Paul is 100% right about us being the most disrespected team ever, we got told we weren’t shit all season with people referencing the 2022 finals I really hope we close this out tonight so we can troll the media on twitter

[@dawsonknight1299]

Today is my 21st birthday. If we lose tonight to win in game 5 I will be Hannah baker type depressed I need it now

[@UnLearnYourself]

The silver lining is after they get this taste of 1 they are going to come back rabid for more, and they're set up perfect for it. They will be undeniable by the time they're done.

[@mdr9738]

I’m getting a Mark Jackson and Golden State vibe with Boston.WE ALL KNOW whose team that is. Why nobody is acknowledging This is CRAZY.

[@jlui21]

most disrespected? they haven't won anything. However, they should win. JT and JB entering their prime 26/27. If KP can play 70% of games in the future, they will be great. Boston is in a great position TO BE great. Currently, they don't have a Top 5 player, yet. Interestingly, they arguably have TWO Top 10ish players.

[@unknownx7252]

I had a feeling they would lose game 4, but they should win tonight. If they lose to night, Dallas might make history. I really think they may need KP. ​@jlui21

[@meeee214]

I appreciate dude bringing up how you never see Boston complaining cuz that’s what’s made me enjoy watching them

[@aoj9123]

If the C’s sweep tonight, the fact that both conference finals and championship finals were sweeps, plus 16-2, and 80-20 makes it legendary

[@MickeyEntertains]

And had no business losing the 2 that they did, they coulda been undefeated

[@miked5814]

I see Jrue as a modern day glove so I say yeah he will be.

[@missenigma21]

LET EM KNOW CAPTAIN TRUTH ☘️☘️☘️

[@Bluegirlhonda]

that Rick James shirt is fire

[@Loretta-uc1vh]

Blazer fan here who was cool w/Dame going to the Bucks following Connaughton, but Jrue to the Celtics? Broke my heart. At least Jrue's gonna get a ring. Yes, Luka needs more rest. Boston just plays better as a team.

[@flyingvguy6833]

Guess what today is, it's cleaning day!!!

[@SadhguruYoga]

Let’s go P !!! ☘️🔥

[@jmw102693]

The best thing Boston did was stay consistent and grounded as an organization. They were geniuses for keeping all their coaching and front office changes in house, which led to one continuous system and message. Brad Stevens went from the sideline to upstairs, and Udoka stepped up and had a brief but successful promotion from assistant, and then the same process with Joe. This championship has been a decade in the making, and they built it the right way, drafting young talent and trusting their star potential, while consistently surrounding them with quality veterans to help further their development. Golden State laid the blueprint, and Boston found the right crew to build it 💪🏾🍀

[@humble1238]

Paul Pierce Content makes NBA better

[@Friedafterbirth]

Dat Rick James shirt is cold

Jason: "Kyrie right now, is pouring sage over Luka" lmao

Kyrie also said he was signing back to Boston 😂😂😂

[@John8Overfiend]

I don’t know who Jason Crowe is but damn he knows basketball for real, he is fun to listen to, makes very interesting points and perspectives…as real as it gets…

[@Wally-lp9jn]

Can they match up wit Kobe and Shaq? Put dat smoke down troof 😂

[@phobbs999]

From one Paul to another my nigga your brother is solid HE KNOWS BASKETBALL he's better than skip and Stephen A my brother breaks it da fuuuuk down you can't fake the chemistry. Show hella solid 💯💪🏿

[@RussellHendrix1]

KPZ coud be a hof if he stays healthy and keeps winning with us

[@seanisabel]

I didn't like the feeling of everyone saying it was over, and it would no doubt be a sweep. Now, here we are, we get dominated in game 4, and now there is more pressure on the Celtics. This team better not choke away a 3-0 lead. I fucking knew everyone was celebrating to damm early!!!

[@RussellHendrix1]

Big AL is the MVP! C's in 4

[@SonnySaigon]

Lil sneak diss to Cendric Maxwell😂

[@Miniowns]

lets gooo

[@enriqueG8]

Jrue could end up in the HOF if he keep racking up rings. This Celtics team had an easy road to the Finals. I would have enjoyed watching a Nuggets/Celtics Finals but Mavs and TWolves both got hot at the right time.

I hope we do get that bucks celtics matchup next season playoffs, which we were robbed of this season.

[@ZMSportsnShorts]

That team isn't a true 5th seed...they were an 8th seed before the trade deadline and they were the hottest team in the league heading into the Playoffs...stop giving Luka that credit Paul

[@seandunigan841]

Luca Is to slow? TO slow🐌 on office and he is too slow🐢 to keep up to play defense.

[@AmandaMarieBrinkley]

He still doesn’t seem quite as fit as other players, lovable as he is in more ways than one

[@drewn5271]

script dont lie😄

[@WhoAskewww]

CELTICS IN 4 !!!!! saying that cause im biased but also because how we won game 3.... didnt shoot that well AGAIN (FIRST HALF) and still won... let the lead slip away and still got the W..... ITS OVVVVVVVVVV

[@haqctrix]

This championship ring doesn't make tatum a hall of famer if he doesn't win finals mvp!

[@thuu261]

I can't wait to hear paul yall weak ass excuses. Yall really was trying to win that game. We just wanted it more

[@stefanocugini6379]

Jason is correct Boston's going to do exactly what you asked. Get Luka some rest, in Cancun! 😂

[@abc-lh7tb]

Man I hate this

Hate what? The script?

Luka's dropping 40 tonight and getting one. Book it.

This series isn’t over. Unfortunately I am surrounded today. Do not bet on Celtics today. I’m telling you, I’m literally surrounded. Kyrie said in post interview bring out the big guns. They did today. I’m telling you don’t bet on Celtics today

[@mikemurunga6570]

It could go either way.

Celtics are 8-0 this season with Scott Foster officiating.

[@Hanchobugatti5]

I can’t take this dude serious. Pp fix ya man’s teeth bruh😢

[@oopsie1319]

You weird champ

[@KiLLeRisMe100]

I always stand by that an orginization that recognizes its Alumni and those alumni reciprocate that; those orginzations that have the support of their past big stars or who have some of their past big stars still involved in the organization, that shows support and that fosters a culture for the orginzation and Boston Have always been the best at that. from Larry Bird to Paul Peirce now orginzation and your players benefit as a whole better when you involve your past lumni that still hasve a true love and understanding of the game.

[@AmandaMarieBrinkley]

Aren’t you guys glad there’s some fan requested the Celtics for all the smoke. that was a brilliant request. I must say so ☘️💚☘️🍀☘️💚☘️😂🤣😇🥹🫶🏼✌🏽🤩🥰😎🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳
