Did you enjoy watching this playoff run?

[blink]

Absolutely enjoyed it.  Why as a Celtic fan would you not enjoy them getting to the NBA finals??  Tatum and Brown took the next step, got into the finals.  There is still more one more step to become an NBA champ.  It is really difficult, it will take a lot more hard work and dedication.  I still believe in the Jays.

[Atzar]

Yes, absolutely.

There was a time earlier in this season that I had all but given up on this core as a championship-aspiring group.  Getting HERE from THERE was a joy to watch, even if the ending sucked. 

[slamtheking]

enjoyed it, until the last 3 games

[Alleyoopster]

Yes, very proud of this group. They didn't give up.

Credit to the GSW they are good team both defensively and offensively.  They were the Celtics toughest opponent.

What's disappointing is the Celtics never quite figured out how to play this team.

[CelticSooner]

Honestly I wish I could enjoy it for what it was, a kid's game but I'm a basketball junkie. I see faults that just drive me mad. I still don't know if they overachieved or underachieved. I guess it just depends on what you thought of this team before the playoffs started.

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.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel. I definitely did enjoy it, but there was just something frustrating about the run, too. It was mostly the continued beating ourselves with the turnovers, but also the whining constantly by the players leading to issues.

i will bet this was the biggest finals giveaway in history

we gave them the title on a silver platter

that is my story and i am sticking with it

[jambr380]

Happy they made it to the Finals, but not in how it all went down. I've been way too stressed out over the last couple of months over mostly 20-something year olds playing a game that I have no control of. I'm sure I'll look back fondly and also look back with regret, but it was an absolute grind. Obviously I'd feel differently if we actually won, but those Bucks and Heat series took a lot out of me.

I prepared for the team's demise after game 4, so I am less 'devastated' now than I was after that game, but it is still very disappointing.

Team full of mental midgets. Watching them crumble under the pressure this series, especially my favorite player Tatum, was sad to see.. We need a better bench 5 points aint gonna cut it in a preseason game nevermind an NBA finals elimination game. I know hes a rookie coach but Ime crumbled as well.. What a waste of such a great turnaround this season

Yeah it was quite sad. I know coach Spo and Kerr are both top tier coaches but still.. Ime made zero adjustments and just couldnt get these guys heads out of their behinds. Zero plays being called, it just seemed like a freelance offense out there. And not getting them to take care of the ball after doing it all series long is unacceptable.

And what was with his rotations? We start out 12-2 and then he subs in white for some reason and then he plays white, pritchard, and grant at the same time with our backs against the wall. We started the game with a clear effort to get inside the paint and bully curry and then he goes small and gives up a 21-0 run LOL

i am absolutely sick and tired of not just players who either do not listen or who do not get it after 6 years...........AND why does stevens and imme get away from what is working? insanity. we coulda won thos series. this was no juggernaut. we beat bigger teams in the bucks. we had size advantage and refused to use it. just dumb coaching.

Agreed. We made the ECF 4 times out of the last 6 years and they finally break through to the finals and just crap the bed and fall back into bad habits. Theres no silver lining here, these guys should have been ready for the big lights but they werent

I think sometimes you need to suffer pain to be successful. I want them to feel this pain all through the summer, to take the sight of GS celebrating on our home floor, and use it as motivation for next season. We don't need wholesale changes, we need tweaks and we need a change in mindset to make sure we respond to these runs.

GS showed their championship pedigree the last few games, they took care of business when they had to and won the small things, rebounds, deflections, composure against refereeing decisions, less turnovers.

Our turnovers in the 6 games - 12, 18, 12, 15, 18, 22. That's really where the game was won and lost. Thankfully for them, that's under their control. They can fix those, improving their handles, improving their reads of not driving into crowds, not trying to milk too many fouls and losing the ball, those are all things they can fix.

Enjoyed sweeping the KD/Irving Nets.
Enjoyed taking down the best player in the world Giannis Bucks.
Enjoyed erasing Butler, Coach Spo, Pat Riley and the highly ranked defense/#1 seed Miami Heat.

And the two wins the Celtics achieved in the Finals
