Hate to say it but overall I didn't enjoy it much. It was way too frustrating watching this team literally throw away games. They showed some toughness but they got by on talent more than anything. Maybe one day they can actually match their talent with mental capabilities.

I had fun still.

But I also said this in the GDT, but the way this series ended definitely has me feeling a bit sour and disappointed. For a group as resilient as this one, to lose 3 in a row including 2 at home to lose the Finals... OUCH. Also, Tatum really never had a great game this series which sucks and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

But overall it was still fun. I don't mind Golden State winning it, I don't hate them. Now if it was say, an LA team or something then I'd feel worse

After the Nets series, I didn’t really enjoy watching many of the games. Honestly, I’m just happy they made the finals. I thought they were lucky to get by the Bucks and the Heat despite being the more talented team. The Miami series was especially excruciating.

Awesome run. Up and down but still awesome.

I did until I heard Ainge setup Jazz HC interviews with two of our coaches on the day of game 3 in the NBA Finals, which was followed by three straight losses for, what, the first time in all of 2022? Nice.

Fortunately, we’ll be back and we’ll win next time. Mark my words:  zero credit goes to Ainge.

Yes, but disappointed losing three straight and two out of them we could have won.

Somewhat enjoyed it.  Some memorable wins, but lots of frustrating games in each series watching the Celtics beat themselves with the same mistakes, especially turnovers.  Many games were not enjoyable due to terrible officiating, which is just far too common.

After our game 5 loss against the Warriors I knew that we were not going to win this series.  I'm still proud of this young team that has a lot of room to grow.  Some people here are calling our players "stupid".  They don't deserve that.

Yes, the Celtics lost because the assistant coaches were taking interviews.  ::)

Wow…

Absolutely enjoyed it. If you told me in December that this team would be in the Finals, I would've tried to sell you a bridge.

This team was discounted from Round 1 and defied all expectations.

Loved it. Had its ups and downs but overall they had a great year. Just not quite at the same level as GS mentally which is why they had the in game lapses.
