Can't seriously believe that any unbiased source would still believe in the sixers in the playoffs
Was thinking the same thing. They have choked far worse than any team other than maybe the clippers, in the past half-decade to decade. Anyone who thinks they could beat the celtics is just wrong, the celtics have owned philly the entire "process" era.
The fact Embiid hasn't gotten even half of the criticism that Giannis, Jokic and Tatum got for not being able to win a championship is wild to me. Giannis, Jokic and Tatum all got SLANDERED for it and Embiid hasn't faced 1/5th of the criticism and he hasn't even been in an ECF yet
The last time Philly was even in the ECF the Twin Towers were still standings
Especially considering the Celtics, no matter how bad they are usually end up finishing later in the season than the sizer.
@@Drizzlybear1I think that's the issue. The more you advance further into the playoffs like conference finals or the finals and not get it done, you will get scrutinized for it but if you don't advance further, ppl strangely seem to let it go more often than not.
They must not watch the playoffs 🤦🏽♂️ Philly hasn’t done anything since A.I.
As a Celtics fan it's been really nice watching these "I Was Wrong About the Celtics" videos....really really nice.
🍀🍀🍀🍀
I might make a playlist
@@josephalcindor61 Great idea, please do :)
I’m thinking a playlist would be glorious.
It feels nice that we finally proved the world wrong and silenced our doubters.
Thinking the 76ers would do anything is insane 😂😂😂
Facts 🤣🤣
even Doc Rivers acknowledged... to go and get PG-13 😅
Haha, hard to lose to the 76ers in the ECF when they don't ever make it there.
I think picking Dallas was being a prisoner of the moment. Boston proved all throughout the year they were upper echelon. You can point to the past catastrophes in the postseason, yes. But they added KP, white emerged as a legitimate lockdown/3rd/4th, or when you need It, 2nd option. Jrue gave them everything smart did, PLUS elite shooting. Unless this team faced Denver, It was going to be a cakewalk to the finals. A fully healthy Milwaukee team could’ve gave them a run. But this team is a top offensive and defensive team, there was no way Dallas was getting through them. Luka is unfortunately a slob. He’s burnt up by the end of the year because he has the gas tank of a dirt bike. If he can get conditioned to finish a season strong, they’ve got a shot. But Dallas needs one more bigger guy that can go get a bucket. To me, Boston was the clear cut favorite as soon as the Denver v MIN series was over.
Well said, Sir. 👏🏾
Definitely. Boston was the Mavs worst possible match up. Assuming Luka and Kyrie were going to overcome that was pure FOMO.
What "catastrophes" exactly? Lol
@@SabLew-yh2or losing as a 1 seed to the 8 seed Heat. Committing the most turnovers in the history of the finals against the warriors.
@@reggiebanksrb10 👏🏾👏🏾
Friendly reminder that Celtics threw game 4 to win in front of their fans
They were being gentlemen... For the gentleman's sweep. 🧹☘️
Feels like they went into that game knowing the refs were going to do their best to extend the series, they literally brought in “the extender” for game 4, so they just wanted to go out there and rest up for game 5 😂
I'm a Celtics fan and Nobody believes that!
@@patriciaaznavourian3014 as a Celtics fan, why would they wanna win in Dallas when they can win it at home for their crowd?
Game 4 didn't look winnable so they saved all their energy for Game 5.
It's been a good 16 years since their last championship and it made sense that Celtics won it on their home floor.
100%, they knew they were so much better than them. my guess is they went into game 4 thinking, if the mavs completely give up, we'll just take the win. otherwise, win back in boston where kyrie doesn't have a clue
Steph Curry put it best when asked about the Celtics, he said "we used to do that to teams"
Warriors made the Celtics into monsters after those 2022 Finals.
I also believed they had a chance to overcome a 3-0 lead last year but the Heats were shooting lights out that game 7 just to no show against the Nuggets. lol
A lot of the "experts" had it wrong, too.
Most people on the internet, the average users had it wrong too
It seems it was only Boston fans and the bookies that knew the Celtics would win it.
Most people were clouded by their hatred of Boston. Pathetic really.
@@StuTheDon17I agree. Such a dominating finals. People really thought the mavs would come back 3-0 after winning 1 game lol
@@StuTheDon17A select few had the Celtics. It was almost always the few who actually understood the game on a deeper level, ironically I think JJ Reddick has been the one the most right on them all season long. He's said again and again they were dominant and that they were going to be a team to watch out for.
I don't consider Stephen A Smith an expert (along with most of that ESPN crew).
One of the few UA-camrs who actually did this. Mad respect.
The narrative from the beginning of the season that really, really hasn’t aged well is the “Celtics don’t have depth”. This one still boggles my mind.
The starting 5 are obvious. We know those guys are all either All Star or fringe All Star or All NBA guys. But the bench. Horford, Pritchard, and Hauser are starter role players on many other teams (no, not all teams, but some). In no particular order: Kornet really stepped up. Is he the next coming of Shaq? Of course not. But he definitely falls into the category of “can hold his own”. If he’s out on the floor you may not be going forward, but you’re not going backwards either. Tillman had great play during the post season for the minutes he played. Brissett and Queta additionally stayed ready and willing to come in and hold their own as the season went by.
Those that don’t see the depth haven’t really watched the C’s play. There’s a reason why all season long the main stars and coach have constantly praised the Stay Ready crew.
The Celtics turned that narrative a complete 180. From “they don’t have any depth” to proving they’re one of the deepest teams in the league.
If Hauser is your 8th guy, you're doing pretty well in the depth department.
Not only that, but everyone in their starting 5 is a number 1 or 2 on alot of NBA rosters.
That wasn’t even a narrative at all. Literally-not at all. I listened to Boston sports hub radio all day, every day at work … The depth was well known. We’re talking about the top team in the whole league for literally the *entire* season. You must be talking about teenagers leaving comments under threads like this one. That’s not a narrative-that’s called trolling.
@@GourSmith It definitely was. Sorry about you being wrong. Stop talking.
@@chrish2112 It most definitely wasn’t. Professional analysts had been picking the Celtics to win the championship before the season even started. The Celtics literally had the deepest team in the league … And everyone knew it unless they didn’t watch Boston sports.
Nice apology but Where’s the part about how you were so hysterically wrong about the Celtics that in fact you might not actually know ball at all, have no idea what you’re talking about and making serious considerations to shutting down this UA-cam channel and changing careers? 🤔
I have no idea anything you just said. But no, I’ll keep the channel and do my thing, thanks
@@And.One.Hoops1 lmao. No hard feelings dude. Keep doing your thing. I’m just having fun scroll through these Boston Celtics apology videos
He seriously thought the Sixers would beat this team is hilariously bad. They couldn’t beat the J’s without Jrue and KP. SMH. Bucks are trash compared to the J’s too.
@@robertkelley198 I don’t get what else caused typically rational basketball fans to go against this Boston squad other than blind hatred or unchecked bias. Even the argument that this was the “same old celtics” doesn’t make any real sense once you poke at it since aside from Al, White, JB & JT it was a completely new squad with an actual assistant coaching staff.
there is still some homer -ism being said or general celtics hate but he apologized clearly and said he was wrong.
Props to you brother, you need to have character to accept when you are wrong
Dame is not a better player ... he is just a better scorer! Jrue is way better and a team player!
Jrue is not way better than Dame. He's a way better defensive player, but that alone does not make him better than Dame, and it never has. Dame is not just a better scorer; he's a better offensive player overall: better gravity, better range, better on-ball creator, better at getting to and finishing at the rim, better shooter, better playmaker, etc. There is a reason why Dame was the best player on his own team for around a decade years and is currently the second-best player on the Bucks, while Jrue has moved around quite a bit during his time in the league despite his great impact. You can't be a better player as a 3rd or 4th option than a guy who was a 1st option for many years and is currently the 2nd option on an opposing team in the same conference as you. Btw, Dame is a team player, too. If you're implying that he isn't, you're wrong.
@@urbaindelva7869 Dame is a team player? A bit, yeah! But he always takes matters on his own 'cause he don't trust his teammates more (talking 'bout his time in Portland). Then you people saying his teammates are not good enough so he doing the takeover thing ... but how would they be good if not given more chances? (Sorry for my English, not that good!)
People conflate who they want to win with who they think will win. It was blindingly obvious how good this Celtics team was all year. Notice how once the playoffs rolled around all the detractors would cling to narrative arguments (chokers, Tatum isn't on Joker's level, etc) instead of actually looking with their own eyes.
@mezzb
Exactly. It's the mob mentality that occurs over the internet. A few people say they don't like someone, then people jump on that bandwagon and before you know it, we've got a group of clowns who are believing a certain team is garbage because of their hatred of a player.
Low iq people fall for this trap.
@@mezzbyeah, bro. People that called us chokers shouldn’t even be allowed to watch basketball lol let alone talk it. I had people saying we choked against the Warriors…like, huh??? How??? Cause we lost to a team that has one of the top 10 players of all time?? And even in the 2 series against Miami, one was in the bubble which I darn help but look at differently cause it was some random court in Florida with everyone stuck together in a bubble and no fans cheering in the arena. And then last year, we literally came back from down 3-0, granted we shouldn’t have been down like that, then Tatum rolled his ankle at the very start of the game…and now that I think about it, weren’t we dealing with other injuries as well? With Robert Williams and Smart? Regardless, it’s absolutely insane to call a team with two stars that arguably hadn’t even hit their prime yet, chokers because they lost one series that they should’ve won. It’s funny cause they called us chokers yet we have far and away the best record in elimination games. How many times have we been down 3-2 then went on the road in the biggest moments, won, then closed out the series at home? We did it to the defending champion bucks and to the Sixers(which btw after we beat them in Philly in game 6 Tatum set the record for most points ever in a game 7 lol) and obviously we won 3 elimination games against Miami just last season…so it’s just incredibly disingenuous to say that bs about the Cs.
Im a celtics fan n i forgive u just dont let it happen again
Lol, yes sir
Everyone who took Mavs over Celtics did not watch Celtics games throughout the season.
People forget that the Celtics had a great record against the Western Conference in the regular season (23-7). That should have been an initial eye opener. Also, they were already a very good team but they went to great with the additions of KP, Jrue Holiday this year and Derrick White a few years back started that upward movement. Holiday and White provide the best backcourt in the NBA as great two way players that do the dirty work that make Brown and Tatum shine even brighter. They pick up the slack and fill in the gaps when they do occur.
80-21 overall. 64-18 in the regular season. 16-3 in the playoffs. 46-6 at home. 34-15 on the road. 57-13 vs the east. 23-8 vs the west. They dominated everyone, everywhere.
Lol. I kept bringing up that fact to everybody discounting celtics. You know how it is, people were dismissive with the typical "ReGulAr SeAsOn iS dIfFeRenT sO DoEsN't cOuNt" narrative. Most people didn't care about the facts and just blinded by their hate for Boston.
Mike Green did a run down of their record against the western conference.(27-8)
Last year's coaching staff were from Ime's time. This season Joe got his own. And the 3 50+ blowout win, just downright dominant.
I respect the apology but the idea that u had a Philly team without James Harden that we beat every time we faced them in the playoffs and Milwaukee who we beat twice in the playoffs and Dame who only plays one side of the court and aging team beating the Celtics is crazy...then on top of that u fed into the narrative that JB can't go left when it was only one game in last years playoffs he turned the ball over with his left is nuts..I've watched him his whole career he goes left just fine ..he didnt really have to prove that narrative wrong..
I could tell as a bulls fan u don't really wacth Celtics games ..it's easy too fall for the narratives when u don't wacth a team all the time.
I'm just happy the J's just dominated and won a title with there two young stars..oh by the way I'm not sold that Luka is better then the J's being that two J's actually play both sides of the court..being a better scorer doesn't mean your the best player.. this series just proved that two one dementinal plays can't beat two way players that are extremely talented.
Mad respect to you owning up to being wrong! Most content creators would’ve created excuses!!!
🙏
@@mezzbthank you someone with some sense wasnt rocket science picking the Ca they were the best team all year by a very big margin.. if you didnt see their dominance you were not paying attention
@@mezzbexactly. As a diehard C’s fan, I followed this team the whole year, and wasn’t worried at all after game 4. The only time I wasn’t even close to being worried was after game 2 vs Miami with the “here we go again” mindset but knew we’d bounce back. My only problem with this season was stepping on the gas like against Dallas game 3 and vs Cleveland and Milwaukee in the regular season. But besides that we were flawless this year.
I am a big fan of your channel and you admitting you were wrong is a big reason why
It doesn't hurt that I am a Celtics fan
Good take! One comment though: To say Lillard is clearly a better player than Holiday doesn't make sense to me. He is definitely a better scorer and a bigger name. But basketball is about so much more than scoring numbers, as we just saw demonstrated in the finals. The better team won because they were all on the same page, on offense as well as defense. Jrue has had an amazing impact and has 2 rings now, that's greatness right there.
I’ll take Holiday any day over Dame
I would take Holiday over Dame as well because he's a better teammate, but side by side, in a vacuum, Dame is the better player
@@And.One.Hoops1 exactly better player not teammate
Ride or die with Jrue!
@mezzb
Honestly, 3 is generous for Dame's defence. 1 or 2 is more realistic.
He is the worst defender in the game. He is a liability on defence.
The SIXERS?! I’m going to ask you something and I want you to be honest, are you on drugs?😂
Sixers? 😂
This was very back handed compliment-ty but... at least he made the video. No one on ESPN would ever.
This is an example of current sports today with media. Too much prisoners of the moment analysis with no real depth. But also on us for taking that take as literal and running with that
The idea that the Celtics were not “tested” and that the Mavs were gonna shock them never made any sense to me. They won 64 games in the regular season and were 12-2 through the first three rounds. At some point you have to get out of your own head and acknowledge the fact that when a team is that far ahead of everyone else in terms of team success you don’t need adversity to “test” you. As a Celtics fan I wanted to face the Mavs over the Timberwolves bc the Mavs did not match up well with them at all.
Luka is a great scorer. That does not mean he is a great basketball player. I'll take Russell's humble 11 championships over Wilt's boisterous 2. When will you so-called experts realize that defense wins championships?
Come on. Luka is great. If he was on the Celtics and JT or JB on Dallas. Luka would have a ring.
@@willaerley7140That's BS... Stop trying to save Luka by switching teams... You A$$-holes pick Dallas to win with the current roster don't try and and change up now.. Cs was dominating the Mavs before they pick up Jrue
@@willaerley7140 Luka is a great scorer. With other Celtics covering him on defense, of course he'd have a ring.
@@GB-ez6ge All I’m saying is he needs some help. He did a lot with a mediocre squad.
@@willaerley7140Luka would COMPLETELY ruin the Celtics entire system WHICH REVOLVES AROUND EVERYONE BEING ABLE TO DEFEND THEIR MAN 1 ON 1 AT A HIGH LEVEL LOL
If doncic was on the Celtics the Celtics would have never even made the finals in 2022 and wouldn't have made all the conference finals they have either
So sad that people still go by "this team has the best player and will win" such lazy "analysis". Dallas never had a chance when their defense sucks, boston can have 5 shooters and 5 1 on 1 defenders while playing great team defense too
Nevermind the fact that Tatum is a better overall player than doncic lol
They already beat the Bucks and the Sixers two years before. They would’ve steam rolled em bud
No, lucky for the BUCKS AND SIXERS they didn't see US. So they can, like Jimmy Butler, sit at home and woulda-coulda-shoulda us to death. B&tch, please. We'd have destroyed them. All of them. The Sixers? When has Joel Embiid EVER beaten the C's in the postseason? A: Never. It's pretty complete PWNage at this point. Ah, Star Power. Thou shalt always hypnotize the masses.
If you could explain how and why Boston were going to struggle against the Philidelphia 76ers, it would be much appreciated.
Every year youtubers and media pundits has Philly as contenders, yet they never are. They are garbage.
People hate Boston to the point where it affects their ability to be objective lol, even analysts… like is this what you actually think is going to happen or is it just what you desperately want to happen.
The Celtics would’ve smoked all those teams. Weaknesses get exposed against the Celtics.
At least you apologized how about the media personnel who choose dallas in 5?😊
Lol, still waiting on that from them
I respect you for owning up💯 that deserves a subscribe and a like💪🏾
“”””luckily””””” the Celtics never saw the Sixers in the playoffs 😂😂😂 bro my fuckin sides
It takes real man to admit his faults. But it takes a dope to doubt this Celtics team in the first place. Lol go☘️
I was the dope for sure
Lets just be honest. Nobody wanted boston to win other than boston. They let the hate cloud their judgment. Even without KP boston had the best roster. 1-5 can do everything. Dont need as many bench guys when guys can literally take on a different role every night and still get wins
Celtics have been beating the Sixers to a pulp in the regular season and playoff in the last few years. They have also beaten the Bucks in their last playoff match up. To think that an improved Celtics team (both from acquisitions and in organic improvement in Jays' game) would lose to either one of those 2 teams is nonsensical. The Jays, D White and KP are at the doorstep of entering their prime with more room for growth. Pritchard and Hauser are expected to improve from experience and be even bigger contributors. This team is set up to compete if not the favorite for the title in each of the next five years. Yes, injuries can derail it but that is can be said for any team in any sport.
This Celtics team is just one of the most complete team I've seen in a while. For all the complaints about how "easy" the Celtics had it because of injuries to other teams, the Celtics played most of the playoffs without Porzingis & still dominated teams.
Celtics were just a horrible matchup for the Mavs. They had the defence to suffocate Luka & keep him off balance, and they have always known how to shut down Kyrie. They also just had too many people many weapons. Yeah, Tatum & Brown are always a threat, but you also have Derrick White & Jrue Holiday who in addition to their stellar defense, can sneakily put up a lot of points too. Mavs had no answer for that.
Also have to give a shout out to Big Al Horford. I'm so glad he got his ring at long last. Well deserved too, These playoffs he really turned back the clock 10 years & looked like All Star Al Horford.
“Luckily for them” the Celtics did not see the Bucks or Sixers - sounds like you are doubling down on take that Celtics wouldn’t make it out of east?
Embiid has never had a healthy playoff run, and the Lillard/Doc experiment did not work.
Ime udoka is probably the worst thing to happen to the celtics… bro butchered the finals against the warriors and people seriously sat there and said he was better than joe…. joe went back to back years with a top 1-2 offense and defense… not to mention now coming back with huge improvements with himself and won a title… Ime could never… bro was too worried about getting his pp wet and didn’t focus on the main goal.. ☘️🏆 back to back 🔜
Lmao the fact you thought that Embid would beat the best version of the Celtics he’s ever played against in the playoffs is hilarious , when he’s never beat them in the playoffs
Next season watch the regular season games!!! The 2 games against Dallas told you all you needed to know!!
People often forget that Boston can and will scheme against Dame on both ends. Most likely, Dame giveth and Dame taketh away scoring-wise. Also, this core knows how to defend Giannis. They have beaten him a lot of times before.
Boston beat Milwaukee with their Smart-White-JB-JT-Horford two years ago. Bucks have since just stood put except for swapping Dame with Holiday. With Celtics upgrading from Smart and adding KP, they are honestly the clear favorite if that matchup happened.
Agreed. Indiana trouble Boston more than anyone else in the East.
The pace they play at can be chaotic for Boston to deal with. Which is why the Pacers had some good results against Boston in the regular season and pushed them in each game in the playoffs.
As a Boston fan, I'm watching our for the Pacers next season, not Milwaukee. We know what to expect from the Bucks. Indiana could be anything.
@@StuTheDon17 Facts. They have the length and shooting - from Turner to Hali and their hardnosed bench mob. Nesmith just has another gear he goes to whenever it's a Boston game lol. When the Cs lost in the IST they was one of the teams to be reckoned with. Honestly thought it'd go 6 games not a sweep. Anyway with Mathurin back in the lineup next year we can expect them to be formidable even if they don't move any pieces this offseason.
@@StuTheDon17 after this season, the only other teams I want to watch besides the Celtics are OKC and the Pacers, and moreso the latter. The Pacers have so much potential and if they can develop a good defensive scheme they can become legitimate contenders
Luka was not the best player in the series. The best player in the series plays offense and defense.
The chemistry and pieces have to be there for a team to win the chip. When you see the role players making plays on both ends of the floor in the playoffs, you know they have “it.”
it's amazing how well a player can improve when he is only asked to be the 4-5th option and not the 2nd. Milwaukee was hurting without Middleton. Holiday is perfect for the Celtics.
this the best part about winning when every haters have to admit being wrong
I guess at least you came back to accept you were wrong but insane you didn’t think they’d get past the 76ers like Philly is a team that beat the Cs every year. Then being a prisoner of the moment like every expert who picked the “greatest backcourt” ever and ignored how the other team dominated the league all year.
I'm a Celtics fan and I had the same doubts until the Indiana series. They had trouble with Denver, the Clippers and Oklahoma, fortunately none of whom came out of the west. Tatum is a low efficiency scorer who they always go to in the clutch for some reason. I still believe they are too reliant on the three. They tend to be iso-heavy with 4 guys standing around.
However, in the Indiana series, they suddenly displayed poise in the clutch. They also started coming up with great offensive stategies, and really focused in on defense. Brown who was a near-liability until December, suddenly reduced his turnovers and stopped forcing the offense at that point. Tatum was improving his passing all year.
This team still has a glaring weakness in Tatums insistence on the pull-up threes, which he is lifetime 30% on. He need to be more like Jaylen and take the mid-ranges every once in a while and maybe work more off the block.
Imagine pretending your a Celtics fan because you think your 🤡 asss takes will be taken More seriously 😂
Dallas did not have the best player in the series you 🤡
If you didn't learn that Tatum is a better overall player than doncic after watching thee finals... You are not capable of analyzing the game on this level
Calling others clowns behind a keyboard. Very brave my guy
lol you picked the sixers over them lol
You owe yourself finding a new hobby because you clearly aren't qualified to talk about the nna/basketball on an analytic level
Nah, I’ll keep doing it. Thanks
Another channel with negative ball knowledge. Thats why kids, dont watch channels that feed content for the casuals
Relax
Huge props for being graceful and intellectually honest. Rare trait among hoops taking heads, on YT especially. You just gained a subscriber.
🙏🙏
Vegas: Nothing to be sorry about, bro.
The Bucks brought in Doc Rivers. They instantly became a non-threat
Ouch.
I remember when he was the Greatest Coach back when DVDs were something people would rent.
What this celtics proved is BEST TEAM>BEST PLAYER.
This is now the blueprint for teams who dont have MVP candidates to be competitive like the pacers. OKC already copying the model with the caruso trade.
What people should learn from this finals is to assess the team as a whole (or at least their top 8 and their coaching staff) instead of assessing their best 1-2 players.
Dont recommend this channel mfs love to doubt watch next year
Cool story
Yes. Yes you do. ☘️🏆☘️

Picking Dallas means YDKSAB. It was an obvious one sided matchup 😂
Bucks and Sixers -- barring major trade or free agent acquisitions -- are probably done. In 1986, the Celtics won the title with a team considered by many to be one of the best AND had the 2nd pick in the draft. Took over 20 years before they would win again. Sometimes it's over and you don't realize it yet.
My question: who is the first to break for the Lakers.... Greek Freak or Embiid?
The Sixers do have the cap space to sign a free agent now (see ya Tobias Harris) but you might be right about Milwaukee. Everyone is just getting older or injury prone. Doc Rivers being there doesn’t help either
Embiid is a Sixer for life. He’s not leaving.
to be fair to the 1986 Celtics, our draft pick literally died two days after the draft, which completely botched all future plans. then our next big prospect also died just as he was about to hit his prime, so there was just an extraordinary amount of bad luck involved. that said, considering the state of our front office at the time we probably wouldn't have made much noise anyway, but we might've not been as trash as we were in the 90's
Ya, and that 2nd pick, Len bias DIED two days after the draft you 🤡
If that didn't happen the Celtics have 2 more banners MINIMUM
There are only two constants in life. Death and the Embiid's Sixers choking vs the Celtics in the playoffs.
No Holiday no Banner that’s 100% I agree. He does so much that don’t show up on a stat sheet. Coach Mazzulla Congrats you Made Johnston RI Proud. I know your Dad is proud. 🙏 RIP Danny Mazzulla
Thank you, humbleness is God command. NBA media has ruins themselves from their analysis that they favored Mavs to win the championship. They overlook and downgrade the Celtics. God bless.
A guy who's useless literally half the game cannot be the best player
After 30 seconds of this video I’m wondering if I should finish lol
Anyone who picked against the Celtics is a 🤡
Find a new hobby buddy
Anyone who makes comments calling others clowns needs to rethink their life
@And.One.Hoops1
Anyone who thought Philly was going to trouble Boston needs to rethink their interests in this sport....
Nah, I’m good where I’m at, thanks
Everyone who spoke down on is should go to Boston and kiss Lucky
“Luckily they didn’t run into the Bucks or Sixers” The Cs have always gotten the edge over Philly in the JT/JB era what made you think they’d have any chance given their latest roster construction? Same goes for the Bucks who lost Jrue and had Middleton who was a shell of himself
These “I was wrong about one of the most dominating teams in NBA history” videos are like crack. Feed me more.
Lillard is NOT the better player he is a better Shooter! JRUE is a better BASKET-Baller Facilitate Steals Blocks Rebounds Gets in the paint, One of the best on ball defenders in the #NBA all while becoming a better shooter! Complete Basketballers are VERSATILE NOT one dimensional! The #Celtics know a winner when they see one!
After this season, most national NBA media need to consider how they fell victim to subjective bias and group think. I appreciate your channel and your content, and if you want to move forward successfully in this field, you need to assess why everyone got these 2 things so wrong:
1) the Celtics always choke in the biggest moments
2) Dallas in 6
For the first point, I don't know why anyone in the media considered the 2017, 18, and 20 Celtics teams having relevancy to the 22, 23, and 24 teams. Sure, they all made the conference finals, but that's where the comp ends. Those teams had Avery Bradley, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Kelly Olynyk, Tristan Thompson, etc. That was the Celtics getting their "ahead of schedule" with Tatum and Brown. Those teams had NO CHANCE of winning a title. And instead, they get folded into the "Boston always chokes and can't win the big one". This is just lazy, ponderous, unserious journalism.
Now, to the second point. Did anyone watch Boston during the regular season? Did you look at their record vs teams above .500, their record vs Western conference teams, the fact they never once lost 3 games in a row? Does the regular season matter? When was the last time a mediocre team like Dallas made trades in February that resulted in a championship? Rarely if ever happens, bro.
The reason no one picked Boston is because the first point folded into the second. If you just looked at the stats and the match ups and didn't know it was the Boston Celtics (team A) vs. Dallas (team B) there is simply NO WAY anyone picks team B. The media was lazy, unserious, and fell victim to group think regarding Luca and Kyrie.
I hope the NBA media is better in the future.
You didn’t think the Celtics could get past the Sixers at the beginning of the year? You’re aware Joel Embiid is 0-3 against the Celtics in the playoffs with a W/L record of 3-12… Embiid has never been out of the 2nd round. The Celtics past of not being able to get over the hump influenced you more than a guy who’s history is non stop playoff choking? Make that make literally any sense at all challenge: impossible.
The Celtics were punished for making deep runs in 17 and 18 when Brown and Tatum were rookies. They should have lost in the first round or missed the playoffs every year like SGA (25 years old, just won his first playoff series).
Brown and Tatum are 27 and 26 and won their first title like everyone else does. They weren't chokers because they had more success before they were ready.
You believing in the sixers yet being skeptical on the Celtics gives me everything I need to know about your ball knowledge LMFAOOOOOOO
You didn’t have the Celtics beating the 6ers ? Uhhh … what ? I don’t think Philly ever advanced against the Celtics. Ever.
Much respect to you making this video🙏🏼 to be fair tho, tatums “ups and downs” were him leading the team in essentially every statistic for the C’s in a 16-3 playoff run. If anyone took the time to look at his “off” shooting games he’ll have the most boards and a few assists and solid defense
Props for apologizing for a foolish take…..if all the people who foolishly disrespected this team did that, UA-cam might explode….
Anyone can pick any team..... you dont need to apologidez for that, but you need to apologize because you dont do it for a good reason, you just hated on them.... you buy all the smok that ESPN and all other media sell .... just for their agenda and no other reason.... for that you need to apologize
It’s funny how the team that was far and away the best team in the NBA all season long and got ZERO respect. The Association hates that Boston is the top franchise and does everything it can to cut them down, you think it’s just bad luck that they never won the draft lottery no matter how many balls they had in it until the year AFTER David Stern retired??? 😂
I knew Boston was winning the second I saw the mavs beat the wolves. Worst possible matchup for Dallas. Boston also clears every East team healthy. The bucks are literally the eastern version of the mavs lol
I’ll raise my hand and say that Jrue is the better player than Dame.
Dame is the classic short gunner who simply is allowed to take all the shots that he wants which gets him the numbers to consistently make silly All-Star lists. He is worthless on defense, be unable to become a force in playoff basketball because of the bigger focus on D at that stage.
Jrue could prob be a 26/8 type guy with another team…but he is that rare player that understands winning basketball requires all the other things besides merely scoring 30 by taking 30 shots…
Don't know why you thought Philly would give the Celtics problems when we saw in past playoffs the Sixers losing to Boston and this year the Celtics had the better roster but other than that, respect for owning up to you being like everyone that picked the Mavs. You just have to next time instead of looking at the runs each team have, watch film and compare matchups. I had Celtics in 6 but tbh I knew if everything went right, the Celtics could win in 5 and they didn't even shoot the ball well compared to their regular season stats
Considering they had the best record for the season why would anyone think they could beat anyone? What a joke, talk about hating Boston we see your true colors. Celtics are Champs get over it LA, NY and Miami
Great video my guy. Even as a C's fan I had my doubts too and especially in Joe M. But I was so wrong about Joe. Never really heard much from him last year except for his post game pressers where he's always being sarcastic and kinda an asshole but then with this year and all the media attention the C's got and also all the podcasts I got to see more of who he really is and I agree with you he's got a big basketball 🧠 and is actually a pretty down to earth guy. Glad the Celtics got him and the core players locked up for a few years.
I'm honest not sure Luka is the best player in the series.
Luka is not a 2-way player like Brown and Taum. He's totally one-dimensional.
The Celtics did not have the easiest path in history not by far. The showtime 80s Lakers were playing teams in the playoffs under .500 do a little research man
Sixers? In the history of Celtics franchise, they never lost a round to Philly 😂😂😂😂let’s get that out of the way. U r a foo unsubscribed jeez
In the 80s they did.

Which was before the dude that runs the channel was born....
1967 The Bill Rusell & Co Celtics lost to the Sixers. I'm a die hard Celtics fan but ... geeze ... know your history. ✌️
@@inbreath3 congrats u fooled urself.
I don't know if I'd be so quick to say Lillard is a better player than Holiday. The Bucks obviously thought so, and they won 9 fewer games with him than they did with Holiday the previous year. Jrue might not light up the scoreboard, and he doesn't have his own catch phrase, but he plays winning basketball.
This isn’t quite enough of a mea culpa in my opinion. All you do is tout all of the stats and figures that we all knew and therefore thought it was crazy to pick anyone but the Celtics, but you don’t say why your view was wrong and then go onto show exactly how they beat Dallas at every phase, in contrast to how you thought Xs and Os would play out.
Even if you only watched the occasional Celtics game this year, you could see the serious maturation or both Tatum and Brown. Both cut their turnovers way down. Tatum also expanded his game to become a great distributor and all-around player. With Jrue and D White being the best two-way backcourt in the league, the sky is the limit. They keep this group, and expect a few more rings in the coming seasons.
Contradictory commentary. You believed the Celtics would lose against either the Bucks or Sixers but they've beaten both those teams without KP and Jrue and a weak bench.
Also you said you knew Jrue to the Celtics would be better than Dame to the Bucks, but you still chose the bucks to beat the celtics in the playoffs? Lol
0:30 I just wanna know what on earth made you think this… your opinion is your opinion but my god buddy you were off by 500miles?😂
Bud the Celtics haven’t finished in past years but they still owned Philly and Milwaukee in the postseason since the bubble
"I didn't think they'd be able to get past the Bucks or the Sixers, but luckily for them they didn't have to face either of them."
No one, and I mean no one, is worried about the Sixers in the playoffs. Come on broski, are we watching the same NBA?
The Celtics had their best starting five in years. As well as a very good bench. The Mavericks had two or three solid players and fill-ins rounding out their roster. Being wrong about the Celtics…..No one is 100% all the time.
I can’t believe people had the Sixers over the Celtics. C’s been knocking at the door for years! Sixers hasn’t even sniffed past the semis.
You didn't think they would get past the Sixers team that they own and beat every single time? Not worth listening to your opinion after that comment.
Still trying to push the Celtics dont have a defined number one guy narrative isnt showing growth lol. Its Tatum and its ok to admit it.
