Derrick White reminds me of the Airbenders in Legend of Korra. The ones that decided to go bald got an immediate buff to their agility and spatial awareness.
Bill Walton was an all-time legend. I remember growing up yelling out "THROW IT DOWN BIG MAN" great memories, you sir will be dearly missed 🙏🏽. This is the Celtics year. All the failures and letdowns come to an end, and they finally make it over the hump.
only impressive thing to me is they did this without kristaps for the most part. Al is still a very goog center. Still pretty easy but injury luck always effects playoff runs so 🤷♂️
LeBron literally had an easy run in the east for 8 to 9 years and Denver beat three play in teams last year… but you want to complain about about the Celtics🤣🤣🤣🤣 laughable
Everyone saying Celtics had a cakewalk but no one is talking about how they only lost 2 playoff games with Porzingis injured for basically the entire playoffs
I think people really need to understand that it doesn't matter how you get to the finals or win It. A championship is championship, no matter what teams you have to beat to get there.
I think sometimes teams can appear to be better when a star is out because they have learned how to play without that star (in practice, and inevitably in some games) but most teams don't know how to match up against a changed roster and a different gameplan. So many times, a game without a star can actually be a trap game for the opponent. Rudy missing game 2 against the nuggets, for example. But the novelty tends to get exhausted quickly and the healthier team adjusts at some point. It's also just simpler to play missing a player. Less to plan, less to keep track of. Less conditions. The other players have no choice but to step up. Less complicated strategies are often more effective in a lot of cases, and then fail at the higher levels. They're simple, tried and true, and consistent. I'm a bit worried (as a Celtics fan) that my Celtics might be the perfect embodiment of the simple strat. Their defense is elite, but that offense basically just functions on 'im better than you...' which might work even through the finals...but it doesn't work when the 'you' is an effective scheme, and not another player. *cough Baltimore Ravens. *cough every James Harden team ever. *cough Embiid.
Idk about that. As a C's fan, I'm not terribly worried about Dallas. The Timbs, Clippers, Thunder, and Nuggets were all more concerning than Dallas. Now they're all gone. Not saying Luka won't pull a game or two out of his ass but... I'm feeling good about this matchup.
Congratulations to the Celtics for being the most healthy team in the East left standing. Like seriously, everyone talked trash about the Pacers fortunate path to the ECF, but the Celtics played 3 teams that were all missing their main stars. This was probably the easiest road to the finals ever 😂
Boston (and Tatum especially) has no more excuses. You're the better team. You just bullied your conference into submission (and yes, Boston would have beat Philly, NY, and Milwaukee, they've been the best team in the East all year). Pingis is back. If you don't win it all, serious questions must be asked of this roster.
@@chauvintookaknee4blm268 U mad cuz I’m expressing myself? Sounds like you’re compensating for inner problems. I’ll pray for you. Still won’t save your Celtics 😊.
Will we be able to watch the finals on hbo??? I've been able to watch the western conference on HBO. I just can't find an honest answer so I thought I'd ask here lol.
The difference in quality of play in the ECF vs WCF was real apparent IMO. I don't think Boston can win in a series where every possession matters and the pressure's dialed to 11 but we'll see.
@@ramborigs Can't even engage with these folks. Teams after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seeds aren't professional basketball teams to them. Just gotta lock in on the games and block out the noise.
Luka and Kyrie > Jayson and Jaylen. Kyrie coming in and getting a ring against the city that spurned him all those years ago would be nothing short of poetic justice.
Spurned him? Review your history dude. Kyrie promised to resign, balked in the playoffs, then ran away to the Nets leaving Boston high and dry. Mavs getting swept would be poetic justice. Not to mention him flipping off and swearing at fans while stomping on the logo.
Guess I was wrong the Celtics can put the foot on the tiger and keep it there signs of Welcome progress because we would have lost this series last year
Celtics didn't look good on defense last night IMO. They better find a way to improve on that in the finals. I don't see them beating either the Wolves or the Mavs.
i’m from boston. to sum this series up, me and my friends were all more concerned about the joints we were were rolling than the game. in fact, we were talking about how sick it would be for Kyrie and Luka to win a chip but how we really can’t let that happen because we love our celtics. It’s just been so odd.
@@jameswinslow8540 see. This is why everyone hates Celtics fans. Shut up with that gatekeeping BS, people are allowed to have different opinions than you. End of story
The pacers coaching seemed pretty bad in the series too they had opportunities to to win games and just made the wrong plays also they seemed very disorganized with crazy turnovers
Dallas will win it all >>>> Their defense is great, all team always focus and full of energy, they defend as unit ,their main stars defend and play for the team, no egos, no selfishness. In my opinion Luka + Kyrie > Brown+ Tatum so another plus to Dallas. I know Boston is stacked and also can play really nice defense ( Holiday and White are elite) but I feel Dallas is 10 right now and Boston 9 .....that difference is that duo Luka- Kyrie ( moves, clutchness,handles, defense, effort, assist, basketball IQ, desire to win it all)
Rest in peace, Bill Walton. 😢

I'm ready to donate my kidneys to make this happen
Would be so satisfying
0:29 that guy with the Irving jersey lol
I mean it was an easy conference but I think celtic fans can be proud that they didnt choke this time
They still got the Finals
They have the finals to choke away
It's easy not to choke when all of the teams you've faced were missing their main stars. Jimmy Butler in particular did them last year.
They still can choke.

Not their fault that the other teams were hurt. Pacers shouldn't be in that position as well
If it was so easy for him, y can't anyone else do it then?
Everyone saying Celtics had a cakewalk but no one is talking about how they only lost 2 playoff games with Porzingis injured for basically the entire playoffs
As a super biased Celtics fan, I agree with your take on this team and this playoffs. Great video as usual
RIP Bill Walton
I still don't understand why I coming back to your videos. But here I am, whatching another video.
Thank you for a good content!
Pacers loved blowing easy games this series. Pacers should have won game 1, game 3, and game 4
This pacers team was pathetic to watch. Makes it even worse that the knicks lost to this team
Yes and no. This is classic "young team" behavior. It takes a while to learn how to close games in the playoffs. See also OKC and, hell, the Timbs.
Glad to hear Commissioner Dynamo survive last video. decompression chamber helps.
Kyrie gone skin them up
😂
Kyrie is unpersoned lol dont count on it
I want that too, but the problem will be Jrue Holiday. Jrue's defense is beyond elite.
@@erwindavid2859 Man I forgot about him he'll be a problem
Thankfully they have luka and hopefully someone else can step up
Y'all forget about Jrue? Not saying he'll be terrible but Jrue is going to be a Proooblem
I think people really need to understand that it doesn't matter how you get to the finals or win It. A championship is championship, no matter what teams you have to beat to get there.
Right now team has ever told the other team to get injured so you can't blame abother team if that team gets injured that's just dumb
Are you a curry or Boston fan
@@chauvintookaknee4blm268 Spurs fan
I remember when Lebron was out east, the pacers were the only decent teams for a couple years then you had Chicago with Rose constantly hurt.
In other words, easy finals path for Lefraud
eh its the east fault that nobody went all in and traded like a shit load of picks to create a superteam
