That's our reward for winning 64 regular season games!!
Exactly! It's funny how people forget how the Celtics had to work hard to earn this "easy" path. 15 other teams in the eastern conference failed to do that.
Perfect way to look at it! We earned this!
That’s what you get for playing in the East 😭
@@DJCinthaBoy 🤷🏾♂️☘️
Facts!! People forget if you handle business in the regular season you can rest your players before the playoffs. Yea KP is hurt but getting that 1 seed we was able to get the 8 seed yea they was hurt but that’s what happens when your star try’s to take it easy in the regular season and trying to turn it on one the playoffs. You are more likely to get hurt that way and that’s why Jimmy is always so burn out when they had those runs cause he don’t play hard during the regular season
The Warriors had it easy two years ago. The Celtics had to play teams with Giannis, Kyrie, Durant and Butler. Horford was the healthiest Celtic when they played them in the finals.
Warriors hater’s
To everyone complaining that the Celtics have it easy… that’s how seeding works, if you’re the 1st seed you get easier matchups, it’s a reward for dominating the regular season.
Not true. The bucks were rewarded with a first round exit last year. Seeding dont mean shit sometimes. It is about how healthy your team is
@@mrbear957 1st seed goes against 8th seed which is objectively worse team record wise. No body expected the heat to upset the bucks that year
@@mrbear957yes and they benefited in their own title run year as well, same for the Nuggets last year playing a play in team in the finals.
also because the east sucks rn
@@mrbear957yeah because giannis was injured and they didn’t have any real good backup players
Denver had an easy playoff run last year based on seeding. Played 8 Seed Wolves, 4 Seed Suns, 7 Seed Lakers, and then 8 Seed Heat.
Easy? LOL western teams can beat the number 1 seeded teams your conference is weaker you all got beat by the Heat that tells me a lot about your conference
That’s subjective, I was just talking about seeding. Western Conference weren’t consider alot better last year when The Bucks and Philly were considered just as good as any Western Conference team last year.
Bro how stupid are people?😭 seed doesn’t fckn matter if a number 8 seed beats a number 2 seed 4/7 games means that the 8th seed was the better team all along. Not to mention not a single team even came close to beating the nuggets no true competition so they would’ve easily beaten any other team that played them.
This is reason why you need to get 1st seed.
People assume butler is going to defeat this year boston ? Come on man…
Cavs vs celtics? Celtics don’t have the unicorn the entire series, most game were blown out. And in fact the cavs were much better mitchell isn’t playing.
Caris levert ain’t changing a thing even if hes healthy for last game
Warriors won their first championship playing against back up point guards each round, 1st to Finals
LeBron was battling against Avery Bradley and Kelly Olynyk in the 2017 ECF lmao I'm not trying to hear it
It's a reward if your the number one seed also it's not their fault if their opponent have injured players
Go Celtics! 17 time NBA Champions! Soon to be 18!
Nuggets fan here I’m hoping Jason Tatum can finally get a chip.
Nah that would be the 2022 Warriors. They beat the Nuggets without Murray and Porter Jr, they made sure to take Morant out halfway through the series against Memphis and then they faced a Mavericks team with a 22 year old Luka.
people when they realize injuries happen and there's nothing you can do abt it as well as being the 1 seed gives an easier path to the finals: 🤯
Great video. Im glad the Js have been to numerous ECF, and even 1 finals. They’ve been battle tested; what they need now is health. Celtics 18!
Even better for the championship wel have way more energy than whoever comes out of the West
lebron cake walked to the finals 10 years in a row i don’t want to hear SHIT
It’s been a historically weak conference since the early 2000s
As a Sixer fan, I would imagine if the Celtics somehow don’t even make the finals.
Naz Reid and Jaden Mcdaniels were hurt in the Nuggets series as well.
This is always a thing. Like did lebron not just coast when he caught the Celtics in the Ecf sans kyrie? We want to pretend the Celtics were something they weren’t now. And Tatum and brown did step up. But losing Kyrie just before playoffs is exactly or worse than losing butler or Mitchell.
Nuggets faced 3 play-in teams in their road to a championship...
Mavs vs pacers finals
I think it’s gonna be Mavs vs Celtics
If I stand correct, if a team is the first seed, they’re suppose to have the easiest route to the finals 💀
The 2017 warriors had an easier run everyone was hurt not even close
That is true, the Kawhi injury in game 1 made that a fairly uncompetitive series. That warriors team was just so dominant tho
And everyone has been injured in this Celtics playoff run too!
@@thesports-ballnetworkto include Celtics players. Why is everyone acting as though Boston isn’t dealing with injuries as well?
@GardeniaBlossoms_ Because now that they're almost positive we will win this time, they're shifting the goal posts.
Sports fans and sports media hates Boston.
@@joshuabryant9845 that hate has been palpable this season lol
they got the first seed for a reason, teams that perform well in the regular season should play easier opponents to start the playoffs.
Just because you’re the one seed doesn’t mean the excuses of other teams injuries just gets swept under the rug
So nobody was looking at the 1980s Lakers run? They had it easy compared to the east with Celtics, Pistons, Bucks and Sixers killing each other
1982
1st round - bye
2nd round - Suns (46-36)
3rd round - Spurs (48-34)
1984
1st round - bye
2nd round - Mavs (43-39)
3rd round - Suns (41-41)
1985
1st round - Suns (36-46)
2nd round - Blazers (42-40)
3rd round - Nuggets (52-30)
1987
1st round - Nuggets (37-45)
2nd round - Warriors (42-40)
3rd round - Sonics (39-43)
1988
1st round - Spurs (31-51)
2nd round - Jazz (47-35)
3rd round - Mavs (53-29)
I mentioned the 1987 run at the end of the video
The 2015 warriors too.
We must have a easiest way to go to the nba finals and the easiest way to win the championship
You say easy huh not for long. Brunson has been unstoppable this post season and the pacers have learned how to play defense especially at home. Celtics fans don’t expect the conference finals to be easy
Dam Brunson broke his hand 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I'm not so sure. The Pacers are healthy and don't really give a shit what happens next, seeing as they've gone much deeper than anyone expected. That can be a dangerous combination.
So tired of everyone saying its an easy run we dont control who we play and they are still a Legitimate NBA team so i expect a hard grind out series not a blow out like all these idiotic pundits say we should do.
3rd round in a row and more pure disrespect for the Pacers. Ok. We'll see
That just means no excuses, what u said is obviously true and they should deliver and if they can’t get banner 18 it’s a failure tbh, especially with no nuggets anymore
You can only beat what’s infront of you
Every year LBJ got to Finals. Every superstar were in the west.
...yep'
...so its just like saying Magic Johnson's Lakers also have easiest WEST then because he made it 9x times to the Finals🏆 easily,
...while in the EAST there was Larry Bird's Boston -vs- Isaiah Thomas Pistons -vs- Michael Jordan's Bulls, they need to beat each other so hard...!
Easiest path ?.. Warriors?.. Miami Heat with LBJ?…😂
I mentioned the 2013 Heatles in the video, but I think that Pacers team in the ECF was better than any of the teams on this run. The warriors I can agree the 2017 run when they played the Spurs without Kawhi in the WCF is pretty comparable
@@thesports-ballnetwork lead by 17 ppg Paul George n sorry hibbert?🤣
Dude IS DOES MATTER HOW MANY WIN THEIR OPPONENT GOT ...BECAUSE BOSTON AND DENVER GOT THE 1ST SEED OF COURSE THEY WILL FACE THE LOWER SEED YOU CAN CALL IT EASY...BUT THERE EARN IT BY BEING A 1 SEED IN THERE CONFERENCE
they need to start mixing conferences in playoffs. they should have decades ago.
They used to.
@@joshuabryant9845 it's time to do it again
I'm a Celtics fan and I have a problem with the fanbase I made a joke that it would be funny if this Indian series went to seven after being up 3-0 and everyone got mad at me so because of that when they get to final I'm rooting against them
*I'm not I love this team*
Maybe it looks easy because Celtics look great
We earned it 🙂
what about the 2017 cavs lol, legit no team in the east was on their level
Good comparison too, those teams they faced were all a bit out of their prime
GO CELTICS!!!! HERE COMES # 18.
Don't hate on Tom Chambers!!
And they’re still not going to win shit😂
the entire east conference is cake walk, the top 5 seeds not including the Celtics would be in the play or not in the play offs in the west lol, east is jus an embarrassing as a whole
The Timberwolves are in big problem because every team that has eliminated the defending champions has went on to lose. I hope that the Timberwolves will not be that team. I want the Timberwolves to win the NBA Title this year. Especially, when they are healthy.
Not their fault. Those stars are injured.. smh
The great LeBron and his glorious “ 7 year NBA FINAL STREAK “ ….played 1…..YES..I REPEAT..1 ALL NBA FIRST TEAMER in the eastern conference, on the way to the finals…7 times in a row, in that whole entire run, And that player was …Derrick Rose in 2011. 7 years straight to the finals and faced 1 NBA first teamer in that stretch . Plus his 2,3 or 4 other hall of famers that he needed as well, to win that weak conference, year after year. Sorry budddddy, No comparison.
Lebron definitely had some easy runs to the Finals, it’s really just a consequence of a historically weak Eastern Conference
@@thesports-ballnetwork can’t disagree with you there champ.
Excuses 🥱🥱
Celtics will have a run for their money against pacers
The Suns run a few years ago was easier, every team they faved had an injured Superstar
Similar scenario to this year 😅
as a Celtics fan,saying the Celtics don’t have bench depth is absurd that’s like me saying the reason the knicks lost the ecsf is because the didn’t have a bench which they do but due to injuries that don’t have their full roster still the reason why they lost
Is anyone besides KP hurt? I mean their bench is fine, I like Pritchard and Sam Hauser is just a shooter. Horford is obviously starting for now, and he’s holding up surprisingly well for his age. But there’s not really anyone else I trust on the team besides the 5 starters and those 3 guys. Let me know if I’m wrong tho, it’s hard to know about every bench player in the league. I bet most non Knicks fan don’t know how valuable Deuce is, cuz the season stats don’t necessarily show it
yes it had been easy but still doesn't stop these fools from keep asking for they want boston.
yeah we have the easiest run because the east is shit
knicks gone beat celtics
🎉
I Dont want this video to be construed as me hating the Celtics. I am a knicks fan, but I’m not just hating to hate. I understand they won 64 games this season and earned the 1 seed. I say in the video many times that this team is stacked, my point is just that this is a weak conference riddled with injuries, even for an Eastern Conference that has been historically weak. At the end of the day, you can only play who is in front of you
Okay so by your logic, if your Knicks went against the teams the Celtics played, you’d be complaining? I’m sure you’d be at the top of the Empire State building screaming “Knicks in 5”. The Celtics have NO control over who they play. It’s the playoffs, players get hurt. It’s not our fault other teams we are playing against has injured players. We’re also missing our X factor KP so idk why people act like we’re not dealing with injuries too🤷🏻♂️
@@dumbdaryl when have I EVER said it was the Celtics fault? I’m just saying it’s been an easy run thus far as the East is weak and with a ton of injuries. Just a fact
@@thesports-ballnetwork Don’t act like you didn’t make this whole video discrediting their playoff run🤡
@@dumbdaryl not discrediting, just pointing out it was an easy playoff run they’ve had. Do you not agree with that? I said many times throughout the video, they are a super talented team that could easily win the finals
It really doesn't matter who we play.
the bubble will be recorded as the easiest, and still only worth half a championship.
Dude, stop crying. The fact you have to make this video shows how rent free the Celtics are living in your head. That's how seeding works. If a team finishes with the no1 seed, they get to play easier teams. The Celtics are terrible in the playoffs, and they deserve way more respect than any other team whenever they win a series. LeBron had it 10x easier in the playoff because of his seeding, so I expect you to make a video on LeBron cakewalking to the finals. But you wont, because it's all about "fulfull lebrons legacy!!!1!". Come on, man. Stop being biased
Im not making a video about Lebron cake-walking to the Finals because that was a decade ago. I mentioned several times they deserve to advance to the Finals cuz they are by far the best team in a weak conference. You can only play who is in front of you, and they’ve had weak teams in front of them. Let’s see if they can lock in and win their Finals matchup against a battle tester Western Conference opponent
@@thesports-ballnetwork It'll be interesting, but I think the celtics are overlooked by the west
@@somewhatshort I don’t think they are overlooked, I think teams in the west are scared to play the Celtics, especially if they can get out of their series quickly and get some more rest
