How the Boston Celtics Can Make it to the NBA Finals

The Boston Celtics, behind their two stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and their Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, are looking like a major threat in the Eastern Conference Playoffs after their Game 1 win over Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets. They held Kevin Durant to one of the worst shooting nights we've seen from him recently, and the Boston Celtics defense looks lethal.
Boston has built a really strong contender, with great supporting pieces like Al Horford, Grant Williams, Derrick White, and a slew of competent bench pieces. With Ime Udoka at the helm of the Celtics, the sky is the limit for them to make a deep run to the NBA Finals.

none of this matters, unfortunately the nba is rigged and the 76ers will make it out of the east regardless. get your bets in

[@mshahnazi7636]

I have watched Cs for more than 4 decades, and have never seen their DEFENSE like this even during the “Big Red Head” Dave Cowens, the Larry “Legend” Bird or the Paul Pierce (Truth) and KG (Big Ticket) era. This team’s DEFENSE is special, and the offense is like the unselfish, fluid passing offense of the 1986 Bird team. Get excited Celtics Nation. Banner #18 is getting closer.

[@beamerball666]

I also love how JB&JT are playing off of each other and taking over 4th quarters right now

[@theycallmewudu]

Possibly, Boston is legit. I love how physical and gritty they are on defense. Udoka made such a impressive impact to the C’s. Gotta give him his flowers for sure 🔥✊🏿

[@rvey]

JT guarding durant and making him miss shots shows how great he is. Waiting for the moment he seizes an MVP and a Championship as well.

[@moffo2626]

@@bostoncelticsbostonceltics7235 true that. Seems like it’s their time now. Hopefully robert williams comes back in good shape so that they’ll be even better.

[@enokaaka1123]

Brooklyn's Game 2 meltdown was crazy. The way the Celtics shut down Kyrie and KD to come back in the 4th was the kind of playoff drama I live for. Watching Dragic carry the Nets shows how talented that guy is. GW was doing the same thing for the C's for the 1st half. Pritch in the 4th was 🔥🔥.

[@thetoadoftheturf7516]

I really hope you're right. I'd love to see another Boston championship!

[@kevinsullivan617]

I’m also surprised that Tatum and brown don’t get more credit for the turn around and evolving their games !! Cause I don’t think ppl realize how hard it really is at their level to break bad habits!!! Specially cause those bad habits usually are what got them to this point in their careers!! So I say standing ovations to both young men!! Very impressive the discipline and heart it takes to do what they did this year shows you the men they are going to be in this league!

Celtics are going to go all the way this year. They are built perfectly, really fun to watch.

[@CaptainProx]

I think Grant Williams has been underrated in this series as of game 3, his defense is what's impressed me the most and he's done a tremendous job at switching onto Kevin Durant and not getting beat He deserves all the credit in the world for that alome

[@aubreyrogers5264]

Fr people think they can attack Williams cuz hes a chunky and slow guy but hes becoming an elite defender

Marcus Smart won the championship DPOY. But does winning a championship define DPOY I never understood why they don’t wait till the season is over to grant the tittle. Because what if now Draymond Green gets a crazy block for the chamionship. Just a scenario to what I’m trying to point out.

[@rvey]

Imagine if the 76ers didn’t trade up the draft and got JT instead. I bet they would have gotten a championship with a trio of JT, Simmons and Embiid. Sheesh.

[@Yucagigna]

i think the celtics were planning on getting him anyway with the 1st pick

[@rvey]

@@Yucagigna true, if just maybe the 1st pick by the 76ers was used on JT man that would have been insane, but right now JT leading Boston to a 2-0 lead against the Nets shows this team is nothing to scoff at.

[@holstorrsceadus1990]

Boston was always going to take Tatum. The only things Philly could have done better was not trade up and not draft Fultz. Getting Tatum was never an option.

[@kevinsullivan617]

Right on about the defense brotha and exactly why I say timelord coming back is their blood bath because with him in the paint they can now focus on the perimeter lockdown defense against curry Irving and Durant so I don’t see it getting any easier for nets! In fact as bad as our offense has been I see it getting a lot worse and embarrassing even

[@DerrickBoldewijn]

I'm looking at KD and Kyrie playing the worst playoff basketball of their carreer. I'm looking at the Nets being a bad defensive team. I'm looking at Boston being a great defensive team. I'm looking at Udoka being a much better coach than Nash. All of these things and the Nets lost 4 games with a combined less than 30 points. I don't think Boston is on a championship level yet. Milwaukee is great defensively and offensifely, they are well coached and have experience. Boston will not get passed Milwaukee. Of course, hoping Middleton gets back. If he doesn't Boston has a chance

[@The4AMChannel]

milwaukee is awfully coached and they’re only held up by the greatness of giannis coach bud lost the celtics series because of his awful decision making

[@FxVoidz]

I just think it's funny people keep overlooking the celtics even after go up 2-0. People saying "well KD doesn't have 2 bad games in a row so game 3 is theirs". Like did you not see game 1 and game 2. This isn't just KD shooting bad the celtics are making him very uncomfortable on the court. Is KD going to figure out how to get easier shots? Possibly, but i don't think it comes down to him just shooting bad. I don't know if the celtics can go all the way but I think the celtics match up against every team in the NBA. I mean they have a starting 5 who are all above average defenders not to mention 2 good defenders off the bench in Grant Williams and Derrick white. Also good video I enjoyed watching it.
