We’ve NEVER Seen This Before…

- The Boston Celtics started the season looking NOTHING like a contender - winning just 2 of their 1st 7 games - despite a really weak schedule to begin the year.
Their struggles continued through the rest of 2021, and by late December they were 3 games under .500… they were an uninspiring, underwhelming, kinda gross to watch team… and that was what we came to expect from them over the past few years. This was a franchise that had been the very definition of average for years… and continued that by winning just 16 of their first 35 games this season.
And now, a few months later…
They’re basically the 1 or 2 seed in the East.

I apologize for being off schedule lately, but I think the extra time I put in shows in this video. Hope you enjoy!
So, im gonna ask this. Does having the 10th toughest schedule play a roll into it? Because that may be a huge factor. Also the top 4 in the conference being within a game or two of each other, and the EAST being competitive in general...that's how the Celtics got to first. The guys up top facing fierce and better competition compared to the Celtics.
Never mind that man, you did one hell of a explanation & no wonder why your timing to release the video felt like that because of how hard you put the work in these videos. Great job man!!
Now, the Celtic’s were the under dog’s the name, the franchise, the team…& the list goes on & on. Where we are I believe will be just the start considering those move’s we made as well as adding our new head coach and it’s all now coming together before our eye’s. So where does this take us….this take’s us beyond expectation’s right now we see Jaylen Brown & Jayson Tatum AVERAGE 63-65 PPG. With that being said we can expect team’s making decision’s to close them out but it’s not that simple when our bench can come together even without them & bring title contending teams to OT. ( Watching What They Did To Toronto ). Will we see the Time Lord return YES & will we need him YES. We are more that grateful to have him & we can never count him out if we are talking about Taking the Chip this season. Only time will tell & time has a lot to tell coming soon. Thank’s for the insight hope this brought attention to some mean’s necessary. #sportinglogically #bleedgreen #celtics
Def shows Tucker. You put the time, effort, and research Into this video. One of my favorite videos from you. Keep up the good work.
Celtics made moves to get rid of those liability players. Schroder was a ball hog, Richardson was inconsistent even tho he did alright, enes kanter forgets to play the modern game of basketball, and Langford has no offensive skill sets. Add in Derrick white and Daniel theis, both versatile defensively and have great offensive iq, the Celtics are complete. And I like how u put our Cavs as examples. We traded disgruntled Dion waiters, Lou Amundsen (who is still in the nba somehow), and Alex who Kirk for jr smith (3 point shooter) and iman shumpert (defensive identity). Mid season trades are really important to every team struggling early.
@@harposhi ratio
that Jaylen Brown "The energy is about to shift" tweet is iconic i love it so much
The thing is that he wasn't talking about the Celtics but the timing couldn't have been better
if we win the ring that tweet will get framed on my wall lolll
They just got healthy. I been telling people all year long. The defense was there, the offense just wasn’t clicking.
@@Mr.Sax. what was he talking about then
@@Jay-tx2wz I don't know, Jaylen is a very spiritual guy he's into a ton of stuff of that kind.
I have always been a C's fan but it was so hard to watch them earlier this season. They really turned it around and have been electric to watch in the second half of the season
Lol I refused to watch bc we all knew that there was no reason for them to be that bad 😂😂
One of my best friends had the same problem as a C's fan. I kept telling him "it'll turn around. Just be happy you're not me, a Lakers fan" 🥲.
Same, I had to stop watching them so my 3 year old son doesnt hear the cursing :)
Ya especially the last 4 minutes of every game was like slow torture.. If they managed to hold a team of and win I felt like I won the lottery because no lead was safe. What a turn around.
Same here, even bet on Dubs nation.... And they are so interesting to watch
I am here after the Celtics made it to the Finals and I must say, this has got to be one of the best takes I have seen in a while. Purely based on relevant stats and nothing conflated or even remotely made up. Beats the crap out of most "expert takes" you see in television.
TH-cam personality takes are usually way more grounded than media flip flop takes cause they're not trying really hard to farm views
I have never seen a brand new NBA coach be good in their first 40 or so games. I think a huge part of this is Ima Udoka's experience and maturing as a coach
Pelicans rookie coach willie green is great as well
Uhm, Steve Kerr had the biggest gain in wins from the previous year for a new coach and won a title in his first year of coaching?
You're trying to tell me you didn't watch a single golden state game 2014/15?😮😮
@@tribalypredisposed that title was built by Mark Jackson tho Steve Kerr is a good coach, but Jackson laid the blueprint. Kinda like when Jon Gruden won a Super Bowl after Tony Dungy left
@@asanitheafrofuturist lol, you guys never give up on crediting the guy who failed. Mark Jackson was going to win a title never with the predictable offense he ran. Steve Kerr brought in an entirely new system, one that Draymond and others say takes a lot of time to fully grasp which is why some players never really work out and why it takes time for rookies to get minutes. Kerr's new way of playing changed how the entire league plays basketball, ending the day of the big power forward and center who camp out near the basket. Jackson had Draymond coming off the bench, and Iggy was starting, and Curry wasn't running all over the place...
Yeah, Mark Jackson got the four main players in place, not sure if he gets credit there or if the front office made the draft and trade decisions. If anyone who has an NBA team thought for a second that Mark Jackson could have taken the Warriors to five Finals and three championships like Kerr did, Jackson would have had another job coaching a long time ago.
I think Jayson Tatum opening up about the teams short comings earlier this year and admitted his own flaws helped the chemistry with the team. Right after he did that, the team took it to a whole another level
Shifted into third gear is accurate because theyre still extremely mediocre and third is right in the middle of a 7 speed 💀
@@tharbeapancake Why so mad my friend. Are you a lakers fan and now your salty because they missed the playoffs?
@@clutchjs122 ive been a lakers hater since day one boy
@@clutchjs122 im not even mad lmao i was making a car joke dont take everything so serious
@@tharbeapancake you're not lying.. also the video's projection doesn't take into account, them losing their center "time lord".. also, you shift gears in a manual transmission. and I can't think of too many "7 speed" autos on the road.. 6 speed is infinitely more common. just saying...
watching this after the Cs won game 1 of the finals
Same
Same, lakers fan here and I got the celtics to win it all
Once Tatum heard from league executives and coaches (in Zach Lowe’s article) that he was all about himself, he did whatever he could to change that image of himself. Kudos to Brad and Ime for sticking with their vision and not prematurely blowing up the team.
Regarding the "Missing on first round picks for years" I also have a list:
2020: Pritchard
2019: Grant Williams
2018: Robert Williams
2017: Tatum
2016: Brown
2015: Rozier
2014: Smart
Langford, Yabusele, Nesmith all look really questionable
@@franjes9999 So you expect a team to hit a home run on every draft pick? Langford is constantly injured, nothing you can do about that, Nesmith is in his second year so still has time. Yabusele is the only one that is just awful.
You are talking about a team that is top tier and has 8 players in their rotation that are homegrown.
There in the finals facing Golden State now, I hope they win in 6 games.
All us Celtics fans were so confused in the beginning of the season. The struggle will benefit there post season.
I am just now seeing this video. I remember the sports commentators not even mentioning the Celtics as the team to get to the ECF. It was always about the Heat, Milwaukee, and Nets are the teams to beat. Look at us now!!
Went through them all
great video. im a sixers fan but i can't help but be happy for tatum and the celtics this season. i wrote them off after they choked that game to the knicks a couple months back and lost. i thought how can u come back from that. but they have! i have never seen a team have such a dramatic mid season turnaround as the C's this season. from 10th to 2nd currently is just insane!!!!!!!!
Love the extra effort you’ve been putting into your videos, I can really tell and it really pays off. Nice job tucker :)
Finals here we come
Now they in the Finals
now they are going to the finals
Imagine getting recommended this halfway thru the NBA Finals.
As of the day of the first game of the NBA finals, this video has aged well.
Being a modern celtics fan I’m used to disappointment but for once this modernized defensive guru that is ime udoka gave me a reason to love my team again
Celtics 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ime Udoka deserves so much credit for this. First year as head coach and we’re in the finals for the first time in over a decade
This video is amazing. Everything is on point. This is the best vid out there about the Celtics turnaround. I've seen plenty of them, I follow my Celtics each and every day and this is so accurate.
We're one game away from making the finals !!
Watching this video while the NBA finals are going on is pretty epic lmao
I remember telling myself I won't watch another game unless they're over .500 lol
And now they are going to the NBA Finals. Crazy!
And now they’re three games away from a tittle. Just a wild turnaround.
if they win the title it'll be the most impressive turnaround of all time
This aged well. Let’s go Celtics!
this aged well… they are 1 win away from the finals!
4 wins from a chip!
2 wins from the chip!
@@FoldinFear and now no wins from a chip but maybe Celtics in 8
@@GD1_3 and now no wins from a chip but maybe Celtics in 8
@@sky3down367 did you think of that all by yourself your so clever. Arrogance is ugly so maybe it just suits you well. I got better things to do.
Ime Udoka is having a top 5 rookie coaching job all time. I think Nick Nurse winning a ring as a rookie coach is #1 but the job Ime is doing turning things around is incredible. If Stevens were the coach and Ainge gm, the team would be the smallest in the league with Smart making up defensively for some 5'10 PG and Rob Williams bench warming instead of DPoY convo sitting at or below .500 with a high likelihood of Jaylen Brown already traded or traded this offseason.
Great video!
The crunch time problem looks much better! Effort aids confidence.
A first-year head coach - and top assistant - directly off the Popovich coaching tree. It was just a matter of time.
I Juuust came across this video!!! You freaking genius! Now they're coming on the ECF CHAMPIONSHIP!
A minute into this video and all I got to say as a Celtics fan is don’t you dare ever talk about trading Marcus Smart… EVER. He’s the defensive heart of the team and will be a Celtic til he retires
Here's the only problem with this: Who has been their consistent defensive anchor during this stretch? The Time Wizard himself, Robert Williams III. He's out for an extended period, and he will likely miss at least a few playoff games. They need him healthy. Otherwise, you have to give big minutes to Al Horford, which would be fine. If this was 2016-2018. He's well into his thirties now, and won't have the same impact as he did in his first stint in Boston if forced to start multiple series. I pray for his health, because defensively, he is a wonder to watch. However, how Boston deals without him will say a lot in my opinion.
He’s coming back the second round maybe even sooner cause his rehab is going good
@@collynellis4076 Good news. Good news that the Celtics need.
Don't sleep on daniel theis. Hes a high energy player. I'm not saying hes gonna replace the time lord but at least we have a decent back up.
Don't discount the Green Kornet
@@anthonymerino4689 Luke? Please don't make me laugh.
Watching this as the Celtics are up 2-1 in the finals 😁
watching while the celtics in cancun
Great video man, liked & subbed
great editing
We were riddled with injury’s in the beginning of the season, that’s a big part of the second half of the season shift.
We also lost time lord , rob Williams. Really concerned about that , :(
HERE'S KEEPING IT 💯...
These young black kids needed a black coach that is not only GREAT at what he does but can communicate with these kids and gain their trust!!!
Good that they bring Daniel Theis back to the Celtics
man just caught a subscibe great video my man
Video aged so well
easily ur best video essay, well said!
Celtics at finals now😳
i like to go back to early 2021 celtics tweets and look at the despair lol. Would love to get that banner up this year!
Yeaa. I had them as my Dark horse for the finals (since no one actually had them winning it all). But if Rob Williams III ain’t 100% that’s a 1st or 2bd rd exit. Celtics doing better because they finally got what they’ve needed for the last 5+ years , a dominant, defensive minded big man that really only cares about rebounds and defense. If they don’t have him, then they’re just the Celtics of the past
not as good but not the celtics of the past bro cmon
what are you talking about.. the celtics have consistently shown that they can still play incredible without rob since his injury.. idk why people think the #2 celtic’s are going to lose to the #7 nets.. it’s clear to see the celtics are the stronger team
This is a great video. Less ESPN narratives and more real basketball talk
NOW THEY IN THE FINALS ☘️
Yeah the C's fans on my livestream were on a burn it to the ground flex in December lol
Great production!
It’s so funny, the C’s fans love the game so much, it made most of physically ill to watch those first 35 games… So glad they straighten it out and got healthy… if RWIII comes back decent, the league is gonna have a problem.
Losing Robert Williams is a bad blow. They are contenders with him healthy. They are still dark horse contenders without him IMO
I agree, i still see them winning in the first round of the playoffs without Williams. Sadly, I don't see the Celtics making it past the ECF without Williams being healthy. Tearing your meniscus is not to be taken lightly, and it could effect him mentally. I've been through three different meniscus tears and two ACL tears. Everyone is different, but it effected me physically and mentally. I would second guess everything, and that it self would get me injured again...
I didn’t even realize I tore my meniscus when I did. (It was just some lingering knee pain that I tossed up to arthritis as it’s common in my family at a young age) I ended up playing my entire season on the torn meniscus until I went to the doctor after and found out that I tore it. My surgery and pt allowed me to get back to playing within 4-5 weeks. If his surgery went as well as it’s being reported then I hope for the Celtics sake (and my sanity) he can come back within that timeframe.
Great VIDEO
watching this from the future as celtics are up 2-1 in the finals against the warriors. lets go Cs
Further into the future here...4-2 warriors
3:00 When were the Lakers 28-7 & the Clippers 24-11 in 21-22?
You got my subscription. Good content!
Well said!
stl kid leading the team🐐
Loved this Go Celtics
Finals time
The Celtics literally were just unhealthy and not fully comfortable with the new system because of an entirley new coach and coaching staff, and had players that werent fitting with the true defensive scheme. It makes sense but people will like to blow ish out of proportion early on
on Ime:
Added Budenholzer, who is currently the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks: “One of the toughest, smartest, strongest players that I have been around. Nobody could move him or really mess with him at all. He’s just got this quiet - everybody just knew - there was a great toughness … behind that.
-ref Andscape
Brad Stevens deserves A LOT of credit for the margins moves he's made. Of course ainge built the core, but his depth moves always underwhelmed. Not his fault totally, players have to perform, but he did aquire said failures. I think Stevens having coached the team gave him an excellent perspective to what the team really needed. And he got them under, or close to under, the cap I believe.
Once Time Lord went down, there chances pretty much went out the window imo.
It took Ime Udoka a few months to break the bad habits and overall softness that Brad Stevens let fester I've the years. Tatum doesn't complain to the refs after every shot and the team isn't completely faking apart under the slightest pressure anymore. They are actually a likable team and not one where you are screaming to stop complaining and get back on defense.
Make a vid about the Mavs. Id love to know ur opinions on them and how they turned around the season just like the Celtics
The Mavs have always done this, and adding Spencer dinwiddie took Luka to a new level
Great video. very insightful and definitely not something I had paid attention to.
I still got Raptors fans saying they're better than Boston smh
Ya, as a Raptor's fan, it's maddening tbh. The Raptors are absolutely killing it this season and it's nice to see them be ahead of schedule from what most people were expecting of them, but they're just on a different timeline than Boston is right now. A "really good" playoff outing for Toronto this year is making it to the second round; Boston's on track to potentially win the entire thing.
@@awsomeishchild exactly dude. If I was a raptors fan I'd be ecstatic about the future but not expecting a championship this year. You guys are just a year or two behind our schedule roster wise
@@mattfig2924 Could not agree more. Good luck this year
96-97 Suns started the season 0-12, but after trading for Jason Kidd on December 28th 1996, they went on to make the playoffs. That 96-97 Suns team is still the only team in NBA history to have a double-digit losing streak and still make the playoffs, they're also the only team to ever have both a double-digit losing streak and a double-digit winning streak in the same season.
Now there are in the finals
Everyone knew that they would make it
This video has aged well.
I lost my job and started watching them play that's why they won. 2022 chip.
Jayson Tatum is on another level this season
Now they're in the finals
Celtics +950 to win the ship 👀
Here we are with the Celtics in the finals lol #s don’t lie!
and look where we are today!
jup, I'm jumping on this bandwagon. Next stop the Finals.
I think they'll take the Suns to 6 games but ultimately lose. Maybe that will give Tatum the motivation for that next step up.
All those numbers. At the end of the day, you need to win by ONE POINT.
Easily your point on crunch time reps is true, and it was put to test in their first playoff game, hopefully they click next time this happens.
You did Brad dirty with that pic lol
we are on a roll!
Sporting Logically what’s your favorite team?
The Nets!
@@SportingLogically nice mines the Cavs 👍
That's just what happens when a team bothers to play defense. Unlike 90% of the league
Don’t forget Al Horford’s influence
That’s crazy they’re only 2 games back from the first seed
100%
Finally a video about the C's 💚☘️
I counter the addition by subtraction they started this run when they had shooder
I guess that some idiot was brilliant!!! 🤦♂️ I said same thing so guess I’m an idiot too even when they were doing bad I knew they needed something but they still had a chance didn’t seem like JT or JB weren’t buying in which isn’t a surprise with a new coach things take time
As a Celtics fan, I’m optimistic, but we Cannot do this without Robert Williams. We have great players everywhere, but without rob running the rim and contesting shots in the paint, we’re not going to be able to play with someone like Milwaukee, or even Miami
and now they in the EC finals. i got them in 6
Simple answer: the energy shifted
Thanks
It was Marcus Smarts interview 🤷🏽♂️
What’s with the shade on Sacramento man:/ we’ve been terrible for years you don’t gotta rub it in man:/
I don’t get it….. they had one of the best defenses all year, they lost a lot of games they shouldn’t have, but everyone saying they gave up on them speaks to the fact that nobody knows what hard work and the results from it anymore. The whole time they told us they’ll be fine and any jabber about turmoil brewing in Boston was strictly from the outside of the organization. You are supposed to call someone out, it’s the quickest way to really see who you’re dealing and what you’re dealing with so a real solution can be had. On top of that you had a brand new coach!!! Not only in the since of new to the team BUT NEW TO HEAD COACHING!!!! Everyone wants their cake but can’t accept the time it takes to bake the actual batter!!! I Hope you all feel stupid. And whoever deemed this team dead in the water without The TimeLord is just as stupid! There’s just no belief anymore and the Boston fanbase was a big disappointment and failed the adversity test with flying colors.
BOSTON SWEEPS🍀
