they also had more 30 point leads than 10 point deficits this year, which is just insane to think about
One of the best teams of all time? I think so
Hahahahaha that's actually gross considering 10 pts is literally 4 NBA possessions and teams literally go on 10-0 runs multiple times per game. Just nuts.
Is that true? That’s a better stat tbh
We had a bunch of leads blown also hahah let’s go Celtics
@@toonchi5264id say one of the most dominant, but not one of the best. It’s okay to admit they had an easy draw this year, while also admitting they dominated all playoffs and regular season.
The best version of this team is still to come, remember for all those teams who got the “it’s our first year together” excuse this year the Celtics also apply. They will be an even better team next year now that the culture is cemented.
to hear all of this and understand that what seemed like 90% of the analyst's on TV picked Dallas to win is absolutely insane. They can't possibly have believed it.
Lol preach!
Yeah shows how smart they are. Makes no sense.
this is what happens when media companies have a stake in sports betting
They just hatin
And the the sports betting companies that pay the networks $$$$$ in advertising make a killing off a bunch of bad bets based on the ‘analysts’ 😂😂😂🤔
All these stats were available for weeks and people still said "Imma bet actual money on Dallas"
Lol actual money
Yeah, because the Celtics had a history of choking, all the way back to 3-2 vs. LeBron. They were heavy favorites in the '22 Finals also according to oddsmakers and computer predictors. They inexplicably lost to an 8-seed last year.
@@karlsfakelaugh You call it "choking" when they had their two best players out for the season and they were led by a rookie and a sophomore against prime LeBron James.
They were what? How easy it is to lie and how hard it is to make a simple Google search:
2022 NBA Finals betting odds as of May 30, 2022:
Warriors -160
Celtics +130
They not only weren't heavy favorites, they were actually underdogs ACCORDING TO ODDS.
@@karlsfakelaugh Those same odds makers also told people that Mavs would win? Only way the Cs would have lost and have lost in the past were due to injuries in crucial moments. If Tatum didn't get hurt last year in game 7 on the very first play of the game, I really don't believe we would be having that conversation.
@@karlsfakelaughhistory of choking with 18 titles???heavy favourites Vs Golden State??they we're not even favourites in eastern conference 😅😅
The Celtics are also 1 of 8 teams to ever win both 80 games and a championship in the same season. According to stats this Celtics team is one of the best teams in NBA history. And I agree I think Joe Mazzulla deserves more credit than he gets. I think he's a lot better coach than people realize.
He’s the best coach , spolestra even acknowledged it last year when they came back 3-0
I was tired of hearing people say the celtics had a coaching disadvantage in nearly every series they played, like mazzulla's some youtuber they handed a whiteboard. He's legit. Got the better of jkidd for sure
The Celts also had a game in the Finals when their number of blocks, 9, equaled the assists they allowed to their opponents, also 9. Think about that. That's an incomprehensible stat.
That's awesome. I love that stat bro.
Holy moly thats a sick stat
Maine is Celtics country! So glad they won! They represent an entire region not just 1 city. LFG!!! ☘️
Man I love my Celtics. Happy to be from Boston and an all Boston sports fan, diehard Celtics fan.
Congratulations ☘️
@@articulaterich9992Thanks🍀
We are really witnessing a legendary team that we'll look back on in awe. People aren't appreciating this incredible run!
It really is incredible how many picked anyone other than the Celtics.
I need ESPN to have more content like this instead of guys yelling at each other over something they are both wrong about
Exactly. There's few intelligent analysts
Greeny was the only one on his own show that picked the Celtics! Monica McNutt- Mavs. Tim Legler - Mavs & Jay Williams- Mavs
And Kevin Wildes of FTF…
Modern NBA fans struggle to credit good "teams", everyone looks to who is the top guy or "big 3"
Spot on, the definition of missing the forest for the trees
What an intelligent comment on UA-cam I might have a heart attack lol
Man that 18 point lead in Game 5 to win their 18th NBA title!..
Game 5 played on 6/17. Boston area code 617
@@msakbo01yeah and in 08 they won it on 6/17 too
It was just meant to be it seems 🍀🏆
“The KD cheat code warriors” lol😂😂😅😅 that had me dying…
Durant broke the league
Everybody was like there’s no point of trying because everybody got smacked lol
Spurs would have beat them if GSW didn’t send Zaza to take out Kahwi in Game 1 they beat them by 30Pts earlier in the regular season
@@davis2k1234 i agree
People fail to realize that’s the 1st or second best team of all time. Who’s beating that team besides maybe mike and Scottie?
Media got shutdown by the Celtics. SAS is down right bad now
nah, they dont really care. Is the betting companies who pushed the dallas narrative so they could sway the betters... and they succeded
Media says what they are paid to say
SAS is the highest paid clown in all of media & entertainment. ESPN reportedly pays him $12 million a year, then add on speaking gigs, outside commentsry and endorsements. An enormous waste of money...
He’s rich i don’t think he’s worried about being wrong about a series
Greeny is the best in media. I feel like he's the only unbiased personality in sports. He speaks facts and appreciates teams the way he sees it.
86 Celts 50-1 at home, easily greatest (home) team ever, un argueable
They weren’t even tested at all. The y just dominated from oct to June. It’s a remarkable accomplishment
Saying they’re not close to the 2017 Warriors is crazy to me… that’s a lack of basketball knowledge/I.Q. This Celtics team match up better than that Warriors team.
-Jrue vs Steph would be very interesting
-White would neutralize Klay
-Tatum owns KD… that would be tough for KD
-Jaylen would be the X-Factor & the fact this Celtics team can switch everything on those vintage Warriors screens & guard at an elite level…
-now here’s the big question for the Warriors would their 5th & Draymond be almost unplayable because of their lack of an offensive threat?
Warriors were deadly with playing small ball which this Celtics team is Taylor made to not only neutralize but with Kristaps to take advantage of…
People need to stop looking for big names & the hype behind those big names & look at the actual game of basketball.
The fact is this Celtics team is a tough matchup for anyone in any era & they need to get that respect.
Agreed
I think a healthy Kp would be the X factor against the 17 Warriors i honestly think the Celtics could win.
KP is the center that GSW is trying to to find at that time. But not that young KP, the mature and tougher one.
I agree. A FULLY heathy KP, and this Celtics team would go to Game 7 and probably win against the 2017 GSW.
Great post Chris.. most people don't actually think through the actual matchups. The imbalance between the 2018 Warriors and the rest of the league makes it difficult for people to think about it objectively.
Crazy they blew like 6-7 games too lol. They could’ve easily gone 70-12, 71-11.
So true. They were probably closer to a 68-14 69-13 record. A couple games they absolutely should have one. That silly loss to the cavs up 20 in the 4th comes to mind.
@lukemanalli9737 yup like the lakers game in February that I traveled too see on my birthday. Such a disappointment
They're coming back next year too 👀
If they stay healthy, they could repeat.
Ahhhhh finally the Boston Celtics get the credit they deserve. Euphoric
Kinda. They still manage to twist it at the wnd that wven though they are within the company of the greats, they 'arguably' wouldnt be able to compete with them
Look at the Boston Celtics Man, so inspirational ☘️☘️☘️
The 80s Lakers never had any competition in the west. All the teams they played weren't in their class. No one said they had an easy road. The Celtics last year had many guys injured no one cried for them. In 2022 when the Celtics lost to the warriors. Jayson Tatum fractured his wrist against the bucks. Marcus smart was banged up. And Jalen Brown had cut his hand didn't hear anyone making injury excuses for the Celtics. All i hear is a lot of Celtics haters trying to deminish the Celtics championship.
PREACH FOR THE CLOWNS IN THE BACK!!!!
Exactly
The teams which they faced was ALL injured?
@@stasisdan4451 The Celtics were injured without KP for the whole freaking playoffs. The only team that was really injured was Miami as they were without Butler and rosier for the whole series. The second round was Cleveland in which Donovan Mitchell played and we smoked them with Mitchell before he got injured. Next round we smoked the pacers with halliburton before he got injured. To say that the Celtics had an easy path is fine but what you can't say is that they wouldn't have won the finals regardless. They were the best team in the league The only team that could have possibly beaten them was Denver.
@@prapra15777 Was all teams which u faced injured yes or not? all their TOP guys was injured, even in the finals Luka was with one leg.
From Miami Jimmy and Rozier
From Pacers Haliburton and Mathurin
From Cavs Mitchell AND Jarrett Allen
The weakest-easiest championship run ever, even Lebron didn't have so easy runs when he was in the old trash east
Celtic gone win again just off the fact they too deep ..and for yall knicks fans ...man...knicks starting 5 gone be 70 years old by the time thibs done with them ...
As a Celtics fan for 44 years the best thing about these Celtics is the management ( Danny,Brad ) didn’t listen to all the talking heads and break up Jayson and Jaylen and now we are setup to win a Championship for the foreseeable future
This is the best team since the cheat code warriors.
People are underestimating the playoff achievement without Porzingis virtually the whole time. He'd be a #1 for some teams.
The question of "path" is fundamentally dumb. No one, and I mean nobody, questions an NFL Superbowl winner that had enjoyed the reward of playing 1 fewer playoff game by virtue of producing the best record in their division & conference.
The Celts dominated the regular season, then turned it to "11" to play even better in the playoffs. Historic!
“Maybe now you could say I didn’t play a second, but in five years, you guys are going to forget. In ten years I’ll still be a champion. In 20 years I’ll tell my kids I probably started, and in 30 years I’ll probably tell them I got the MVP. So I’m probably not too worried about it.”🔥
Unless you’re the Patriots, then it gets held against you 🤣🤣🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Now bring on all the analysts who said they had no chance against Kyrie and Luka lmao.
Celtics were also 23-7 against the Western Conference during the regular season, including slapping the Mavs twice for all the people complaining how they play in the East.
Bookmakers knew it before the season started. They need the media to drove away bets from picking the Celtics, and they hit the jackpot big on the finals series where 80 percent of money were for Dallas to win.
Bingo
This Celtics team is a top 10 team of all time the numbers just tell us
Brad Steven’s “ Moneyball “ movie coming to a theater near u 😂
I'm so glad they put this out. This supports me saying that this is one of the best EVER!!!
Thank you, Greeny 🫡
It’s so hard to compare eras of basketball. I believe this Celtics team could hang with some of the best ever, because of our defense. Defense wins championships, and we dominated all year because of our defense. It constantly mystifies me how people sleep on how great this Celtics team is defensively as a team.
It’s the biggest reason we won it all. We shifted from an offense-first team to a defense-first team. This team was the best defensive team in the NBA this year with apologies to MN. I dare to suggest this team is the best defensive team of the past 10 years.
High volume offensive teams never have top 10 defenses numerically because the opposing team gets too many possessions. We had the highest volume offense in the NBA and still had the number 2 defense numerically. That’s unheard of in this era of basketball
Thank you from Australia! 🇦🇺
Top 5-6 team in nba history. Top 5 player in the league in Tatum, top 12 player in brown, 2 top 10 defenders in holiday and brown, the best stretch big and best PPP big in the league in Kristaps, 2 of the best shooters in the league off the bench in the white boys, Mr do it all in Horford, and the nerdiest coach in nba history at the young age of just 35. Incredible
Brown is not top 5 and tatum is top 3,he is over embiid and luka he plays better defense than both and hustles for rebounds and guards and plays more positions and has more success than both while being the number 1 option,and brown isn't top 12 because I can name better players than him granted more than half of those guys are not better defensively than brown so if u put him over guys like brunson,Mitchell,dame,trae,etc then I'm not mad he definitely handles pressure better than them but he isn't a number one option like them
Way to keep it real Greeney 💯
That number #1 stat though !! Crazy
I think a better analogy is there’s a difference between the best player and the best career
Perhaps the best compliment that can be given to the Celtics is that they were not being compared to the league, they were being compared to perfection. Some said they were a poor clutch team, and they lost 12 games which included 'clutch time'. Without those loses, the record would have been 76-6. They lost 6 non-clutch regular season games and 3 in the playoffs. With the loses to the Heat and Cavs, so many thought those were the beginning of the end. Both were followed by three straight wins to end the respective series. The loss to the Mavericks was completely taking their foot off the gas, leading to winning the championship at the Garden.
This celtics team is a fortress of a defencive team, which is built like a machine to operate with all parts operating together. Yes, idividually their players might not be amongs the greats, but as a team, theyre almost un beatable due to their defence. For some reason people disregard their ability to STOP anyone in front of them. The only two teams i could see celtics struggle are Shaq & cobe lakers; and Jokic noggets just because of the overwhelming size that celtics atruggle to stop. Any other team they would lock down and stop getting to 100 points whilst beating with ghreea on the other end. Which is exactly what weve seen all year this past season.
With the stats in front of him showing how dominant the Celticsis, Greeny still find a way to slender the Boston Celtics.
Not to mention that they didn’t lose 2 games in a row all season. And also won me a boat load of $ this year.
in sports you have one job . Dominate your competition as a team
job done
good show shout out the NBA
The league is stronger than it use to be because the pool of talent is the whole world
So sick of the no Butler, no Mitchell, no Haliburton talk, guess what? No Porzingas! Healthy Porzingas even if the other teams had those guys we still would of won probably more dominant so
Holding dallas under 100 in 4 out of 5 finals games probably resonates the most for me. All you heard going in was "How do they stop luka and kyrie?" Luka had a fine series but kyrie obviously still needs therapy for his boston ptsd
The NBA is also a war of attrition staying healthy and being available at the end is part of winning taking care of your body. Injuries happen but there's something to be said for staying healthy.
All them crazy stats but doubted all year.
Thank you Greeny!
The Celtics could’ve easily swept the finals. They were so good and so confident they intentionally gave game 4 away just to win at home. They literally played with their food even though everyone said whoever comes out of the west is going to beat them. They dominated the mavs and every team all season. Only team they lost two games two was the nuggets. Who btw, like you said had an easy path to the championship left last year but everyone gave jokic high praise. The only reason this Celtics team isn’t getting any credit and people make every excuse to invalidate their success is because it’s a Boston team.
They’re one of the top 10 teams in NBA history. Let’s just appreciate that fact and root for them to make a run of and win multiple titles because they have some of the best guys in the league who should be well liked and respected be everybody…
And I’m a Van Exel era Lake Show guy 😂
smashed da lot LFG Celtics ☘️
The 2017 Warriors is #1 for as Greatest teams with the 96 Bulls close second. But yes i do put this Celtics team in my top 7 All-time.
What an epic!
It would be fascinating to see this year's Celtics play against a 1980's Celtics or Lakers team. Those teams in the 80's hadn't unlocked the full potential of the 3-pointer yet. So, I wonder how they would fare. The 80's teams had dominant low post games - but buckets from the low post only count for 2 points while the 2024 Celtics would be raining down three pointers. Is the modern game, taking advantage of the three point line, inherently better than the game from the 80's? It would be a blast to watch!
Great stats
Lifelong Green fan is gobsmacked by #1. This team wasn't a Grizzly bear. This team was a Giant Polar Bear. Holy sh-wow!
Very nice video, thank you so much 👍
One stat they missed:
“Al Horford is the only Celtic player, in history, to have personally been gifted one of our band’s CDs.”
-Oserō💚
P.S. We love you Big Al
people that hate boston are just coping right now, but in 5-10 years none of their cope will matter and they'll be historically viewed the way they should be
Creativity knows no bounds here. Keep pushing the envelope!
I love the Celtics 😭☘️
The Celtics is a good team, but if they win the chip next year we'll see greatness.
I’m a Celtics fan , they were 0-2 vs Denver… next year they better out , we coming for back to back
Finally facts that show that all those Celtic haters out there are idiots and jealous.
7:56 facts, people are saying it was a mickey mouse run because the teams were hurt, as if we wouldnt have beat them anyway.
They acting surprised because they slept on that narrative of "They're not good enough," "not battle-tested," "JT is unhappy about not winning EC MVP/ F MVP", "C's run was TOO easy," etc. etc. etc.
most of the playoffs they were without Porzingis, their 3rd 20-pt scorer and the most efficient one at that.
This team was amazing and beat everyone, not their fault who they played and who was hurt.
I will also say for all those who said we had an easy path, all 3 teams Celtics played put up more of a fight than Dallas did who all said would beat the Celtics. They were blown out all 4 games did come back enough to make the score close but never was it down to the wire like it was with the 3 teams before them…….
All these stats and they say the Celtics can't win against the top 5 teams in the West is crazy.
This team would absolutely smoke any team from the 80s, if you were able to just magically transport them to the same time and place, but it's not really a fair comparison. Basketball has changed a lot. The amount of skill and shooting is something those teams would have never seen before. They'd be down 30 before they even realized how much of a problem the 3 ball creates for defenses in a moderb 5 out offense.
But somehow every fan outside of Boston said Dallas was gonna run over them like a speed bump
As a Boston fan, who’ve been critical, I was always skeptical. But only cause of Denver and Milwaukee. Not a single other team was going to win more than a game in a series, healthy or not. They are as good as it says on paper. Have been all year.
This is why it was ridiculous for so many analysts to pick against them
Wondering, if Celtics had to play as many games as Mavs in more difficult West or Mavs went so fast to the finals - would it be diffrent? Luka was so tired (he needs to be more fit for sure) Boston was better team and I am extremly happy for them to win 18th title - more to come I hope in few next years !!!
Good stats!
This might be low key one of the best teams ever.
You getting this nick wright?
His name is Nick Wrong. You know that!
Is Mazulla the next Spoelstra?
Still baffling that so many analysts picked the Mavericks. It's embarrassing.
It depends on the era these teams play.
I don’t think the older teams have the 3 point shooting to match this C’s team in todays era of basketball
It would be a closer series than many think depending on what rules these teams would be playing under
Celtics is a machine, they play with ease and grace without major injuries just different level.
And they say east teams are weak? Well this season just made the west teams looked like a piece of cake 😂
Injuries are part of the game! Being available is a sign of strength, but wether or not everyone is healthy they will beat then all.
I don't get why everyone has to point out the Celtics path to the finals being easy while never mentioning the Nuggets facing a play in team in the finals that was only in the finals because of historically hot shooting (50% from 3 in three ECF wins) and regressed to the norm in the finals.
In Brad and Joe we trust!☘🏆
They did most of that run WITHOUT PORZINGAS!
The 27-8 record against the west should shut the mouths of anyone saying western conference was capable of providing a team that could compete with Celtics.
The western conference teams were already down on energy before the playoffs even began. Because it was a slugfest. The Western conference is on a whole other level than the Eastern one
@@ashokathegreat4534 …nothing but excuses, the Celtics dominated both conferences in the regular season and the playoffs.
Keep wallowing in your misery.
Tom Brady is EASILY the BEST QB of all time.
a healthy bucks vs healthy celtics would've been a coin toss honestly. we'll find out next season.
The Pacers should feel very good about how they played. It was the hardest sweep ever.
BEST TEAM
Do people even realize what ESPN did? They knew Boston was going to dominate the playoffs, so they took a cue from Fox News and had their "expert analysts" come on TV to sow doubt in Boston, call them untested and their competition weak, and hype up the Mavs, calling Luka & Kyrie the greatest backcourt ever. And they succeeded to the point that 89% of all bets placed on ESPNbet prior to the Finals were for the Mavs, despite the fact that Boston was heavily favored by Vegas. So ESPN made a fortune trolling America. They convinced people that Boston sucked and that Dallas was unstoppable. And most of that 89% were the "I do my own research " crowd 😂.
A season long, healthy Porzingas would make a big difference in the best vs greatest comparison.
BANG BANG BANG THE CELTIC DRUM
"But they are not battle tested" they said 😂
People really thought that Dallas was going to win, they have been good all season. Numbers don’t like.
