Congratulations to the Victors. The Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (112-88). I said this series was going to seven games, and the best team won.
BEANTOWN IS IN THE HOUSE!!! GO, CELTICS, GO!!!
That’s not my MVP.
4:18 can somebody explain this to me? How is the call THAT late? Watch the ref who calls it… he just sits there staring until literally like 5 seconds after the contact happens. What the actual fuck was this?
JT eliminate the whole 76ixers
Celtics all the way.
Philly will never win a chip
Why the hell embid kept guarding tatum
There are 3 certainties in life…death, taxes, and nobody can guard number 0
Don’t let my girlfriend see jayson tatum and these highlights 😂
Miami in trouble
I will be surprise if Doc won't be fired, That coach is so overrated
If the Celtics play like that all the time they won’t lose another game in the playoffs
When is this guy going to realize that playing hero ball and keep shooting 3s is never going to be enough to win a championship 😒 You need to try to run as many plays with your teammates to get them ready as much as possible to use when inevitably shots don’t go in during intensive defense in the finals. Oh sorry i forgot, he’s only 19.
must be haunting for Harden at this point. to have a game 7 where you shoot like 0-23 from three against Golden State to lose Game 7, and now to have a 7 minute scoreless stretch to lose against the Celtics to lose another game 7.
Ano ba mga galaw, ang layo pati gsw at Lakers.
What happened to this before ??? But damn Jayson Tatum been snapping this year
Wait so Jokic in WCF and joel embiid couldn't make it james harden was able to spot him game 1 lol. Oh yeah Joel Embild can guard pick an roll can't he Celtics ate him for dinner using that all day long…
“Trust the process of elimination “
CELTICS OWNS 76ERS
Tatum might have played below his standards for most of the series but he definitely came to play when it mattered most, in both the 4th quarter of game 6 and the entirety of game 7
Jayson needs to stop being so inconsistent … this is the player he needs to be at all time …. JB is still my boy always consistent
One word WOW!! The home crowd was jet fuel for them.
Y whatsup
Yo I don't care
I’m a Blazer fan But I hope Celtics win agains may heat and win it all they have a very good team 🔥🔥💪
watching non stop 3 pointers is so boring
WHO IS YOUR MVP NOW? CELTICS FOR LIFE!
My babies
F*** You Boston Celtics Won, I wanna 76ers won at the end.
