years now. They’ve been to how many conference championships with him as the 1A? Boston now how the easiest route to a championship it’s ever had so far in the era of the Js and he’s really gonna say it’s not on him?
Media consistently trying to jinx and make pressure on the Celtics lmao
There’s so many topics you can talk about the Celtics, but every time they play this is the only topic they bring out
That’s intentional. They all want to see the Celtics lose. 95% of NBA media and NBA CZcams outside of Paul Pierce and Bill Simmons is praying to god the Celtics lose.
If edwards is next MJ anf face of league according to Espn, how is he not the one expected to win
They need to stop doing this MJ nonsense. All it does it set up the player for failure because nobody is going to replicate what MJ did. It's almost impossible.
@@Boston2Boca agreed. If twolves don’t win 🏆 gonna flip on him fast
So you're saying, dropping 51 points in a game 7 and 46 in a game 6, which were both win-or-go-home situations, deserves less credit than having a bad game 3? In a series where the score is either 1-1 or 2-0? Are you serious? 😂
Tatum is a top 10-15 player but it’s ludicrous to say he’s top 5/first team All NBA or a MVP level player. He could very easily develop into a MVP level player but he’s nowhere near that yet.
Even if they lose in the Finals, how is it a failure to achieve something 28 other teams didn't? Go Celtics!!! 💚☘
They’re like 30-4 without Porzingis
I just don’t understand the media, like besides last year the Celtics were never favoured to win the east let alone a championship.
2018 there two stars were injured and took the cavs to 7 games
2019 had way to many chefs in the kitchen and they imploded on themselves
2020 was a whole different animal where no one knew or was comfortable in that situation
2021 they got bounced in the first round by the nets when they were the 6th seed
2022 people were telling the Celtics to trade either brown or Tatum because they couldn’t win together with then they made that run where they beat top teams
2023 Tatum got injured in game 7 but no one brings that up
Greeny asks a question to Alan then doesn’t like the answer and adds his own.
The bias from ESPN is really coming out of these butthurt NY fans
They can't say they are a failure but then also say the wolves will win the title
Hillarious the hate the celts are getting whnb their the only top 2 seed left in either conference and the defending MBA and eastern comfrence chanpions already choked..
Naaa Cs MUST win it all
•Tatum can’t let any of the other 3 get a ring before him and/or they have no 1 or 2 seed Opps as a 1 Seed lol
Celtics are literally the 2005-2013 patriots
No they’re not. Stop the cap
I've always felt the narrative of winning is put on who the media feels strongly about. How in the world is Jayson not held to the same standards of winning other "super stars" are? Now it's about the organization and teams? Not the individual player? So why are they still on LeBron? It's the Lakers organization's fault. What did I just watch?
How Shannon a lakers fan but wanted the Celtics to beat the warriors in the finals a couple years ago
Now we got people acting like prozingas is Kareem lmaooooo
They on luka crazy for making his 2nd wcf but tatum makes a finals and 6 ecf and everyone taking about him crazy. Luke been in the league 1 less year than tatum
I know that porzingis is if but has anybody forgotten that the Celtics also have one of the best two-way players in the NBA with a championship pedigree in holiday. They also have one of the most improved players and Derek white. Veteran leadership. Yes it's a failure if they don't win the championship
Well first of all, I wouldn't just discount the Pacers. All they have do is get HOT and it won't matter who they are playing. The Indiana Pacers scored the most points by a team this season, with 10,110 points. So sometimes, things just don't Pan out. Nor expect Dallas nor the T-Wolves to be some Cake Walk. So no, it won't be an Epic Failure if they don't win. Sometimes, that just the way thing play out.
Hahn was talking all over the place!!!!!!
Minnesota will punch in the mouth any team that came out of the east.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
