Congratulations to Boston Celtics ❤❤❤all around the world 🌎

[@RandallMockoski-wp9he]

Number 19 will be here next year! GO CELTICS!

[@liberty4allplease]

GREAT play by play call. "Pritchard loves these! . . . BANG!!!!" Nailed it!

[@TacitusKilgore165]

Celtics are already a dynasty, they're just adding another banner to the rafters. To continue to reshuffle the deck to rebuild and win championships across multiple generations only Boston and Los Angeles have done it consistently at this level and I think whether or notnyoure a fan of either franchise it's something special to see them lift another banner especially in an era where there's more parity than ever. Congrats again to Celtics huge for the players on this year's squad and the organisation as a whole

[@mrdm1967ify]

Think they'll win it again, next year?.

[@TacitusKilgore165]

@mrdm1967ify I think depending on moves they make over the summer and barring injuries you have to consider them prohibitive favourites but it's tough when you're the champ everyone is gonna be bringing their a game all season and I think somebody like the Knicks could be a really tough challenge in the east and Denver is gonna be back and the wolves are an exciting young franchise but I think it bodes well like I always use like mj and that like 28 years old as sort of like a rough bench mark you look at Lebron Shaq Jordan all won their first ring at 28 so Tatum and Brown being around there slightly younger I think they have a better window to repeat than the 08 Celtics did who were really a win it all now group like that following year KG got hurt and the year after the Lakers were able to win it in 7 so I think they have a better chance to repeat than the 08 Boston team did and I think that's one of the benefits of building a young core through the draft is your window of opportunity is wider than a super team that puts together older vets to win immediately.

[@georgeadkins2824]

​​@@mrdm1967ifythey definitely will compete for it every yr for the next 5 to 10 yrs of course I think they'll get another one maybe make it to a couple more at least all pressure is off now....

[@liberty4allplease]

Only Boston and LA (and Minneapolis)

[@TacitusKilgore165]

@liberty4allplease One of my favourite nba moments is during the 50th anniversary in 97 when Bill Russell helps an aging Mikan (who was having trouble walking and moving) to the stage, absolute pure class moment I don't subscribe to the hate I think the rivalry has helped to elevate both franchises and Im glad for once the future of basketball is bright again in Minny with the new look wolves

[@slickrickc3c668]

Kawhi might get injured on his flight. 😂S A S hilarious!

[@Paidwaytyy]

Yo that had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Elmayimbe703]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-ob2tc5wh1h]

Well he's not lying

[@slickrickc3c668]

Exactly.

[@HermosaFofficial]

😂😂😂😂

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

Even if they don't Repeat, if they get to 4 more Finals in the next 7 years, and win at least 2 of them, that's a dynasty.

[@TheDON914]

They'll repeat

[@chrisranger2370]

Didn’t perk pick Mavs and said Celtics played nobody ?

[@dreamsans62]

The mavs were never deep enough to boston, and boston beat the mavs 4 this past season

[@chrisneedom3275]

Didn’t he also say it was time to break up JT & JB 😅😅😅😅

[@StuTheDon17]

He said a lot. Most of it was incorrect.

[@jahh2x764]

they said nuggets could be the next dynasty lmao !

[@MeanMug_8448]

@jahh2x764... that was an ESPN narrative because Jokic is on their team!! I knew that was bull$hit when they started that madness!!

[@bronxshenanigans5302]

This team is built way better then the nuggets though

[@Daniel-hy8ml]

Looking at the nuggets roster; why would any SANE PERSON see these BOZOS AS A DYNASTY?!?!?!?

[@christopherchester1466]

Denver let its bench walk Celtics bringing everyone back !!!

[@ei3170]

Kahwi is like a barking dog you finally realize you don’t have to worry about

[@jd2616]

Now he has Boston being a dynasty, SAS flips like a fish out of water.

[@georgebanker2669]

They put him in for these situations. Where was the defense?

[@andyvelasquez9488]

I just love living in Boston and having the best franchises in the world! Yea that's right im bragging 😂

[@user-ob2tc5wh1h]

😅😅😅

[@jimmiesmith5590]

So do I

[@edwinflash3800]

My celtics shut everybody up!!!😊

[@duncanwashburn]

Oh NO!!! As a celtic fan, I would feel better if SA had said the celtics would be loosers. He likes to hear himself talk but didn't he say that the others should trust his pick that Dallas was going to win game 3?

[@damionyoung1871]

After all these clowns picked Mavs. Now they are all on the bandwagon talking about how good they are and that they are dynastic.

[@jemaineoliver1833]

I don’t know where Andrea came from, but she is an asset to this show!!🙌

[@edwinflash3800]

So many 2 face people in the media!!!!! 😮😮!

[@mryankee3566]

Kcp should add Boston to his list. That would be unreal

[@OfficialDman]

He’s too expensive for them

[@winfordbr]

.....love these experts! Sound more like politicians everyday😂 Jrue is my favorite nba player, cried when we lost him in NOLA. Congrats Celts!🎉 Enjoy.

[@keertedwards3059]

If you wanted to see denver you should have tell them to get to the finals and not lost. Also we the most consistent team for last 6 years whit the miami heat.

[@knowsmebyname]

I don't think the Celtics are over the srcond apron this year.

[@AbdisamadHussein-ys7ej]

Congrats Celtics we stand with you here in Africa...tho Tatum came a long way lost to worriors now a champion ...Mavs a great team go for championships next season....brown most improved player ...n jrue wat a best player.... One more thing Pritchard got curry worried with his phenomenal long range shooting....wooow

[@TheDON914]

Brown is their impact and best OVERALL player , everything else you said was spot on tho 👌

[@MakeMeAPie]

All those people picked the Mavs...Remember ?

[@mealtix]

Kawhi gonna have to Fold Steven A..lol

[@Big7wardnola]

Poor Bronny is gonna get that same criticism that Lebron gets sad to say

[@barnardkemp9693]

Stephen I don’t give a damn about The contradictions you make, he predict Dallas Mavericks to win🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@richspizzaparty]

Oh now they like the Celtics. ESPN is the worst.

[@chrisrenshaw6372]

Stephen is a clown to say that the Lakers are better because they’ve had more finals appearances that is absolute nonsense. The last time I checked the Celtics have more championships.

[@soniscrazy]

Jrue holiday the real mvp

[@TheDON914]

He's good as a defender sure , he was defending at a high lvl sure but THAT'S IT . he wasn't hitting big clutch shots down the stretch and defending at a high lvl , all he did was defend Brown CLEARS

[@Mo-yd8xc]

Pritchard ran with that ball.

[@TheDON914]

An made it

[@dimitrypierre2683]

Next dynasty if every best player on the east is going to be hurt

[@TheDON914]

Gianni's Embiid an butler got owned by Boston in the playoffs Every year have they not 🤔

[@franciscoj.figueroarivera8337]

He chose them to loose. Now his talking about a DYNASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!!!!!!!

[@jesspayant1667]

It's quite simple. He's a hypocritical idiot. He also doesn't deserve to have this job. Someone wrote a headline about Jeremy Lin and got fired. He dropped an "N bomb" on live tv( without the r) and got to keep his job. My opinion anyway.

[@dimitrypierre2683]

They say anything to get views

[@HaftimeShow]

Talking about a dynasty.. these dudes been working to get here for like 8 years with the same core.. STOP IT! 😂😂😂

[@Ishakazulu]

Same core? Jrue and porzingis was always here, cause I’m confused

[@TheDON914]

Not the same core or coach or GM you got that mixed up bud .

[@HaftimeShow]

@@TheDON914 when you think of Boston over the last 4 - 8 years you think of Tatum and Brown.. to make your point seem valid you mention the coach and GM.. I’m talking about PLAYERS! Ofcourse they added a few pieces but I guess you don’t understand what “core” means..

[@617boston6]

The ballers just took the building. Entertainers and one dimensional players are being exposed. LETS GO CELTICS

[@williamcahill2462]

Ponder this: Celts have no roster needs, so they use their pick on Bronny. Obviously, this has an attachment with Lebron. Many dont know Lebron is a significant partner in the Fenway Sports Group, based in Boston. It is through this sports management team Lebron will launch his Las Vegas ownership bid for 2028. This means Lebron has business motivation to be near his partners more frequently as this deal comes together.. LA had the greatest BUSINESS opportunity up until this NBA ownership opportunity, and Lebron is all business when it comes to his business. For this reason, it makes financial sense for him to make a deal in Boston. Lebron opts to come off the bench so he can play in practice every day with Bronny on the second squad. Of course Lebron will get significant game minutes, but his primary motivation is to play with Bronny. What better way to prep your kid than to join him against the NBA champs every day in practice? Gaining a couple more rings for you and your kud is also a huge plus. As a dad looking to protect and develop my kid, and his legacy, there are not many better spots than Boston. The fans worship the players. The ownership and management is exceptional. They compete every year and presently have the depth to allow Bronny to come along at his pace. Lastly, securing your kid as a champion in the first few yesrs of his career has significance. Is there any doubt they would repeat for as long as Lebron hangs out? Maybe two years? There are Leprechaun green stars aligning, watch out NBA!!! And yes, i know Lebron hates the Celtics, but business is business!

[@StuTheDon17]

Ponder this: The Celtics have no interest in LeBron James joining them because he is a self-centred clown who will disrupt their already perfect team chemistry.

[@williamcahill2462]

@StuTheDon17 while I overall agree with your assessment of Lebron, I think once he joins Bronny, it's going to be all about building up Bronny. Maybe that's just the dad in me speaking, but I believe that to be true. I would do anything for my child to enjoy success, I think LBJ would also. Besides, if they draft Bronny, he's the plus 1. I know it's insane on many levels, but it's fun to toss around. Never thought I'd see any of the following in Celtic green either: Dominique Wilkins, Bob McAdoo, Shaq, Gary Peyton, Pete Maravich, and a few more. Crazy things happen when The Leprechaun starts mixing his brew.

[@TheDON914]

​@williamcahill2462 ponder this FUCK NO 🗑️

[@1990758]

No they are not the next Dynasty.

[@jstorm416]

Why not?

[@TheDON914]

Why not ?

[@essentialeugene]

I don't see the Celtics repeating next year even if they are favored to doing it.

[@TheDON914]

Explain 🤔

[@chuckbrierejr7911]

Steven a smith the AL Shspton of sports talk. Wrong about everything .
