Brad Stevens found his true place as a GM. We all know what happened with Ime and Joe got the keys, all funded by Wyc. A true testament to an organization, who collected the right people for the right time.
The fact that they were three wins away from 60 and then acquired an all-star and all nba caliber player *in the same off-season* should be investigated. The Bucks are stupid.
The day after they traded for holiday.... Really it's smart, I used to work at a magazine and a newspaper and they have obituaries written for famous people decades in advance. I've already read Noam Chomsky and Peter gammon's obituaries.
Yeah he learned from one of the best, danny ainge. Pretty sure brooklyn is regretting its moves a decade ago cause celtics since drafting brown and tatum has been winning a lot excluding multiple championships...
@@theetruth8626 I mean on paper Bucks were favored over Celtics to win championship when they made Dame trade, If not then was close. & on paper Bucks is stacked however if we get an inconsistent Dame+Khris then it will be wraps! Also this bucks team should fear Miami more than Celtics just saying.. 😂
They did have the easiest road to the finals in nba history, plus.. Their whole championship is kinda underwhelming and not that impressive. And im not even hating
Somehow everybody forgets that if the Celtics had ONLY played Western Conf teams, they were on pace for a 63-19 win season. Literally 1 win less than their actual standings
This is the problem, we always tend to minimize the winning team just because the underdog team lost. Injuries are part of playoffs. Can we maybe just for one look at it in a different perspective? There's a reason why the other team is also healthy and why they won. Yeah, Celtics path was a little easier but still they delivered. The whole team just performed well. It's not a one man show.
Yeah. I’m not even a Celtics fan but I hope they don’t repeat, and really the only way they definitely won’t is if injuries happen but only if more than one guy on the Celtics couldn’t stay healthy after winning the finals. Not saying I want this to happen because that’s fucked up to wish upon a team, but I’ll just be happy if Boston fails to go back to back when everyone expects it to happen. If not that, then possibly they won’t have the same energy going back into the playoffs, or another team in the East could rise up to stop them (wanna say the Knicks but until they could fill in their center depth more by looking for a good player to fill that hole, then maybe, just maybe but I don’t know), or if that fails then a team in the west gonna have to stop them (Either OKC, Dallas, given they improved their rosters this offseason, or Minnesota or Denver if all are fully healthy and can make it out the west), but can’t know now when the season hasn’t started back up yet
Bringing Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday to Celtics made huge impact on the Team gameplan. JT and JB received now more space, the ball moving has become swift and the cross attacks through the paint ar absolutely devastating for the opponents. And now, even if Kristaps is out due to some injury or Jrue is having rest, the team continues to play this new gameplan and it works properly. This is the main impact what KP and JH have brought to the team. And the role players also are more motivated to lift up their efficiency. Now Celtics has not only the leading duo, they have multiple "leading duos" like "Cookies and Cream" for example.
Tatum about to get the bag and your right Tatum and Brown are still young and in their prime. As long as they are in the East they can continue to dominate and they could at least make the ECF in the East. Yeah Boston isn’t going anywhere as long as they avoid injuries this team is not going to be easy to beat
@i_fuze_hostages6 yes, they have 2 centers that can't put in alot of minutes, for different reasons. Al will be 39, and KP injury prone. They need to make a move to get a young center who can sub in some quality minutes.
Possible eastern conference rivals, Old Bucks, Kicks with 1 star, random Heat, Embid the choker and Young Pacers/Magic. The celtics are a pretty safe bet to make the next 5 finals.
Not only do I think repeating is basically impossible in the modern era, considering it’s the Celtics they aren’t gonna make the finals with Tatum again even once lmao. They got their one tho
@@zachpinkston4233in the last 3 years they’ve been to 2 finals and have been in the ECF multiple times going back like 5-6 years but now they aren’t going to go back again?

I think Al Horford is getting underrated in his importance to this core. There's a big hole at center moving forward with Kristaps injury issues and Al nearing retirement. Having a 5 that can shoot and defend like those guys can is tough to find and I think it is an integral part of the Celtics success.
Al will play another year. Tillman will get most of minutes during the regular season. Tillman can fill the void. No will can replace Al but tilman does a lot of the same things
The Celtics truly are the only team that can beat themselves. When they play their best, no team right now could compete. Maybe a healthy Nuggets team with a deep bench

As a Celtics fan, it’s unlikely, especially with how free agency and roster construction is different now compared to 25 years ago. We’ll see what happens 12 months from now. Until then, it’s time to enjoy this one.
Dot they have money to offer to D.White in an extension next year? How much do you think he's going to ask? Is his final year, if they do not get an agreement, could they trade him?
While the starters and Bench are still young and can still be consistent it will dwindle down after a year especially to KP, Al and Jrue. They should now invest on the growth of their young players like Walsh, Queta and Springer
As a C's fan, my biggest and most immediate concern is Al Horford. He might retire right now, and even if he doesn't, I don't think he's gonna still be around after the end of next season. If he's gone, suddenly we have a massive gap in our frontcourt depth, and I really can't think of a replacement with a similar profile. He's still a great defender, even out on the perimeter, and he spaces out the floor, just can't think of anyone similar out there that could be available, and even if such a player exists he surely won't come for cheap. Not to mention the huge loss in leadership, hustle, the little things you can't put in spreadsheets. But I'll enjoy the moment for now, even if we don't turn out to win multiple rings I'm happy we got at least one
Contracting masterclass by Brad Stevens on this stacked roster, they are getting to the finals again next year unless idk the Knicks gets outrageously locked in and healthy or something
There’s something about the team getting expensive: they have all their first rounders until 2029. Unlike other expensive teams, they didn’t give up a lot of picks to get their star players. They groomed theirs. The moment rotations guys get too expensive, they will just replace them with younger and cheaper ones so they can pay the top 3 guys. You are locked for at least 3 more years with this core while they are all in their prime. That’s basically what happened with the Warriors after their first title.
As a Cs fan, I'm glad we got that banner 18 🍀🍀🍀. Next year comes the real challenge, not just cause repeating is difficult. But because I don't expect Denver to choke in the playoffs the way that they did this year. Even after the trades the Knicks made for Bridges, I don't see them or any other team in the East beating us anyways. The only team that is a cause for concern for the Celtics in my opinion is still Denver in the Finals. 😬
I disagree with the "weakness of the east" tbh, celtics should have a lot of competition next season. Healthy knicks looked like the second best team in the east, embiid looked like the runaway best player in the league, and Dame and Giannis even looked like they were getting better... If teams are healthy the east looks real scary next season
It would be crucial for Boston to find a high quality successor to Holiday. That person must essentially be a clone of him skill wise. His defense, leadership, and ability to score when the opportunity presents itself is key.
@@stevedem76 I think they’ve got another championship in them but with the new cba rules you can’t really construct dynasties like you used to be able to
@@stevedem76 I think they’ve got another championship in them but with the new cba rules you can’t really construct dynasties like you used to be able to
Danny ainge set this team up for so much success. They have actually kind of underperformed over the years compared to the talent they had and the expectations of that teams legacy.
Stop with the "easy path". Boston was up 2-1 on Cle and 2-0 on Indiana before they had guys get injured. And the assumption that "Miami would have beat Boston with Butler", when Boston added Jrue Holiday from the last time they played Miami in the playoffs, is absurd. This Boston team was COMPLETELY different than the one that lost to Miami in 2022-2023. That year, Boston relied on Marcus Smart/Grant Williams. Think about that for a moment. Marcus Smart was looked as a "defensive guru", when his last year in Boston, his defensive efficiency ranked him 8th on his own team and his offense was erratic. Let's be honest, every time Smart launched a 3 pointer, we all threw up in our mouths a little. This entire sentiment that "Marcus" was the heart and soul, was complete garbage. It was simply our way of excusing off lack of ability, the same way people call slower white guys on defense (football) "high motor". White/Jrue is lightyears ahead of the duo of Smart/White. Not to mention that Joe had a full offseason to fully implement his system. No Celtic player nor Celt Fans should apologize for Boston's "path" to the title. That sentiment is media filled bullshit. The same shit when they told you "Mavs in 6".
@@Deafkn1ght Dont comment on what I said, if you cant take the 60 seconds to read what I said. That's like giving your opinion on a restaurant, without eating at that restaurant. No shit it's a "loaded ass team". The fact they are loaded makes this talk that they had an "easy path" sound even more ignorant. They would have steamrolled anyone. They obliterated Dallas, which was the cream of what was this supposed "Beast" Western Conference. Youre just buying into the same media hype the media feeds you, just like the same hype that had them saying "Mavs in 6". Let me guess...this 60 second read is to much for you too?
@@jameswinslow8540 Smart was 8th on his team in defensive efficiency his last year in Boston. People do not realize this. Smart was actually a defensive liability for Boston last year...but he won defensive player of the year, the year prior, so I get why people think he was still great...but he took a massive step back defensively from 2022 to 2023. Jrue was a MASSIVE upgrade defensively over Smart.
This off-season is really the perfect time to extend Tatum and White. The new 2025 media deal is going to significantly increase the salary cap over the next few years. So JB and JT's contracts won't even look that bad a few years from now. Also, the Celtics still have all their 1st round picks except 28 and 29...
No it's not there's no big salary jump like 2016...and if they extend Tatum and white they will lose all their draft picks as they will be over the second apron
T:27 Every championship team has had a long term core thing: Jokic/Murray/Gordon, Steph/Klay/Green were still talking Dynasty, Giannis/Middleton. For the past 3-4 years, people have been saying break up the duo. Now they're long-term?
NBA not having a true cap is not fair to small market teams Teams can get whoever they want and the Billionaire owners can just shrug- reach in their pockets and pay the Luxury Tax- Who allowed this to happen??
Celtics are contenders since 2017 until probably the end of this decade or even a bit later. Salaries are an issue, but the salary cap is going to jump. Their challenge will be to find replacements to big Al when he retires (they will make him an assistant or something if they're smart and he's willing). And to manage to get the complementary pieces when they're over the cap. Having said that, nothing promises they're even making the finals next year. We're 5 years in a row that the champ doesn't make it to the CF. It's a competitive league, and a couple of injuries can make a big differences.
Just last season the East had the 3 best records in the NBA. The east isnt weak. It was simply a down year, in large part due to injury, and off the court stuff.
The problem for the Celtics is that if they sign Jayson Tatum on a big contract and if they sign Jrue Holdiay and they will get into the luxury tax and then they will only get to sign minimum contract if they get into the luxury tax .
Even to your point, you don't even have to trade the Jays if everyone gets a new contract. You would probably move on from holiday or white plus some role players. Hell, you'd probably move on from KP
The most glaring advantage Celtics have is the weakness of the Eastern conference... All these Goliath teams in the west tiring each other out for the entirety of the season and playoffs, then when one of then manages to get to the finals, they're beat-up af Some of these star players HAVE to move to the east to make it a more even playing field (eg. Paul George to 76ers)
Has nothing to do with the Celtics running through the east, the pacers were tougher than the mavs 100%. Win in 4 or 5 and you won't have this problem. If anything you might be able to cite injuries.. but alas it doesn't matter
Goliath teams in the west lol. You bought full into the media west meat riding. Who does the west have? The elderly grandpa super team with the clippers and warriors? The inexperienced group of teenagers in OKC? How about yet another failed KD super team? Lebrons grandpa ass? The no bench nuggets? The wolves with their awful offense who only have one real scorer who is a 22 ppg career player? Or no defense Dallas. Sick of the western conference meat riding
Clips were injured, Thunder were too young. Wolves were the only tough team Dallas faced until the Finals, which is why they lost so badly. See how media trash narratives work?😂
@@ErnieBert-eg8kd All you have to do is check the conferences' win percentage. This year, western conference teams had a total of 650 wins, while eastern conference teams had 580 wins... Furthermore, when going head-to-head, the west had a win percentage of 57.7% But ok lol I'm the emotional casual who's bought into the media narratives, and you're the intellectual who's using stats and logic. For sure that's it 😂😂
At the end of rhe playoffs, I still genuinely think the finals would have been more interesting if it was denver vs Boston. I think denver shouldn't change what their roster looks like and run it back. They just got unlucky with jamal being hurt. So hopefully a denver boston finals match up next season.
Denver is the best chance especially if they can make a good solid trade. Apparently they will try get Markanen from the Jazz for MPJ. That would make them a lot better.
You’re forgetting that jrue and horford are 50 years old each porzingis has injury issues and cap space to pay all these guys PP and hauser were also super important with their spacing and defense as well they will still have the J’s and white so they will be elite but the league as a whole right now is too talented for me to say they’ll repeat as champions especially when there’s teams like okc who have cap space and all the assets in the world and are 1 trade away from being a 70 win team or Dallas Denver NY Miami Milwaukee and Minnesota who are all still good teams that can make a big move and be in the finals the league right now is too good
I don't think any teams in the west, outside of Minnesota and Oklahoma would have stood a chance against the Celtics. They'd all die badly except those two. Ironically the Mavericks happened to have the one puzzle that no one out west can solve. Luka. In sports it's all about matchups, just cause I can beat you doesn't mean I can beat someone you can beat. Just my opinion
Let's be honest and I am from Boston. None of the players are "superstar", the team has 5 players having a calibre and skills to be the #2 player in a super team, or the best/dominate player in a medicore-to-bad team. I guess having 5 #2 players are how many you need to beat a "Big 3" team. Boston wasn't close to win a NBA championship when they only had 3.
dude nobody's worried about the celtics since outside this yr all they do is gag all over themselves and high chances they'll do it again nxt yr..... UNLESS ofc Jason actually starts playing like Kobe and stop pretending like he's Kobe....
New team, they ain’t like how they’ve been years prior. They proved that this post season and have the best stats and performances in years. Even if the injuries weren’t high they’d still steamroll through the east like they’ve been doing for the past couple years.
@@nicholaspark533 then choke and gag all over themselves like I said... we'll see nxt yr and i'm sure they'll repeat that same process against better teams..
Can't believe Jayson Tatum won his first title already at age 19! Young man has a bright future

You are locked for at least 3 more years with this core while they are all in their prime. That’s basically what happened with the Warriors after their first title.
Glad to be a Celtics fan
It seems like Porzingis has been in the league for 15 years. How is he still only 28?
As a Cs fan, I'm glad we got that banner 18 🍀🍀🍀. Next year comes the real challenge, not just cause repeating is difficult. But because I don't expect Denver to choke in the playoffs the way that they did this year.
Even after the trades the Knicks made for Bridges, I don't see them or any other team in the East beating us anyways. The only team that is a cause for concern for the Celtics in my opinion is still Denver in the Finals. 😬
I disagree with the "weakness of the east" tbh, celtics should have a lot of competition next season. Healthy knicks looked like the second best team in the east, embiid looked like the runaway best player in the league, and Dame and Giannis even looked like they were getting better... If teams are healthy the east looks real scary next season
It would be crucial for Boston to find a high quality successor to Holiday. That person must essentially be a clone of him skill wise. His defense, leadership, and ability to score when the opportunity presents itself is key.
I know who’s gonna stop this team, the cba
Thought of that as well
Too late, they already got the pieces in place to contend for years.
@@stevedem76 I think they’ve got another championship in them but with the new cba rules you can’t really construct dynasties like you used to be able to

Sir....the game isn't over. 5 mins left lol
24 points difference dude impossible to come back
@@felipeberlinck8541mavs suck ass. Kyrie was ABYSMAL.
The game been over since the jump
Danny ainge set this team up for so much success. They have actually kind of underperformed over the years compared to the talent they had and the expectations of that teams legacy.
legend has it, he made this after the celtics loss to golden state and predicted the denver nuggets title and loss to the timberwolves this year.
Offseason is crazy..teams realize 64 win team lost only 3 playoff games. You are not close
Don’t worry, money gone do its thing and break up this bullshit avengers 3 and D lineup.
Stop with the "easy path". Boston was up 2-1 on Cle and 2-0 on Indiana before they had guys get injured. And the assumption that "Miami would have beat Boston with Butler", when Boston added Jrue Holiday from the last time they played Miami in the playoffs, is absurd. This Boston team was COMPLETELY different than the one that lost to Miami in 2022-2023. That year, Boston relied on Marcus Smart/Grant Williams. Think about that for a moment. Marcus Smart was looked as a "defensive guru", when his last year in Boston, his defensive efficiency ranked him 8th on his own team and his offense was erratic. Let's be honest, every time Smart launched a 3 pointer, we all threw up in our mouths a little. This entire sentiment that "Marcus" was the heart and soul, was complete garbage. It was simply our way of excusing off lack of ability, the same way people call slower white guys on defense (football) "high motor". White/Jrue is lightyears ahead of the duo of Smart/White. Not to mention that Joe had a full offseason to fully implement his system.
No Celtic player nor Celt Fans should apologize for Boston's "path" to the title. That sentiment is media filled bullshit. The same shit when they told you "Mavs in 6".
Not reading all that. Y’all did have an easy path tho… and a loaded ass team where the stars don’t have to do shit… cmon mane
I agree marcus smart was a good soldier but jrue holiday is him defensively and a great offensive player.
@@Deafkn1ght Dont comment on what I said, if you cant take the 60 seconds to read what I said. That's like giving your opinion on a restaurant, without eating at that restaurant.
No shit it's a "loaded ass team". The fact they are loaded makes this talk that they had an "easy path" sound even more ignorant. They would have steamrolled anyone. They obliterated Dallas, which was the cream of what was this supposed "Beast" Western Conference.
Youre just buying into the same media hype the media feeds you, just like the same hype that had them saying "Mavs in 6". Let me guess...this 60 second read is to much for you too?
@@jameswinslow8540 Smart was 8th on his team in defensive efficiency his last year in Boston. People do not realize this. Smart was actually a defensive liability for Boston last year...but he won defensive player of the year, the year prior, so I get why people think he was still great...but he took a massive step back defensively from 2022 to 2023. Jrue was a MASSIVE upgrade defensively over Smart.
This off-season is really the perfect time to extend Tatum and White. The new 2025 media deal is going to significantly increase the salary cap over the next few years. So JB and JT's contracts won't even look that bad a few years from now.
Also, the Celtics still have all their 1st round picks except 28 and 29...
No it's not there's no big salary jump like 2016...and if they extend Tatum and white they will lose all their draft picks as they will be over the second apron
T:27 Every championship team has had a long term core thing: Jokic/Murray/Gordon, Steph/Klay/Green were still talking Dynasty, Giannis/Middleton. For the past 3-4 years, people have been saying break up the duo. Now they're long-term?
the joke is 19 not 21
Holiday is going to play at a high level for years. He doesn’t have to score anymore just defend
Could we now say the KG, Paul Pierce to the Nets is the worst trade of all time officially?
I believe in my Celtics and honestly I know others do to but this feel like this next game they winning like usual but hopefully I get tickets one day
Is anyone else not worried about Boston? There's just something there that feels like it'll fall off.
Luka Harden is not winning a championship.
NBA not having a true cap is not fair to small market teams
Teams can get whoever they want and the Billionaire owners can just shrug- reach in their pockets and pay the Luxury Tax- Who allowed this to happen??
Skill issue
Name one NBA owner that isn't a billionaire? They make the decision if they want to spend the money small or big market. They're all billionaires
This team will never win another championship again with this particular team. The salary cap won’t allow them to stay together
They already are signed together for a few years
That's not true. They are all under control for a while. But a massive luxury tax hit
That’s what you’re praying for but sorry everyone signed for at least 2 more years 😂. Nice try though
Celtics are contenders since 2017 until probably the end of this decade or even a bit later.
Salaries are an issue, but the salary cap is going to jump.
Their challenge will be to find replacements to big Al when he retires (they will make him an assistant or something if they're smart and he's willing).
And to manage to get the complementary pieces when they're over the cap.
Having said that, nothing promises they're even making the finals next year.
We're 5 years in a row that the champ doesn't make it to the CF.
It's a competitive league, and a couple of injuries can make a big differences.
Just last season the East had the 3 best records in the NBA. The east isnt weak. It was simply a down year, in large part due to injury, and off the court stuff.
The problem for the Celtics is that if they sign Jayson Tatum on a big contract and if they sign Jrue Holdiay and they will get into the luxury tax and then they will only get to sign minimum contract if they get into the luxury tax .
Jrue is already got his extension. KP did too.
Jayson and White are the only people who haven’t signed new money
Even to your point, you don't even have to trade the Jays if everyone gets a new contract. You would probably move on from holiday or white plus some role players. Hell, you'd probably move on from KP
The most glaring advantage Celtics have is the weakness of the Eastern conference... All these Goliath teams in the west tiring each other out for the entirety of the season and playoffs, then when one of then manages to get to the finals, they're beat-up af
Some of these star players HAVE to move to the east to make it a more even playing field (eg. Paul George to 76ers)
Has nothing to do with the Celtics running through the east, the pacers were tougher than the mavs 100%. Win in 4 or 5 and you won't have this problem. If anything you might be able to cite injuries.. but alas it doesn't matter
Goliath teams in the west lol. You bought full into the media west meat riding. Who does the west have? The elderly grandpa super team with the clippers and warriors? The inexperienced group of teenagers in OKC? How about yet another failed KD super team? Lebrons grandpa ass? The no bench nuggets? The wolves with their awful offense who only have one real scorer who is a 22 ppg career player? Or no defense Dallas. Sick of the western conference meat riding
@@ErnieBert-eg8kd, Facts, the casual side of the nba 😂
Clips were injured, Thunder were too young. Wolves were the only tough team Dallas faced until the Finals, which is why they lost so badly. See how media trash narratives work?😂
@@ErnieBert-eg8kd All you have to do is check the conferences' win percentage. This year, western conference teams had a total of 650 wins, while eastern conference teams had 580 wins... Furthermore, when going head-to-head, the west had a win percentage of 57.7%
But ok lol
I'm the emotional casual who's bought into the media narratives, and you're the intellectual who's using stats and logic. For sure that's it 😂😂
the boston celtics are the kansas city chiefs of basketball now
At the end of rhe playoffs, I still genuinely think the finals would have been more interesting if it was denver vs Boston. I think denver shouldn't change what their roster looks like and run it back. They just got unlucky with jamal being hurt. So hopefully a denver boston finals match up next season.
Its not rocket science, having those 2 seasoned really big guards is a problem for any team, nobody can really guard them.
0:51 who cares? Like who cares if we had an easy road in the finals? We deserved it guve credit where it's due.
Boston Celtics back-to-back champion 🏆 ?
It's crazy that Porzingis has more rings than Doncic.😂
This Celtics team gonna be around for the next 5-6 years
You said they were the best five-man unit in the game and forgot about the Denver Nuggets.
Al Horford is 39 next year, KP will likely be injured again, they don’t have anyone to stop Jokic or Embiid (if he can be fully healthy)
How does the Celtics front office prioritise Brown over Tatum? What is your evidence of that?
The main focus for the Celtics this offseason, I assume, is center depth and doing cap voodoo
Philly needs to make moves. Miami needs to make moves. Wemby might be our only hope
Denver is the best chance especially if they can make a good solid trade. Apparently they will try get Markanen from the Jazz for MPJ. That would make them a lot better.
Why would the jazz make that trade?
You’re forgetting that jrue and horford are 50 years old each porzingis has injury issues and cap space to pay all these guys PP and hauser were also super important with their spacing and defense as well they will still have the J’s and white so they will be elite but the league as a whole right now is too talented for me to say they’ll repeat as champions especially when there’s teams like okc who have cap space and all the assets in the world and are 1 trade away from being a 70 win team or Dallas Denver NY Miami Milwaukee and Minnesota who are all still good teams that can make a big move and be in the finals the league right now is too good
I wish Brad was still a coach
How did they know that kp would be injured less this season than smarr
They jack up stagnant shots when they're up 20-30, not very relevant to how good they are/aren't
I’m confused. Everyone last off season talked so much about the 2nd apron stuff but now the Celtics are just casually paying 4 guys 30+mill a year
I don't think any teams in the west, outside of Minnesota and Oklahoma would have stood a chance against the Celtics. They'd all die badly except those two.
Ironically the Mavericks happened to have the one puzzle that no one out west can solve. Luka.
In sports it's all about matchups, just cause I can beat you doesn't mean I can beat someone you can beat.
Just my opinion
Just make luka run his weight is his kryptonite
@@jameswinslow8540🤦♂️
🤔 oh ok then didn't make the finals
Once jimmy is healthy, he will return to father his children, the Boston Celtics
In your dreams ringless 35 year old😂🤡🫵🏼
There's still Denver, OKC, Twolves. Some team in the East may step up, but the Knicks probably ain't it.
If they bring marcus smart back after jrue retires 🤦♂️ it’s over
Celtics didn’t make conference finals last year so not fair to say that about the nuggets this year really
We are one of the best teams of all time.
Same arguements can be made for de Nuggets, the timberwolves, the Mavs, and even the Pacers
Let's be honest and I am from Boston. None of the players are "superstar", the team has 5 players having a calibre and skills to be the #2 player in a super team, or the best/dominate player in a medicore-to-bad team. I guess having 5 #2 players are how many you need to beat a "Big 3" team. Boston wasn't close to win a NBA championship when they only had 3.
Let’s see what happens with the Thunder next year, they have so much cap space and draft capital
dude nobody's worried about the celtics since outside this yr all they do is gag all over themselves and high chances they'll do it again nxt yr..... UNLESS ofc Jason actually starts playing like Kobe and stop pretending like he's Kobe....
New team, they ain’t like how they’ve been years prior. They proved that this post season and have the best stats and performances in years. Even if the injuries weren’t high they’d still steamroll through the east like they’ve been doing for the past couple years.
What a absolutely ignorant and @ss take
@@nicholaspark533 then choke and gag all over themselves like I said... we'll see nxt yr and i'm sure they'll repeat that same process against better teams..
@@billybadass3056Better teams??? 🤣💀
That's the same stuff y'all said before the season start, before the playoffs, before the Finals. 😂
