because these people lie and dont actually watch the games, they just spit and regurgitate popular narratives that others make to get a like and a following
This is one of the craziest caps I've ever seen in video format. Jaylen Brown literally had poster dunks in like each of the first 30 games of the season, and because he had corny Dunk Contest ideas he "mostly does layups?" They just had some of the most exciting comeback wins in a series (nearly identical to the Mavs), and they are boring because nobody is screaming at the camera cursing..? Boston is just the most hated franchise in the league, because they are so good every year, if you're not a Boston fan you just don't want to see them win anymore. So when they DO win, we look for a way to discredit it... and when they don't win, we look for the best way to make fun of them because they are expected to win every game by 20 points. But as far as I'm concerned, there's not a single thing that's boring about a team who has made it to the finals only losing 20 games the entire year with (at least) 2 all stars in their lineup. Not to mention they have been missing one of their best players for almost the entire playoffs.
Im pretty big Boston hater (always loved Brown tho), and Ive thoroughly enjoyed watching them this postseason, more than I have enjoyed watching any team in years aside from Heat last year they play like a team, they play hard defense, and they dont do no hero ball BS
Boring? I wouldn't say boring, id say stagnant at times because they cant make a damn layup. Maybe even frustrating when derrick white, al Horford, and Jrue holiday are banging 3 after 3 and you have tatum and brown on whatever you're doing lmao. And then Hauser comes in and starts nailing them and before you know it, up 20, smooth sailing. Then they talk about tatum tatum tatum but he's so underwhelming MOST of the time and then you realize "ahh that's why he never gets MVP"
It's the same narrative as the Denver last year. They will brand it as a lazy team coz you're so dominant during the playoffs. People, Media wants drama, wants underdogs, wants rollercoasters.
Idk... whoever finds Jokic's passing boring, I cant take seriously. And yeah, they didnt face a truely great team, but Edwards was putting on a show, then they played against Booker/Durant, then Lebron/AD... every last one played every game against them. And so did Butler in the Finals. Can you name the best player the Celtics faced for an entire series so far? Bam? Mobley? Siakam? Thats true box office...
Honestly the Celtics were exciting this series. come from behind wins, Clutch shots, great brown dunks, awesome game winning steal, incredible blocks. I think a lot of people just don’t watch the Celtics or just show the fullest moments of them but I definitely had fun watching them against the pacers when it was close. When they’re beating everyone by 20 it’s understandable that it won’t be as exciting but it’s not their fault they’ve been so great.
Main reason is cause the east is Dreadful with almost no player who will be remembered a decade from now (not even the constantly injured Embid and after last two years everyone is even forgetting about Giiannis)
They are a very good team, but they never give you the impression of being a historically great team. Personally, I expect them to choke at the first sign of a real challenge... as it happened so many times in the past. I stopped caring for them after the East Finals last year when they had a chance to become first team to win after trailing 3:0 and they lost by like 30 points at home. It is like the epitome of missed opportunity.
well yea they had a chance and then tatum hurt his ankle the first minute and the previous years their 3rd best player was Marcus smart. now its porzingis or jrue holiday which is a massive improvement

I could never find myself this year watching a Eastern Conference playoff game. The Western Conference is so much more interesting and exciting to watch. The Celtics haven’t had a real competition and the Mavs are a great one for them. I said at the beginning of the playoffs, “Whoever wins the Western Conference, wins the NBA Finals.”
Been like that for years. The east gets mostly mid level picks, and their top stars, are just out of place with no help. The west drafts good, and have the best fan bases, no one cares for the east teama but their fans.
Fraud clippers. Team full of children in the 2nd, clearly not playoff ready yet. And now the wolves with KAT and Edwards not playing their best. Also barely beating them. 3pts, 1pt and then 9 when Luka and Kyrie have 66 between them and the rest of the team 16-24 from the field. That’s SHOULD have been a blowout with that efficiency from the rest of the Mavs.
are you kidding me 💀💀💀 they have 2 players that made all defense, have an entire roster full of above average defenders, and were the second best defense in the league 💀 you have no idea what you’re talking about 😭
@@ssjraikage7874 I can name many other teams that play better defense than the Celtics. Just because they have a couple of players on a defensive LIST doesn't mean they are playing good defense in the playoffs! I have more of an Idea than you my friend ;)
@@GokuuuGT please do, i’d love to hear who you think is above boston. the celtics have the #1 ranked defensive rating in the entire playoffs, 2 players that made the all defensive team and an entire starting five of positive defenders. facts > feelings.
Watching the Mavs and Wolves. Scrambling Every other play trying to get score. Is exciting. But it’s also a tell tale sign that these two teams are evenly matched . That being said that means every bucket is a result of a hard fought scheme drawn on the coaches grease board or the result of a player making a phenomenal shot after a busted play. From all the players landing on their asses from almost every play I would say it’s the later not the former. But when you watch the Celtics not at 100% put up a 12 zero run on the Cavs they are boring.? No that’s not boring. What that is listening to your coach and perfect execution . Now. The Celtics tied game 1. With Cav.s with seconds to force an overtime. Smoked the Cavs in game 2. Overcome an 18 point deficit and then beat then stop the Cavs from scoring the last 3 minutes to come from and beat them in game 4 for the sweep. That’s not boring that’s methodical. Now as for Brown not wanting to injure himself in some unnecessary situation with absolutely nothing to gain but every thing to lose . That is what you call a team player. He gave up his bragging rights to stay healthy and play the game . Not sitting his ass on the bench with a busted clavicle or season ending knee injury. When this Celtics finally hang the Teams long awaited 18th Championship banner in the rafters of the Garden. Nobody will call Brown or Tatum boring . They will call them champions.
If this was weakest east you’ve ever seen then you ain’t been watching nba long,every single year the cavs went to the finals the east was way weaker,Boston was only team to even give them trouble back then.
@@mezzb Nah. Not even close. Raptors got Kawhi for Rozan and got to the Finals and won. That was a good team. LeBron was just the best player ever from 2012-2020.. .that's all
@Goo_FYLoC Yeah, but that's still stupid. The West was somewhat tough in 2017, but the Warriors had the best roster ever (with 90's Bulls, 80's Lakers/Celtics)... Ok, the 2007 east was bad... but LeBron plalyed with EVEN WORSE THAN THAT teammates. So? What's the point?
Imagine being the best example possible as a parent for a child. No drama, works hard, respectful, loves the game, loves his team and team mates, plays for the team to win, to get the team to the finals and get that ring and banner. Because at the end of the day, being able to call yourself a champion is what is important.
This finals series really is a flashy superstar led team vs a team executing a consistent, well thought out, game plan. Its just the Cavs vs the Spurs in 2007. Clearly there is a better team and unfortunately for casual fans its the boring team of great players playing great.
glad to see someone else sees Spurs in this Celtics team I usually dislike them, them and Lakers are my least favourite teams, but this season Ive been actually greatly enjoying their games because they play like a team, where anyone can go off if needed on certain night, they have their 2 main guys, but they can take the backseat if neccessary
They are only the best in the east cause the east is a cake walk, I don't even considered them the best team in the nba it's only a record and this finals will help me determine if they are the best or not, cause lately the celtics fall apart every year
I got bored watching you explain how the Celtics are boring. Its that bad. Fortunately, if they win, Jaylen and Jayson are not the types that would talk about it for a decade.
I understand your first few points, but c’mon man…Drive Kick-out pass around shoot a 3? That was literally Golden State’s offense for a little over 4 years. Nobody says anything about that. 🤷🏿♂️
Always thought it was bs that the Celtics got to Jaylen Brown on a max, then picked up 2 more all-star caliber players in zigaspigas and holiday. League should have said no.
Brown is the first to sign the new kind of contract the NBA introduced. Many more players after will sing much bigger contracts. KP and Smart were gained after we sacrificed beloved players time lord, smart and more. Bucks fault they gave up jrue like he was nothing, and the wizards didn’t feel like they needed KP, despite having his best season
@LouieOcean. Weird to just assume that. Also name one time lebron has teamed up with 2 top ten players? Bosh and Love were never top 10 😆. Baseless comment.
In my opinion, the only reason the Celtics SEEM boring is because of the awful coverage by the sports media, not just mainstream, but even the online commentators. They all seem to ignore the Celtics despite being one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Online commentators tend to ignore all the good things that the Celtics do, and just show their worst sides without talking about their incredible run all the way to the NBA finals. Do better, then maybe they won't seem so boring.
Yeah, I agree, no flashiness at all. Specially not off the court. But the team played the most beautifull team basketball probably ever in 2014. That was poetry in motion.
Whats crazy about the spurs is that they were all foreign players. I wonder if that was why they always had the worst finals ratings. They were a great team though.
When you play an injured Jimmy Butler Heat team, a team without Donovan Mitchell in 2/5 of of the games and no Jarrett Allen, and a Pacers team without Tyrese Halliburton for half of the series and just majority of them are inexperienced, you get a boring 12-2 record to the NBA finals. Celtics vs Mavs (probably) or Timberwolves (somehow) would be fun. Also as a Celtics fan, I finally understand why I like the Spurs so much.
6:30 I would imagine the reason Brown dunks like this is because he injured himself trying to one-hand dunk toward the beginning of his career. I remember it being a pretty scary fall.
Yall accually glazing bro there good and @hoopreports your just mad the golden state warriors aren’t in the positions that you want it to be so don’t say they play bad you litterly glaze the hell out of boston celtics and golden state warriors aren’t that good so don’t be mad lil bro
not because they are boring, butbecause they have been the same team basically since 2018 and have fallen short each time.at this point, if they dont win the title, just break the team already.
Most dominant teams and athletes are boring, example: Prime San Antonio Spurs, The Bulls and their boring triangle offence, Floyd Mayweather, Novak Djokovic, Manchester City and even in motorsports, Verstappen used to be “exciting” but now he’s boring because he’s so dominant. Consistency and sticking to the game plan win championships not flashy and fancy plays
I thought im the only one that bored with the Celtics too, they have a good set of a players but, I just don't know why they are boring , Thank God you Explained it,
Stamina will be a factor in this dal-bos finals.. Bos having a structured play means theyll be boring but theyll surely have stamina till end game.. Dal, though exciting, need more initiation from Luka and Kyrie.. if they dont get tired, good for dal.. if tired, could be trouble.. But im for dal in 6.. as ive mentioned in other comments, who wins west, wins finals..
injuries are apart of the game, it isnt the celtics’s fault that they are having a “cake walk” run, makes no sense why people are hating on boston ? genuinely since i am a celtics fan but what do others see that a celtics fan does not ?
It’s crazy I agree. Almost like the rockets with CP3 and Harden. Appreciate the warriors making it into the video even though we didn’t survive the play-in.
Their opponents have been boring due to all the injuries. At no point did anyone expect the other team to win the series. The WC has been much more competitive
The East would be fun if half of the important players didn’t get injured, 76s vs Knicks was fun, Celtics got to the final without a real challenge, people keep saying they didn’t have Porzingis but that doesn’t hurt them that much compared to what the other teams dealt with
What's actually weird about it is that they play just like the Spurs, except with more 3-point shooting. The only way that a team like that can actually get their love is consistent dominance, but they haven't up until this point so might as well win and make everyone hate you
Compared to other team they are boring but I disagree I think they are entertaining and you just mad the warriors lost early now I can’t say much though because I’m a bulls fan but still. RIP Bill Walton
The reason that they are boring is because they really look like a 2k roster where somebody used all the exploits to get ridiculous trades happen. They have Tatum and Brown, fine, those are their players. They have Horford, he's an old reliable dude, they got him on a decent contract on his off year, fine.They got Derrick White while he was catching fire for a relatively low asking price, fine. But, the KP and Jrue trades both felt like they had cheat codes available and Portland and Washington were fighting over who gets fleeced more. So, they ended up with two homemade go-to guys as the 1st and 2nd options, traded for another 2nd option level guy (KP), and another 2nd-3rd option guy after his AS level year (Jrue). And they have solid starters in White and Horford. And still somehow have a decent 7th-10th options which no team would turn down, and not washed ring chasers on vet minimums.
Jason Tatum is just an humble and peaceful guy. He still hasn’t won a title, it’s ok sometimes not to feel a ‘superstar’. At least he’s not a clown like others who plays the ‘cocky and though guy’, are over praised by the community/the media and then choke in the semifinals or in the finals. Also Boston game is maybe ‘boring’, but it’s safe. Not dunking any play at least grants longevity (well yeah, dunks are cool but injures-risky and dangerous for the dunkers and the ones defending). No flashy and impossible last second circus shots grant consistency during offense. Teamwork avoids selfishness and creates more angles of attacks, and so on. Boston in general plays good basketball and we should appreciate it. It’s simple, it works and gives a spotlight to every player in the team, avoiding the narrative of 1 man (superstar)-show a lot of other NBA teams suffer.
The Franchise is storied enough that the actual team can be boring and be still talked about by everyone. This is not the small market San Antonio Spurs.
I don't know where the notion that NBA teams need to be entertaining came from. I assure you, as a Celtics fan, I'm constantly entertained by us winning all the time, no complaints from me:) And I'm sure all Celtics fans will agree with me. They entertain US, by WINNING. And that's all that matters.
It’s not that the Celtics had an easy path to the finals,it’s not because they’re just straight up boring to watch. Its not that they dominate and that’s the reason why their boring, no. It’s their play style that is unique to different teams. We normally see very exciting offenses in the nba because of how they run their offense. The Celtics run their offense at a slower pace than other nba teams which makes them seem like I very boring team to watch because we are used to fast offenses.
Because Tatum doesn't have a TV personality. But we can say the same for the Duncan and the Spurs when they were in top. And yes, winning can be ugly. Even guys like Kobe and MJ had to scale back their flashy moves as they age.
To quote the actual NBA website - "Boston's playoff opponents were often sapped by injury, but the Celtics still went 12-2 and reached the NBA Finals." Sooooo the opposition was weak, BUT the C's still went almost unbeaten?! How's that a news story? LOL
Do you feel the Celtics are boring?

Nobody cares, we'll keep winning and you keep watching your entertaining teams lose we cool with it 😂
@@starboiklem8381have fun losing in the finals.
@@PercAngle3 losinh in the finals 😂
This is one of the craziest caps I've ever seen in video format. Jaylen Brown literally had poster dunks in like each of the first 30 games of the season, and because he had corny Dunk Contest ideas he "mostly does layups?" They just had some of the most exciting comeback wins in a series (nearly identical to the Mavs), and they are boring because nobody is screaming at the camera cursing..? Boston is just the most hated franchise in the league, because they are so good every year, if you're not a Boston fan you just don't want to see them win anymore. So when they DO win, we look for a way to discredit it... and when they don't win, we look for the best way to make fun of them because they are expected to win every game by 20 points. But as far as I'm concerned, there's not a single thing that's boring about a team who has made it to the finals only losing 20 games the entire year with (at least) 2 all stars in their lineup. Not to mention they have been missing one of their best players for almost the entire playoffs.
ALL FACTS
Exactly
Jaylen brown has the best poster dunks the past few years easily
They hate on ja for being cocky and then hate on tatum for being humble…
Im pretty big Boston hater (always loved Brown tho), and Ive thoroughly enjoyed watching them this postseason, more than I have enjoyed watching any team in years aside from Heat last year
they play like a team, they play hard defense, and they dont do no hero ball BS
Boring? I wouldn't say boring, id say stagnant at times because they cant make a damn layup. Maybe even frustrating when derrick white, al Horford, and Jrue holiday are banging 3 after 3 and you have tatum and brown on whatever you're doing lmao. And then Hauser comes in and starts nailing them and before you know it, up 20, smooth sailing. Then they talk about tatum tatum tatum but he's so underwhelming MOST of the time and then you realize "ahh that's why he never gets MVP"
I had to look away during the dunk contest part
It's the same narrative as the Denver last year. They will brand it as a lazy team coz you're so dominant during the playoffs. People, Media wants drama, wants underdogs, wants rollercoasters.
Idk... whoever finds Jokic's passing boring, I cant take seriously.
And yeah, they didnt face a truely great team, but Edwards was putting on a show, then they played against Booker/Durant, then Lebron/AD... every last one played every game against them. And so did Butler in the Finals.
Can you name the best player the Celtics faced for an entire series so far?
Bam? Mobley? Siakam? Thats true box office...
@@Smido83Donnovan Mitchell....until he got hurt.
@@fcdraw Hence why I said "entire series"... 😉
They had a cakewalk to the finals
Honestly the Celtics were exciting this series. come from behind wins, Clutch shots, great brown dunks, awesome game winning steal, incredible blocks. I think a lot of people just don’t watch the Celtics or just show the fullest moments of them but I definitely had fun watching them against the pacers when it was close. When they’re beating everyone by 20 it’s understandable that it won’t be as exciting but it’s not their fault they’ve been so great.
I guess simple is best.😂
Main reason is cause the east is Dreadful with almost no player who will be remembered a decade from now (not even the constantly injured Embid and after last two years everyone is even forgetting about Giiannis)
no one is forgetting about giannis, just u buddy
giannis is top 15 oat, nobody forgeting him bru
@@ciisehassan9134yall not understanding
The Boston Celtics looks like a whole team of Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "The Big Fundamental Team "
They are a very good team, but they never give you the impression of being a historically great team. Personally, I expect them to choke at the first sign of a real challenge... as it happened so many times in the past. I stopped caring for them after the East Finals last year when they had a chance to become first team to win after trailing 3:0 and they lost by like 30 points at home. It is like the epitome of missed opportunity.
well yea they had a chance and then tatum hurt his ankle the first minute and the previous years their 3rd best player was Marcus smart. now its porzingis or jrue holiday which is a massive improvement
What are you going to say if they win? Or will you just delete your comment or even worse, stay silent because y’all that don’t like the Celtics can’t handle being wrong

2.its the celtics
3. its newer team so all oldheads dont want to put in quesiton their precious favourites from back in the day
4. people dont like Tatum
5. people only look at individual players and not entire teams as a whole and this team, while having 2 generational players, doesnt have a clear cut best man
6. they dont do no hero ball BS so casuals immediately dont see the greatness because it isnt MJ Kobe Lebron or someone along thos elines going against 3 guys and scoring

Tbf, the whole ass Eastern Conference is boring this year due to several injuries. No real competition.
The Knicks were fun to watch. But that’s about it
@@jonathangonzales4115that's the crazy part, the knicks still kept it competitive asf with their bench as starters basically, I think the knicks are the only team rn that can rival the celtics if their healthy, infact I can't wait for next season already
A healthy Knicks team would've destroyed the Celtics so bad... But Knicks are gonna Knicks forever
I could never find myself this year watching a Eastern Conference playoff game. The Western Conference is so much more interesting and exciting to watch. The Celtics haven’t had a real competition and the Mavs are a great one for them. I said at the beginning of the playoffs, “Whoever wins the Western Conference, wins the NBA Finals.”
To be fair, Knicks vs Pacers was amazing
I've been saying that same s*** since 1999
Been like that for years. The east gets mostly mid level picks, and their top stars, are just out of place with no help. The west drafts good, and have the best fan bases, no one cares for the east teama but their fans.
Fraud clippers. Team full of children in the 2nd, clearly not playoff ready yet. And now the wolves with KAT and Edwards not playing their best. Also barely beating them. 3pts, 1pt and then 9 when Luka and Kyrie have 66 between them and the rest of the team 16-24 from the field. That’s SHOULD have been a blowout with that efficiency from the rest of the Mavs.
@@radityapoerwanto70180% basketball, 100% run&gun. Amazing series! Who could wish more? Like in highschool

I think its gonna keep happening for the most part with a bunch of these teams. Most of the players today are boring.
Spurs were boring but Celtics dethroned them by a mile.
At least the Spurs have good ball movement and Manu Ginobili making flashy moves to entertain us from time to time.
All they do is shoot 3's and play no defense..... would rather watch grass grow, same colour 🤷♂️
😂 😂
No defence? They’re better at defence than another team in the playoffs 😂
are you kidding me 💀💀💀 they have 2 players that made all defense, have an entire roster full of above average defenders, and were the second best defense in the league 💀 you have no idea what you’re talking about 😭
@@ssjraikage7874 I can name many other teams that play better defense than the Celtics. Just because they have a couple of players on a defensive LIST doesn't mean they are playing good defense in the playoffs! I have more of an Idea than you my friend ;)
@@GokuuuGT please do, i’d love to hear who you think is above boston. the celtics have the #1 ranked defensive rating in the entire playoffs, 2 players that made the all defensive team and an entire starting five of positive defenders. facts > feelings.
Watching the Mavs and Wolves. Scrambling Every other play trying to get score. Is exciting. But it’s also a tell tale sign that these two teams are evenly matched . That being said that means every bucket is a result of a hard fought scheme drawn on the coaches grease board or the result of a player making a phenomenal shot after a busted play. From all the players landing on their asses from almost every play I would say it’s the later not the former.
But when you watch the Celtics not at 100% put up a 12 zero run on the Cavs they are boring.? No that’s not boring. What that is listening to your coach and perfect execution . Now. The Celtics tied game 1. With Cav.s with seconds to force an overtime. Smoked the Cavs in game 2. Overcome an 18 point deficit and then beat then stop the Cavs from scoring the last 3 minutes to come from and beat them in game 4 for the sweep. That’s not boring that’s methodical.
Now as for Brown not wanting to injure himself in some unnecessary situation with absolutely nothing to gain but every thing to lose . That is what you call a team player. He gave up his bragging rights to stay healthy and play the game . Not sitting his ass on the bench with a busted clavicle or season ending knee injury.
When this Celtics finally hang the Teams long awaited 18th Championship banner in the rafters of the Garden. Nobody will call Brown or Tatum boring . They will call them champions.
No one would call this team boring if it was their home team.

If this was weakest east you’ve ever seen then you ain’t been watching nba long,every single year the cavs went to the finals the east was way weaker,Boston was only team to even give them trouble back then.

The West was somewhat tough in 2017, but the Warriors had the best roster ever (with 90's Bulls, 80's Lakers/Celtics)...
Ok, the 2007 east was bad... but LeBron plalyed with EVEN WORSE THAN THAT teammates. So? What's the point?

“What they gon’ say now?” ☘️💚
Imagine being the best example possible as a parent for a child. No drama, works hard, respectful, loves the game, loves his team and team mates, plays for the team to win, to get the team to the finals and get that ring and banner. Because at the end of the day, being able to call yourself a champion is what is important.
This finals series really is a flashy superstar led team vs a team executing a consistent, well thought out, game plan. Its just the Cavs vs the Spurs in 2007. Clearly there is a better team and unfortunately for casual fans its the boring team of great players playing great.
glad to see someone else sees Spurs in this Celtics team
I usually dislike them, them and Lakers are my least favourite teams, but this season Ive been actually greatly enjoying their games because they play like a team, where anyone can go off if needed on certain night, they have their 2 main guys, but they can take the backseat if neccessary
Did I just see a longtime Warriors fan ask why the best team in the NBA is boring? Bruh.
They are only the best in the east cause the east is a cake walk, I don't even considered them the best team in the nba it's only a record and this finals will help me determine if they are the best or not, cause lately the celtics fall apart every year
@@swezzy5782the celtics went 24-6 against the west this year
You bet on Dallas and lost, aren't you? LMAO man uploaded 11 min rant of saltiness
I got bored watching you explain how the Celtics are boring. Its that bad. Fortunately, if they win, Jaylen and Jayson are not the types that would talk about it for a decade.
I understand your first few points, but c’mon man…Drive Kick-out pass around shoot a 3? That was literally Golden State’s offense for a little over 4 years. Nobody says anything about that. 🤷🏿♂️
Always thought it was bs that the Celtics got to Jaylen Brown on a max, then picked up 2 more all-star caliber players in zigaspigas and holiday. League should have said no.
Brown is the first to sign the new kind of contract the NBA introduced. Many more players after will sing much bigger contracts. KP and Smart were gained after we sacrificed beloved players time lord, smart and more. Bucks fault they gave up jrue like he was nothing, and the wizards didn’t feel like they needed KP, despite having his best season
But yet you love it when LeBron teams up with 2 other top 10 players lol
@LouieOcean. Weird to just assume that. Also name one time lebron has teamed up with 2 top ten players? Bosh and Love were never top 10 😆. Baseless comment.
But it's ok if the wariors in 2017 get KD and form the greatest team ever
jrue Holiday aint' no all star. And injuries have nothing to do with the Celtics level.

Wdym by youre skipping? Its literally over buddy
@@AT-dp6rg💀
@@AT-dp6rg That makes it worse. They didn't even know it happened lol
In my opinion, the only reason the Celtics SEEM boring is because of the awful coverage by the sports media, not just mainstream, but even the online commentators. They all seem to ignore the Celtics despite being one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Online commentators tend to ignore all the good things that the Celtics do, and just show their worst sides without talking about their incredible run all the way to the NBA finals. Do better, then maybe they won't seem so boring.
fuckin thank you
Ok the spurs dynasty was the boringest teams
Yeah, I agree, no flashiness at all. Specially not off the court.
But the team played the most beautifull team basketball probably ever in 2014.
That was poetry in motion.
You would have to be an actual hater to say that. That team didn't play exciting basketball it played beautiful basketball.
Whats crazy about the spurs is that they were all foreign players. I wonder if that was why they always had the worst finals ratings. They were a great team though.
@@yeah-rb6kz saying sumthing is boring is hating? Lol no1 said they were bad we just said they were boring and the ratings clearly proved it.
Brown all star dunk should be in the shaqtin a fool hall of fame
Ong bro Kai fe at when he sat in that chair he was attest 3 feet
Sorry we’re trying to win not make highlights
When you play an injured Jimmy Butler Heat team, a team without Donovan Mitchell in 2/5 of of the games and no Jarrett Allen, and a Pacers team without Tyrese Halliburton for half of the series and just majority of them are inexperienced, you get a boring 12-2 record to the NBA finals. Celtics vs Mavs (probably) or Timberwolves (somehow) would be fun. Also as a Celtics fan, I finally understand why I like the Spurs so much.
Yeah, because having a flashy dunk gives you extra points...
Finally someone realizes
6:30 I would imagine the reason Brown dunks like this is because he injured himself trying to one-hand dunk toward the beginning of his career. I remember it being a pretty scary fall.
Yall accually glazing bro there good and @hoopreports your just mad the golden state warriors aren’t in the positions that you want it to be so don’t say they play bad you litterly glaze the hell out of boston celtics and golden state warriors aren’t that good so don’t be mad lil bro
not because they are boring, butbecause they have been the same team basically since 2018 and have fallen short each time.at this point, if they dont win the title, just break the team already.
It’s almost like they’ve been injured all the time since 2018 bozo
You live under a rock? This years team is literally completely different from the past few years. We broke up the team last season
I aint a celtics fan but bro is just hating atp 💀
Most dominant teams and athletes are boring, example: Prime San Antonio Spurs, The Bulls and their boring triangle offence, Floyd Mayweather, Novak Djokovic, Manchester City and even in motorsports, Verstappen used to be “exciting” but now he’s boring because he’s so
dominant. Consistency and sticking to the game plan win championships not flashy and fancy plays
Verstappen isn't boring atm as he is back to not having a crazy advantage in car.
@@frankdobs , well, i kinda like “Mad” Max.😀
Hey Hoop I have a quick question. Who do you think is winning the NBA championship? Celtics or Mavericks
I thought im the only one that bored with the Celtics too, they have a good set of a players but, I just don't know why they are boring , Thank God you Explained it,
I am European, but as a team, who gives a fuck how we play, we only care about wins
6:30 Do you want winning basketball or flashy basketball I dont understand.
Yes the Celtics are a extremely boring team but they also play in a very boring city as well in Boston. A boring team for a boring city, very fitting
The kawhi laughs had me dying 😂
6:39 reminds me of jimmy from south park when he says "come on" lol
Because Tatum actually said “I got you Kobe.”
3:35 the rest of the quote “a jack of all trades is a master of none, though is often better than a master of one”
I forgot Brown jumped over a sitting Kai Cenet. He is the best streamer but man is like 5 foot
"And there's one thing I promise you. Watching this video will be more entertaining than watching a Celtics game." 💀
Stamina will be a factor in this dal-bos finals..
Bos having a structured play means theyll be boring but theyll surely have stamina till end game..
Dal, though exciting, need more initiation from Luka and Kyrie.. if they dont get tired, good for dal.. if tired, could be trouble..
But im for dal in 6.. as ive mentioned in other comments, who wins west, wins finals..
Hearing La Cumparsita at the background is funnier than the topic itself.
injuries are apart of the game, it isnt the celtics’s fault that they are having a “cake walk” run, makes no sense why people are hating on boston ? genuinely since i am a celtics fan but what do others see that a celtics fan does not ?
It’s crazy I agree. Almost like the rockets with CP3 and Harden.
Appreciate the warriors making it into the video even though we didn’t survive the play-in.
Their opponents have been boring due to all the injuries. At no point did anyone expect the other team to win the series. The WC has been much more competitive
The East would be fun if half of the important players didn’t get injured, 76s vs Knicks was fun, Celtics got to the final without a real challenge, people keep saying they didn’t have Porzingis but that doesn’t hurt them that much compared to what the other teams dealt with
What's actually weird about it is that they play just like the Spurs, except with more 3-point shooting. The only way that a team like that can actually get their love is consistent dominance, but they haven't up until this point so might as well win and make everyone hate you
The NBA is boring in general
Leaves out all the exciting parts of their season so far
What’s the music around 7 minutes ?
Compared to other team they are boring but I disagree I think they are entertaining and you just mad the warriors lost early now I can’t say much though because I’m a bulls fan but still.
RIP Bill Walton
Homie said JB is also boring when he puts up a poster every other game, right as rain. Also, who watches the All Star game?
The reason that they are boring is because they really look like a 2k roster where somebody used all the exploits to get ridiculous trades happen. They have Tatum and Brown, fine, those are their players. They have Horford, he's an old reliable dude, they got him on a decent contract on his off year, fine.They got Derrick White while he was catching fire for a relatively low asking price, fine. But, the KP and Jrue trades both felt like they had cheat codes available and Portland and Washington were fighting over who gets fleeced more. So, they ended up with two homemade go-to guys as the 1st and 2nd options, traded for another 2nd option level guy (KP), and another 2nd-3rd option guy after his AS level year (Jrue). And they have solid starters in White and Horford. And still somehow have a decent 7th-10th options which no team would turn down, and not washed ring chasers on vet minimums.
shit, 64 wins, and 12-2 in the playoffs ain’t boring, but while you guys get “entertained” by your teams, we’ll be busy winning 😉☘️

🏀 To me the most entertaining NBA Champions was The Golden State Warriors when they went back to back with KD on the team 🏀🥳🎉🎊🎈
They're not boring. it's just that we hate the Celtics and won't admit it and we don't even know why at this point. They're a great team
Jason Tatum is just an humble and peaceful guy. He still hasn’t won a title, it’s ok sometimes not to feel a ‘superstar’. At least he’s not a clown like others who plays the ‘cocky and though guy’, are over praised by the community/the media and then choke in the semifinals or in the finals.
Also Boston game is maybe ‘boring’, but it’s safe. Not dunking any play at least grants longevity (well yeah, dunks are cool but injures-risky and dangerous for the dunkers and the ones defending). No flashy and impossible last second circus shots grant consistency during offense. Teamwork avoids selfishness and creates more angles of attacks, and so on. Boston in general plays good basketball and we should appreciate it. It’s simple, it works and gives a spotlight to every player in the team, avoiding the narrative of 1 man (superstar)-show a lot of other NBA teams suffer.
As a Celtics fan, i just want my team to win. ☘️
Yall said the SAME THING about SPURS or DENVER
There's competition in the west, the east has always been boring.
Bro its just who has more aura or whatever tf that means. Just win the chip. Actions speak louder than words
Everyone calling Tatum boring but never calling out guys like Durant and jokic is wild haha
As a Celtics fan, this season I missed the games won by defense, when the C's couldn't buy a bucket in the 3rd quarter.
All G, they are going up against one of the NBAs most exciting teams to watch next week. And the Mavs are gonna eat em
Did u not see brown baptize nesmith and turner? Or those three crunch time wins?
The Franchise is storied enough that the actual team can be boring and be still talked about by everyone. This is not the small market San Antonio Spurs.
I don't know where the notion that NBA teams need to be entertaining came from.
I assure you, as a Celtics fan, I'm constantly entertained by us winning all the time, no complaints from me:)
And I'm sure all Celtics fans will agree with me.
They entertain US, by WINNING. And that's all that matters.
BORING dominant regular season, playoffs ? & BLOW OUT game vs. Dallas game 1 in Finals tonight 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
It’s not that the Celtics had an easy path to the finals,it’s not because they’re just straight up boring to watch. Its not that they dominate and that’s the reason why their boring, no. It’s their play style that is unique to different teams. We normally see very exciting offenses in the nba because of how they run their offense. The Celtics run their offense at a slower pace than other nba teams which makes them seem like I very boring team to watch because we are used to fast offenses.
Same in football in EPL Man City a system team that keeps on winning and going on streaks, its considered boring.
Because Tatum doesn't have a TV personality. But we can say the same for the Duncan and the Spurs when they were in top. And yes, winning can be ugly. Even guys like Kobe and MJ had to scale back their flashy moves as they age.
To quote the actual NBA website - "Boston's playoff opponents were often sapped by injury, but the Celtics still went 12-2 and reached the NBA Finals." Sooooo the opposition was weak, BUT the C's still went almost unbeaten?! How's that a news story? LOL
