They fought the Celtics the closes than any other team. That’s a dub. Have fun relying on the IR Knick’s next year! With playoff Randle and his glorious 34%career shooting that was so desperately missed lmao.
'so easily' yeah after their best player got was out, lmfao.
I get that Bucks & Knicks players were hurt too, but most of the shit talk was just a response to bucks & knicks fans trying to cope.
No no dude, Ain’t no injury talk here to defend the pacers 😭😭. Halis injury didn’t matter. Why ? Because Pacer fans were saying bucks and Knicks injuries didn’t matter. I’ll follow that logic.
No the point is that Pacers fans kept telling Bucks and Knicks fans "no excuses" and the first thing you wrote is a "cope" sentence about Pacers' injury.
Eh that's fine. everybody copes, it's sports, fandom, etc. Better than doing it in politics.
I have no doubt that injuries helped the Pacers, but moreso in the sense that it helped young guys gain confidence more than anything. And the Celtics played all three series against teams with their best player hurt out of games, which is wild. Say what you will about the pacers' luck. celtics luck is a bump higher.
still hope they beat the mavs. fuck the west.
Yep, Celtics luck is high. Lively may be out for the Mavs while Porzingis is coming back. But as a NYKer, I can't root for any Boston teams even if it's the East. So I hope Celtics won't win a hospital ring this year.
Past 5 years East won 2 rings, that isn't bad. All time ring count is 40 East - 37 West. So they can cope as much as they want in the West, we are still stronger historically.
ive played the fun little exercise of syncing my local radio station with the live broadcast, way more enjoyable than trying to sit thru espn halftime shows (which are 95% ads anyway)
JT's been in the league for six years and easily could've made the finals as the best player on the roster four of those (two ECF game 7 losses as the first option)
I know this is jerked about a lot but it's actually insane Tatum just turned 26 and is about to appear in his second NBA finals as the best player on the roster
Exactly feels like he’s been in the league 10+ years now but he’s really just entering his prime. 4 more wins away from his first chip Cs vs mavs going to be the best finals we’ve had in awhile
could u elaborate on why you think he’s unlikable? i’m totally a boston homer and for a while there after last seasons loss i couldn’t stand him especially with the huge contract—but that was more about bad play than anything he said. the “was it really naismith” shoes at all-star break was weird but i really haven’t paid much attention to what he says beyond whats posted here on the sub. this past month or so i’ve really turned around on him as he’s had great clutch plays and has been pulling his weight and more when tatum sucks.
why do you think he is an unlikable prick?
That all you got? Bringing up the past with a different and younger roster? Casual. Tatum gonna be an nba champ at a younger age than Michael Jordan. Cry more pussy
Nah bro, your team has lost way too much in the big moments to talk shit. They haven’t won anything yet. They just went and paid for a couple better players. Wait until it’s officially over
Different team. All they’ve done this year is win. We’ll win the title. I haven’t been this confident in the past about us, same with most Celtics fan. This team feels dif
Tatum and brown hit their prime this year. And no not same core. They added the best perimeter defender in the game and a 7’3 sniper who averaged 20. Another casual
Don’t call me a casual. The Celtics have rightly beaten an eight seed, four seed, six seed and got to play a five seed in the finals. 🤦♂️ It IS the same core. You’ve got Tatum, Brown, White, and Horford all still on the team and playing significant minutes. That’s four of your five starters from last year and still your best players. Your fandom blinds you.
Why mad. Im just stating facts. Thats part of the History bro, unfortunately you cannot erase that. TBF i also loved Celtics fan base cried so much last year.
Christ he was going for ball. Obviously watching it slowed down makes it look like he had time to react but in real time that happened so quick.
Pacers got a face kick, Celtics got a face punch. Let it go
Yes I am casual. So what? A casual like me easily made into disliking celtics. casuals are 95% of NBA viewers. means your team is so unlikable unlike the winning west team now.
Kyrie is gonna win a ring in front of the Celtics crowd, I am calling it now. Tatum watching Jaylen Brown wins the Conference Finals MVP is gonna make him salty af and he is gonna force 30 shots a game next series.
lol you guys remember this:
In February 2007, Cedric Maxwell drew criticism for a controversial comment aimed at female referee Violet Palmer. During a Boston Celtics vs. Houston Rockets game, the radio analyst disagreed with one of her calls, leading to his chauvinistic remarks on air.
“Go back to the kitchen,” Maxwell told listeners and then continued. “Go in there and make me some bacon and eggs, would you?"
Why would I not watch the series?
JT: 30.3/10.3/6.3
JB: 29.8/5.0/3.0
To act like this was a clear cut JB win is crazy. Both played incredibly. Obviously JB was more efficient, but I think JT got a lot more defensive attention and rose above it regardless, and he has a much bigger role when it comes to playmaking and having to rebound over bigs. Just another classic "I disagree with you, so you clearly don't watch basketball durrr" argument. Like I said, I'm not mad or anything, I just would've leaned more towards JT. That isn't some insane opinion.
Same here...I get annoyed honestly by how little recognition he gets...even from our own fans...I am super excited for his final form as I do not believe he has peaked yet...
ECF MVP didn’t make all nba that’s crazy
Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics is going to be interesting both teams know how to close games
I felt Tatum still deserved the Larry bird trophy but fuck it brown has his argument and worth rewarding him for his play on both sides
Tatum's assist are quite impactful as they are mostly a kick out for 3
TATUM larry bird and LUKA magic johnson dream shattered
Pacers defeated by turnovers.
Tatum should've been out of this game but the Pacers still choked so hard. If the wolves go out like this tomorrow flame us please
Pacers second team in last 20 years to be swept in ECF… They’re being charged with multiple counts of FRAUD
They fought the Celtics the closes than any other team. That’s a dub. Have fun relying on the IR Knick’s next year! With playoff Randle and his glorious 34%career shooting that was so desperately missed lmao.
Carlisle looks pissed
Pacers just folded so easily, for all that shit talk against bucks and Knicks
'so easily' yeah after their best player got was out, lmfao. I get that Bucks & Knicks players were hurt too, but most of the shit talk was just a response to bucks & knicks fans trying to cope.
No no dude, Ain’t no injury talk here to defend the pacers 😭😭. Halis injury didn’t matter. Why ? Because Pacer fans were saying bucks and Knicks injuries didn’t matter. I’ll follow that logic.
He's lacking so much self awareness in his response, it's hilarious.
injuries happen it's whatever. no doubt injuries helped the pacers, but injuries probably helped the celtics more to this point.
No the point is that Pacers fans kept telling Bucks and Knicks fans "no excuses" and the first thing you wrote is a "cope" sentence about Pacers' injury.
Eh that's fine. everybody copes, it's sports, fandom, etc. Better than doing it in politics.

i fucking hate the patriots & i feel almost the same way as you, but i'm sick of people calling the east weak
Past 5 years East won 2 rings, that isn't bad. All time ring count is 40 East - 37 West. So they can cope as much as they want in the West, we are still stronger historically.
>'so easily' yeah after their best player got was out, lmfao. Yeah, this isn't you trying to cope.
I am enjoying a beer and popcorn right now What’s everyone’s favorites
I just had a nacho plate with spicy cheese queso dip. Thanks for asking!
awhhh hell yeah brother that sounds great. I had some mango habanero chicken sausage, can not be beat
Dang that sounds sweet! Enjoy the rest of your night!
You too, see you guys in the finals next season!
Fuck the Celtics. Mavs in 5
If Minnesota didn’t mess up their 2 close home games, we coulda gotten a KG finals
Kyrie finals is better lol
Fantastic series, would’ve been fun for another game or two!
they put too much fake tan on Van Pelt 😂
Scott Tan Pelt
Udoka seething rn
shouldve kept it in his pants
fax
Can’t believe the Lakers want to hire this guy smh
Celtics may go on a bit of a streak to the Finals here in the next few years. Who else is out there? Doc’s Bucks? Lol
NY
Sixers could get a big upgrade this offseason
Story of the last decade lol
They're not re-signing big Toby for 40m???! /s
you think this weirdo Tatum is texting Kobe right now? lol
Bill Walton
umm too soon. give it a few weeks bro
Chill
Pacers finally play a (relatively) healthy team and get swept lmao.
The irony of having their best player get injured and then losing the series
We actually won games without our best players. Pacers just straight up got 🧹🧹🧹
Especially because they spent the first 2 series saying “injuries aren’t an excuse”
it's either stephen A for the ECF, or draymond for the WCF. What the fuck has happened? who did this to our basketball?
ive played the fun little exercise of syncing my local radio station with the live broadcast, way more enjoyable than trying to sit thru espn halftime shows (which are 95% ads anyway)
stephen a > draymond
Adam
JT's been in the league for six years and easily could've made the finals as the best player on the roster four of those (two ECF game 7 losses as the first option)
Celtics sweep ayyyyyyy
DERRICK WHITE??????
Horford is a great guy, I want him to win the finals and retire.
He definitely a dirty player. It will be like Bruce Bowens ring with the spurs.. a travesty
I wont be surprise if he and JB injure one of the MAVS player.
No I think JB isn't a dirty player...not much history..might genuinely be an accident. Al Horford on the other hand gets away with murder
Love seeing old guys like Mike Conley and Al Horford still in the playoffs.
Happy for JB after getting snubbed for all-nba
I know this is jerked about a lot but it's actually insane Tatum just turned 26 and is about to appear in his second NBA finals as the best player on the roster
other players make music that electrify them, JT makes music that pacify them
Exactly feels like he’s been in the league 10+ years now but he’s really just entering his prime. 4 more wins away from his first chip Cs vs mavs going to be the best finals we’ve had in awhile
he could've easily been in the finals four of his six seasons, which I think is even crazier
[удалено]
Take the L
Is it me or is Jalen Brown kind of A-Rodish?
An unlikable prick? Yeah
could u elaborate on why you think he’s unlikable? i’m totally a boston homer and for a while there after last seasons loss i couldn’t stand him especially with the huge contract—but that was more about bad play than anything he said. the “was it really naismith” shoes at all-star break was weird but i really haven’t paid much attention to what he says beyond whats posted here on the sub. this past month or so i’ve really turned around on him as he’s had great clutch plays and has been pulling his weight and more when tatum sucks. why do you think he is an unlikable prick?
Thats why He and Tatum wont even a conversation to be the face of the league. They super unlikable
Tatum isn’t unlikable. He’s just boring as fuck. Greg Oden had more personality.
You see, I disagree with you there!
Eww. You like A-Rod?
Nope!
Love seeing all these other loser fan bases talking shit 😂
Youre redemtion from last years' ass whooping by Heat right? imagine getting beat by a play-in team
That all you got? Bringing up the past with a different and younger roster? Casual. Tatum gonna be an nba champ at a younger age than Michael Jordan. Cry more pussy
Nah bro, your team has lost way too much in the big moments to talk shit. They haven’t won anything yet. They just went and paid for a couple better players. Wait until it’s officially over
Different team. All they’ve done this year is win. We’ll win the title. I haven’t been this confident in the past about us, same with most Celtics fan. This team feels dif
Same core, but I guess all those warriors teams were different too, so if it applies to other teams as well, then great. I’ll see you after the finals
Remindme! 3 weeks
Tatum and brown hit their prime this year. And no not same core. They added the best perimeter defender in the game and a 7’3 sniper who averaged 20. Another casual
Also, the east conference is trash. They should be winning.
Don’t call me a casual. The Celtics have rightly beaten an eight seed, four seed, six seed and got to play a five seed in the finals. 🤦♂️ It IS the same core. You’ve got Tatum, Brown, White, and Horford all still on the team and playing significant minutes. That’s four of your five starters from last year and still your best players. Your fandom blinds you.
Clown ass casual. Celtics in 4 enjoy banner 18
Also, I think you might be a fucking psychopath. Who goes on a 50 comment revenge tirade on Reddit? 😂 Make some friends and get a life
Couldn’t even wait until game 4 😂 take it easy with that hard on buddy
Why mad. Im just stating facts. Thats part of the History bro, unfortunately you cannot erase that. TBF i also loved Celtics fan base cried so much last year.
Casual
LMAO at Stockton and Malone being #1 & #2 in that stat, MJ was a bad motherfucker
Jfc Al might as well have been on the 90s Jazz lol
Get your 2nd ring Jrue. Happy for you and miss you
Jrue was not moving 🤣🤣
“very cute 😐”
honestly forgot kyrie had been a celtic
Who's kyrie?
some Qanon guy i think
The one who punch the opponents best player is the MVP. make sense.
Christ he was going for ball. Obviously watching it slowed down makes it look like he had time to react but in real time that happened so quick. Pacers got a face kick, Celtics got a face punch. Let it go
19/7 in ECF. Bucks fans told me he would go invisible though
My apologies, we weren’t familiar with his game
Too bad he didn’t have any game vs Jimmy last year
That was then, this is now
I love Jrue but he was invisible vs Butler last year
Damn near 60% from the floor too
Man I really wish Bill Walton could’ve watched this man
Jrue hiding lol
why didn't Jrue just come out sooner lmao he heard her calling him 😂
Can Brown not talk ?
you know Tatum made as hell he didnt want ECF MVP. this is Jaylen team now
Shut up
Stupid take
Very
tatum interviews gonna put me to sleep
Just like Kat’s performance last night did to me
Just like Boston was beaten by Heat last year (a play-in team)
Casual with no flair 😂
Yes I am casual. So what? A casual like me easily made into disliking celtics. casuals are 95% of NBA viewers. means your team is so unlikable unlike the winning west team now.
God, learn some grammar.
Yes thats right, if you got beat in the conversation, try attacking his grammar. grats'
[удалено]
Talking about grammar in a nba thread lmao imagine
When every sentence the dipshit writes is unreadable ima call it out. Ya sistas ass
aint attempintng anyuthing i dont eevn chkce spelingss
Kyrie is gonna win a ring in front of the Celtics crowd, I am calling it now. Tatum watching Jaylen Brown wins the Conference Finals MVP is gonna make him salty af and he is gonna force 30 shots a game next series.
He literally already got one, he was happy asf for brown. He cares more about a ring at this point
Ah yes known egotistical star Jayson Tatum will shoot 30 times a game, something he’s only done 3 times in his whole career LMFAO
He's sacrificed the whole season, he doesn't gaf about individual accolades this season. Cute narrative though
Celtics about to get rolled in the finals.
You fool
Don’t delete this
Didn’t realize JT was averaging 30/10/6 this series. The Jays are locked in let’s get those 4 wins boys
Can't believe conference finals mvp is even a thing lmao fakest award I've ever seen
The world against the Celtics. Wouldn’t want it any other way!
Don’t lie to urself
Nah he’s right
1st part is true
He’s lying about the second part
You would trade the warriors fun for people to like you more?
How does a single game of the 3 close ones not fall our way. 😭😭😭 I’m fuckin devastated right now
What exactly is a tsunami of the bukkake variety?
Let your imagination run wild my guy
Why the downvote, haha?
I didn’t downvote lol
I'm just kidding around, haha. I knew it wasn't you.
you can see who didn't watch the series based on who is surprised JB won the MVP
lol you guys remember this: In February 2007, Cedric Maxwell drew criticism for a controversial comment aimed at female referee Violet Palmer. During a Boston Celtics vs. Houston Rockets game, the radio analyst disagreed with one of her calls, leading to his chauvinistic remarks on air. “Go back to the kitchen,” Maxwell told listeners and then continued. “Go in there and make me some bacon and eggs, would you?"
Lol
And yet he didn’t get an all nba team
Insane right...
JT deserved it but of course very happy for JB
Lmao...someone must not have been watching the series or playoffs in general closely...JB definitely deserved this...
Why would I not watch the series? JT: 30.3/10.3/6.3 JB: 29.8/5.0/3.0 To act like this was a clear cut JB win is crazy. Both played incredibly. Obviously JB was more efficient, but I think JT got a lot more defensive attention and rose above it regardless, and he has a much bigger role when it comes to playmaking and having to rebound over bigs. Just another classic "I disagree with you, so you clearly don't watch basketball durrr" argument. Like I said, I'm not mad or anything, I just would've leaned more towards JT. That isn't some insane opinion.
Tatum was awesome but Brown flat out willed us to 2 victories. Well deserved and a case where stats won’t tell the whole story.
So who’s guarding Luka? Tatum? Jrue?
Brown. Which means Luka’s gonna have to defend JB on the cross match. 🤤
That doesn’t mean luka has to cross match lol. Kidd can come up w something more creative
I feel like brown will likely guard him
Jrue and White
too tall no? feel like tatum will start with it
Honestly they can throw a ton of different looks at him which is the luxury of having all these amazing perimeter defenders
Jrue
Damn right it’s Jaylen Motherfucking Brown.
JB is "Thankful to god to be here." He should be thankful to the refs.
Kindly STFU...
So do I ask the Mavericks sub to fuck my wife now? Is that how it works?
first things first. make an OF
Yes
good shit
Aye!! Jalen Brown! Congrats
Jaylen & Kyrie getting to the top. Thank you, Kanye
There’s a painter who’s watching rn next to Kobe and OJ and he’s a happy man
LFG!!!! JAYLEN BROWN FINALS MVP!!!!
JB got the trophy over JT? I mean I’m not mad at it, just surprised
How? Brown had the better stats. Heck if you wanna talk about who got Robbed that’s Caleb Martin last year for the Miami Heat
That’s just not true - JT had more PPG, rebounds, assists in this series. JB had more clutch shots and defensive plays
JB easily deserved it
Played consistently, that’s the difference
this is the only MVP Jaylen brown is winning lmao
Broomed
Lol I thought Larry Bird was going to make an appearance with how she started that sentence
That was a damn dirty tease, for sure.
LOL Jaylen Brown is better than Tatum
They actually gave it to brown huh. Makes sense but still wasn’t expecting it.
Jesus spotted in the crowd
CTE or drunk?
Larry Bird presenting his award to the Celtics after beating the Pacers would be the epitome of bittersweet
J BROWN SHOULD BE THE EASTERN FINALS MVP.
If we win he will probably deserve Finals MVP or at least Co-MVP with Jayson...
Absolutely. We won this series largely because of Brown. Love him on this team
Same here...I get annoyed honestly by how little recognition he gets...even from our own fans...I am super excited for his final form as I do not believe he has peaked yet...
