So everyone's just gonna pretend Brown was the only defender? What about Holiday and White? These guys are so underrated for their defensive efforts.

@flexermc4333 this is a casual take the Celtics Have Two Superstars in Brown and Tatum then they have Solid Role Players

@@malikwilson7387 Tatum = multiple all star, Brown = multiple all star, Holiday = multiple all star+ selected for the olympics, Porzingis= All star, White = border line all star and potential replacement for Kawhi in the Olympics. And i'm not even counting Horford who had 6 All-stars. Just because they play their role doesn't mean they aren't all star caliber players

No jrue holiday is a role player and other than game 1 porzingis wasn’t even healthy and white is a role player that not a super team there both defensive mind gaurds and Tatum and brown played well passing to get them opportunity because Dallas dared them to make plays and pass and they did well

@@flexermc4333 this is a horrible take you're one of those casual fans that see names and assumes everyone is a star kristaps is a role player same for Jrue they are very good role players

Porzingis wasn’t health and white and jrue a role player hoford a role player their good role player the difference was brown and Tatum was more impactful passing defense and rebounding than Luka and kyrie that was the difference because white and jrue went off because brown and Tatum made plays for them

It's silly how you guys are acting like KP isn't one of the most injury prone players ever. And it makes sense that he is with his body type. Counting on having KP in playoff runs is like counting on having Embiid. As in, if you need that to compete (which you will with Horford retirining or declining) then your chances are iffy at best. And if they have to play a healthy Embiid or Freak (let's not even mention Joker) then who is guarding them? I still have the Cs as the best in the east but they need to solve their center problem.

You make a point but I would rather have Turner over KP just cos KP is injury prone..

@@Solo2121 well have same people gaurding embiid as we did last year in game 7 holding him to like 15 points, and giannias itll either be tatum, al, or kp

@@chauvintookaknee4blm268no one is “shook” lmao

Not to understate the impact of the J's. But in these playoffs the Celtics won EVERY game that was close. Especially against Indiana, there were wins up for grabs in 3 out of the 4 games, but we took every single one of those wins. I have to credit Jrue Holiday as the biggest difference between this year's team and those of past years. Both White and Holiday have no idea what it means to choke or even tighten up. They just keep playing crazed defense, steal rebounds, hit 3's, and do whatever it takes for a team to win. They are incredible.

@@Ironfangzu The Celtics were great in the off-season, but the Pacers definitely threw away 2 of those games. The undisciplined turnovers and horrible inbound plays/sets killed them

@@supwititproductionz3738 And the Celtics took advantage of it by not throwing away any games.

Shame they didn’t really play anybody tough, The East was a piece of piss especially with the injuries and Dallas and especially Luka were spent after going through the clippers, Okc and Minnesota. Such a shame Denver couldn’t get to the finals as Boston have zero answer for the joker

Yes, but adding D. White 2 years ago was the start.

NBA Champions. World Champs of none.

I pray for a Ben Wallace video on this channel 🙏

Agree

or a Legendary Teams series too! seeing what group of guys really had the best season/seasons possible would be cool

Ak47 will definitely get a video

Yes in the 3rd and 4th Qtr, as the Mavs were trying to close the gap, all the Celtics but especially Holiday kept getting rebound after rebound. If I were a Mavs fan I think I would have torn all my hair out. Every rebound meant another possession for the Celtics, and time that the offense of the Mavs couldn't afford. Sure enough, the Celts just kept that same 18-21 point gap until there were about 4 minutes to go. There was no single dagger play. We just didn't give them a chance to catch up. Finally they knew it was over and gave up. Such a stress free win, haha

thats not what the media was saying tho i hope those people keep that same energy they were giving the celtics

That shot should've been called for travelling, but refs don't even care about travelling no more. And for what I see, must fans also don't care about the rules.

@@AverageGuy28You’re right. But C’s still won by 18. It wouldn’t have made a difference.

@@AverageGuy28 They haven't called traveling since about 2002.

exactly - they were fully 14 games ahead of the 2d seed in the east. Any of those teams beating them in a 7-game series was a severe longshot, requiring an extended breakdown by boston, something avoided the entire season, it was extremely unlikely to happen. I'd be shocked if any of those series went past 6 games.

I think you are making the same mistake on the other side of the scale. It was very weak comp buy they were also far ahead of everyone in the east. Like the record during the regular season is effected by schedual

This stretches back into the regular season, where the East was being mocked as being horrifically weak, when in reality each team was going to lose at least one game to the Celtics. It was still a little weaker than the West imo but having a historically good team on that side is gonna be hard on any conference. People were saying the Celtics wouldn't even be in the playoffs in the west.

Almost every series in the west would go 6-7 if Boston was in the west… they went against teams that was down star players, superstars at that. Congrats to Boston but if they faced teams that Is at least close to star studded as the Celtics, I can see them losing every time

@@StayINCheckthey just beat the western conference champions in 5. What kind of logic is that?

Hauser is quietly a very good defender per NBA stats.

White and Curry play nothing alike

@@jordancromwell true but it's funny so who cares

​@michaelschaefer1904 He's a decent sharp shooter too.

I mean you are right but when he did have to guard Luka he got COOKED. Like straight line drives. It's not toxic to say that he was terrible in his one on one matchups and that is a part of defense.

​@@Solo2121clearly I would take Tatum over Luka when it comes to defense. it's not even close.

Yeah and everyone's acting like Tatum was trash the entire series, like he wasn't being doubled and sometimes tripled and being forced into the playmaker role and setting up the others on the team to score. Brown especially.

@@Solo2121 But see this is exactly what I mean, and I dont mean that I believe you are being toxic at all, but others out there are for sure. . Defense is not just guarding someone 1on1 in iso and counting how many shots go in or not. We seen Tatum do this before to KD in ‘22. The reason Tatum was not doing the same now that he did then is not because he wasnt good defensively, its because the team’s defensive schemes are different because whats required to shut down ‘24 Dallas and to shut down ‘22 Brooklyn is entirely different schematically, and Tatum was asked to do radically different things in both series. . In this series, Jaylen was tasked as the primary on-ball defender on Luka and was awesome, S+. He done better than we’ve seen anyone try in Luka’s whole career, including Kawhi. Brown deserves all the credit for his defensive effort on the ball on Luka and Kyrie, nothing at all to take away from him there. . But some have tried to argue that, because Tatum was not guarding them on-ball this series, or that when he was he was “getting cooked”, that JT was nowhere near as impactful on defense as JB was, as if there was a huge gap defensively. This take is asinine. Tatum was probably the biggest reason defensively why Dallas’ offense as a whole struggled to break 100 points in their 4 losses because of JT’s ability to guard Dallas’ centers. By placing him on their centers, it schematically shut down Luka’s and Kyrie’s ability to find easy lobs all series long through their 1-5 PnR offense (which they had major success spamming through the whole western conference). . This defensive scheme was only possible because of Tatum’s size and ability to guard centers on and off the ball as well as switch onto any guard at any time. Because of this, if Dallas wanted to hunt Horford or Porzingis in the PnR, they wouldnt get their center rolling to the rim for a lob, it would be DJJ or PJ, and Tatum would be there in help to prevent the lob pass. And because of the lob pass being taken away by Tatum, this allowed Jrue and White to almost solely focus on preventing kickout corner 3s. So because of Tatum’s ability to be so impactful off the ball, the 2 most effective plays in Dallas’ playbook, the lob and the kickout corner 3, were suddenly completely unavailable all series long. *Its not possible to take away BOTH as effectively as Boston did in these finals if Tatum was not capable of filling this crucial role defensively* . So yes Brown did an S+ job for shutting down Luka and Kyrie *ON THE BALL AS SCORERS,* but Tatum also deserves recognition for doing an S+ job for shutting down Luka and Kyrie *OFF THE BALL AS PASSERS.* Both JT and JB were hugely instrumental in completely shutting down Dallas’ offense, they just both did it in different, yet equally important, ways.

@@PaM07675 100% this. So much of Tatum's game goes without praise because people simply don't see all the things he's doing on an elite level. Box scores sort of ruin the game in a way.

I feel like there is one helio title and one balanced title per decade. In the 2020s it was the '22 Warriors and '24 Celtics respectively. The '23 Nuggets are a borderline helio team but I consider Murray a legit independent weapon. In the 2010s it was the '11 Mavs and '14 Spurs. In the 2000s it was the '03 Spurs and '04 Pistons.

@@somerandomguy84 I actually don’t consider the warriors a heliocentric team. They do have one big time star, yes, but heliocentric is an astronomy term that describes a galaxy that orbits around a central star. In nba terms, everything revolves around that player. > Their usage rate - which measures how often a possession ends with them - is extremely high. > Their potential assists, which measures how often they possess the ball and pass it right before someone else takes a shot, is also high. Both those stats combined describe a player that is the center of the orbit. They’re either taking the shot themselves, or passing it to someone else who immediately shoots. Luka, for example, is #1 in usage (of players with 1000+ minutes player) and #3 in potential assists. Giannis is #3 and #11. Steph though, is 8th in usage rate and like 52nd in potential assists. In my opinion, that supports how much of an OFF-BALL phenom he is. He works tirelessly off ball but he doesn’t necessarily possess and pass/shoot the ball at a high rate. In other words, Steph orbits around other players almost as much as they orbit around him, it’s two-way. To your point, Jokic is similar in that way too, but slanted towards playmaking over shooting. But you see a lot of possessions where he simply sets a screen, or someone passes it to him at the nail and he immediately redirects it to someone else along the baseline. Those types of players are really dangerous because they are such great overall players, but they enable a team ball that gets everyone involved within each play and doesn’t have a lot of guys standing around waiting to get a pass their way if the main star gets trapped. I think the guy that probably qualifies here for you would be the Lakers 2020 with Lebron. #1 in the NBA in potential assists that year. That’s 54% of his teams total assists, an insane number. It’s basically him, a gap, and then a bunch of point guards like Harden, Luka, and Trae.

At least it’s not as bad as KD to the 16 warriors 😅

only way tatum was ever gona win a title was having an actual all star team around him no cap

If only they could have kept Smart to win with them

They basically got 2 all stars on top of Tatum and Brown and White. In jrue and porzingis

@@lebronjamesfromdwade4103 if porzingus was healthy all playoffs it kind of would be

Fire name

Agreed. Also, I’d imagine there was a pretty big gap for the 2022 warriors. To me that team was constructed more like the 2011 Mavs or 2003 spurs. It’s not that Steph had no help but it’s reasonable to say he had less scoring help than a typical title team

@@somerandomguy84Wiggins and JPoole both played out of there minds and avg almost 20PPG and so did Klay that’s 3 18PPG+ players that’s a lot of help

In terms of output sure but in terms of raw impact and defensive attention there’s a decent case that he had less help. Only Poole cracked +2 obpm in that run

​​​@@davis2k1234 that's basically the 2011 Mavericks per 75 both Dirk and Curry were forced to average about 29 points a game (Curry also was second in assists). Terry and Poole both averaged 22 and Barea and Wiggins both averaged 19 and Marion and Klay both averaged 18.

@@jamalwalker Moreover, Looney was the only other Warrior besides Curry to crack +3 in overall bpm. And Looney played a mere 20 mpg.

Good luck with what? You sure they will EVER have that 7'3" 3 point sniper in any playoff run? Boston is super legit but acting like the KP injury problem isn't a problem is wild. If Al retires or just declines even more as expected of a 38 yo then the spacing is gone. And KP is already having surgery and will be out "months".

@@Solo2121 so your only hope is that Porzingis gets hurt. and even if he does we still will win. I agree that the Celtics need big man depth but like...at minimum thats gonna be the 6th best player on the roster. Brad is a genius and he is going to get an undervalued guy again. And the Celtics are always going to have god-tier spacing, whether or not their center can stretch the floor. JB and JT can collapse the defense too easily and White and Jrue are excellent shooters who punish aggressive closeouts. The point is that Boston is an incredibly well constructed team...that can miss an all-star caliber player throughout the whole playoffs and still dominate. Meanwhile you got other teams crying abt their role players getting hurt. Just be better. its simple

Luckily for the NBA they will only exist for another year. lol

Suddenly everyone forgets that the Celtics played every Eastern Conference team with injuries to those team's best players. No Jimmy Butler, some Donovan Mitchell, a little bit of Tyrese Haliburton. That's not like the Celtics losing Porzingis. That'd be like the Celtics losing Tatum.

That was hilarious 😆

@@RenaldyCalixte knicks whole offense in Brunson. They do NOT fit

@@tomi2x180 I'm talking about the 1994 Knicks not the 2024 Knicks.

I wasnt worried about Denver just because Jokic and Gordon and to a lesser degree Porter Jr arent going to be able to stop JB and JT who would have put it on the floor and got around them at will if that was the game they had to play

I was worried about the Timberwolves, to be fair. Their defensive coverage is good and they seemed to play much less iso ball than the Mavs despite losing that series. I think Celtics-Wolves would've been an all-time classic series, unlike what we got

Youre probably the first non celtics fan to have the ability to look at this from a cleaner perspective 😂😅 respect. Also, very well put. Superstar power doesnt win you championships, a good team does.

Totally and the 1994 Sonics were like that too. They really should’ve done it. The year they finally did break thru they had to play MJ lmao

that bosh guy was a scrub and all those elite role players were shit

Which is cool as ever lol

Although teams always overreact to winning, I still think Jokic is who they are building against, especially in the West. Boston's run was excellent but they never faced a team where they had to adjust all the time and even be wrong when they made the right decision. Jokic and Curry are probably the only two that would have tested them to their limit, hence next year we need to see a series between Denver and Boston like it should have been in the last two years. It is impressive though that in the last three years they have been the best team all round in the NBA.

@@sskmanentsa5326 yea I think a team like the nuggets def could challenge them. I’m a bit biased as a knicks fan but I think the Knicks, wolves, and okc r also all teams that have the role player quality to play with the Celtics and give them a run

It's always possible and there have been a few teams that have been swept in the finals.

They lost to Miami in game 2 and Porzingis got injured in game 3. Took the Heat an all-time 3pt% playoff game record to do so, tho.
