"She's cute. You'll like her." Brou got me with that one 🤣🤣🤣💀
I died 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not ready 😂😂😂
Took me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wildes: “I’m not ready guys, I’m not ready”
Bru: “She’s cute…” 😂🏀
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
“She’s cute you’ll like her” funniest line Brou ever said and it was improv makes it even better 😂
"Have you ever heard about asstocks?"
18:01 Love Brou being a Godlike wingman LMAO
Celtics gotta be one of the only teams in history where they start the playoffs going 9-2 and people think they are underperforming
Right. They were not impressed in the celtic's performance, but rue the miss opportunities of the pacers, focusing in particular the inbound botch plays that lead to the siakam TO and Jalen's game tying 3 and Haliburton's TO. They failed to mention that at least 6 pacers scored double digit figures and shot more than 50 percent on the floor. These media people will still find fault in the celtics if they win the rest of the games easily (easy sched, guilded pathway, were expected to win) by saying they had an easier path and will not be impressed when JT doesn't score as much and struggle. I think these media people are so obsesses with JT becoming Kobe or Jordan that anything less will be a let down.
The hate is insane Always haha
They are playing teams that should be play-in teams if they were in the west they are a 5 seed at best
@@littleguyjoe22a 5 seed? The west that the Celtics were 23-7 against? 😂😂😂😂😂. So many clueless wonders on here
@littleguyjoe22
Did you watch any game between West teams and Boston?
Boston demolished the West.
Don't you dare touch Brou's Versace robe😂😂
*Nobody Touches the Versace Robe* !!!!
All _nobody_ does is get him a sandwich!!!!
sbob made it to the nba is crazy 😂
I love it😂
🤣🤣
Y'all 😂 what is sbob because my mind says SpongeBob 😂 I'm missing the joke 😭
@creshondasmith4448 super bowl or bust
@@elwaytorrance3316 thank you!!
Ant scored 16 on 25% shooting and people were taking “face of the NBA” and “next Jordan”. Tatum gets 36, 12 and was +20, while also outscoring the Pacers himself in OT, and it’s “yeah I’m not sure he’s that guy”. The way everyone in the media just chooses to ignore everything he’s done is crazy
Jason Tatum has had way more success than any young guy 26 and younger, yet he gets no notoriety... to me hes the most likely to win the most championships... kevin durant cant even lead a team even half as good as jason tatum outside of gsw
Tatum is the face of the NBA I don’t care what anyone says
its like tatum is the only player expected to be perfect, and if hes not then thats a reason boston cant win. if he scores 40 but misses some shots in the 4th then hes not clutch. if he scores 20 but helps them in the clutch, then hes not carrying his team enough. people just hate boston
Exactly
he's second on the disrespect meter only to LeBron
That’s what come with being a superstar
Nothing new. That's how LeBrons been done his entire career
@@terrellsmith1349didn’t hear that with Ant when he shot 6/24. I just heard how amazing his defense was and how he helped the team win in other ways. It’s narrative driven based on who people like and don’t like.
The hate on Tatum is far too much, but I love it tho
I hope that fuels him
It hasn’t fueled him for 6 years, I wouldn’t bet on it now
@@swish52621 Jordan won in year 8. Lebron took 9.
Both of them did not have one of the best teams in the nba, actually had trash teams 😂😂 tatum has the celtics😂
Hes the new kobe without the flair
@@javierlopez5479so whats your logic for a 73-9 team blowing. 3-1 lead. Wait! Let me guess, it was all rigged.
Nick keeps ragging on Tatum after he just led all players on BOTH teams in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals in the Cleveland series. Nick is holding Tatum to the kind of standard that he gets angry about other people holding Lebron to.
Lol stoooopppp. Just saying things
Until those guys win a championship I'll keep seeing them like excellent soldiers in training camp... that still have something to prove in war field.
@@denzowillis2590Because LeBron didn't have to play on super teams to win his. 🙄🤫
Let Luka lead in all relevant statistics for a series and nick will throw a tantrum over Luka not getting more respect
he stay moving the goalpost
As a huge Celtics fan, that game was freaking awesome. For the past few years, we would have lost that game. This team never gave up on defense and that’s why we won. Indiana made a mistake and we never let up. Brown hitting that tree also helped.😂.
Incredible comeback simply incredible
Indiana made mistakes but Boston took that game from them. Good teams do that
absolutely a throw by Indy, doesn't matter what Boston does that game was over if Indy remembers how to play basic basketball on any of the final plays
This is exactly what I’m saying for sure! I said the same thing last night after the game. Most exciting game for us of the post season
@@adrianb2851 I know it was actually fun to watch a exciting game.
Tatum might be the first guy to score 36 points in a win and have everyone do nothing but continue to build negative narratives around him
Win a championship
THIS
He's soft.
Cause he proves again and again that he chokes. Can't have high hopes for someone thats inconsistent. Like last year when he got 50 on phily and then he chokes against the heat. He has to win the champion to change the narrative
@@DRGOAT999Let me get this straight, so you’re calling him a choker because he scored 51 points in a Game 7? Makes perfect sense.
The only time Tatum “choked” was in his first NBA Finals at 24 years old, which plenty of guys have done.
Catch 22: win in a blowout - they weren’t even tested; win in the last 10 seconds - how did they allow themselves to be tested.
Okay, so Boston wins a game they've lost A TON in the past, and you're complaining about it? You never apologize for winning a game. Boston WON. Tatum BALLED OUT in the OT.
As a Pacer fan, I don't want to hear the Celtics complain or act like victims. Literally every media member is saying you're going to win, and no one takes the Pacers even somewhat serious. lol Stop it.
@@YerpDerp17 Let's face it, BOTH teams are being disrespected; but you're right, the Pacers are disrespected more.
@@YerpDerp17 bro that don't matter the celtics won with insane heroics and all you hear literally ALL is how dissapointing it was that the game was even close like bro its the conference finals against a great team. Cant give the celtics any credit until they win by 50 in the finals
@@YerpDerp17 These guys themselves stated that they disregard every metric that shows that this Celtic team is great.
Tatum balls out in the OT, and they say he’s not clutch.
Boston comes through in a tough circumstance, where the Pacers play their style and push Boston to the brink, and they say it means nothing.
I refuse to disrespect the Pacers. They 100% can beat this team if Boston slips up. I’ve seen Tatum and Brown fall short in a game like this before, and the fact they came through should mean something.
Celts out shot pacers in fts 30-10 & the 2 turnovers by pacers @ end almost had to be fixed - league wants Celts I'm finals , no one will watch pacers in finals
Talking about gaffs...you got the Tatum and Brown stats mixed up....
Tatum did lead with 30+ and 12 rebounds
I'm learning today that the Celts can't lose by blowout, can't lose close, can't lose to bad teams but also can't lose to good teams. All the world's against you Boston, just have to win until there’s no more games left to win and they'll still be complaining
Facts, they was literally just saying they haven’t been tested. They get tested and win and they still not happy 😆
Nobody cares win a championship
Because weve seen this before. Im a celts fan. I need them to win
Lol Boston in another conference finals with the same core quit crying tell those boys to actually do something and not be in OT with a team that isn’t in there class
they also can't win apparently cuz even whey they do they get hate for it lmfao
Tatum is the only superstar to have his 36 points scrutinised like that. Meanwhile Luka has had several bad games this post season and it’s seen as a fluke or he’s injured. Ok man
Your acting like Tatum has been incredible this post season if Luka put up 21 PPG they would be in cancun rn
@@rxndmn tatum averaging 24.3ppg luka averaging 27.2 now go check how many shots per game they each take. There’s ur answer. One rule for one guy one rule for another.
@@rxndmn Tatum’s averaging 26 points this post season
@@user-tq2dn8fg7g Tatum has the most stacked team in the league it is what it is
@@IknowMoreThanYoulook at y’all crying
WHY DOES JT GET CRITICISM LUKA DOES NOT, WHAT HAS LUKA DONE THAT JT HASN'T?
luka has done nothing in this league yet. Tatum has way way way more accomplishments than luka.
He tends to go down swinging. Tatum doesn’t. Having said that, you have a good point
💯💯💯EXACTLY! Luka gets a pass and is a ball hog and trash defender yet consistently gets rated over Tatum who has accomplished more and is a better shooter and defender. Makes no sense smh
Shown heart and carried his team consistently? Tatum is carried by his roster
Tatum has the best supporting cast in basketball and Luka.....does not.
Celtics are the only team that loses when they win, these talking heads are so pathetic
But how does all this affect Lebron and the Lakers?
enhances his legacy
If Boston gets it 18th title it puts them ahead of the lakers and more pressure on Bron to win a chip in LA next year (I’m kidding btw 😭 Brons legacy is cemented)
Media says Celtics so bad so bad...but then picks them to win
And this game was exactly why, Celtics play terribly but played a team that was even worse
@@Mjot101 right with only two loses in the playoffs. Those two losses the teams had to shoot lights out. Not to mention largest point margins in w’s. People cried and said we hadn’t been tested were just blowing out teams. Now we win close game the last two games. It’s the teams gave us the win. Wow a lot of teams just want to loose then. Moving the goalpost much.
They literally explain that in the video buddy
Because just like the 49ers, they play the best all year and then chole in the biggest games year after year
@@ronalddelorme4947 brah your celtics are gonna get absolutely wrecked in the finals. Mavs or wolves winning the chip. Repeat of 2022
Brou has been putting up 10-8 days this whole week, nick and wildes need to step up
A table full of Celtics haters lmao
They got Tatum and Brown’s stats mixed up
Good, let them learn a little lesson about TEAM first mentality. A little Self-denial is needed to humble the spirit and self sacrifice never hurt anyone except.. 😮
No they didn’t
@@PacKMAnpimp Tatum had 36…
@@PacKMAnpimp in FACT, they do!
@@PacKMAnpimp yes they did 😂😂
I’m a jt critic like the rest but it is beyond asinine to suggest he can’t be the best player on a championship team when he’s been to the finals as such already
And hes quite literally that right now. Dont let 9 minutes of a 53 minute game distract you from the fact that he was the it factor in the beginning and the very end respectfully
And lost
@@javonelove-goodman3052 MJ is the only legend with a clean record in the past 30 years in Finals. So what?
We dont have KP and being held to that same standard as if we did is funny.
Tbf y'all knew kp was brittle AF B4 trading for him
still got tatum, brown, jrue, and dwhite tho no? Horford still giving quality mins too. Y'all really need a super duper team to beat the trash pacers?
@mambaASI Horford's quality minutes are nothing compared to having an actual center. Horford isn't even 7 feet. He's also much older. It's not about a super team, but having a center who can shoot and rim protect. Simple. And no it's not about the Pacers, I'm talking about the judgement of the team as if they're WHOLE.
@@JasenMinus horford is an average level center. Shot 42% from 3pt range this season. And he's a high IQ player. I get you want your unicorn all-star caliber center back, but don't discredit horford like that. And at the end of the day, you still have 4 other high level players that should easily beat this fraudulent pacers team that doesn't belong in the ecf, just ended up here through injury luck. So don't expect any slack on criticism just cuz one of your infinity stones is missing while you beating on black widow out here lmao
@@mambaASI he's 38... What are you talking about...
Haliburton played the worst 7 minutes of basketball I've ever seen and nobody is killing him for it.
These sport pundit takes on the Celtics are getting so ridiculous. They win by too much? Path is too easy and they haven't been tested. Win by too little? Disgraceful frauds. Lose once in a series? Team should be relegated to overrated. If Larry Bird 'Steals It' game happens today, Broussard would be crushing Bird for almost losing.
In the end, what matters is to win. A Win is a Win"
This show has surpassed first take and undisputed
😂 these guys are the best
Astocks greatest stat ever 😂 thanks brou!
Sbob is great
Versace robe
Wildes: i agree with both of you
lol
Celtics will lose to whoever wins the West
Cope Harder.
I agree
Heat fans are still so salty. 😂😂😂
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fb Not even hating, the Wolves and Mavs are just better
@rayallensclutch3thatsavedl522 I didn’t say you were hating. I said you were coping, which you are.
Brown has killer instinct
Yea he is scary. And a great defender too
Would rather have him then Tatum every day
@@taylor860ganghappily, I don’t need to choose which elite wing to have on my team.
The best show!
Glaaaaazzzziiiinnnnngggg
Yall better get that gentleman sweep segment ready.
Wiles stays ready for gentleman sweep 😂
“She cute, seriously”
Pacers learned their lesson. Brou is right -- they will take this as a positive since they are a resilient team. They will win the series.
“You act like I’m TRIPPING”😂😂😂😂
The more we talk about the Celtics being bums the more I feel like we are inviting some sort of karmic retribution where they steamroll whoever they run into in the finals.
They’ll never give Tatum the respect he deserves lol
Brou the type of guy to stop at stoplights in GTA
36-12-4 with a +20, AND YOU'RE DISRESPECTING TATUM'S CLUTCHNESS?
How clutch? The pacers choked.
Only thing Tatum clutching is his binky when he was nightmares about the warriors and how bad he choked
We watched the game.. tatum loses if haliburton had any handle 😭😭
@@cattlemantiswarriors cant even make the playoffs lil bro lebron owns curry without the avengers
@@iremainunimpressed1589 But they didn’t lose the game. A win is a win is a win.
You don’t get extra points for style in the playoffs.
This loss was very similar to the first couple of losses that Lakers had against the Nuggets. Nick Wrights takes were absolutely different for the lakers than for Indiana. Over the top analysis makes me want to mute, until Bru and Wildes talk.
So much for that Jets defense at the end was gold 😂
Can someone please tell me what the celtics did to sports media? The hate at this point is absolutely crazy
Zero acknowledgement of Tatum's dominant first three quarters and 10 points in OT including the dagger three. Not to mention 12 boards and savage defense the entire game, including smothering Hali on the final shot of the game. Dude had 36, 12 with 4 assists and three steals, with a plus/minus +20. Celtics were -15 in the few minutes he was off the court. But let's only focus on the two shots he missed. These tabloid level takes tell me that these guys don't really know ball. Ant Man goes 6/24 in game 7 and he's the second coming of Jordan.
So true
I see why Doncic wanted Carlisle out as Dallas head coach plays like this Indiana might of blown this series honestly.
He did win a chip tbf , but yea his decisions were beyond awful
@@notoriousLSGshow the league was different back then tbh. This era of 3pt shooting has changed how coaches need to approach end of game situations. Carlisle has not adjusted at all and its costing this pacers team
That had to be top three best moments of Bru being in que hahahaha
They have the stat line wrong at @ 5:15 mark. Tatum had 36 not Brown.
Also media talking about Cs having rest. The team that is coming off of no rest sometimes plays much better than the team that had time off
This is big facts
What a shocker that the team coming off of winning a series with the best shooting night in NBA postseason history was ready to play. Also not shocking that they may have been feeling their tiredness at the end of the game, contributing to sloppy play and bad decisions.
Broussard has a big point. If Celtics don't make the NBA Finals I won't be surprised if Musula gets fired. Get to the NBA Finals 🏀💯
They need to change the roster. They rely on pure firepower to cover up their flaws.
bro this how the streets are spelling Mazzulla? You spelling it like he's a french muslim (musulman)
Also Broussard lmao
I hope he gets fired if we (Celtics) don't win the title. He's not a good coach. He has all the talent in the world
We will win.
Awesome show!
Are they ever gonna fix the audio on digital uploads?
Wildes saying he can't believe Bru brought SBOB into the NBA and the face he made has me dying lmaoooo.
"Don't you DARE touch my Versace robe!" 🤣🤣
😂😂
Jaylen a 22% shooter from that spot.
Any way we can see the clips on UA-cam or is that impossible?
Wildes the show
I don’t particularly care who wins ECF but the Pacers losing like that hurt to watch.
Coaching decisions
i see why Doncic wanted him out of Dallas i see now lol
I did not even watch the OT because I knew it was over for the Pacers.
We live in north korea
Their best player also had horrible turnovers late
"She's cute." hilarious Brou. Absolutely perfect. 🤣
When I hear/see Nick Wright on TV I think to myself that anything is possible in life. Someone hired this dude to sit and talk about sports. Its fascinating, and I feel genuinely encouraged to continue to pursue my impossible dreams.
Tatum had 36 Brown had 26…
They hating so much that they don’t even want to credit him his actual stats lmaoo
First

These 3 are amazing
“She’s cute, you’ll like her” 😂
Timberwolves are taking it all!!
Wolves should beat the Mavs before they worry about losing in the Final to Boston.
Facts
@@RittenhousesRifle East got no chance of winning
@@MrBrokoli99That’s is just flat out being a hater
Celtics have 4 # 2 options. No ones that guy
Pacers are the 3rd youngest team with the best offense, assists, and interior scoring. They play BEAUTIFUL basketball.
I love how the tweets are like a preview of the show ❤😂
So Boston gets dinged for having an easy path, but then they still get criticized when they overcome adversity? The Tatum/Brown Celtics have lost this type of game countless times, they should get some credit for actually pulling out a win.
The only reason there was any adversity is because they played poorly enough to let the Pacers stay in the game. You don't get credit for punching yourself in the face in a series that you should easily sweep.
Literally kudos because they have some bad habits
I'm only counting wins and losses
@@connor_phillipz5689 I mean, other than overcoming injuries, isn’t every great example of this when a team plays poorly but then finds a way to come back? As in what the Wolves just did?
They almost blew Game 1 _at home_ to heavy underdogs . . . and you wanna praise em? This is why Celtics won't have a chance of winning a championship after this year
As a Pacers fan I feel more demoralized after last night. We choked and blew it.
As a pacers ml better I feel same way as you lol
Brou killed me with the “she’s cute”. 😂😂😂😂😂
The "she's cute" killed me.
The Celtics won! My goodness…they’ll sweep the Pacers and win the chip in 5 or 6
Also Nick just doesn't get basketball in my eyes... Basketball is a TEAM sport.. Not everybody is LeBron, Steph where one person can carry a team home.. The Celtics overall are a GREAT team because they play teamball
Theyre great because they have the best starters in the nba and the best shooting. Theyre great in spite of their lack of toughness, bad coaching, and Tatum's softness.
That’s applicable in every league outside the nba. In the nba if u dont have someone who can carry a team, u usually dont win a championship. Almost every champion has had a star carry them. Not every team can be the 04 pistons or the spurs.
He gets it. But he has to make a tv show too
Tatum feels like a modern day Carmelo
“LBOB never caught on” Man I love brou😂😂
This coming from a 40 year Celtics fan. I have no confidence in them winning the title. Not showing any guts
Cool, stay on that side then.
Saying Luka is better than Tatum when Tatum has been the best player on a finals team is crazy they want a white player to be the best so badly
Most people just look at scoring averages and don't evaluate anything else. Luka is a terrible defensive player and Tatum is a very good, very versatile defender. It's silly to even compare them. Tatum is a significantly better overall player.
You don’t know ball, Luka has been better than Tatum since his rookie year.
@@nelsoncollins2393 Except he hasn't, which means you don't know ball. Stop talking.
Race card in 2024- 🥱
@@notoriousLSGshow Seriously bro.
R.O.B. _ Ring or Bust
“Run into a top 5 guy” as if Tatum hasn’t dismantled Giannis and Embiid numerous times.
Tatum could have a 60 point triple double and the Celtics could win by 40 and they'd still hate on Tatum.
She's cute killed me 😂😂😂
The only stat ant has on tatum these playoffs is pts, and tatum is about to take that tonight.
Ant scores 17 he’s the face of the league. Jason scores 36 he ain’t that guy
2:54 not mr big market hating on nuggets vs lakers???
Celtics in 5. Mavs in 7. Then, Mavs in 6.
I've watched this show since the beginning and if you had told me this would be my favorite lineup from over the year I would have thought everyone nuts. But these 3 work off each other so well and have a genuine good time around each other.
This show has the best chemistry i ever seen on a sports show
Also according to Chris two of the Pacers 3 best players Siakam (30) and Myles Turner (28) are older than both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
hating on Tatum. He. didn't have a good shooting game however, Ant went 5-24 in game 7 against Denver and he is the. darling. Tatum made all NBA. team this year so he is. top 5 in the league.
Anybody else notice how they switched Brown and Tatum’s stats on the question bar?
The Tatum bar is crazy
“He hovered” Wildes is unintentionally a genius
The stats were wrong, Tatum had 36 pts
Tatum scored 36 and Brown scored 26.
Why is the editor not including game footage anymore?
You can make the argument that the time off should’ve been more of a detriment than a positive for the Celtics
That doesn't fit the narrative of hating on the Celtics..😂
