LOL I LOVE THAT COMPILATION IN THE BEGINNING! I WANT ALL OF THE MEDIA TO KEEP 👏 THAT 👏 SAME 👏 ENERGY 👏!!!

Luka & Kyrie best backcourt in history became Luka not having help real quick. 😂😂😂

The whole "Boston isn't battle tested" narrative was ridiculous to begin with. Derek White has the least playoff games out of the starters, and he's played 68, with most guys having over 100 already. Horrible narrative by the fickle media that doesn't do their research anymore.

Perk: "Boston fans are nervous" As a Boston fan, I have literally not heard a single nervous Celtics fan yet.

The fact that Molly was the only one on first take to pick the Celtics is insane 💀

Boston has been battle tested for 6 mabey 7 years. They have been knocking on the door for 8 years now. 8 ECF appearances, 2 NBA finals appearances. All failures that have taught them how to seize the moment now in 2024. Boston dominating this year shows you how much better they are than everyone in the east. Boston has been battle tested for years now. They don't need 1 year of playoffs to get tested. The past 7 to 8 years have already done that for the Celtics.

Majority of media picking Dallas picked them to save face for the slander they threw at kyrie these last few years

Looks like it was Dallas that wasn't battle tested... Jokes aside, Mavs fans are finally brought back to reality with the fact that while Luka/Kyrie can score, they are liabilities on defense.. Luka got to stand around all playoffs, but now he's getting exposed for his defense..

Celtics drafted 2 beasts and then collected a bunch of guys that other teams didn’t want. Thank you other teams. 🙏🏻

The media doesn't like the Celtics increasing their ring margin over the Lakers.

Love how wrong the majority of the national media was with this. Haters gonna hate. Go Celtics!

I picked Boston in 4, never forget

Boston hasn't played their best game yet, and they still win.

It was a very impressive with the fact that they shot 10/200000099897344 on 3s. Celtics used to live and DIE on 3s. Game 2 showed so much growth

It’s funny cause if the Celtics win, everyone will pretend they didn’t pick the Mavs. They’ll just be “a 5th seed” and used as part of the “No good competition” BS. Narrative to diminish the Celtics incredible success. These people in media should be ashamed of themselves

All shit everyone talked about my Celtics over the years is coming back to kick their asses and I’m so here for it 😂😂😂😂💯🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just shows how well all the experts know what they're talking about

I was always with the Celtics. When everyone was saying mavs I was like whatchu talking about

Tatum plays better on the road. Even though his shooting was bad yesterday, a close triple double is pretty impressive.

Haslem hates the Celtics lol

Did UD just say the Mavs are deeper? What Mavs roster is he looking at? The 2010-2011 Mavs? Celtics roster this season is far deeper than the Mavs roster.

And just so everyone knows.. The Heat did better WITHOUT Jimmy. They actually won a game! Celtics whooped them all three times this year. Blowout 30pt win WITH Jimmy playing.. Celtics didn't just cruise through 64 wins you haters lol

I’m convinced the sports media ran a psyop to get bettors on the Mavs #ESPNBet

The title was years in the making…. 2024 Celtics is all time GREAT

A bunch of clowns

Media coverage since the begin of the season been nuts tbh but especially the playoffs. Remember this team got here because injuries to other teams, yet for most the playoffs didn’t have kristaps, and is now what 14-2? Yeah they just the best TEAM

They clearly did not see the game in regular season Luka lost his magic and started changing headbands and sneakers. Once Tatum signs his super max and get back in the lab it’s over Brad has built the beginning of a dynasty

All these " experts" think the eastern conference is the G league. What they're inadvertently admitting is that overall nba talent is weak. But I thought these were the " greatest athletes of all time!"......😅😅😅😅😅

Could’ve sworn UD said he had the Celtics winning it all on his podcast 😂😂😂😂 let’s go Celtics!!☘️☘️☘️

The problem is the incoming Jason Tatum disrespect since it's the porzingis and jalen brown show..if tatum doesn't turn up like in mvp fashion then he's going to have one of the most disrespected rings ever (as a player)

Dallas is deeper?? Dante Exum?? 😂😂

the absolute disrespect the media has shown the other eastern teams, *especially* the pacers, has been astounding. miami and cleveland both had a convincing win after two games and while the pacers were down 0-2, they had caused a lot of trouble for the c's. but because the big guys got injured it doesn't matter how well those teams played, they're all trash now. the east is the weaker conference right now, but it's not as weak as you'd think

that only shows that the media make predictions based on what they see recently

These people, who are supposed to be experts, do not know what th hell they are talking about!

Haslem said he thought they were deeper! 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 Celtic's ☘️ Taking it 💯

NBA TEAMS are not just theoretical lineups. The playoffs involve matchups just as much as star power. It's like the NBA media is a decade behind and still thinks best player = winner of the series when that has not always been the case.

I truly think GM 3 may be the culmination. It may be the masterpiece we've been waiting for. Tatum loves these GM 3s. Im excited and nervous!

Boston choking last season, and then Denver choking this season have robbed fans of the finals matchup we deserve. Miami last year and Dallas this year just simply can't compete.

That Boston’s really a deep team.

People fail to realize how good this Bostom team is. Celtics have 6 players who can Score 20 and play top tier individual defense. Dallas does not have that. This Celtics team has been built and battle tested for this exact moment. This is how you draft and develop a team into a Champion!

You’re 💯 correct without being Bias ! I realize most people who are against the Celtics just straight hating Celtics without being realistic! Great analysis!!!

Luka isn't a test for Boston. He's just an anchor on the court to run by.

Great start to video !!!! Just missed out on skip ( from Dallas ) , Chris Broussard , Rick bucher ( hater ) Colin coward , whole morning cast of unsportsmanlike, all highlighting our negatives that picked Dallas

The "Battle tested" narrative never made sense. Boston was in the finals just two years ago.

And those pre-finals numbers are without KP, so they can play much MUCH better

Here's another BS narrative that Boston has shredded- "Luka is the best player on the floor." Luka is the best offensive weapon on the floor, but his defense is garbage, and he's not used to playing D so he's getting worn out by the 4th having to do so much more that usual. 3pts in the 4th in G2, 4 in the 4th in G1. They said he was clutch, where's he at?

They're just hating the #1 ranked best sports state in the US. The media hated the Pats and the Celtics.

Lets face it. The media & public’s disdain for the Celtics clouded their judgment. There was zero reason to pick Dallas to win this series, Boston was clearly the better team all year. Not to mention in the 2 matchups this season Boston destroyed Dallas. The 2nd being a 28 point ass whooping post trade deadline when Dallas had PJ, Gafford and were on a roll. If KP was 100% this would be a 4 game sweep with an average margin of victory in double figures

THANK YOU for that first cut.

Mavs playing some ass defense too, leaving everyone open when Boston swings the ball. Their wings also are able to expose Luka on defense, he’s been getting cooked on defense and getting blown by.

Boston on the road has been a whole different monster this postseason. Games 3 and 4 are going to be great

Bringing the receipts. Love this

2022 Celtics which made the Finals had to go through the star-studded Nets, defending champ Bucks, and the first seed Heat with a healthy Jimmy Butler. Where’s their medal for a tough path? Why don’t the 2022 Warriors get an asterisk? You play who’s in front of you. Media clowns all of them.

CHARLIE MURRRRPHEYYYYY!!!! Lets go Celtics!!!

Should have added Molly's pick of us winning the Finals in the beginning lol. That would have been golden!!! Go Celtics!!!☘️☘️🍀

Yeah the C's are stacked. Not many teams can have their "Top 5, Superstar" shoot 24-66 over three games with 14 turnovers and win every game.

This guy was talking about how good the Mavs were but now switching. Bro keep that nervy of Luka being so goated….Fluka sucked

"East is the easier path"

I knew Dallas was doomed when Stephen A picked them.

This might be a sweep. I really hope so just so we can see a legendary flip flop from the media

I still give Dallas a chance and a pretty good chance at that. Boston did what they were supposed to do, they kept home field advantage, all Dallas have to do is defend their court and win one game in Boston where it hasn’t been that impossible in the past few years. Game 3 will be the deciding factor of the series, if Dallas doesn’t come out in a sense of urgency during game 3 and help Luka then this series is officially over. Until it goes to Dallas, it is meaningless talking about the first two games since Boston is the higher seed and they played in Boston, that’s the reason why if the road team wins one of the 1st two games, it’s considered as a major upset.

No one is talking about Jason Tatum because he is not a Steph curry Luka or Dame Dolla

The "time horizon" of comparison keeps shifting... "Boston hasn't been battle tested." But then, "Boston chokes in the finals"(aka 2022). Which one is it?

You on that side stay on that side, classic that was a great intro 💪🏻🍀🍀🍀🏆🏆🏆💯👊🏻

The NBA and their "partners", all the bookies with Apps, won't let this go only 4-5 games. Things boutta get shifty. especially after last year and a new TV contract bidding war going on

Lou Will is the ONLY tv personality I saw give the Celtics the win, who wasn’t a Celtics legend. We keeping receipts so I appreciate this video

Dallas bout to get swept

Why'd you put all of those extra scenes in before you started your video input?

Ofcrs he is a heat legendary water boy

Dallas isnt battle tested

a 2-0 deficit isn't the end of the world? it looks like there have been a total of 458 times there was a 2-0 lead in the playoffs. 424 (92.6%) teams who went up 2-0 went on to win the series. 34 (7.4%) teams who trailed 0-2 were able to recover. i suppose it isn't "the end of the world", but with a 7.4% historical success rate what do we call this?

Plus I feel like Tatum does better in the road this post season dallas was never ready

I had Boston at 380 and 350 before the season started and a gentleman sweep before the Finals started. All I know is elecrons

Me and the fellas at work, felt everybody on television and radio were delusional. I don’t know what they watched during the season that made them think Dallas was the better team. It was so much downtime and boredom that they had to make some BS idea that Dallas was the better team. I knew our back court alone was going to give them a problem. We have the two best defense guards in the whole entire league.

And another example of just because you’ve played the game and have the experience doesn’t correlate or mean you can talk basketball. A lot of football analysts throwing in their casual takes on the finals is very glaring as well too and I don’t wanna hear any excuses when it’s all said and done by them. To not realize how bad of a match up this is for Dallas going up against Boston is criminal work 💀

After all the hate the Celtics have received and how the media and haters have jumped on the Mavs bandwagon it's just going to make this championship run even sweeter. This Celtics team is just to well rounded and any player on any given night can step up and be the star. Mavs fans and people who picked the Mavs are just running on hope now. Let's go Celtics! #18🏆☘️

JB was in 2 ECF in a row as a rookie and sophomore both vs Lebrons cavs. A total of 6 in 8 years. Tatum drafted the following year just 1 less. Not battle tested is a joke lol

People say we havent been battle tested like we never went against the warriors in the finals 2 years ago

I think the talking heads in the MSM need to have their salaries cut. They’re all amateurs.

Even I felt Dallas would win because of Luka. However the Boston have really good chemistry and all their players have stepped up. Shared struggle.

I bleed green,been a Celtics fan since 1984,I hope they keep It up,I’m sooooooo ready for banner 18.

Watching sports shows is like still playing NBA 2K in 2024. It's simply not worth the frustration.

can you make a video on how many predictions these NBA "experts" predicted that were wrong esp. nick wrong and haslem

The NBA media needs to be IQ tested... I'm sure their picks were brought to u by DraftKings. 😂

This just proves we can do they job any of us can

Perk. We have not been nervous since game 7 of ECF down 3-0 3-3. Tatum rolls ankle. Then nervous. Jaylen couldn’t carry yet.

Everyone tough when they up

Excellent commentary

We've seen this from Boston plenty of times. They'll do good right at the beginning, then out of nowhere they hit a damn slump right when you need them.

I've never gotten the "Boston is not battle tested" to begin with. Horford, Brown and Tatum have been several ECFs, and played in the Finals against a tough Golden State team. Jrue Holiday won a championship with Milwaukee. Derrick White has at least 40 playoff games and came thru in big moments. The sports media is really all about creating narratives now instead of actually looking at the facts.

You can’t talk about Jrue popping off and ignore that 6 of his shots were assisted by Tatum (12 assists). Jrue was the glue, but JT has been the engine and completely taking advantage of the defensive pressure on him. Nonetheless, Boston can play sooo much better

Doncic, Irving, and Lively, and Washington. The Mavs were a few short of what typically makes a Finals run. It was meant to be the Nuggets, but sadly Mike Malone did not trust his bench enough and gassed his players and lost to an inferior T-Wolves team. But I think they had to work harder against the LakerRefs in the first place, and that didn't help matters.

Playoff experience, finals experience, VETS who know how to win. I just hope Mavs can find a way to win

The thing with sports is anything can happen at anytime to any team or player

Not battled tested is craaazy.. the core has been battle tested the last 5-6 years!

Should have been top two defense! Magic stole the #2 spot after fighting for playoff seeding while the Celtics were literally practicing zone defense lmao

Ironic that UD picked dallas when the core of Tatum, Brown, White, even holiday have battled the Miami Heat for 5 years. Have you seen those dogs play? If you survived Jimmy and crew with their superstar coach in multiple playoff matches, You are as battle tested as they come. Cmon UD.

How can the best team be tested...the record speaks for itself...

These narratives made people bet for mavs , easy money
