Making of The Champs 🏆 Tatum, Porzingis, Mazzulla, Horford on The 2024 Boston Celtics ☘️

[@spiff10009]

JJ was a Celtics advocate since day one of this season. Was the only guy to actually observe what they were doing without falling into the media-driven traps. Big ups to Redick; he really knows the game.

[@luigirox8]

Forsure. Hes one of the realest because all the praise he gives them is genuine, he had receipts

[@Fr0gSplashh]

So weird how everyone fell asleep on Boston because of how the east was quite weak and boring. It just felt like their year from the get go.

[@takuyayamada5306]

JJ!! I really loved you called finals with Mike and DB! I could imagine It was long season for u as well! Go to bed and get some break!😂

[@uzi978]

7:46 This is why they traded Marcus. Not because he said they should pass more, but because Marcus really thought he was on the same level as the Jays, and wanted to take as many shots as they did. Far too often he would be taking the last second shot, and I loved him to death but that's not what the team needed. His style of play could be really chaotic at times, it was very hit or miss, not consistent. Replacing him with Jrue was the best move the Celtics made, he brought a calming presence at the PG position they desperately needed in crunch time. I loved Marcus's heart but his decision making was questionable. Jrue is not only a better playmaker, but a better defender without fouling. Great moves by Brad to make this happen, and everyone is signed for the next couple years so there's potential for more success in the future.

[@qodiene]

Exactly for example last year game 6 against the heat when he chucks up a contested 3 wit 9 seconds left in the 4th luckily d white got the putback

[@theraVen27]

D White and Jrue can’t be denied. Love Marcus but the trade was a great move

Yes! They guy has been a pro's pro everywhere he's been, glad to see him win, and especially while he's still a big part of things (as opposed to being on the team but buried on the bench as sometimes happens to longtime vets).

[@daveclark8337]

I'm sure JJ leading with that clip of Mazzula saying "being a Head Coach brought our marriage and family closer" was a total coincidence.

[@jeanc6306]

nah, they may have been bad at passing when smart was sayin that but in this finals their assist is low because everyone on the team was a willing passer, so there's always an extra pass to turn a good shot into a great shot. If they counted hockey assists then JT would average 10+ per game

​@jkepic25 You're really betting on Lively to take such a big leap, that it propels you into a true finals contender? I don't think you really watched the series lol lively wasn't the issue.

[@owensnyder1292]

The Mavs need to make a few moves I think. They need a 3&D wing to upgrade Derrick Jones Jr. He would be great off the bench, but a wing who can really shoot and play solid defense could get Dallas over the top. Kidd tried going to Green, Hardaway, Exum, Hardy.. but none of them are good enough on both ends of the court to really help win a championship. Green aint bad though. Lively is a great young center who will work on improving his post game. Gafford and PJ are perfect fits too.

DWHITE DA REAL MVP!

[@Peter-zg3em]

im a little worried about al sticking around. might leave a hole in the roster. i want pingus to come off of the bench. that;s the best way to limit his minutes and max his output. he will win sixth man of the year. it won't be close. come out and knock down threes, catch lobs and get dunks in transition, and block shots. be healthy in the playoffs. that leaves al as a starter. can he do that at 38 years old? i hope i am wrong. al is a special athlete, takes care of himself and he's got no bad habits, but 38 is ancient for an NBA player.

[@EMTE-l9p]

Next season Al should be a starter for up to 5 minutes in each quarter. KP should come in off the bench. At this point we should treat him as luxury and preserve as much as possible for the playoffs. The task will be to then have two more rim protecting centers who can give you up to 20 mins per game and can emulate what Al and KP do. If Kornet is to be one of them he should go back to practicing threes, which he was pretty good at earlier in his career. If Tilman is the 2nd one he should spend the summer shooting threes. His D and game around the rim is good but he cannot stretch the floor right now. He's a FA though so not sure how this pans out for the C's.

[@idkbroidkasdf]

Hey, Joe, try to utter one sentence without misusing the word like. In fact, leave out that word entirely. You will sound a lot smarter and be more of a credit than you already are to the Boston Celtics? I remember when the University of Connecticut won the national championship. Their coach went on national TV after the win and said "We be UConn". He was gone within about a year

[@eggynyce]

Be careful JOE JJ may steal some ideas 😅

[@aaronpeters6209]

7:25 No reason to be flummoxed. The two of you are top 30-40 players. But, that could mean you both cost more per year than the production you provide. Why Brad Stevens had to stack the deck & acquire the best supporting cast in the NBA. Which affords the two of you a true five out scheme to take advantage of. But, this is unaffordable long run with the new CBA. I'd still be interested in trading Brown for the right deal. Should be able to fetch a better one after winning finals MVP.

[@jd2616]

It tickles me how all these talking head continue to say that Boston overtakes the Lakers in championship wins, THE LAKERS HAVE NEVER HAD MORE CHAMPIONSHIP WINS THAN BOSTON. Boston has had more championships than the Lakers for the ENTIRE history of the NBA, in winning that bubble crap the Lakers TIED Boston with them both then having 17 championships, now Boston has it’s 18th the Lakers have NEVER repeat NEVER lead Boston in the championship chase, and as for Head up championships the Lakers and Boston have played each other for the championship12 times and Boston has won 9 of the 12, so NO, the Lakers have NEVER been a more storied franchise than the Boston Celtics.

I don’t think Celtics fans are throwing themselves a pity party. In fact, there are alot of haters towards the Celtics. If you watch the stats, everybody wanted mavs to win for 2024 championship. Everybody said Celtics was weak, soft, playing against injure teams. Everyone kept doubting the Celtics. The list is endless. Talking bad about their franchise. Despite them having an amazing roster and good super team they still get hated on. They have a bunch of great guys and humble players but even so still get doubted and hated on. They ARE a good team but kept having to prove themselves to everyone else who didn’t believe in them. They deserve this win and we’re happy for them! 💚 so to answer what you said, I don’t think they’re throwing themselves a pity party.
