Actually the Bucks/Celtics rivalry goes back further than the Bird era. It goes back to an epic NBA finals they played in 1974.
Edit: 400 likes!!!
The rivalry doesn't go back that far considering after that finals they were barely ever really rivals until now
@@user-jv6pl1pc7t So Don Nelson bolting from the Celtics to coach the Bucks didn't spur bad blood that only got worse as the 80s progressed? The Bucks jacking them up in the second round in '83 and the wars that followed never happened?
Okay zoomer.
@@user-jv6pl1pc7t haha ok casual
@@GetBenched2010 yikes okay zoomer in the year 2022
They were both eastern conference teams how could they play in the finals
It’s about time the NBA playoffs saw a new rivalry in a sport where team rivalries feel rare compared to other leagues.
Warrriors vs Grizzles might develop as a rivalry of sorts!
Team rivalries in pro sports are a lame concept. Works better for college sports.
@@IllMatic97 well the teams are also way better in pro sports with better storylines
@@IllMatic97 at least in the usa
In the rest of the world wars can be caused by stuff that happened 50 years ago and escalated at some point lol
@@prometheus3498 heck the celtics and warriors could start up a rivalry if they both make the finals this year, which the probably both will
Horford is also a great foil against Embiid. His basketball IQ and mobility are his greatest strengths
That’s why Philly paid Al so much money in 2019, they wanted his greatest kryptonite on the same team as their star player. Unfortunately for them, Al did not gel with the team, either that or they used him incorrectly. I’m banking on the latter being the issue.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Boston's AL Horford is a dirty cheapshot player.He is today's NBA version of Detroits Bill Laimbeer.
@@manuelvallejo6393 wouldn't Draymond Green be a better comparison to Laimbeer
I feel like a conversation that should’ve been had is the Heat and Celtics also. Going back to the wade vs big 3, big 3 vs big 3, to the last few years. As a heat fan, I know that they’re our main rival of the last decade
The Celtics Lakers rivalry renewed was much more fun and interesting
I guess you could also link the Miami-Boston rivalry with Lebron’s rivalry against the Celtics big 3 in the right before he joined the Heat yknow just for more drama
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
With more and more opportunities to embarrass them #Heat
That rivalry died wen bron left
In my opinion, we are seeing a triangle of rivalries right now. Milwaukee>Miami>Boston. These 3 teams eliminated one another the past 3 years and been to the finals and potentially this year with Miami/Boston. These teams run the east right now and it's amazing to see! I won't put Brooklyn in here cuz they haven't made the ECF.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Horford has always been an underrated big man in the league.
He's always been the back bone to the Celtics defense, getting nicknames such as the embiid stopper or the giannis stopper over that last few years in the playoffs. play like that from big Al is why I will always state whenever I can that the Celtics should retire his jersey when he's done.
@@nickbutter1913 he doesn’t have the numbers for it sadly
@@philleotardo5829 I don't think the numbers matter that much but with a storied franchise like Boston, he needs a ring with his current stats.
@@nickbutter1913 for a franchise like the Celtics it does. I don’t think they would retire a career 13 ppg scorer in this era I love him and would be fine with it but I doubt it. I’d be shocked if his number gets retired
@@philleotardo5829 They would have to retire #9 first. Al has had some big moments and done well in green, but he can't be considered over Rondo(recent allegations not-withstanding)
The fun thing is that Horford and Giannis have mutual respect for each other. I don’t think Horford ever said so, but looking at his mannerisms during game it shows sometimes.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
The contemporary rivalry (2018-Present) had already given us moments:
Scary Terry vs I don't know him
"The series is over" prediction
Giannis vs Tatum in a game of "who can score more points"
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Lol i remember that moment Bledsoe disrespecting Terry. Everything went downhill for him ever since. Now he can barely even stay in the rotation
Khris the Boston strangler middleton i remember watching this series back in 2018 some fun times got to see kyrie not showing up in 2019 after sweeping my pacers.
Yep...khris can be quite inconsistent but historically he's been great against the celtics...if he played maybe it would have been a different outcome...but that's hypothetical..the celtics played great and deserved to win.
Making a video like this and not mentioning the Scary Terry/Drew Bledsoe/Eric Bledsoe situation is CRIMINAL
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Those Moncrief Bucks teams from the 80's were excellent (50+ wins) for about ten years but would always get beaten by the Celtics or the 76ers in the playoffs.....so the Bucks and Celtics have been long time rivals.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
The bucks in the 80s was pretty good the 86 Celtics squad was the best Celtics championship since 83 I discovered NBA basketball
Bucks were the only team to ever sweep Larry bird
These teams have nothing but respect for each other. This year's series they showed it. Even tho it was a very intense, physical and extenuating series, there were no incidents whatsoever. Maybe some words in game 7 Bobby threw in frustration, but he is an amazing competitor and loosing was demolishing for him. As a Celtics fan, seeing them just going out and play deeply impressed me. Nothing but respect for Giannis, Mike Budenholzer and the rest of the Bucks.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
crazy thing is andy left a lot of details out of this like the bledsoe/ rozier beef, season opener tatum game winner on giannis, grant williams game 7
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Truly tho it’s about time that we’ve seen new rivalries in sports like this , it wouldn’t surprise me if they keep meeting in the playoffs for the next decade to come
And considering they’ve played each other
2018, 2019 & 2022 , this rivalry is going to be quite amazing
The heat and Celtics are also an amazing marquee rivalry, from wade vs Allen Garnett and pierce, from lebron, Wade, and bosh vs Allen pierce and Garnett, to butler, herro, and bam vs Tatum brown and smart, and now butler herro bam and Lowry vs horford Tatum brown and Williams
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
If Giannis leaves Milwaukee then I don’t see that happening
in 2018, what shifted the tide more into the Celtics' favor was *Scary Terry > Drew Bledsoe* (who also caused them their 2019 lost to Raptors)
I forgot all about the "Drew Bledsoe" thing until I saw Terry Rosier in a Celtics Jersey. The bitterness from Eric Bledsoe was hilarious.
Stop it. U blind or something Brook Lopez is the reason why Milwaukee lost that series
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
@@theetruth8626 brook lopez wasn't on the bucks in 2018. He signed with them in 2019 and they lost that series because Bledsoe was horrible and Bud adjustments wasnt good and got outcoached by nurse and middleton was inconsistent
It really does. Some of the battles that they have had over the years were amazing. And we added one more to the list in 2022.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Great research. Rivalry started in the 80s. Not the 70s when they played 7 games for the championship in 74.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
The Bucks and the Celtics seem like they have a good rivalry also based on the fact that they are both teams from the north and have the green jerseys.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Would a healthy Kris Middleton have made the biggest difference this year for Milwaukee?
UH YES FOR SURE . And they definitely did missed his presence in that series , just unfortunate he had to went down after Chicago in the first round
Even I think Middleton is too on and off but buck is better team with him no doubt and they still push to game 7 when net got sweep
Does a bear sh*t in the woods ?
Would a healthy Kyrie and James Harden have made a difference last year for BKN? This isn't a one sided thing. Injuries happen, even the Celtics played without their all defensive center for most of this series.
Celtics would be in Cancun in 5 games if Bucks had Middleton everyone knows that
Who else remembers the good old "Scary Terry"
Scary Terry vs Who is Bledsoe was a fun rivalry 😂
This makes sense. This detailed analysis made me understand this rivalry.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
It very much does!! Love these playoff rivalries!! It defines legacies!!
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
I remember the 2018 series we had when Giannis won most improved, as a bucks fan the Celtics always cause a headache
Came back here now that Damian Lillard is in Milwaukee and Jrue Holiday is in Boston. Time for this rivalry to REALLY heat up!
Hey I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a few years now & this video feels fresh Andy great job :) looking forward to new content
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Hope u make more content, been watching your vids for 4 yrs already
this might be his last video bro
@@REALG444 i mean more often
@@ryu-ken how'd you come up with that theory?
Celtics-heat might be a good one as well. 2 ECF in 3 years, that's a good start.
The longest rivalry in the nba rn are the kings vs the playoffs.
Damn 😂😂😂
Two aspects that you failed to mention: One was the Terry Rozier vs Eric Bledsoe rivalry in their 2018 series where Rozier called Eric Bledsoe "Drew Bledsoe." When Bledsoe was asked about it he said he didn't know who rozier was, even though Rozier was roasting him all series. Rozier proceeded to wear a Drew Bledsoe jersey to the arena, to troll Bledsoe even more, who played horribly the entire series.
Also, due to Kyrie's injury in 2018 right before the playoffs, there were rumors that a lot of teams in the east were intentionally losing games to try to play the Celtics, thinking they were an easy out. Milwaukee was one of those teams. Jayson Tatum mentions on JJ Reddicks podcast that they took that personally. Also all the media and pundits picked the celtics to lose to the bucks because they didnt have kyrie. They also picked them to lose to the sixers saying the sixers had the two best players in the series. All of these things going into the playoffs made the Bucks vs Celtics first round series very contested and shouldn't be forgotten.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Didnt know teams always wanted to play the celtics in 2018 because they thought it would be easier matchup. I remember a lot of people were doubting on that team. But proved doubters wrong
Nostalgic Intro! I love it!
Great video keeep up man I know it is going to be a banger
Yo it’s wild if you think about how good horford does against star big men. I mean Philly literally signed him just so he couldn’t guard Embiid any more lmao.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
The Celtics-Bucks rivalry is fun to watch because both teams play super hard but they also respect each other. For such a physical series its surprising it never got chippy after the whistle, both teams were just focused.
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
It kinda make sense! They both rock the color "Green"
Can you make a new video of the Kings’ historic playoff drought?
or the tim donaghy robbed kings would be better
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
ive said it once and ill say it again, andy hoops is the best channel to watch while you eat
Nice one sided information, great job...
Bucks-Celtics goes all the way back to the ‘74 Finals, we put up a stinker in game 7 at home and lost, which would end up being Oscar Robertson’s last game. What interesting is that this Finals matchup will most likely never happen again since that was before the Bucks joined the Eastern conference.
The 80s Bucks were a good team, between 1980-86 they’d win 50 to 60 games and end up as the 2nd seed, but they always had Bird’s Celtics or Dr J’s 76ers in front of them. And by the time that Boston and Philly were starting to slow down, it was the same time that the Pistons, Hawks, Bulls, and Knicks were getting good.
Then both teams fell off a cliff in the 90s, and neither would be title contenders again at the same time until now.
Except for the Celtics big 3 era in the late 00’s-early 10’s
@@wilderac2250 That’s why I said both teams being title contenders. The Bucks made the ECF in 2001 and wouldn’t get anywhere close to it again until 2019, all while the Celtics had a few title runs.
@@lrkcm373 ironically both the bucks run to the ECF in 2001 and the Celtics 00’s finals run involved Ray Allen
Horford and Lebron are giannis kyptonite
We all love a good rivalry. But the league is pretty open as to who the champions will be every year. A healthy LA teams, non-chokung Suns, healthy warriors especially with wiseman, healthy nuggets, healthy bucks and nets, Celtics and Miami... it's getting pretty crazy
Celtics whine...like a ton. I never seen a team cry so hard🤣 but they did win the series.
They wanna get talk about physical defense when playing kd...then complain when Giannis plays physical offense..it is what it is...they deserved the win regardless.
@@ezeuzuka3344Giannis plays football 😂😂
what's up Andy 🔥🔥✊
Giannis has the superstar whistle
yet let's be honest he gets hacked more than he gets calls. nba refs gotta be consistent... like i seen giannis get hammered on a drive, nothing but then he gets a light tap on the shoulder and he's headed to the line. be consistent!!!
Can you make more content about “what happened to *specific player”
Is Andy hoops a celtics fan?...his commentary felt a bit personal against Giannis ngl😂
I've always thought that Al Horford was an underrated player. He's not a flashy player but he always does the dirty work.
Celtics/Pistons rivalry, Celtics/Lakers rivalry, Celtics/Sixers rivalry, Celtics/Bucks rivalry, and to an extent Celtics/Heat rivalry. Boston knows a rival when they see a rival
Don't forget about the Celtics/Knicks rivalry as well just saying.
@@zacharythomason7359 that too. Thanks 👍
Probably just cuz we’re the best franchise in the league
@@eamparbeng Np You're welcome 😎💙❤💚💎⭐
Can’t believe you didn’t mention Scary Terry and Eric (Drew) Bledsoe beef that ended with actual Drew Bledsoe showing up to the game
By the end of the 2020s decade, this should definitely be mentioned in the top 10 rivalry of the decade and a top 10 of all-time.
I'm excited to watch more for this great rivalry grow, especially if both reach the conference finals by the first time.
The trumpets are back y’all.
You know what that means, we got ourselves a banger from Andy and that it’s true that Bucks and Celtics are big rivals
Rockets vs Warriors. It was always a primetime game with James harden and splash bros
Boston teams seem to have thousands of rivalries
Nice.
Do a mock draft or a Draft related topic
Half of the giannis's points are offensive fouls
Overrated player
*players flopping and blocking his driving path
@@ezeuzuka3344 Blocking driving path is a legal defensive strategy though. It's called taking a charge
@@suiken3149 and its also a blocking foul lol😂
@@ezeuzuka3344 You dont know what a blocking foul is, lol.
Dose every great player have a rivalry with the Celtics?
Almost everyone but I can think of a few that hadn't have one yet
I think Celts vs Bucks will have to battle it out for a long run too
could you do a part 2 about the rivalry in the 80s, celtics v. bucks.
You guys think we have already set the playoff record for most double digit blowouts already?? I think we did that in the middle of the second round lol!!
czcams.com/video/7kKbhXmaQlY/video.html
Always have been a big Al fan. Pretty much the ideal teammate you want and NEED to make a run
How's going Andy?
Horford so underrated
He can guard guys like Antetokounmpo and Embiid
Bruh stop it
As a Celtics fan I personally don't feel like there's a rivalry with the Bucks brewing. I feel more of a rivalry with the Heat, Nets, or even 76ers before the Bucks.
Also the difference in the 2022 playoff series between the Bucks and Celtics is that Khris Middleton wasn't able to play in that series for the Bucks due to injury, could have been different if he played.
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
I remember this big time rivalry in sunday mixed basketball and I'd fill in sometimes it was half fights every game pushing the boundaries with pushing, tripping, whacking, smacking and a horrendous amount of hot air fighting word's! Ther wasn't many teams in the mixed boy/girl league so they'd play a lot of games against each other probably 4-6 times a season cause every year they would meet in the grand final cause they were the very best in arguably the Biggest Rivalry in that Sunday mixed basketball leagues history! 💁
Warriors/Cavs didnt have that bite as a rivalry
It was mainly steph/kd vs lebron
@@marioaustin9312 idk a KD, I just know snek
Could have mentioned the Bledsoe and Tatum back and forth they had. Where Bledsoe didn't know who Tatum was.. now look where they are at. Poor Bledsoe :(
How do you not mentiion drew bledsoe
Isn't that how they treat LeChok? He's driving in, you touch him then he's shooting free throws. He's unstoppable when refs are on his side.
Regarding Smart's play, his left foot was still moving when contacting Giannis.
The last image with Tatum and giannis looks like an nba 2k half time screenshot
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed the bias towards Giannis by the refs.
That game on the bubbe was ridiculous, the bucks are a good team they don't need that amount of help. That foul on theis was a flagrant and that was his 6th foul, if it would be the other way around the refs would call the 6th on smart and call a flagrant 2 on theis.
idk besides the 2018 series none of their matchups have really been close. I know this recent series went to 7 but didn’t really feel that close
Giannis gets away with lot of travels
Travels, Push offs and charges. I don't dislike the guy but the officiating is very questionable when it comes to him.
@@FAlynn92 agree, not hating on him, but officiaiting is questionable. I have same feeling for Lebron, and I had for Harden but doesn't care now cuz he is washed
Sometimes he does....but alot of "travels" are just gather steps and his 2 long strides..he makes it look like a travel because of his long strides
@@FAlynn92 "Travels, Push offs and charges" - I dont disagree with that, but it all comes at a price: Giannis is fouled on almost every single attempt. It's like the celtics coach said: how were you supposed to guard that if you are not allowed to be physical with him? Well the answer is: you cant guard him. And thats the trade: they only call a fraction of the fouls vs Giannis and in return he gets away with some violations.
As a bucks fan, it amazes me that 4 years ago we actually started John Henson and Tony Snell in the playoffs 😂
Is John Henson in the league anymore? That's probably the last time I've seen him on an nba team was 2018
@@juliangarcia1221 I don't think so. I know he was on Cleveland in 2019, but he's probably retired now
@@vitalymaliarov696 yeah I almost forgot he was on the Cavs cuz he was part of the Andre Drummond trade
The 2019 series I was more angry at Kyrie than the refs or any Bucks players.
As a Celtics fan that’s exactly what he does but as a Giannis fan I’m glad it works just not when it’s against my team lol
The funny thing is that the Giannis and red thing still happens till this day
@9:10 Horford knees Giannis in the knee... Savvy veteran move. A little dirty.
In the end the bucks have a championship, the Celtics are a rival I admit, but at this point I’m happy with our ring
6:55
I’m a Greek freak fan but that was an offensive foul.
Giannis starts his jumping motion while Smart is still moving. When Giannis leaves the ground Smart is still in the restricted area.
That was not an offensive foul.
1974 NBA finals - Celtics beat Bucks in 7 games
Yes, the Bucks played in the western conference back then
@@boksugoks9312 which makes way more sense than the grizzlies
I feel like the Celtics rn have rivalries with the bucks, the heat, the 76ers, and the nets all at once. They make it far every year so all of the consistent team knows the east are rivals
I wouldn't say the Heat are for the fact that every time they've face off in the playoffs, with the exception of the first in 2010, Miami has beaten them (we'll see how this year goes) and Boston has been beating Philly in the playoffs every match up since 1985. Embiid even said it isn't a rivalry for that reason
Wait, there's a rivalry? These have been my two favorite teams for most of my life
Lol
I feel like their series in 2018 was a precursor to Giannis greatness. Or at least it gave me a great placemark.
Are we not used to Giannis getting all the foul calls, especially when his obvious offensive fouls are called as defensive fouls?
Don't underestimate his free-throw numbers. Although he barely makes them, there is one team foul in a FT.
What a heartwarming story the NBA is weaving. A poor Greek kid making his way into the NBA, and after much struggles, becomes a superstar and NBA champion. A stunningly spectacular and unscrupulous business move by Adam Silver.
Raptors-Sixers rivalry video
Al horford gives Embiid a hard time also and that's one of the reasons why they signed him earlier
You go to sleep at night thinking about Jimmy Highroller
This is so true giannis gets away with everything it’s like harden not getting travelling fouls
Alright, I’m now officially convinced that these two teams don’t like each other
12 midnight in the Philippines. About to sleep then i received a notification for this video. Let's get up!😆
Forgot to mention the Boston strangler didn't play the 2022 series
2018 match up is rozier v bledsoe rivalry, bucks lose game 7 and bledsoe still doesn’t know who scary terry is
The shit in the finals wasn't fouls refs gave him favorable calls how do you explain game 3
8:46 Not in 2k tho 😂😂😂
Hard to call this a rivalry. A team that has two titles against one that has 17. The nba has been dominated so much by Celtics and Lakers that it's hard for any other rivalries to develop. Perhaps heat and spurs but again heat were only good for a few years.
And unlike other sports there aren't many reasons outside of the sporting events for a rivalry to arise like politics for example as it happens all the time in Europe. Like Barcelona Real was a rivalry even when Barcelona wasn't winning titles because of the political and social background of these two teams.
I feel that over the last decade the buck’s rivalry has been the heat. Their games are always so one sided. We either blow them out or they do the same to us. Having gone to some of their games, I really have grown to not like Miami, respectfully 😂
