Healthy heat wouldve lost, healthy Cavs would’ve lost, healthy Knicks would’ve lost, healthy Sixers would’ve lost. This is the best team the past 4 years. The best three point shooting AND defensive team in a long time.
They did what they had to do. Ya teams were injured, but so were the Celtics with KP. They lost a total of three games the whole run. You lose 4 games in a series. You lose the series. they didn't even lose four games the whole playoffs. Two things can be right at the same time. Your path might not be the hardest, and you can still be the best team. You can only play what's put in front of you
I once watched a very salty Shaq tell Chauncey Billups the only reason the 04 Pistons beat the Lakers was due to all the infighting going on in the LA dressing room. " That's not our problem," Chauncey replied. He was right. If the Lakers couldn't get their shit together, that was on them, not the Pistons. So to all the people complaining the Celtics had an easy run....they could only play who was in front of them. And if other teams couldn't stay fit, or weren't good enough, well then its their problem to solve.
I don't even think that's the case I think most NBA fans are dumb and just assumed that western conference was way better than the east when in reality it's not.
Couldn't have said it better myself. The fact that "analysts" have to denigrate what Boston's historically dominant season achieved by citing how weak their conference is is bizarre. All winning requires some luck but chance only favors the prepared mind.
Not only that, but the "easy run" narrative is BS because we're talking about the #1 seed with the best record in the NBA. The #1 seed is supposed to have the easiest path, otherwise why the hell else would you want the best record?
It's funny because the actual problem was that Shaq was fat and out of shape. Now that might have pissed Kobe off - ok it totally pissed Kobe off - but was essentially Shaq's failure to be a professional. Maybe if he had the Ozempic then he is taking now....
Tatum and Brown really matured as players this year. Both are so unselfish and only focused on the team. Not that they were ever selfish, but they both sacrificed to fit KP and Jrue and make it all work. They’re just hitting their primes and still getting better. Look out
If healthy, they could win several championships during TBE rest of their careers, 2 or 3 over the next 7 or 8 years is a real possibility if they keep getting better.
Me, I think it was the subtraction of Smart and addition of Jrue. Jrue set the tone for the whole team and it cut down on flopping, getting into it with refs, and hero ball.
@@David-iv6je Agree. Jrue also plays smarter, more efficient baskeball. Smart might have been a hustler but he was too chaotic and lacked play-making skills, imo
Following the finals as a European fan has been rough, but seeing the team I have been following for over a decade finally win a title was such a sweet feeling. I don't get why the analysts were against them in the Finals. They were an historical team. Statistically dominant. It was coming
@@AlexHoops A few reasons actually. My brother was a Celtics fan before me. I remember him having a Pierce wallpaper on his laptop and a Garnett jersey that I still have Secondly, I'm from the celtic region of France. So seeing a team called the Celtics, as a child, helped me lean towards them. Finally, when I first watched them in 2012, I remember being in awe of the way Garnett played, especially in the East Finals against Miami. And so I began to follow them from then onwards
Because the Cs ☘️ is a brilliantly boring team. Well, looks like the haters will be bored for a few more years because the Cs is a dynasty in the making.
The media doubted the Celtics all postseason, even through a 16-3 performance overall. Imagine losing 3 times and every time, the media is ready to write you off if they don't write you off before the series starts.
And always referring to stuff that happened from a year or two or three prior as examples of why the team will fail even though this team was very different then those teams
@@charlie_541nah leading up to and in Paul P early days right up until 08 they where one of the worst team in the league, n they where also bad in the 70s for a bit
I love my C’s but I’ve criticized the hell out of Mazzulla and I’ve questioned Tatum and Brown’s ability to close… I’m here to _GLADLY_ say I was wrong!
@@user-ly1ml6ue9n That’s it. I was genuinely impressed/surprised to see the level of emotion and intensity that Tatum showed, and Brown proved that left hand of his has become a weapon instead of a liability. This was a great team.
There’s another thing people don’t take into account when talking about the injured teams they faced. Out of 101 games including the postseason they had a 20 point lead in 50 of those, meaning they got to rest their starters a lot more than other teams. None of the east teams really got to do that which is why they had so many injuries come playoff time. If you’re the better team you generally have less injuries it’s kinda simple
Good video. Important to note Jaylen and Jayson noticeably improved every year, which makes sense because they’re still young. Anybody that seriously advocated breaking them up doesn’t watch enough to Celtics to see the mountaintop was within reach so long as the two stars kept improving
It's funny how the Celtics had to prove that they are a different team in the past and people still doubted them, I like how they prevailed over every controversy against them. They won it the right way and drafting the right picks of players, didn't had to pick up a loaded team full of superstars like a Kevin Durant to win a championship.
Best post season review and analysis for Boston so far! Haters just gonna hate. Most of them so called analysts don't evwn play ball. There are other factors hugely affecting outcomes other than the usual stats. Good job, sir.
Facts bro this boston been special for about 5 6 years now Just think the first time boston made the ecf with brown and tatum lebron took them down in 7 other than that boston might already have at least one ring i think Jb and tatum are organically home grown superstars you cant hate on that in my mind 💯
@@donmon808Jrue is definitely a better defender a better shooter. Marcus was good but he insisted on taking clutch shots and bricking them. His offense drove me nuts
@@donmon808 Never really watched Smart play. His defense stats suggested he provided little resistance to opposing players scoring at the rim. Was his perimeter defense that good? Because it doesn't seem like he should have won that DPOY award when he did.
Thank you for delving into the "superteam" discourse. It has been driving be nuts that the way they have been building the team is being compared to teams like this years Suns and Clippers and past years Nets and Warriors. Those where *actual* superteams. This is just a well constructed, great team that took a while to get there. During which most people thought they where shit, I might add.
People try and say they had the easiest opponent in the finals but the truth is they were 23-7 against the West as a whole this season....They would have beaten anyone in a 7 game series just based on where their defense was at the end of the playoffs
I think losing Grant Williams in free agency also created an upgrade in the rotations. Hauser got a lot of minutes Williams used to get. Grant was shorter but had the strength to guard bigger players. Hauser held his own on defense, and was an actual threat on offense.
The media should admit the top of the Celtics organization knows what it's doing and give Brad Stevens credit. He brought in a coach that forced his 2 stars to change the way they play and he brought in players who are semi stars to cover the guards whom they always had problems guarding. So Jrue and White did the guarding of the key offensive players. If they had Jrue, the year Curry went off, they would have won that year too.
I love the way this team is constructed and feel bad that no one’s giving them enough respect bc they’re so used to such a dominant smash mouth type of team. Celtics feel like it’s a team effort instead of relying on a big 3
Theres just no point in trying to get people to respect this championship. The basketball has always and will always hate Boston and their basic offensive schemes and mostly straight-up defense isnt helping that either. Just let the haters hate.
With your logic no championship is legit. You could say that 2023 the Nuggets played nobody in the finals, 2022 the teams underperformed, 2021 Giannis hurt Kyrie on purpose etc...
Really so sick of people assuming the 8 seed Heat would’ve beat them with a healthy Jimmy Butler. Lol. Same goes with the Pacers with Halliburton. These people just hate Boston and refuse to give any credit
It's truly amazing how most experts got it all wrong. I heard one person say they weren't battle tested, another said Tatum couldn't get it done and another say that Celtics won't win without Porzings down playing Big Al. Lol. Question #1 last years final answered battle tested #2 if player score big numbers the team losses.MJ, learn to share the ball. Resulting in 6 championships. Tatum was the best decoy. Assist leader #3 Big Al was the reason why they got to the final both last & this year.. The NBA should start awarding Best Team & Organization Award Brad Stevenson.
Celtics didn't get to the finals last year. The battle tested stuff is BS, these dudes have so much playoff experience between them and it showed. Boston was just so good all year, i hope they run it back to back.
The celtics' defense and 5 2-way players were instrumental in clinching the NBA title. Their explosiveness and consistency were exceptional and game 4 was just a let off and a fluke for the Mavs.
Very thoughtful and thorough analysis. The 'alleged' pundits kept gaslighting themselves in believing that the Heat with a healthy Jimmy Butler would have beaten the Celtics, while conveniently forgetting that the Celtics were an unlucky twisted ankle away from beating them with a Healthy Jimmy Butler for the second consecutive year. Also, someone (Shannon Sharpe) said that "Availability is an ABILITY". The Celtics were just good, which drives these frauds insane. ☘☘☘☘☘☘ 💚💚💚💚💚💚 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 In a few days let's go for Banner #19.
I think anyone who doesn’t see this team as historically balanced and talented, just doesn’t know basketball. You don’t have to be a genius to see it. I kind of hate the Celtics as a franchise (mostly because of their fans), but they have more than earned their due respect.
I enjoyed them, I was rooting for Boston as my team wasn't in the play offs so that helped but end of the day I don't care if it's competitive, I just wanna see the best team win and if it ends up being dominant then so be it.
it hasn't been Tatums and Browns team as long as people think. The first trip was Isaih Thomas team. The next versions were Gordon Hayward and Kyries Irvings teams. it only recently became the J's team alone
Be kind to the celtics haters in your lives. Their narrative died this week. Tatum doesnt care about being HIM. he cares more about the celtics being THEM.
I'm convinced that these talking heads don't know basketball the way we thought they do. They are literally analysing their feelings about teams. On plain site. Celtics are 24-6 against western conference teams in regular season."best conference " If include the NBA finals, they are 28-7.
Bro great unbiased analysis. Watch the take of the clown from outkick , outtake or whatever the name of the channel is that Clay Travis and that other woodchuck run . It's absurd. The NBA has a woke issue and people don't want that crap . Hats off to you . I'm subscribed .
All credit to stevens. Knew the potential in acquiring jrue and white. For trusting mazula to implement a system centered around their wings both on offense and defense. And for having faith on brown and tatum despite nobody viewing them as superstars. Of course. Giving up on tatum and brown when they're still just entering their prime is just stupid.
The last team to beat a healthy celtics team in the playoffs was 2020 when they had Brad Wanamaker and enes kanter getting big minutes. When they’re healthy they’re a tough out for anyone
When the team has 4-5 players with a calibre to be the #2 guy in a Big 3 team (but without the #1 superstar), they can afford to miss one person in a game to be good
I called the JH trade. I said the Bucks would not be any better with DL and would probably be worse, while I thought that Boston improved tremendously. The fact that they got KP, it was obvious they were going to do what they did. I think their toughest matchup would have been the Nuggets, but maybe not. It just feels like the Nuggets were kinda coasting this season, which is really disappointing.
This lack of credit is great for C's fans. I am sure Kristaps wants to contribute more to a playoff run (not that he didn't contribute but I am sure he doesn't like the injury).
The media doesn't have to say sh*t ....the Boston Celtics speak for themselves !!! They are by far the best team in the NBA, and this Will be a rinse and repeat for NBA championships over the next three to four years !!!
Teams have to worry about defending all of the Top 8 with Boston. Even when Jrue was out there with the B team they still couldn't sag off Pritchard or Hauser. They are 40%+ shooters.
And now that they've done it, they'll know how to do it again. If they stay healthy and keep their identity, there's no reason they can't become a dynasty. Things really are looking up from here for them.
The "BIG Fan boy" media just can't get past the fact that the Celtics have ushered in a new way of winning. No longer is it about the "Superstar name" it's about "team" first. Sure they have plenty of talent but the egos are in check.
Has any of those in the media who gave all these suggestions built a company and basketball team before? And they should know what's right for the Celtics?

I called the JH trade. I said the Bucks would not be any better with DL and would probably be worse, while I thought that Boston improved tremendously. The fact that they got KP, it was obvious they were going to do what they did. I think their toughest matchup would have been the Nuggets, but maybe not. It just feels like the Nuggets were kinda coasting this season, which is really disappointing.
Their roster doesn't have MVP caliber player, no DPOY, just elite players playing unselfish basketball
This lack of credit is great for C's fans. I am sure Kristaps wants to contribute more to a playoff run (not that he didn't contribute but I am sure he doesn't like the injury).
The media doesn't have to say sh*t ....the Boston Celtics speak for themselves !!! They are by far the best team in the NBA, and this Will be a rinse and repeat for NBA championships over the next three to four years !!!
I called that the Celts would take it in 5 because the Mavs had zero chance expert for Boston wanting to win it all at home hense the 5 games!
Lots of Christians on this team. That’s why I like them.
They want to ramp up a division between the two players so that they can break up the team
Its like a good front office wins you championships
BRING OUT THE BROOMS!!! Like gentlemen the Celtics sweep their way to #18.
Part of being a good team is being HEALTHY. It’s not our fault so many “stars” are as fragile as a toothpick
Teams have to worry about defending all of the Top 8 with Boston. Even when Jrue was out there with the B team they still couldn't sag off Pritchard or Hauser. They are 40%+ shooters.
Last 6 champions different teams, NBA parity is now
Dude, you are WAAYYY underplaying the role of Jrue Holiday here.
No Jrue; no Celtics championship in ‘24
Obviously playing with this Celtics squad was going to help Jrue's efficiency
If the 2 Js play one for all and all for the city. No other teams can stop them.
Sensational
Yeah I’m sure if I sent my super team each year slightly improved in the finals we’d win a ring too 😊
And now that they've done it, they'll know how to do it again. If they stay healthy and keep their identity, there's no reason they can't become a dynasty. Things really are looking up from here for them.
The "BIG Fan boy" media just can't get past the fact that the Celtics have ushered in a new way of winning. No longer is it about the "Superstar name" it's about "team" first. Sure they have plenty of talent but the egos are in check.
3 total Playoffs loses is very impressive.
I want them to beat the Nuggets. Most would agree that is the toughest matchup for them.
beautiful
Boston feels like what KD's Thunder should've been
Has any of those in the media who gave all these suggestions built a company and basketball team before? And they should know what's right for the Celtics?
We are the best 😢🎉😂
Damn, stop trying to make me like the Celtics.
somnehow people forgetting that Celtics won the title without porzings
