Y’all giving the team with the best record by a landslide a B. Just disrespectful.
Bad advice, they need to prepare for the Knicks or Pacers. Never count your chickens before they hatch
Stop putting an asterisk on this playoff run. The Celtics lost game 7 last year when Tatum got hurt. Injuries are part of the NBA. AND Tatum hasn't missed any of his 108 career playoff games, and no one is giving him credit. I'm sick of hearing about how banged up teams are. Its like this every year.
How can you get a B+ if you get all the questions right but “the test wasn’t hard enough”
Tatum smacks Brown's hands away and no mention of it instead Chiney turns it into smack talk to his own teammate
Celtics been playing at like 70% energy and playing smart. Lots of iso ball to prevent injuries and conserving energy. #Casuals don’t see it this way.
Such Suppressed Viewpoints. Yes, we haven't Played ONE, Fully health opponent, Yet. But c'mon, like We have HANDELED TEAMS, Handled. A rating.
Tired of the media acting like Embiid didn’t play this postseason lol
"Didn't have my legs." LOL – Giannis dropped +50 in a closeout Game 6 to take the chip on 1 leg a few years back! Anything short of a chip – huge failure of a season.
0:13 ok, but how’d that work out? 🤔
Tryna put every star on the Lakers is disgusting.
Perk such a hater lol
ESPN doesn’t like this team. You play who’s in front of you. They had the #1 secured for MONTHS so they could get to the finals as fast as possible. That’s what they’re waiting for they aren’t at their peak yet and i think you’ll see them turn it on in this ecf series
Haven't been great yet but won 5 games 15+ 😂 celtics have to win by 30 or something?
They better not overlook the Knicks!
2024 Celtics vs current Western Conference playoff teams:
1-1 vs Thunder (both teams won at home)
2-0 vs Mavs
1-0 vs Timberwolves (OT game)
0-2 vs Nuggets (loss by a combined 8 points)
Boston Celtics 2024 NBA champion 🏆
FMVP: Jaylen Brown
Denver or Dallas will win it all. PERIOD.
People are underestimating the Celtics just because the west is having competitive series . The Celtics are going to win the finals in 6 games
serious question… has the East always been weak?? (including old gen)
JT feels that pressure already if the Celtics do not win the chip buss season.
