Whats crazy is that the Celtics did this while having a fully healthy KP for just 2 full games in the playoffs. Obviously he has a reputation of injury, but even with his injuries they dominated. Let that dude be healthy for a full series, and they practically unbeatable

[@cvgodd1432]

😂😂 exactly!! People think game 1 was like some crazy lucky game for KP! Na that’s a normal hot night for KP this season!! He’s been doing that the whole season! Dropping 20 in his sleep.

[@Mitch_Feral]

For real. It was that Miami series - refs let the Heat dive at KP's legs over and over and over, no calls, no action, and wouldnt you know it? He got hurt. It's astonishing how many 'what if ____ hadnt gotten hurt playing Miami?' anecdotes there are in the modern NBA.

[@walterharris7421]

@@Mitch_Feral YO!!! I’ve been saying for years that the Celtics have been up against an 8 man squad for years! Meaning the REFS and the oppositions starting five. We finally have a team that are mature and focused enough to beat every odd that is against them. A d know people are trying to replicate what Brad n Danny has done hahaha!!! Catch up suckers! We can threepeat ! It’s definitely not out of our realm of possibility!

[@CM-sd1tw]

Y’all got to get ready for the Celtics running things for the next couple of years😆 We got 2-3 more in us. JT and JB just reaching their prime

[@dacoreychaney]

Let them know what’s up ☘️ Celtics back on top

[@cvgodd1432]

Facts! Watch KP come back jacked next season! 😂😂 Celtics coaching staff are on top of everything! Look how big D white is now compared to when he first got here and even Hauser got way bigger!

[@Saxandfifths]

Y'all only even got to the Finals because your entire conference was missing their best players. Literally. Lmaooo talking about primes. Easiest path ever and y'all think you're headed to a repeat? 🤣🤣🤣

[@dacoreychaney]

@@Saxandfifths all I hear is blah, blah, blah 😂😂 We’ve beaten all those teams with their best players before and we had key players missing too, so what’s your point?

[@Saxandfifths]

@@dacoreychaney lmao I'm not mad at you ignoring all that, man. I would celebrate as well. But nah, y'all didn't need Kristaps and it showed. If you were missing JT and JB, then that would've been a similar situation but y'all were still complete.

[@thorphoeung6057]

It's funny how the argument is that Boston had a cake walk through the playoffs with their opponents' team injuries. They never bring up the Celtics' big injury of KP. KP only played 2 full games in the playoffs, yet they dominated 16-3 postseason. KP was the X-factor of this team. With his shooting beyond the arc and spreading the floor, in addition to his defensive prowess. He was a walking cheat code. You seen him on Game 1 against the Mavs. KP is a matchup nightmare for most starting centers. Boston should definitely be the favorite for next year. The 2 Jays are 26 & 27 respectability. KP, D-White, PP, Hauser, and Tillman are all under 30 years of age. They should have a 3-5 years championship if they can keep the team intact.

This pod don’t get enough love

[@Brotherimlost]

Waking with a new episode is perfect

[@hakimsalum2657]

Love the pod! As always staying locked in from Uganda East Africa!

[@junwah22]

The beauty of Brad Stevens is the way he maximized Marcus Smart value. He got Porzingis and 2 1's which ended up going with Brogdon and Williams to get Holiday. Stroke of genius!

[@shawnmarques7117]

The crazy stat was 18 point lead for banner 18.

[@seigejet]

Regular season record 64-18. An 18 point win in the deciding game of the Finals for Banner 18.

[@antonios4553]

Big facts on this pod. Should get more views!

[@AJAJ-tg6uw]

EARLY MORNING GANG! My fault I’m an hour late but we here!

[@katboss4886]

Hey PF fam! Work gets in the way again but always happy to be here. Learn & laugh in the same pod.

Time to invest into equipment i.e Evan needs a microphone to improve sound quality, cameras and lighting.

[@darthcholo]

why turner sound like kirmit

[@zfeazcesd1047]

5:10 when iggy says dallas defense was tailored around "tatum not gettin his, but he made all the right plays", what does that mean specifically?

[@SabLew-yh2or]

It means that in order to stop Tatum made a sacrifice to leave his teammates open for more shots/3s... And that Tatum took full advantage of those players being open for 3s by making the right reads/passes

[@zfeazcesd1047]

@@SabLew-yh2or so Tatum got doubled more often? is that all it means? anything else?

[@tn2007]

I did not realize how handsome Andre was all these years. Maybe because he played for the Warriors😅

[@shawnmarques7117]

Celtics 24 Champs next year they will repeat.

[@iAmRickyVela]

Nuggets are regressing, they keep losing key pieces year after year. The duo of Joker & Jamal aren’t going away but aren’t getting any better either. They wont be able to beat the Celtics without key players around them.

[@SadhguruYoga]

What point forward mean or represent ?

[@walterharris7421]

When Forwards run the POINT

[@SabLew-yh2or]

It's a double entendre Both Iggy and Evan were forwards on defense who played a lot of point guard on offense... And it also means to look ahead to what's going to happen across the league/nba

[@SadhguruYoga]

@@SabLew-yh2or got it thanks bro appreciate you taking the time to

[@tatt4music]

Juneteenth 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Newportnews98]

4th of July 😂

[@Kimmica20]

Another good episode fellas. Please keep them coming. Evan is hilarious. 😂🤣

[@PrincessKatarinah323]

Wow, it's refreshing to listen to guys that actually know what are talking about. & am not saying this b'cos am from the Beantown, but rather am impressed b'cos you've gotta facts, not bs to get clicks. Kuddos to you guys🤟👊

[@aieshadaniels6104]

ON THE NOSE Iggy they clinched the 18th Banner by 18 Points perfect way to complete the mission! As WINDY stated The SUMMER of TATUM begins NOW! I only have players that play both ends of the court as my BASKET BALL SUPERSTARS! MJ Set the Superstar Standard: Defend; Pass; Initiate; Shoot; Slash; Free Throw; Rebound; & Team Play Leadership = Jayson Tatum the others LeBron; Kevin; Jokic; Giannis; & JT ** ALL NBA started out meaning playing ALL of the Court not HALF the court!!!! Lets Go my two favorite Franchises Celtics Warriors keep rolling! That's why I loved Iggy not vext he got that MVP like JB because basketball is defense to offense because you need to protect the ball even when you trying to score!!! SUPERSTARs know this and Luka maybe will figure it out however Kristaps, Jalen & Dimwiddie figure that out! JRUE got one for both hands babe!!!! STUD!

[@jtothecass9859]
