How Were The Boston Celtics Even Allowed To Do This.. | NBA Finals News (Jrue Holiday, White)

- Well, the Boston Celtics have now officially taken a 2-0 lead in the 2024 NBA Finals vs the Dallas Mavericks. And after what we just witnessed in game 2 of Celtics Mavs, many believe the Celtics should not have come away with the victory. However, they did. And undeniably the biggest reason as to why they now have a 2-0 lead heading to Dallas for Game 3, is solely because of their backcourt in both Jrue Holiday and Derrick White.
The Celtics offense revolved around both Jrue Holiday and Derrick White in this game. And with the complimentary help of Jayson Tatum from time to time, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, etc, Joe Mazzulla stuck to what was working in feeding the backcourt consistently, whether that was near the rim or on the perimeter.
Then there’s also the Celtics defense, which was phenomenal again starting with the duo of Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. And along with this, the help of Porzingis, Al Horford, JT, JB, and even Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard off the bench, the Celtics have held the Dallas Mavericks to under 100 points in both NBA Finals games thus far. And now, we’ll have to see if that trend continues in Game 3 of the NBA Finals Wednesday.

How many games is this NBA Finals going? 👇
4 or 5 games. Boston takes it
MAVS IN 7
I said Boston in 6, but it could be either a sweep or in 5 with the series being 2-0 in Boston's favor.
Tryna discuss who the best it’s no debatum I’m finna pass on Cryrie I’m Jason Tatum!
@@DiscoPhantom-bg5rndumbo
Jrue has no ego at all. Man's all mission, all about doing the job. Simply all you could ask for from a teammate. Same can be said with derrick.
Dude has me swooning.
Bucks fan here. I was sooooo sad to see him go. It is great to have someone to root for in the finals!
Guy won Bucks a chip and was traded for Lillard. Now, he's doing the same thing for Boston.
Jrue Finna get paidddd😂
Do what you are paid to do . This guys seem to just get it .
We as celtics fans are so lucky to have a squad as deep as this
Brad Stevens The Genius... Let's Go Celtics 🤜☘️☘️☘️🤛
No doubt, Two wins away from being the team of the decade, 4 conference finals apps more than any other team this decade, 2 finals apps tied with Miami, just need to add a ring to it
BANNER 18 BABY LETSSS GOOOO!!! 🍀🍀🍀
@@peytonlong5573so far. MLB and nhl doesn’t have a team of the 2020s due to the parody of different teams winning a championship. The nfl, definitely the chiefs no question about it. NBA? If the Celtics wins this year and 2 more nba finals and that’ll probably solidify them as the team of the 2020s.
I’m still in shock that we have Holliday and KP. It’s amazing
Jrue is honestly proving himself to be one of the smartest players in the NBA imo
No need to say “imo” we all know it’s facts
He already proved that
So much noise in those places. Jrue is the most aware of little things in his positional timing of any player. One of those little things is his awareness of his opponents tracking of him he is not only smart but a sneaky player.
Uncle Drew cant handle Uncle Jrue.
This comment is so underrated!!! 🤣🤣
lol nice
This comment is so good that it will be "stolen" many times.
@@Snoopydad I just stole it
Tatum is the only superstar in the league that when he's shooting badly turns into a playmaker for his team yet gets openly criticised for not shooting it more.
True, he has been an assist machine, Celtics don’t have greedy players they have players who want to win
I love JT as a Celtic fan, but his 31% shooting is a legit concern., he needs to shoot better and I believe he will
If Tatum had scored 50 he would have been criticized for not being a playmaker. This criticism of Tatum is getting ridiculous.
Donovan Mitchell also applies to that narrative
They did the same thing with kobe bryant too.
This isn’t your average nba finalist team. The core Celtics players have been building up to this for years. What’s no happened is great trades by Brad Stevens. He has built a team that will one this year and 2 or 3 more. Get used to Boston winning. Only injuries can help teams now.
They can't stay together that long. Tatum Max contract will force White elsewhere. Porzingus is only there for one more year. Jrue is there four years, including this one. So, it's back to the open market after this year and how you going to replace White and Porzingus without money? And then Horford is likely gone after this year. So it's a mini rebuild after next year. They could go back to back, but that's only if Brown/Tatum play like Luka in the years to come.
@@theStacyJames Your hope.
@@theStacyJames There may not be a perfect replacement for White but there may be decent players willing to come to Boston for that ring late in their career. If they win this year a 3 peat is definitely on the table.
@@theStacyJames they can pay both White and Tatum however much they want because of Bird rights
Only question is whether ownership wants a tax bill that large, but if championship money keeps coming in I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to bite the bullet
@@theStacyJamesif brown or tatum played like Luka the team wouldn't be as good. He is too slow and keeps the ball way too long
Jokic is better
Jrue holiday is the ultimate plug and play guy
While having the arguably the second best plug and play guy in Derrick White, Brad Stevens is a genius
a role player that has the capacity to be finals MVP
his younger version now at thunder
Not surprised about Derrick and Jrue. I’m a Spurs fan and follow Derrick still. Jrue, well, he was a good trade to Boston. Just don’t bring it up in Milwaukee
Well it wasn’t a direct trade at least
@@marcusbrady5414I mean they should’ve known a playoff team was gonna snag him from Portland and the blazers despised Miami so why not help the biggest opp lol
You can’t deny the all around greatness of the Celtic’s.
Jrue represents all business and no bs his entire career. Bucks may have messed up their window
0 turnovers in 2 games? daaaamn
White and Holiday are guards being true guards
no
It was a wrap as soon as they added Jrue. Just a testament to how confused the Bucks are. Big names do not guarantee big results.
What surprises me most is that the Mavs are here instead of Denver, Okc, or the T'Wolves. Hats off to them. BUT, if the Celts prevail, it will be a re-confirmation of the old truism: Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Holiday and White are monsters.
Celtics in 5 or 6.
League pushed Mavs for no reason. You didn`t see these travels, soft fouls called. Mavs bigs were almost never in foul trouble. They were winning some dubious challenges, like the one form yesterday with the "hand is part of the ball" would sure be gifted to them in previous rounds. But the most glaring proof is the Last 2 minutes report. Mavs have 8 games in there: In 5 the calls were helping them, in 2 the calls were even and in 1 the calls helped the opponent. This team was not better than OKC and not better than Wolves. Even the Kawhiless Clippers could have beat them if refs gave them a fair call.
Oddly, so far in the finals it looks like the gloves are off. No more help coming their way from the officials, they are on their own and true value is exposed.
Mmm i believe Mavs was defense was the league's best after the trades...and it.was also during the playoff...i would say that a balanced offence with great defence wins titles
@@arguseyed9982 this doesn't make any sense, why would the league push the mavs all this way just to lose to a team that the majority of people didn't want to see win?
@@musicarain4702 The league wanted Lakers-Celtics. They didn't get that, so they went with the team with the most popular superstar globally.
@@musicarain4702 It makes perfect sense, push the team with the big fan base and multiple sellable narratives: Luka domination/revenge for MVP snub, The rookie revelation with a sad story, Kyrie redemption, All time best duo etc. The point was to get them as far as possible, win or lose the finals makes no difference. Although not with a sweep, so expect some heavy support in game 3.
The hand is part of the ball.🏀
It's actually in the rule book that hand is part of the ball. That's why broadcast didn't say anything about that and talked about the push in the back by JB
The hand in back wasn't a push. brown was feeling the player where he was at so that he didn't hurt him.
Jrue...is a professional of professionals. Don't forget White and Porzingis. White is a bulldog, a true asset. Porzingis is coming off the bench with a smile. Every team should be wanting these 3 players, all professionals
They have the most elite 'role' players ever
Jrue ends up winning fmvp, I’m genuinely perplexed where he ends up being ranked all time, 2 rings and a fmvp, 2x all star, 6x all defense and a Olympic gold medal most likely in a couple months as well it’d be interesting, I guess wherever Igoudala is considered range probably
@@peytonlong5573 Especially if he wins 3-4 rings in Boston over the next 4 years. They have the squad to do it with 6 dudes who just entered their prime.
@@enthused7591 “6 dudes who just entered their prime” that’s not accurate, Jrue is heading into age 34 tmr, which means his vet years are creeping up, White will be 30 next season, Horford with a ring who knows when he’ll retire, Porzinigis health will always be the question, Brown and Tatum should be able to be contender for at least the next two years and see what they draft and sign to continue to fill the holes for them
@@peytonlong5573 Yeah KP at 28, White at 29, JB and JT at 26 and 27, Hauser and Pritchard at 26. Pretty much all just entered their prime, meaning they all have 7-9 years of elite play left. That's a lot of time to grow and gel together. Jrue probably still has 3-4 years left of great play.
@@enthused7591 Hauser and Pritchard aren’t key pieces, they’re solid role players, like I said White is turning 30 soon, Holiday is 34 tmr, KP injury concerns will always be there and Horford is 38 and with finally getting a ring who knows when he’ll retire, Brown and Tatum are absolutely at the beginning of their primes I’d call it year 3 of it for them, I’m just saying as happy as a Celtics fan as I am I’m not gonna jump ahead like that this season and next should absolutely be the Celtics tho
Jrue is sorely underrated. I liked watching him play for the bucks. I think it was a bad trade for Dame, you lost a lot of defence in that trade and it proved they needed it.
We literally got Holiday for free LOL Milwaukee Bucks tried to compete against the Celtics by trading away Holiday for Lillard. But didn't realize the fact that Celtics got actually stronger with their move. Thanks bucks.
Dame does not fit with the Bucks offense and he plays almost 0 defense , what in the world was the Bucks thinking.
Not for free we lost rob williams who was great, obviously jrue is much more impactful though and the trade was well worth it
@@arvinbaragani8886 williams is damaged goods... so, it is close to free
@@watchyurmouf9601 holiday a champ was informed 5min before the trade went down. Talk abt disrespect…. Bucks traded away far away to the west conf, but Brad talked Portland on selling holiday LOL
People care about a player being flashy/entertainment,jack up crazy 3s, taking over a game by himself, and scoring 30+ pts. Jrue didn't need to do any of those. He focuses on winning and helping his team to win. He actually plays defense and he makes good decisions in basketball.
“The main ingredient to stardom is the rest of the team" - John Wooden
100% The Boston guards are the MVPS!
agree
This Machine is difficult to stop.
Derek white is the only player ive ever seen who is 6'4 and virtually guaranteed at least 1 block per game
No 2 players can win the Final games. It always a team EFFORT!!! Ball rotations for open shots, lock-down defense, athletic playmakers…
I love this kind of play, I can’t stand teams focused about 1 star.
@@JoeyFangazall great teams have had multiple all stars this one included
Shaq and Kobe never won a championship together
兩位超強的雙槍 對決五位全能的團隊 呵呵 ~
@@DragonPupEclipse hahaha you're joking right? they had a 3peat from 2000-2002
i love the enthusiasm in your voice. i can tell that you are very excited
As a Cs fan, as soon as I saw that we got Jrue and he was gonna be paired up with D white, I knew these two would be just an annoyance to opposing backcourts. They are relentless on defense and they both can give you 15-20 pts any given night.
The Jrueth!
I remember the start , even mid season people where talking about our lack of depth
The whole team going crazy basketball IQ on point offense and defense isn’t based on only one player everybody going in!!!
I hope we manage to keep this core for a looooong time.
Add to that Jrue and Derrick at members of the 2nd defensive team, yet we are talking here about their offense
Not saying this because I'm from New England. White and Holiday deserve this national stage. It has shown everyone how important these guys are to the team, myself included. People around here tend to focus on focus on JT and JB.
fair
Truly was choked up watching 1.5 million people come to celebrate this great Boston team winning it all
I’m not sure you can put Dallas and defense great in the same sentence.
really great video and comments!!!!!!!
It's a great video. Boston's depth is incredible however not counting Dallas out.
Thank you Bucks! ☘️🏆☘️
Celtics has big 6 😂.
Anyone can be a hero from this team. kudos to whoever assembled this via complex trades
Brad Stevens is a better genius to Danny Ainge, and he was mastermind of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett trades
It's the team, unselfish and the willest to win😊
They had KP/ Horford on the perimeter, forcing Lively/ Gafford out of the paint and put Jrue in the dunker spot. This softened Dallas's rim defense, allowing Tatum and Brown to drive over and over, but Jrue is such a capable paint player, the Celtics didn't anything on post offense.
Spot on; a great adjustment by Boston when the 3's weren't falling, and testament to Tatum that he didn't ignore Jrue in favour of keeping on shooting to discover shooting form.
Boston having two dynamic duos on the same team is crazy 🔥
Its crazy to think that Holiday and White performs better than 6’9” Mcdaniels and Edwards defensively in the backcourt.
yeah
More experience
Glad Jrue and D White are getting their props...I honestly thought there was a case to be made for Jrue to get finals MVP...as a Cs fan, it was hard seeing Marcus leave last season but he had a tendency to want to be the hero along with the Js, and it was a detriment to the team...thats why jrue was the perfect pickup...knows his role and executes every night. He has as much off the ball impact than anyone in the league. Can't wait to repeat in '25!
BRAD STEVEN IS THE FINALS MVP. got White for Langford and couple picks LOL and convinced Portland to get Holiday for younger prospect.
Tatum is a gr8 leader
Dallas is over-matched, out-sized, and overwhelmed. Celtics got this.
LFG Celtics! Can't wait for tonight's game!
Hand is part of the ball!
Nba says that the hand is part of the ball!
Jrue Holiday for the entire PLAYOFFS 95 50 and 40. Yes, those numbers are in rarified air, with only a few players achieving 90-50 40 for the season. Tatum and Brown are supposed to be the all-tars, but Holiday, White, and Porzingis are right there. You literally have five all-star starters. Simply amazing.
I think that Dallas might, if they haven’t tried it, consider a 3-2 zone defense and/or a full court press on and off but particularly early in the games. They could theoretically wait until key moments to use the press, however when Boston looks uninterested.
Great analysis! Yes, the Celtics do have many ways to put pressure on other teams. Jrue is one gem of a player, I love his focussed and at the same time relaxed manner of carrying himself. The same for Derrick White. Great guys who give their best. As much that I want the Mavs to win these Finals, I do not think they can win it. Boston is overwhelming the Mavs and I am starting to appreciatie their efficient and effective way of playing the game. Keep up the great content!
What matters is not how good your best player is, but how good your 8th best player is.
The Celtics mastered the art of roster depth.
We've seen it in baseball. Its about time the NBA starts coming around to it.
Also, the hand is considered a part of the ball. Anything contact to the hand that is in contact with the ball (that's not excessive) is legal.
The foul in question was Brown's forearm on the back.
Knowing NBA refs though, I'm surprised they didn't call it a foul.
Mavs fans blaming kyrie, they forgot that boston did this against nets with kyrie and kd.
And this is a better version of that team and Kyrie has only gotten older
Most people just forget all the winning they have been doing the last few years. You can't really loose and still get to six ECF's but that seems to be the narrative people have decided on.
Mavs fans used to be cool you know, back when they supported Dirk. They lost their ability to be rational now. Luka, as great on offense as he is, is a always a liability on defense. Sure, he gets some stops but he wears himself out fast bc of his heavier weight and offensive load. But instead of looking of that, Mavs fans mad Kyrie isn't shooting well. The dude is past 32. No more young legs so even open shots will be off in a deep playoff run!
Derrick White...BAM. every game.
Effort and unity is make is keeping this Boston team ahead of all teams, which is strange because that was the only way Dallas was able to beat the other teams in the WC. Honestly, if my Mavs fall I'm just glad they beat the Wolves, OKC. But it's not over yet. Great video.
Heads up, Mr G - long way to go, and Mavs will be desperate at home. Winning 4 out the next 5 may be a big ask, but "one game at a time" (to quote just about everyone!)
I know a lot of people don't play basketball but the reason why PJ Washington got blocked is because he jumped off of 2 feet instead of one foot, which if you played basketball you know that that slows down your momentum and that gave white and brown the opportunity to catch up and block the shot. But the real reason that the Mavericks will lose this series is because there are two best players have absolutely no defense so every time one of the stars or players any player for that matter because their defense is so terrible Boston is getting a lot of open jump shots this is one of my favorite series of all times because it reminds you that just because you can play good on offense doesn't mean that you're a great player
Yup, he should have gone for a quick one handed dunk or even better, pump faked the hell out of both of the Celtic defenders. They would have bit! Pump faking is a lost art man
Great video. Shows just how it got done.
Celtics in 5 @ home
Kyrie really needs to stand out for the mavericks to win! This series’ key person of the mavericks is Kyrie, the leader of the Mavericks!
This has to be the best observation of a BB game out there! You saw what I saw. As far as how many games this will go depends on if the Celtics might loose a game or two just to make more money on ticket sales and concession sales.
Celtics are two wins away from being the team of the 2020’s by a big gap, more conference finals appearances than anyone else this decade, tied with Miami in finals appearances this decade, all that’s left is adding a ring to it and with JT & JB still in their mid 20’s Jrue signed into his vet years, see how much longer Horford plays, White is the perfect compliment player, Porzingis health will be a factor long term probably. They got a great foundation tho on the court and front office wise
Also a fmvp and a second ring does that make Holiday ahead of Igoudala all time or nah?
@@peytonlong5573I think it does
@@EzraK- it’s definitely up for conversation
yeah its great to watch DEFENSE in modern basketball.. lakers fan here.. but wow celtics is amazing ... they made dallas exposed theirr weaknesses
One of the enduring and eternal traits of the early Bill Russell/Havlicek era and later was very good team chemistry, selfless play always without any egocentric nonsense. Everyone played a crucial role in so many little and big ways without being stars or shooting lights out on offense.
The whole team plays ferocious defense and they always have an outlet running down court for a quick basket. And DW has been the best defense player in the league since Marcus Smart and Gary Payton , for PG😊
If anybody remembers when Boston played the Nets they made it difficult for Kyrie and Durant to score. They did score mind you but the FG% was woeful for both of them.
Celtics are going to get the next 5 chips
slow down. Let them get this one first
Boston just have an almost perfect team.. they are very good with offense and defense.. prove me wrong..
Simple
Luka= Better player than Tatum
Celtics= Better team than the Mavs
Basketball is a team sport and not tennis
Love my Celtics ☘️💚♾️
Jrue was crazy game 2 and Boston in 5
Game 3 is pivotal
For Dallas, yes, it is pivotal; no team has ever come back from 0-3.
For Boston, not as much. If the Mavs use up all their gas tickets to claw a Game 3 win and then lose game 4, then I can't see Dallas winning 4 straight to take the title after being down 1-3.
That block is actually legal in the rule book
Hand on hand contact when the ball is attached is OK; the Brown push in the back was definitely not!
Dwhite and Jrue playing like hungry wolves in this series.
This Celtics is scary not only in this season but in the coming years.
But the most impressive for me in this series is Cs discipline of sticking to game plan strategy no matter what happens and never overreact even if mavs made a run and not fouling.
When Brad Steven's traded for Derek White even when he traded for porzingis & Jrue Holiday.. he was playimg chess while the rest of the NBA was playing checkers
Jrue Holiday is so underrated. I bet Giannis is regretting what happened now.
Boston has 7 players that can play well on both sides of the ball, make that 8 now that Zingy's back. they are hard to beat but really need to get, one in Dalas now.
5 elite players. Horford is solid. Pritchard and Hauser are limited. Don’t exaggerate.
Not Pritchard
@@nicholaseaster58good analysis and they all have bought into the team concept.
Haven't lost yet on the road these playoffs, so let's see.
When you don’t have any massive egos on the team, in this era, you can dominate
perfectly broken-down! they don't understand its not about Luka vs Tatum or Kyrie Vs Brown. Nobody on that Dallas Team can or will out-work White & Holiday
White is Ray Allen + defense.
Ray Allen had Good Defense go watch the older games. In his first few seasons with MiL his Offense was crazy
No call on no contact. The hand while touching the ball is considered the ball. White blocked all ball through the hand on the ball.
The crazy thing is if they try n counter it guess what that opens up there two best , two all start , first n second team all NBA players
After these playoffs I dont think Boston is going to be able to afford D White's extension hahaha
Game 1 more shocked than Game 2
jrue has championship dna badge
Well y'all saw the fact that during the game when the Mavericks were picking up speed and regaining momentum the refs came in and shut them down With one call after another of ridiculous fouls
Celtics in 5
18 points & 12 assists is an L for Tatum lol
Mavs fans are not toxic like boston fans and akers fans who criticized thier own players everytime they have a bad game. Im from boston btw. Remember how they always left before finishing the game everytime they are losing??? How many times did that happen???remember every year how they cursed them because of fsilure getting the championship?For sure if this boston celtics couldnt win this championship, boston fans will crucify them. And burn them.
And Im sure if ever tatum or brown left or gets traded this in the future , boston fans will curse them just like what they did to kyrie and smart. Ungrateful fans, its a shame I live here.
Bostin celtics players/team deserves a championship but not the city..
Celtics playing better team ball
casual
The city doesn't deserve a championship but the Celtics do the bill Russell documentary speak volumes @@fivedesert3675
He was a rebound away from a triple double and was getting doubled 🙄🤦🏾♂️
do they play Madonna's song Holiday at the TD garden during celtics games?
Its a janky backcourt. But it works so well.
Tatum was 1 rebound from a triple double.. Boston is up 2-0 right now because Celtics defense and the fact that the "best duo in history" from Dallas CANNOT PLAY DEFENSE
so wheres now the dallas fanatics? what happened to prediction you made?
that block wasn't a foul...the still you stopped on makes it look like it, even though hand is part of the ball, but when you keep going, you see that's not even where the block happens.
If that foul was called, then it's just a one possession game and Dallas would have alot of momentum.
They miss free throws and toss the ball away all game and you whine about what you think is a foul late in the game?? 🤣
@@user-oc8sr3ml9m All of those were bad and contributed to the loss but it's egregious that no call was made there when there was clear contact.
Its not a foul. Hand is part of the ball. Slapping the wrist or arm is a foul.
@@outlander234 Contact wasn't incidental. Don't forget about the push from the back.
Good vid, thanks. So Uncle Jrue MVP? Bos by 3 or more game 3. Bos in 5
irving do sounds like points shaving
How often do you see Kyrie NOT finishing at the rim? This is all you need to know abour Derrick White ! (Kyrie even scored on Wemby in the paint but had no chance against Derrick).
Hand is part of the ball. That DWhite block ain’t a foul.
I think Kyrie being 0-3 and 0-5 for 3pt helps too
