The celtics have been one of the best, and undisputedly the most consistent teams for the past 6 years
Golden State Warriors too
@LloydSarcos-mj7hq, you're a year late in saying that. No consistent this year. Before that, milwaukee was looking like they were going to be the next big thing. NBA has got more interesting imo.
@@LloydSarcos-mj7hq Not really. They missed both 2020 and 2021 season. And they missed this season too
I hate to be in the spot where I defend the Celtics, but to their credit with a 64 win team and their cornerstone entering their prime years with plenty of playoff experience, I don't think the run would have been that different even if their opponents were at full health.
Miami Heat
Actual quote from Joel Embiid himself: "- It's not a rivalry, they kick our ass every time!"
He hasn't come out of the second round a single time. Often loosing to the....Celtics.
The 86-87 Lakers' finals run will never be topped in terms of being easy.
This
Porzingis injured too.
Apparently that doesn't matter :)
You can only beat the opponent put in front of you. It would hardly be the first time a team has had an easy finals run.
No one has ever had a situation where their opponent's star player missed multiple games each series. I dare you to name me one.
You can't
@@Fei-vm8xw 2021 Suns. AD missed time. Jamal Murray(not the best player but still) missed time. Kawhi Leonard.
@@And.One.Hoops1 No, but I would argue the Lakers bubble run was just as easy:
PORTLAND - Dame and Zach Collins injured during series.
HOUSTON - Westbrick. And no big man.
DENVER - Only there because the Clippers choked.
MIAMI - Key players injured by game two.
i don't think a team has had a easier finals run than the 2023-24 boston celtics
The only thing that could've made it any easier would be if the Bulls had beat Miami in the Play-in. Bulls would've been swept by Boston instead of going 4-1 vs Miami
True
Right... BTW
warriors with Klay, Steph, Drey, KD went 16-1. Stack veteran All Stars with past championship experience run through the league. IMO that was a true definition of easy finals speed run.
Aside from Holiday, who on the current Celtics have championship experience❓🤔
“Metchups”
Any team with an easy path is typically due to two reasons: one of the best if not the best team and your opponents injured players. You compete against who is in front of you. Sometimes life happens and hands you a bad day and sometimes life hands you an easy path through the playoffs. No one said an NBA championship was guaranteed. The FINALS won't be a cakewalk
The finals were a cake walk by an newly developing Mavs team who seen actual hell on their way to the finals while Tatum got to literally skip
6:15 That's the most unspoken thing about the Celtics's run: they have not faced any BAD teams, just UNHEALTHY teams. All of their actual/potential opponents won between 46 and 50 games (the Knicks being the only 50-win team from that bunch), which is good for the conference they play in (spare me "if they were in the West" hypotheticals). They all could've won more games than they did if certain things had gone smoother for them during the regular season. The Celtics also have an injured key player (Porzingis)-not as important as some of their conference opponents, but still important to them. On top of that, the Celtics have a ton of playoff experience on their side (Tatum, Brown, Horford, Holiday, White, Porzingis, Tillman, Pritchard), so it's not like they haven't gone through tough situations in the postseason. It seems like the only way they will truly win this year, in terms of respect, is by winning the championship-in the eyes of their doubters, haters, and critics, at least. If they don't, their run will be questioned and ridiculed because of things out of their control, which is ridiculous. Considering the Mavericks are their impending opponent, that may be their unfair, yet harsh reality.
Even the 73-9 Warriors had some struggles. They nearly lose to OKC before coming back 3-1 before they blow a 3-1 to the Cavs
4:28 metchups lol
Boston has won more games this year than any other team, they should have made the playoffs look easy. Back in the eighties the west was soft, from 80 to 90 only two teams won the west Lakers and Rockets twice, the Lakers wouldn't lose a game until the conference finals the west was so weak back then that below 500 teams went to the playoffs in the west, hey chances go round, so Boston had it easy this year , but back in the day the Lakers had a cakewalk for 10 years straight.
2007 Cavs also had it easy to the finals with only Detroit as a relatively good team (but without Ben Wallace anymore).
The league needs to add 4 teams. Seattle, Vegas, and Vancouver out West. Pittsburgh in the East plus move Memphis over there since it makes sense geographically. I think that would help by slightly adjusting the strength of the conferences.
What makes you think Pittsburgh would make a good city with their low attendance?
@@Fei-vm8xw they do really well with NFL and NHL, plus when the team is good they do well with MLB. It’s a sports city. I picture them being called like the Pittsburgh mayhem and their logo is a black and gold raccoon or something.
That would just further dilute the talent. That could help but i doubt it
@@malcolmhodnett8874 I think there is more talent now than ever before. More teams have been needed for a long time.
BUDDY!! That... was a heck of a video!! Excellent breakdowns, you even had visual aids!! Lol, fantastic work, my brother!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Appreciate it my man!
I'll agree that things played out in their favor, but despite some close calls they didn't have any real let downs this postseason. They've done their jobs.
Now the Finals against Dallas... That's gonna be the true evaluation.
I got DAL in 6
If they go 4-0 or 4-1 against Dallas in the championship what can we infer?
Homie, the Nuggets faced 2 play in teams
You can only beat what's put in front of you
Problem with the Celtics is you can't build a better team than that and they have had a history of failing to get over the hump
metchup
Pacers beat the Mavs twice this season, scoring 268 points on them over two matches. This video is disrespect to the Pacers
Cavs beat the Mavs twice this season as well
People gonna start saying tha Usain bolt was easy for him to run the world record,
….umm no
That's one of the worst comparisons you could've made lmao
Huh?
Great regular season followed by a lackluster post season for the East and West.
To be fair the Celtics have also been missing Porzingus, albeit not to much but still, I would say one thing about the Pacers specifically, and really just how Tyrese was the difference. Without him the Pacers are still a solid team, with him running the offense they go to an entirely different level. And Pascal is no joke, he played really well in these playoffs and really helped the Pacers overcome the sum of their parts at times. It might be true this was an easy finals run, but it was already going to be that way regardless is the funny thing. I know it’s not supposed to always be about discrediting Boston but it seriously feels like that’s all people want to do. This is what was expected of them from the beginning, did anybody seriously think someone OTHER than the Celtics was winning the east this year? The answer to anyone with a right mind is no
Let me also add, let’s talk about the Bucks for a second. They started the season off pretty well,(until, ya know, Doc Rivers)but think about how Boston was always clearly a step ahead of Milwaukee all regular season, and when it came time to play the Pacers, it was almost ironic, because now they have Dame, who is a great player, but the holes in the perimeter defense from losing Jrue proved to be Milwaukees biggest weakness. Even though the Pacers also have a Swiss cheese for defense, Indiana just had a historically effective and pace heavy offense and did it well all year. Rick Carlisle, Hali, and the Pacers as a whole organization deserve some credit for how well their season went, and this is all coming from a Celtics fan, and I honestly wish Tyrese could’ve stayed healthy, as well as the rest of the stars that dropped this postseason, Brunson, Jimmy, Mitchell, etc. but as a fan I’m definitely ecstatic about this run through the east. Dallas will without a doubt be the biggest challenge.
You play the cards that you are dealt. Period
You forgot the suns 🤣
That was the easiest hospital playoff run ever
CELTICS LOONEY TOON A$$ RUN
SERIES INJURY’S
Celtics round 1 vs heat: Injured Jimmy Butler (Star) and 20 PPG terry rozier,
Celtics round 2 vs Cavs: Injured Mitchell (Star) and Jarrett Allen 16/10 per game and Levert
ECF vs Pacers: The only reason the pacers were there was because of the bucks (Giannis and Dame injuries) and Knicks (Chibs coaching and Randel, Bogdanovich Robison injuries) Also if OG didn’t get injured early game 7 Knicks are winning against pacers, Losing against Celtics from injuries still
as a lakers fan, i cant help but feel bad for the celtics. they only lost 16 games this year, 18 if you count the playoffs, and yet those losses are all anyone talks about when it comes to them. they did what they were supposed to do and made it back to the finals, only for everyone to criticize how easy of a road it has been thus far. Now it's like theyre damned either way: either they beat the mavs and no one cares cause their path was too easy, or they lose and prove how fraudulent of a team they were all season. they literally cant win. just sucks to have done everything right and be bashed for something out of their control; its not their fault that other people keep getting injured.
that being said, i've been rooting for luka and the mavericks ever since the lakers lost to the nuggets. mavs in 6; luka gets a ring before tatum and kyrie sticks it to boston to complete his redemption arc.
What exactly does Kyrie need redemption for? He has shown poor judgment on his part in many ways, but he has never done anything to really need redemption.
@@urbaindelva7869 idk i just keep seeing the "redemption arc" buzzword pop up. it's as if no one likes him ever since he left the cavs and because of his viewpoints on certain things like covid. ive always liked him tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ never my favorite player, but he tends to leave all the words aside and just hoop, at least since coming to dallas.
@@ghostflame9211 If anyone needs redemption, its the Celtics. From failing to reach finals last year to the blantant slander and disrespect by the fans and media
But why is that the Boston Celtics fault? You play the teams in front of you. Boston didn’t pick the winners of the other EC series. Every NBA Finals run has injuries or suspension. It seems like you put an asterisk on every NBA Championship
It’s not their fault. I even said so in the video
@@And.One.Hoops1 No, but the video title and thumbnail implies it. Pretty hacky, if you ask me
I mean, it’s not my fault you jumped to conclusions and didn’t watch the video
@@And.One.Hoops1 I watched it. You got my clicks and engagement. You did your job!
Uh huh
Good video. But. What about the cavs in 2017. East was terrible. Only 1 team took a game off them. The celtics won a game. They were without their only offensive threat for basically the entire series. Thomas was out, and never played at a high level again. Having beat a better team, wizards, in the semis. Took a game off yhe cavs with marcus smart the best player on the team.
At least the pacers have siakim.
CORRECT!!!!
Celtics did what they were supposed to do
Like dude said you read title , ifCeltics don’t win I actually feel bad for them
eeeer ..
Im sure the 80s Lakers had easier runs
Bro u literally left off the greatest post season run in history the 2001 lakers that swept they way to the finals which the nba actually fined them for and made them lose money, only to lose only 1 game to 76ers..get video but u slipped
But that wasn't an easy run to the finals for the Lakers. This is just looking at the easiest runs to the finals relative to their opponent, not who was the most dominant
After 10 minutes I still don’t see your point. Celtics had an easy run to the finals, so what…
Confirmed that it was the easiest run…a topic everyone when’s been talking about
@@And.One.Hoops1 it’s low hanging fruit at this point brother. Just like the tired Mickey Mouse bubble ring narrative for Bron. And this is coming from a Bron hater
I disagree the Lebron Cavs teams had easier runs to the Finals. They should end the east vs west
Second!
Ummmm...you spelled 'matchup' like one would spell 'ketchup'...twice...smh
That was my editor
@@And.One.Hoops1 "you're fired" 🤣
Who cares about the celtics, who ever wins in the other co frence is winning the chip.
Maybe these soft players who got hurt should work on their conditioning?
One of the easier routes to the finals in Boston vs. One of the harder routes in Mavs by taking out 4,1,3 seeds at mostly full strength (.. Kawhi)
What could Boston do about that? Wait for the other teams to get healthy? Change locales in the middle of the playoffs so they could face tougher competition? They beat whoever was in front of them to get to where they wanted to go. They still had to go out there, play the games, and win. They did that. Bottom line.
@@urbaindelva7869 LIsten brother, I really tried to write the most vanilla comments as possible that had more to do with the intrigue of a prospective finals than anything else. So, I will make it simpler, the team that should win (in the Boston Celtics) vs. the team who beat everybody that shouldn't have.
@@ThePenitentSquirrelAll right. I missed that from what you said. My fault.
The Celtics sure had easy metchups LOL also Embiid sucks in the playoffs
Yet he is ranked above Tatum. Every year.
I didn’t. The NBA is dead
It’s as popular as ever
Celtikkks losing to the Mavs
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Celtics lose in the finals partially because of this
