Just behind D Rose 🌹

And Jeremy Lin

Nah dude, he FAR exceeded expectations. He was the 60th pick. He could’ve been a lot better had he not injured his hip of course, but he is far better than anyone expected in 2011 and he is one of the biggest reasons why shorter players are still valued in today’s game.

Greg oden fs

Why tf is concert killer ur pp

boston never said that.

At least OKC doesn’t draft like Portland

@@JF-ho2tm ouch

Hard would never develop if he stayed with the thunder

The thunder handed Dallas the 2011 chip because OKC pulled the 2009 Tyson Chandler trade.

Mostly because of how the premise for it was absolutely garbage too. He basically blames Ainge for Hayward snapping his ankle and Kyrie going catatonic along with COVID happening (and the team being killed with injuries/players out last year). I love that they proved this whole narrative wrong this year just by keeping the core that Ainge himself is solely responsible for putting together.

should’ve been rockets and Celtics 2018 finals if it weren’t for refs and injuries

It did and it didn't. He posted it after the 2021 disaster where it seemed like the window slammed shut on the Celtics. This was basically how the 2018/19 teams were constructed and supposed to be unstoppable and instead egos and injuries ruined it. Your comment was posted 2 months ago and as I type this, the Celtics are 3 wins away from being NBA Champions.....who saw THAT coming in November 21 or even in March?

@@KHayes666 I did. Which is why I wrote this comment 2 months ago.

@@KHayes666 Who saw a team with two all-stars who are 25-years old or younger, one of which is arguably a top-5 scorer in the league most nights, going to the Finals at some point? Hmmm, let me think …

Fr everyone want to rip on them but they wouldn't have shit if not for those shrewd moves/draft moves. Which is what so many average management decision makers would do.

Yeah but karma for that organization not telling Thomas how bad his injury is and making him play in the playoffs. now look at them. same results and worse

@SoloDoloWill I don’t think they made him play he played willingly due to pride man

@@bollocks3168 Well he played willingly because they didn't tell him how serious his injury was. They just wanted to milk every last bit of Thomas pre-injury then flip him for someone better

that eventually ruined the team lmfao

That's a lie, they messed up by letting Hayward, terry and horford go they got to thr conference finals

@@barca29np and Tatum's inconsistency

oh lawd. dry your crocodile tears. you don't care about IT and no team Celtics or otherwise wants him on their roster.

Good...it deserved better

@@sergiogrey4014 Neither does other team. Funny how guys like Lebron "sympathize" with IT, yet they didn't even offer him to join their teams. Such hypocrites. Or how AD's dad talk about it, yet AD flat out quit on the Pelicans which is just disgusting. Loyalty is a two way street.

Not anymore warriors about to win

Don't overlook Al Horford.

@@tanjirosayian doesn't mean they aren't a good team.

@@ethandew1768 So true boston may have lost the finals but they are still a super squad.

LOL! Monday morning quarterback post. Had you posted this comment when the video was made, you would have a case. But, you posted it when they in the finals. You're a psychic, bro.

Lmaoo

"Just wait until Kyrie and Hayward come back."

@@philly_sports1558 🤣🤣🤣

Now's it's OKC's turn.

Now that shit empty as hell

Yeahh man I just fucking miss those days

Thought they had shit themselves got washed next year.

It was three years ago lmfao

That team probably would’ve put up more of a fight against the Warriors than the Cavs did. Warriors most likely would still win that series but the Celtics would’ve been actually competitive. Glad the Cavs got swept.

Why are you acting like this happened a decade ago?🤣

I love Tatum and Brown but to me they seem like they have much heart.

Damn, never had likes like this before. Thanks everyone and if you're a Celtics fan I'm sorry for this season 😢

This team in the last 15 games are ranked 4th in the league defensively. This heart crap is garbage. No heart teams don’t play top 5 defense. This is tired narrative. The only problem they have right now is they can’t shoot. And it makes everything look worse.

@@michaeln3044 You can look like a Top 5 Defense when you're playing the Cavs, Pistons, Toronto, etc night to night. That defense was real against the Miami Heat but otherwise the Nets game should be a wake up call. This team doesn't have it on offense, I love when a team defends but it is what it is. The Celtics are just not that good.

@@dariuslynard158 nope. This over the last 15. You can’t fake that for 15 games. Also I’ll remind you Cleveland is doing just fine. Plus that stretch had 10 games of no Jaylen, and off and on absence by ur rim protector timelord. You can’t excuse away top 5 defense. Especially if it exists even post the nets debacle. When you can’t make shots everything looks worse. Anyways it’s a meme now that Celtics fans just repeat heart over and over in dif contexts.

Sad he isn't even on a team right now

Any team in the league would've traded IT to get Kyrie. And I loved watching IT play but don't act like no other team wouldn't have made that deal.

they failed him

@@ja4309 really sad💔

@@vercettii his hip failed him

Besides the whole “overwhelming” favourites to win the chip?

@@LaBronny yeah like when tf was boston a number 1 to win the chip 2008?

The only lie I heard was kyrie saying he was re-signing

@@adamevans94 💀💀💀

Umm the lie is in the title. What dynasty😭😭

LOL FACTS

Yesssir

@@tedlimbert2291 celts in the finalss

Still ain’t a dynasty with those bums my thunder are a dynasty

finals now though

dude has to make video... and obviously kyrie is not the only variable. but his lack of leadership and just over all weirdness made everything worse. too many star guards and not enough ball to go around.

@@Kevinschart facts clearly the Celtics had way more problems than kyrie but the facts are he would be injured and they’d make a conference finals, then he comes back and shoots em out the 2nd round and in the press conference he says”I honestly should’ve shot more” how you supposed to follow that as your leader

@@Kevinschart You gotta remember that Kyrie was going through it off the court that season. His grandfather was dying at the time and the press nagging him over and over didn't really help his mental state.

kyrie is the most hated player in the NBA and it’s extremely weird to me. anything he does gets absolutely blown out of proportion for no reason. I will never in my life understand the immense amount of hate he gets for wanting to be a normal guy outside of basketball. Anytime he talks to the media it gets twisted and goes thru the wringer and comes out on TV as something totally different than what he actually meant. Social media enables everyone to believe they know these players, not just kyrie but all these NBA players on a personal level when they don’t know anything about these guys personal life or mental struggles. NBA fans think that just because these guys get paid so much they should just suck it up and do whatever the fans want. It’s weird, the internet is weird. We are all behind a screen, we don’t know anything about these guys besides what the media says but nobody seems to realize that.

Kyrie's fault!

This is true. They basically proved it: “The two “best” players were out and we made it tot he finals, maybe in reality if I was given the chance I’m the best player”. American NBA basketball is inherently selfish, give the ball to your best player most of the time, and when he’s crowded give it to your 2nd. Screen for your 1 and 2 to get them open. It also doesn’t help the biggest contracts and fame goes to those players. So the rookie squad who’s “proved” themselves worthy of the 1/2 are wondering why they’re being pushed back into their former roles even if statistically and factually they are worse

That was perfectly described actually I felt the same way.

worded perfectly

L

Its a double-edged sword for sure. If Tatum, Brown & Rozier don't step up in 2018 then egos don't implode the team in 2019. The flip side is because those three stepped up it showed what Tatum & Brown can do with more experience and made Rozier's trade value go up. Flipping Rozier for Kemba Walker on paper after Kyrie left SHOULD have made the team just as nasty in 2020 but as well know Kemba's knees weren't up to it.

even tho the video aged like milk, i still think it was really well made (and truthful at the time)

still no rings

@@SASBurner Exactly

Yeah it all changed in 2022 for them

And still haven’t won shit

Who?

@@123shotas you

Same with Brooklyn last year 🤣

How could you not?

I wanted to see my favourite team at the time, the Houston Rockets (cause my favourite player is CP3) vs the Boston Celtics. Cause who tf wanted to see Cavsless vs OP Warriors

Celtics suck😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🎂🎂🤡🤡🤡💀💀💀💀💀🤡🤡🤡🤡💀💀😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂💀🤡🤡

I also think the team just couldn't find the right offense and kyrie seemed out of place with them.

Me too :/

We know :(

Other than his talks on grant and Romeo they have both showed potential an grant has been a great spot up shooter but other than that yes described perfectly 😢

Just trade the entire Boston Celtics rooster for Warriors' entire rooster, problem solved.

@@blue-phoenix115 lol! I wish!!!

Since this video was made the worst the team has done is lose the ECF in 7 games 😂 basically the tatum-brown era has had 2 years wjere the team failed miserably...19 and 21

J

Fax sometimes all it takes is a little bit of familiarity too drive a group of talented people to win

yeah almost like they could actually never compete for a championship anyway if everyone even was healthy

@@danielmccauley3884 LOL?

@@danielmccauley3884 LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Flat Earth joke? Lol

Your name belies the accuracy of your comment

I swear 😂😂😂🤣 In my opinion you gotta actually win a title first to Be a dynasty not just a good a playoff run😂😂

We have 16 chamionships lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo WHAT DOES UR TRASH FRANCHISE HAVE

@@maxh4651 nah we got 17

The big 4 celtics would of three peated if it werent for injuries. The lakers could of never matched the celtics. Sure kobe is great but his supporting cast wasnt that good. Celtics could of made finals in 2018 too.

Scared Terry was a no show in the most important games (0-10 from 3 in game 7, ring a bell?) and the next season he was horrible, just a couple good games here and there because he thought himself more important than the team and wanted to be the star. Dude, if you can't play good coming off the bench how can you be a star? He was just as detrimental to that team as kyrie was. So glad he's gone

He did on his other video exclusively about IT

It takes literally 10 seconds to mention it

They did make it

Yeah but bubble was something else… strange playoffs

nah bubble dont count

We good now

@@vroom6059 Fuck yeah we are.

Not really

I mean 2018 and 2019 really. Y'alls far exceeded expectations in 2018 with the rise of Tatum and Brown following a Hayward injury (and later on Kyrie). Then of course y'all had to be disappointing due to a number of issues. 2020 came along and looked promising until that series against the Heat. 2021 was very disappointing which now leads us to here...

LOL - OK.. :)~

Never bet your franchise on Kyrie. Nets finding out the hard way

@@davidmata4786 that tilde LOOOOOOOL how fittingly effeminate

This didn't age well

@@michaelmeteviet9702 How so?

@@domskillet5744 the iso ball part, they are one of the best passing teams now.

@@michaelmeteviet9702 That kinda proves my point though. Once they stop doing the iso nonsense they are a great team, but only in the last few weeks have they been playing good team basketball

@@domskillet5744 ehhh, its going on 2 months now, since the Christmas game they've turned it around but user what you're saying.

As much as I wanted to see the Celtics as overwhelming favorites. I knew the Warriors were the best

I don't think they were even top 4 from what I remember lol maybe Celtics fans had different view I dunno

they were lmao this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about

It’s talking about in the East cuz of the article he shows

I think he meant in the East. In the NBA, the Warriors were by far the favorite at -168, the Celtics were second at +620.

Kyrie has always been a cancer to his teams. The bad always outweighed the good parts of his game

Then became Number 3 when James Harden got traded their.

I once believed scary terry could develop in the celtic alongside Smart, Brown, and Tatum

Not really

we swept Cryrie and made the finals

@@koolman638 Cryrie, this should be a more known nickname

me but they still lost

Yup

Dynasty

But, you can say they were a POTENTIAL dynasty

@@JonathanPaspula Celtics did Thomas so very wrong, glad this happened.

@@JonathanPaspula no we cannot

@@JonathanPaspula they never even made the finals let alone win a championship.

I remember the game against the Heat, the clock went to 0, so I turned the game off. Then they added the 0.6 seconds. lol.. woops.

what tough years

Fr fr 💯

I mean they were also playing well before he went injured that season so I dunno man

They actually didn’t. They played good but saying they played better is a stretch. If Kyrie was there in game 7 vs the Cavs they would definitely have won that game. They went on a 17 game win streak with Kyrie and was top 10 on both sides of the ball. I’m sick of y’all talking out y’all ass about this topic.
