[@trollking4058]

@@Kevinschart You gotta remember that Kyrie was going through it off the court that season. His grandfather was dying at the time and the press nagging him over and over didn't really help his mental state.

[@lovelyusadotcom]

kyrie is the most hated player in the NBA and it’s extremely weird to me. anything he does gets absolutely blown out of proportion for no reason. I will never in my life understand the immense amount of hate he gets for wanting to be a normal guy outside of basketball. Anytime he talks to the media it gets twisted and goes thru the wringer and comes out on TV as something totally different than what he actually meant. Social media enables everyone to believe they know these players, not just kyrie but all these NBA players on a personal level when they don’t know anything about these guys personal life or mental struggles. NBA fans think that just because these guys get paid so much they should just suck it up and do whatever the fans want. It’s weird, the internet is weird. We are all behind a screen, we don’t know anything about these guys besides what the media says but nobody seems to realize that.

[@Edward-ju1vj]

Kyrie's fault!

[@Anthony01538]

I think the biggest reason for their collapse are the injuries to Kyrie and Gordon Hayward in 2018. If those injuries never happened, the young guys on the team wouldn’t have had to step up in the 2018 playoffs. This means they wouldn’t have had the confidence or just wouldn’t have been as ball dominant in 2019 (The 2019 Celtic’s biggest problem was the large amount of ball dominant players on the team). This means the Locker room problems wouldn’t have been as prevalent (or wouldn’t have happened at all) because the young guys wouldn’t have had their moment in 2018. This was probably poorly worded, so here you go: The point is, if those 2 injuries don’t happen in 2018, the 2019 Celtics don’t fall apart because of their locker room issues and large amount of ball dominant players, and we have a Celtics dynasty.

[@wh3elson]

This is true. They basically proved it: “The two “best” players were out and we made it tot he finals, maybe in reality if I was given the chance I’m the best player”. American NBA basketball is inherently selfish, give the ball to your best player most of the time, and when he’s crowded give it to your 2nd. Screen for your 1 and 2 to get them open. It also doesn’t help the biggest contracts and fame goes to those players. So the rookie squad who’s “proved” themselves worthy of the 1/2 are wondering why they’re being pushed back into their former roles even if statistically and factually they are worse

[@axel-vt8lq]

That was perfectly described actually I felt the same way.

[@ReflectionOfPerfection]

Its a double-edged sword for sure. If Tatum, Brown & Rozier don't step up in 2018 then egos don't implode the team in 2019. The flip side is because those three stepped up it showed what Tatum & Brown can do with more experience and made Rozier's trade value go up. Flipping Rozier for Kemba Walker on paper after Kyrie left SHOULD have made the team just as nasty in 2020 but as well know Kemba's knees weren't up to it.

Excellent video!

[@nickmelanson9115]

I'm a huge Celtics fan, and I watched every second of those IT and Kyrie teams. Hell, I remember jumping up and down when Jeff Green hit that shot to beat the Heat. I clicked on this video ready to critique everything you said but man you killed it. Great explanation as to what happened.

[@TheBigBoatman]

I remember the game against the Heat, the clock went to 0, so I turned the game off. Then they added the 0.6 seconds. lol.. woops.

[@CrtlW]

What a good video. It is funny to think about how many teams in the last 10 years had great upswings and storylines and all their seasons end the same way when they meet some combination of Steph, Lebron, Durrant, Giannis.

Kyrie got annoyed of being number 2. Tried to be number 1 and flopped. Then decided on being number 2 to KD lol.

[@jackswaggerty9267]

Then became Number 3 when James Harden got traded their.

Anyone see IT completely curve a high five at 14:14 😂

[@pistabacsi462]

Bro it’s on Kyrie. The man did not lead Boston, he is injury prone, trash leader, drama all the time, poor defender etc. who else is there to blame? You so eloquently pointed out the solid picks the Celtics made, solid trades initially, everything was set up for kyrie to succeed yet he could not do it. Let’s call it how it is.

[@TheLivewire18]

Kyrie has proven throughout his career that he NEEDED Lebron. Although immensely talented, without Bron to be the healthy one, the dependable one, the leader, the defensive anchor, the passer, number 1 option, and everything else everywhere Kyrie goes his teams underperform. Kyrie was handed the keys to the kingdom and fumbled it as usual.

[@Thugofchoc]

He been gone for 3 years now tho and they’re worse 🤔🤔

[@1891kmk]

Agreed 💯

[@6thraikagemike426]

You said all that but failed to mention they were on a 17 game win streak with Kylie and was top 10 on both offense and defense. It wasn’t on Kyrie, it was on weak coaching and poor management of rotations.

[@alejandroserrano7755]

If we being honest, they had so much bad luck. Hayward was an amazing player that got injured at the very start of that season. To make it even worst it was a nasty injury. I still think Boston shoulda kept Rozier and Horford. Horford was a team player and Rozier could step up in crunch time. Plus they both had great chemistry with Tatum and Brown.

[@xdOreoMilk]

al horford is back on the team go watch some basketball

[@pmendez1991]

Rozier went public with the locker room problems on First Take. I don’t think there was a way to bring him back in to the locker room after that. He went after the bag and no hate towards him he is a baller but he couldn’t come back to the team.

[@dii1314]

Nah, Scared Terry was one of the main reasons we choked on that game 7 vs Cavs. Then he started talking like he needed to be THE star of the team after having a horrible season. Fuck the guy

12:50 "the two best prospects in their classes". Thats debatable tbh, there's a few other good players and we havent seen enough separation to definitively say who is the best of each class

[@fishifyjenkins1379]

Tatum is definitely the best balanced player in his draft class. He can score, rebound, pass, defend, oh wait. He is the best from that draft class

[@CloneCoalition21]

Find it laughable people always refer to that few years a dynasty when the celtics never even won anything. For a dynasty to happen obviously they gotta first win a championship, then go back to back for a few years, not necessarily winning, but just be a constant presence in the finals, neither of which this group of celtics have ever done. They were a dynasty of choking at the ECF were more appropriate

[@conorflanagan9605]

Literally nobody calls them a dynasty and they were NEVER favorites to win in those years. This just Celtics hater porn. Their best seasons are to come

[@SO-jp6gh]

I think most common-sense people knew it was obvious that he meant the Celtics EMERGING dynasty was ruined, meaning things were promising but it got ruined before it got a chance to come to fruition. Since it seemed obvious, he didn't feel he needed to add so many words to explain it to everyone, but I guess at least 13 people didn't understand the assumption.
