I like Tatum but it’s going to be some crazy narratives if he can’t win with this squad
Harden choke v2
@@triplekillerable L harden hate
Mazzulla will make sure he can't
I like Tatum but he hasn’t beaten Denver at all 0-2 and they have a losing record against the top west teams. 😂😂 Tatum gonna Tatum again this playoffs
@@moondogg007you can say the same with the wolves and the suns
Tatum gonna go wild
Agree this is the Celtics year everything has fallen into place for us to win it. If it doesn’t happen this year it never will with Tatum and Brown.
I think they will win but even if they do not, you have to run it back. GSW did not win every year but they kept their people together. This team has been successful and any change would make them worse and get them further away from a chip.
@@danielthompson3928 This is the year to do it though. If it doesn’t happen this year I don’t think they will win one together. The only thing stopping them is themselves and possibly the Nuggets. They have too many weapons on offense as well as great defenders 1-5 no reason to not win it now. I’m sick and tired of losing in the ECF.
I completely agree with Perk on this, ZERO EXCUSE for Celtics! Tatum talks a good talk, now he needs to finally cross the finishing line. Anything outside of Boston winning the championship this season, is a failure for them. They have the records, players, skills, experience and heartache to come out on top this season.👀👀
His seat is under the most pressure
I like Tatum but he has to be ready for the huge amount of hate he’ll receive if he doesn’t win a ring
Hate to break it to you but he’ll still be getting hate even if they win, they’ll find a reason to not give him credit
He already gets a huge amount of hate 😂 he's used to it ...people talk as if he's just a good role player being praised as a superstar
@@RJ-gk4rtlol well the east is weak this year especially with all the injuries to the top teams.
@@hugogonzalez7101ok but if he beats the nuggets especially if they are healthy how can we say that’s bad
Last year isn't This year. I suspect more than just a few folks are going to have to learn that.
I’m definitely with Perkins 🙌🏿✊🏾🦾
All I know is the Knicks ain't getting passed the 2nd round 😅
Much like how your grammar didn't get *past* elementary?
@MichaelJonahTV Much like how you'll never amount to anything in life but a simple internet Troll 🤣 HURTS TO BE YOU MICJON NOTV
I haven’t heard Perk say this before…
Tatum AND Brown
It’s not the squad it’s the coach
41% to the Nuggets 13% is nasty work
thats because the East is banged up. Embiid, Giannis, Randle , Butler . There is no team that should stop the Celtics so they should be fresh in the Finals.If they dont get to the Finals thats a choke
They are that strong . No one is close to tatum white , prozingas three. But I hope denver does it
Not really the East isn’t as good.
Celtics have, NO EXCUSES 😮
Mazzulla a pretty good one. Like not having a competent coach at all.
@@turzyn40We wouldn’t win 64 games with an incompetent coach.
@@brettduncan15 talent and experience did that duh...just like when he took over for Udoka's great seasoned squad...Udoka NEVER would have gone down 0-3 to heat smh! 5 other east coaches in post season better..
@@mariopippin3008 Brown and Tatum didn’t play well at the start of that series . Can’t blame that all on coaching.
if miami wins this series espn will start talking about the nfl at april 😭😭😭😭
Boston won't beat the Lakers in a 7-game series, let alone Denver. These analytics are insane.
Tatum gonna go crazy
In turnovers, yes.
Stop it. You say that every year
Y'all say the same thing every year.
They don't know how to solve Heat zone defense.
@@bertvarquez2026 KP
All the pressure is on the Celtics nobody expect my Heat to do anything. I love it GO HEAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
nah u coping bc its OVER for the magic trick culture just like GSW!
@@mariopippin3008 nan I believe in my team, they will take this series all the way to 7 games and win.
Lets laugh at Lakers. Jokic is Lebrons daddy
LeFlop should retire.
LeFlop throwing talcum powder like he’s the GOAT and then disappears in the fourth when it matters.
smhh...laugh at a top 5 player of all time? ok carry on gen z!
lets all laugh King has more rings than your ENTIRE FRANCHISE'S Players lolololol
Butler is out too
After watching Game 1, they would have still lost with Butler. Boston just toyed with them and completely trashed them. This is definitely a sweep.
@PatriceEvra3 Sweep if things were old school. But NBA would like to generate some $$ by pushing this to at least 5 if not 6.
Boston have the highest salaried player in the NBA and he has never won a regular seaoson MVP, title or Finals MVP. I would say Boston better justify having such a generously compensated player.
Plus cant dribble or make free-throws 🤔but he is OUR cant dribble make free-throws all star!☘
Perk needs to stay on that side now
The Heat went up 3-0 against the Celtics and nearly swept them in ECF last year...then the Celtics came storming back to tie the series and eventually lost to the Heat in a game 7 in Boston on there home floor...so Celtics better not lose to the Heat in the first round especially now that the Heat are gonna be without Jimmy buckets...should be a fun series to watch regardless.
No worries, no Butler with Jrue and Zinger addition, it’s a sweep
I don't understand why people get so mad at Perkins. he can be inaccurate sometimes but he's funny to me....people need to mellow out...sour diesel helps! ☘
Sitting here watching another 30pt lead disappear in the 4thQ. This is why they haven't won a championship yet. If they don't get their heads straight they won't win this year either. They've given more fourth quarter leads away and it needs to be addressed. It's not championship basketball, no matter how good you are for three quarters.
Was it 20-30 points?
Yup, no excuses regardless
Seen games come down to SECONDS and blowing 20-30 points, 4th quarter, will never take it all or get that lead again in banners
Every team gives up big leads you should try watching more games. Clippers were up 30 and Dallas got it down to 15. It’s crazy the Celtics can win by 20 covering the 14 point spread and people still crying.
@@jayy88 dude I've watched about 70% of the Celtics games. They set the record for losing a game when they were up more than 30pts, it's not a bad game, it's a bad habit.
@@ursirius4878 they set the record for most wins this season by a lot people just need something to nitpick
@@jayy88 Cmon now if you know the Celtics you should know what their weaknesses are as well as their strengths. It's not nitpicking to say they haven't won a ring and this is one of the reasons. Seriously you don't think blowing leads and not playing in the fourth ISN'T a problem. Maybe you should watch more games or understand the game better. Because that's a weakness.
Boston will win the Eastern Conference
A healthy Bucks team can beat them. So what exactly are you talking about.
Blud said be healthy like players can't literally tell their bodies: okay, no injuries today, we want to win a chip
First trippy dubby
Did I hear correct? Cavs 2nd best chance to win east?
rose mary blue
AD scored 37 last year and Lakers still lost. LeBron goes 31 in a half and finished with 40 and they still got swept. They combined for nearly 60 yesterday and they still lost.
Good job, Denver. Let them go off because Jokic and Murray will cancel them out. You gotta make sure Reaves, DLo, and Hachimura don’t go off. You make sure MPJ, Gordon, and KCP outplays them.
The Lakers are nothing when it’s only AD and LeBron doing most of the scoring load. No Dwight Howard to save them now. Too small, Lakers. Denver is going to be a mismatch nightmare when you double Jokic and 6’10 MPJ and 6’8 AG are standing there waiting for his pass. Even Lakers’ backcourt of DLo and AR is small and unathletic.
6’2 Russell vs. 6’4 Murray
6’5 Reaves vs. 6’5 KCP
6’8 Hachimura vs. 6’10 MPJ
6’9 LeBron vs. 6’8 Gordon
6’10 Davis vs. 6’11 Jokic
Let’s also not underestimate REGGIE JACKSON. Back in 2021, Clippers fans called him Mr. June. He loves beating the Lakers. He wants that smoke. If the game gets close, he’s capable bailing Denver out. Reggie has shown to be way more clutch in the playoffs than DLo has ever shown.
We already know DLo is LeBrat’s scapegoat when Lakers fails this year and they will fail. DLo took 420 almost literally by going 620. These next 3-4 more games will be his last wearing a Lakers uniform.
I don’t care if Lakers get Klay, Trae, and CP3 on a bargain. They’re still not tall enough to handle Denver’s starting lineup. You’re just not good enough, Lakers. You can’t rely on a guy in Season 21. You are a 7th seed for a reason.
Denver never forgot what happened in that bogus bubble. AD hits a game winner I believe in Game 2. Ever since then, Denver has become the Lakers’ daddy. They took it personal. Payback is a mfer…
Can’t wait for the next LeGOAT excuses. Ran out of gas. Too old. Blame DLo. LeBron doesn’t have enough help. Fire Ham and Pelinka. Trade everyone except LeBron. Blame DLo 100 more times.
Pat4Clippers the copy and paste master 👴🏻 🤣
Pat4Clippers I still find it extremely hilarious that you said sports don’t matter but yet here you are with your essays 🤣 🤣 🤣
u gotta get out more...i know your psychiatrist told u that
Never heard anyone use my LeBron nickname😂😂😂😂
Espn talking nba heads are still clueless 😮😮😮. Can Tatum finally step up and score big by playing one on one because he plays for a stacked team??? He is loving to dump the ball like a booker😢😢😢
ESPN Halftime Report = Stephen A. babbling on for 2 minutes. Then 15 minutes of commercials. 👎
to hades w the Olympic snub, GOD KYRIE ANDREW IRVING ABOUT TO SNAP! get your popcorn ready ladies and gents!
Don’t lose….#heatnation
Celtics gotta win the east every other REAL contending team best player hurt
Chocker
I said 3 days ago everyone talking can this team and that team beat the Celtics, I said YES because the Cs are SOFT!! If there Jumpers are not falling they will Loose you can't win shooting Jump Shots in the Playoffs! LOL
Tatum wants so bad to be Kobe he will do anything, except the one thing that Kobe is known for; winning.
Perkins "the shaqtin a fool legend" is taking about 0 excuses, lmao cute.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Exactly
has a ring and DEF contributed nicely casual!
Good luck with that with a Mazzulla on your side. 😬
Will Tatum finally show up or continue to be the booker of the east? 😂😂😂
Don't let us get 1........ #HeatNation
🤧🤣dreamer
Kiddo... Even WITH Jimmy Butler, y'all would have lost this game. Boston completely trashed them. This is definitely a sweep.
So you responding after this game
@@shermandudley5548 I said 1. Not necessarily this 1.
@@shermandudley5548 YOU LET US GET ONE!!!!!
🔥let’s go heat 🔥let’s go heat 🔥let’s go heat
How the Celtics have a higher chance than the nuggets. And the Celtics haven’t beaten them at all this season and have a losing record against the top west seeds 😂😂 yeah Ight. I got Denver beating the Celtics in the finals
joker 8 - 9 v Beantown Bombers!
This Celtic team chemistry is different than prior I don’t think Kristap and Jrue compliment Brown and Tatum game like there something off with the chemistry
MARCUS SMART!!
I mean Perk is right. The east is weak right now and Boston ram packed every team in the east and it should be no excuse if they don’t. Boston will choke to Denver in the finals. Vegas on that crack having Boston over Denver
How is losing to Denver a choke?
@@jayy88 Boston has a loaded team they should win the finals. It’s a choke if they don’t win
@@jrod132You’re kind of disrespecting DEN, they are the defending champs for a reason. They have the soon to be MVP Jokic who is the best player in the world right now, with an experienced group along with clutch Murray and a great coach.
@@Dreams82978 how am I disrespecting Denver? Reread what I said “Boston will choke to Denver” meaning Denver will repeat
@@jrod132 you act like Denver doesn’t have 4 guys that can get 20 any night including the best player in the world.
Celtics have the easiest road to the finals no excuses
Big is going to be back bitten at the end of today..
The Heat have 1 arm tied behind their backs with Jimmy and Terry out and the Celtics are lucky for it. The media is happy because they dont want this to be close and that's fine my boys will still be ready to fight
hush! media dont care..
I like how media keep on looking passed Denver
vegas!
they going to the finals but not gone win
Boston is in the east. Send them west for some real competition.
The East is served on a platter for the Celtics. No excuses
Celtics are going to beat the Heat then the Cavs then the bucks then the Nuggets, Clippers, Mavericks or Suns.
41%. 😂😂😂 gtfo.
I think it will be either bucks or Celtics winning it all.
must be milw fan!
CELTICS ARE SOFT! NO INSIDE GAME ONLY JUMP SHOTS! GO KNICKS!!!
What is it about the Celtics that gets these Analysts so hard. They're always favored. I don't really get it. There is no way beating Denver if they meet.
How is it so hard to get? They got 64 wins this year and had one of the highest point differentials of all time.
Btw, Jokic has a 8-9 record against the Celtics 😂
@@vm20709Why is Jokic playing against a whole team by himself?
@@MYFAVORITES5 he's not obviously. But he represents the modern Nuggets and my point is that they are not unbeatable esp against the Celtics. But I hope you're just being facetious and didn't really think I was saying it's Jokic against the entire Celtics team
If game is close, Celtics will choke. I’m a Celtics fan but unfortunately, that’s been the pattern for them.
then you are lucky that the East is in bits. Giannis, Embiid, Randle and Butler all injured. Mitchell just came back from injury. Orlando is green. Indy too. No team should really challenge Boston.
MAZZULLA!!
Praying pattern changes, 2008 was a longggg time ago
Shai doesn’t have any pressure and he’s on the same age like Tatum and older than luka
Why?.?
Because the Tatum led Celtics have made deep playoff runs, OKC hasn't. After this year, of OKC has a deep playoff run, he'll have more pressure to win going forward.
Shai is also leading a young team that has no playoff experience it's unlikely that they will be making it to the finals though give okc a few years to grow.
Why do they have the Celtics winning this , they never do they alway choke just cause they did good n the regular season don’t mean they gone win the whole thing this happens to much
East is boring
ol skool! get with it youngn!
Perk just shut up. Dude always with bipolar takes! 🤡
Vegas is on crack..
