@sakthithanigai5036 24 күн бұрын

It’s crazy cuz the idea rn is if the Celtics get into close games, they are playing down to the opponent, but if they aren’t in close games they aren’t being battle tested. Last night was a huge game for the Celtics because the grit and toughness they showed when it looked bleak was huge. They were coming off not having played a basketball game in 7 days. That’s serious rust that can build.

@tim.noonan 24 күн бұрын

Whatever makes the Celtics look the worst is the narrative. They’re not the newness, so they’re obviously a fraudulent trash team no matter what happens. Don’t you know how this goes by now?

@bossp6624 24 күн бұрын

At this point I rather the media not even cover the Celtics. No matter how much success this team has its only negative takes about them. And I have never seen a winning coach get disrespected like Joe Mazzulla. Ime Udoka got fired on his own. And the Celtics were doing the same thing under Brad Stevens. But because they made the Finals in one year of having Udoka, all of a sudden he's Phil Jackson now. Let's see how far he can get that Houston Rockets team

Celtics are 9-2 in the postseason and 7 wins away from the title. Over the past 20 seasons, the champion has averaged 6 playoff losses. That means the Celtics are ahead of schedule, getting 7 wins and giving up 4 losses is reasonable even for this team which all the haters say the sky is falling even after wins.

I'm convinced people don't actually watch the sport, the idea that Boston was gonna go 16-0, average wins by 20 points was not likely. Yet here we are again with another overreaction from the media & fans. The 08 team went to 2 game 7s against weaker teams.

And we’re without a critical player still. But instead of being glad we’re finding ways to get it done and take care of business anyway, we’re going to be all mad and critical that we’re not winning every single game in blowout fashion.
