Celtics 2024 Playoff Run Thread

The Celtics and all their experience have no excuse not to win a finals against the wolves who their star is 22 and KAT has never been there.

This is Tatum/browns time and prime. Can’t lose to a younger version.

To everyone talking about Minny, we and they gotta get there first...we will have to beat our biggest foe - our own ineptitude and proclivity to take games off - to get there

Crazy to think that Tatum is the oldest alpha left.

Wow, I didn't even think about that. It's gonna be fun to see which young guy wins their first championship this year

Edit: Weirdly enough, it looks like Brown is the youngest #2 left. Kyrie, Towns, and Siakam are all older

And now the social mediots are saying "The Boston Celtics officially have the easiest Mickey Mouse path in NBA history."

Idk what more do they want...a banged up Knicks team coming to Boston or a lowly seeded Pacers team coming into Boston.

Indy beat up a banged up Bucks team and Knicks team but no one bats an eye 😂 But when it comes to the Celtics everyone loses their minds

The Celtics and Jayson Tatum specifically are the most hated in the league right now by far

No matter how much the rest of the league and fans hate the Celtics, they can never hate them the way we do...we're the ones on this Celtics roller coaster 

[Roy H.]

I'm very glad we won last night.  I was worried that a loss last night would snowball.  Instead, we're the team with positive momentum which hopefully will lead to a full 48 minute performance on Thursday.

This might be the best thing you have posted. It is 100 percent true.

I honestly don't get it. Tatum is such a likeable guy. doesn't say much just takes care of his kid and plays ball. and people hate him.

Also, I think we wanted to see how celtics would perform in a close/clutch time moment game right? hopefully this answers some of those questions.

TBH i always said the last shot should go to brown instead of tatum.

Well, as expected, the media has now shifted the narrative again about the Celtics.

After claiming that we are not “battle tested” and can’t “execute in the clutch”, when we do both of those things now the Celtics should be worried about their play last night. And then both JB and JT were “horrible” down the stretch.

It’s honestly just ridiculous at this point. It’s completely narrative driven, and the narrative is to step on the C’s every opportunity you can get. It’s just mind-boggling.

Per the Hoop Collective (which I’m increasingly starting to dislike), JT with 36, 12, 4, 3 and a +20 in a 5 point win had a terrible performance. 🫠

I have stopped watching anything ESPN other than the actual game. It is just ridiculous the narratives they throw out. Cs just need to stay in their lane. Keep winning.

The nice thing about ESPN is that the crowd/game noise is at a pretty decent level compared to the announcers, I've been able to keep the volume low enough that I can tune out the announcers while still hearing whistles and cheers.

There's absolutely no way I'll listen to those guys during a game, my blood pressure doesn't need that

Breen really struggled last night.

I have noticed this quite a bit throughout the season. He's not nearly as sharp as he once was. Baffled last night when he called a foul on Boston and it was them calling time out.

stephen A just said he's disgusted with their offense and asked if JT/JB will ever answer the call and take over....

this after both basically won us the game and we put up 133pts

Looking ahead (which is always dangerous)...

A potential Game 7 with Indiana would be on June 2.  The Finals start June 6.  There are two nights of rest between every Finals game other than Game 3 and Game 4.

So, IF we get to the Finals, both KP and Horford should get solid rest and recuperation between each game.
