Thank You J’s

[cons]

I feel like our players hear us at times.
So I want them to hear this:
 THANK YOU!!

Both Jayson and Jaylen acknowledged fan support after the big win today.

I feel so lucky that we have such classy humble guys to cheer for.
They are both awesome players and also seem like genuinely good and caring people.

They didn’t have to thank the fans today - but they did. It doesn’t get much better than this from a fan perspective, I think.

So Jayson, Jaylen, Marcus, Al, Rob and everyone else: Thank you for being a group that is so easy to cheer for and for being so good.

You have given myself and my family so many happy moments over the last 2 seasons. And we appreciate you very much.

Let’s Go Celtics!!! 😁😁😁

Not sure how this thread hasn't gotten more love.  Thank you Jays.  I have not had championship expectations up until this year - even last year I felt that JB and JT were still just a bit too young to lead the C's to a title.  I was almost wrong.

I'm grateful that we've been able to build an incredible team mostly from the draft.  To draft two All-Star wing players back to back is incredibly rare.

Shout out to JB for being incredible in the playoffs.  Against Philly he scored 23+ points in every game except for game 2.  Through the postseason so far he is shooting 54% from the field, 47% from 3, and is averaging close to 25 PPG.

Cosign!

Nothing better than homegrown talent winning. I love you too Horford, White and Brogdon.

What about Smartacus? Cornerstone for years already...

2020: Eastern Conference Finals
2022: NBA Finals
2023: .......

Not sure its a dynasty, but at least this has been a competitive team with home-grown players for a long time. This kind of achievements should not be taken for granted. With this year it will be 5 ECF or better in the last 7 years.

Only one thing is missing, let's get it done...

Even 2021 and 2019 are nothing to be gloss over - go look at a perennial contender like Duncan's Spurs (though we're not on that level yet), they lost in the first round as often as they won championships.

Usually NBA eras (save the 70's) have a couple of superstars trading rings back and forth - the 2010's iteration of that has been James and Curry - but the results are encouraging so far, and Banner 18 would be a nice end to the 'first era' of the J's

[Neurotic Guy]

Less than an week ago, no one was talking about banner 18. 
Then came the 4th quarter (last 4 minutes) of G6, Jaylen’s call for fan energy, and the JT masterpiece featuring an astonishing 3rd quarter in G7.

Now as we await the ECF v. a team most see as beatable, there is renewed life and hope. 

I expect we’ll have the old rollercoaster in effect over the next week and a half but it feels a whole lot better today than it did last Wednesday morning.

And thanks to Jays for that!!!

[A Future of Stevens]

We have been very lucky to draft these two stars and surround them with a good supporting cast. I can't wait to see where these two are able to take us in the future, along with what is to come this year.

I've seen many versions of the C's over the years and it just seems that this one is especially to be treasured.  I feel so fortunate.

cant take times like this for granted !!! I remember when Brandon bass was our 3rd best player and we had Jordan Crawford lol

[ozgod]

We've gotten so used to Jayson and Jaylen doing this that sometimes an expectation that they do this all the time...we get disappointed when they don't. But it is something special.

Jordan Crawford was the best player in the league one week
