I’ve gained a lot of respect for the maturity level of the team in dealing with adversity these playoffs. They don’t crumble anymore. So proud of the guys. 1 more win. So close. Go Celtics ☘️💪
This team is different in the past they would have fumbled this win away . They were poised and showed mental toughness in this playoff run , especially down the stretch tonight. Let's go Celtics !! 1 mo
Very true, Doris Burke (btw, what is her grudge against Boston? ) said how this team struggles in close games, and I thought about it. Boston hasn't lost a close game for months. Just one was maybe against Denver. And are undefeated in close games in the playoffs, which is what? 4-0? Maybe 5 or 6-0?
I'm a Boston fan from Australia. I've been a fan since 08 because all my mates went for the lakers. I google who the Lakers biggest rival was and I've been a fan since.
John, I’ve been following this team for a while now but at the same time I’ve been following this team with you. It’s so surreal to see the Celtics one win away from a ring. Another stellar performance from the team, just so close it’s crazy. We’re literally 48 minutes of basketball away from a championship… thank you John
Yup, I’ve pretty much waited my whole life for this because I was pretty much a baby in 08. As much as I really do want to win in the garden. I don’t want them to get complacent
I just can’t believe we are one win away. Native New Yorker now living in North Carolina and I been a die hard for almost 20 years. I fell in love with the team and never looked back. Although I have went to plenty of road games, I never been to a home game. But where I will be next week is in Boston for that damn parade , that will bring tears of joy to my face lol. Go Celtics ☘️☘️☘️
Appreciate the kind words but in all sincerity… Dallas caught lightning in a bottle. Denver will be back next year. Unless Luka and Kyrie get help and both magically improve on defense, I don’t see them getting out of the West again. They need a stretch big and more 3 and D wings… Derek Jones Jr came back down to earth. Gafford and Lively are solid but redundant.
Hats off to your gamesmanship. Appreciate honest and sincere opponents. As a Boston fan I'll say it's not over till it's over. But I hope you're right!
Part of me wants us to secure the championship in Boston, but I also don’t want any complacency , no risks, no miracle history defying comeback. Just end it in four, Celtics.
So happy for him. I think the media really WANTS to give it to JT, so its entirely possible if the series extends or he has a big closeout game on Friday, I could see him getting it... It doens't matter in the end, but I really want this for Jaylen. He's worked so hard, improved every year and done so with frankly not even close to enough appreciation from media/fans/other players. He's showing what I think many celtics fans knew he had in em and its just great to see.
I said the same thing. Easily clears the 08 team! This team so much younger and fun to watch! JB and JT make the game look fun! Their highlights are so dope, they’re all over the internet and I love it!! 😂😂. Everyone finally respecting them! Especially JB! The idiots worried about JT shooting when he lost 2 games in the playoffs 😂
Well I'm a lost sole from Pembroke, MA living in Idaho. It's 2am here. I haven't missed a game in 3 years. If the game is not on the TV then it's on my phone. Let's give the Mavs a win on Friday so I can fly to Boston for Banner #18 and the Duck Boat parade. Oh and a nice dinner at Anthony's in the North End.
Love watching your show in the morning here in Germany with a cup of coffee and getting the day started with a big smile on my face Thank you so much for everything LFGO CELTICS 🍀on a roll what a great team win once again Boston strong 💪🏾
John, I think we forget when comparing to our Pierce-KG-Ray era, Jaylen and Jayson made similar sacrifices 4-6 years YOUNGER than when they did. We asked these guys to mature a lot faster and they’re one win away from accomplishing everything they did (a possible finals win and finals loss). It will be interesting to see where they go from here as they continue their hopefully long journey.
@@tylerriley2587 Truthfully, I was so fearful of the Celtics in 2022 - loved Marcus Smart, Al Horford one of my favorite NBA players, Jrue Holiday key player addition - happy for Tatum Brown, White and Porzingis. Shouldn't assume Celtics will win, but all headed in right direction. Congrats to the Celtics - in tradition of Russell, Jones, Havlicek, Nelson, Sanders, Cowens, White, Silas, Bird, Ainge, Parish, McHale, Johnson, Walton - Celtics set up well for next few years ... 😀
Yes banner 18 is within reach now and Bob Cousys wish will be granted and Brown is our closer right now what a bucket by him when our lead is down to 2 points
Celtics in 1! What a dominant year! Its been great followinf along with you John, and the following that has been here night in and night out! This was the first year that i was able to watch EVERY second if every game. This group has maturity now, and credit has to go to Jrue and JB!! Mazulla is a mastermind and has grown alot in a short amount of time. Get the duck boats ready!
John. What an amazing win. This is going to be an enotional next couple of days. I am so excited, cautious, reflective, and proud all at the same time. We will never forget this. The hate, criticism, envy, all the above to the Jays after all these years, the past failures, the trades, the so called analysts distain and nauseated narratives. All the emotions will pour out when our team can get that last major performance and get over the line. Remaining humble but optimistic to finally finish the job. I can't wait John. I can only imagine how Celtics Nation and you feel. 🍀🍀🍀🍀 ALL DAY!!! Cheering as always from New Zealand 🇳🇿. 💍🏀🏆😊
Does "it's hard to sweep a team and close them out cause they are playing with their season on the line" apply when the flip side is "If you win this game, you are an NBA champion"?
one more that's all that matters - thank you Brad for putting this wondrful team together and thanks to all the players for putting stats away an being like Russel and Larry and only care about winning-for a lifelong celtic fan it means everything
Just wanna say I saw you crush it on channel 5 for the pre game! I was like, “ that’s my podcaster!!” 😂😂😂 looked sharp brotha! Bring the 🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹 out!!! ☘️☘️☘️☘️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Horford will most likely make the HoF not first ballet but I'm sure his jersey will get love. Boston and the Lakers soon will have their guys playing in letters because all the numbers will be retired
And maybe Minnesota bc of their size which really bothers Tatum and Brown. I always thought it was a joke how these bozo analysts were picking the Mavs bc they have the proverbial best player in the series. It's not 1v1. Boston is just a horrible matchup for the Mavs
@@LockedOnCeltics that's no fun, they attacked us before Game 1 even started. I'll do the trolling myself 😂 I appreciate the reply John. Let's go Celtics!
When the Mavs started to make the run the Celtics kept their composure. 👏 Past Celtics teams would’ve panicked if Smart was still there he would’ve tried to takeover and start bricking shots and we lose but we pushed all the right buttons and kept our composure and won in the end. Almost to the end of the tunnel 😊
It's been a long time since I can see a comeback from the opponent like that and feel supremely confident that we will pull it out. Probably since the IT era tbh and usually we were the opponent that was down and making the comeback. These guys are on another level right now, but they also have unlocked the secret sauce to closing out games. The achilles heel of the celtics no longer exists.
@@nickgilday8946 glad Smart is gone he would’ve tried to take over and be the hero when Mavs were crawling back into the game by playing stupid. But Jrue Holiday is and upgrade
@@nickgilday8946 Jayson Tatum said that Joe showed them videos of UFC fighters getting choked out to show how you can stay calm and fight back in those moments just going to show you how much Joe cares deep down
Beaten up these past couple years online for defending the Jays, the Celtics (they choke blah blah) and John.... Today feels SWEET! I ride or die with this team.
@@christophercastellano6359- I'm not sure. That's a very good question, however. If the Dallas Mavericks pull off the win, tomorrow night in Game 4 & force a Game 5 in "Bean-Town", you just might get your wish...
Brad Stevens is the Celtics MVP and there's no one close, and I'm a Mavs fan. But giving what our GM has done in just a year or so is miraculous. Give him a few years and look out.
jason tatum said in the postgame interview with chuck barkley... game 3 is his favorite, you get the opponents best punch... they enjoyed throttling the life out of their prey 😁
I’ve been on Mavs channels just talking crap!! 😂😂 they had no idea!! That’s the funny part, the world had no idea but Celtics fans knew we would win this! This is over man and I’m not the type to say it’s over before it’s not! Luka is cooked! 😂
it was obscene to hear national media say the Mavs were the more “battle tested” team. the entire Celtics team minus Porzingis had been to the Finals 2 years earlier!! clearly the more talented, more experienced, more “battle tested” team.
@@chokloconqueso8446yea it made no sense!’ “We beat the wolves and they beat the nuggets so we will crush the Celtics!” DOESNT work like that!!😂 all about match ups! And Celtics are a BAD match up for Luka! They had a whole episode called “will they switch on Luka”. Talking about how JB is not as good as Lou Dort on defense😂. Tatum is just a bad defender according to them, and white + Holiday are just too small. They said they’ll let them shoot too they won’t kill you like JB and JT 😂😂. I was like WOW!! You guys have no idea huh??😂😂
Gotta be JB at this point. Jrue is great but he's not primary on their best player, he's not a primary on offense either. He's absolute magic and I love him and we would NOT be in this position without him don't get me wrong. Makes huge plays... but his responsibilities aren't what Jaylens are and I think that tips the scales way to JB. Also just the overall stats point his way as do the "big moments".
We gotta win on Friday, I am so happy there is only one day between games right now. Sorry Al, but you'll be fine. You can rest when the Mavs are dead.
John, can you believe this? Since the rebuild: After 10 years of obsessing over draft picks, analyzing trades, gonzo injuries, and listening to HUNDREDS of locked on Celtics broadcasts, we are on the cusp of getting our reward. Un-be-freaking-lievable! You’ve been such an important part of this, the guy who broke down all those games and strategies. Wow.
Before game 1 John was discussing how to go up against luka. he was spot on with his strategy. The 🦝 squad attacked Karalis, but he was right all along!
I have been on this trust and faith bandwagon since this team was built with the Jrue signing. I have the utmost confidence that they will not make you go back to Dallas again John. I can’t wait for the change in narrative (locally) maybe the debate will be, are they better than 08, 86 from a statistical, defensive etc etc. but one more to go 🍀🍀🍀
So happy for him. I really hope they don't screw him out of the MVP if/when this is all done. JT will have plenty of time to shine as the "guy", this playoff run belongs to JB and let's celebrate that.
Since it's going to be very close in choosing the most valuable player in the NBA NBA Finals I would suggest that you give the award to Big Al because he deserves it for over the years what he's done for the Celtics
Unpopular opinion: Coach Mazulla put in Pritchard way too soon. Was a big reason why the 21 point lead dwindled down to 3. Luca was attacking him on offense. This isn’t a charity coach. Not in the NBA Finals.
Shout-out to Hauser, Tillman, Payton and the Stay Ready Group! Awesome job!!
Payton?
Cardio payton
I'm a big time Payton fan. Such emotions, guts and great last second buckets from a far.
P got cooked a lil by Luka butttttt. Loved their effort

Yes its not the same Celtics that always crumble in crunchtime

Let's close it out game 5 so we can win at home
JT MVP
18-2 LFG!!!!
Hey John!!! Yeeessss 1 win away!! ☘️🍀☘️🍀☘️🪴
1 MORE!!!!
Tillman- championship bruiser
Celtics nation!!!☘️☘️☘️
What a wild ride. Several “fans” went from not wanting to give Jaylen Brown his contract or trade Marcus Smart to loving this new team as it is.
One more win ☘️☘️☘️💪🏾
ECF nd Finals JB is a peak JB 💪
They’re gonna do it 😭😭
Let's go
It feels good to have JB as our leader
So happy for him. I really hope they don't screw him out of the MVP if/when this is all done. JT will have plenty of time to shine as the "guy", this playoff run belongs to JB and let's celebrate that.
@@nickgilday8946yeah especially after he was snubbed
Once the Celtics brought it back to 31-30, I felt the Celtics had a chance to win this game.
The Celtics starters should start for team USA and Brad should coach
Moneyball FINALLY comes to bball. Math ftw!
Since it's going to be very close in choosing the most valuable player in the NBA NBA Finals I would suggest that you give the award to Big Al because he deserves it for over the years what he's done for the Celtics
I'm always right
I really wish the Celtics would blow-out Dallas in game 4. Then let Porzingis play the last 30 seconds of the game to spite the Mavs fans.
Unpopular opinion: Coach Mazulla put in Pritchard way too soon. Was a big reason why the 21 point lead dwindled down to 3. Luca was attacking him on offense. This isn’t a charity coach. Not in the NBA Finals.
