[@WolfsDE]

I absolutely expect the Celtics to win the whole damn thing. If they have a disaster of a playoff run (like getting swept out of the first round) then I am for a complete tear down and rebuild. This should be a 3-5 year run of Celtics teams that are in the hunt every year. If they do win it all, I think Horford retires. It would be the perfect cap to his hall of fame career. But I wouldn't be shocked if he joined the Celtics coaching staff or became an NBA commentary guy. Especially in Boston where he has been loved for years as one of the heart and backbone players.

Funny how when it came to the Celtics beating the Bucks, Middleton being injured is mentioned. However, when it came to us losing in game 7, you mention Tatum only scored 14pts without mentioning injured himself in the beginning of the game and STILL decided to play through the injury. Not making excuses, a win is a win but still, context matters. Without context you can look at it like we imploded but with context, we were very well on our way to make history as the first team to come back from being down 3-0 up until Tatum got injured

[@ZimboInMex]

😂😂😂 So much hate. I'm a Celtics fan and I know that there are massive question marks still. Losing to big, mediocre and bum teams all season long and getting owned by the favorites - the Nuggets. However, the hate is not warranted. Ya'll really need to look inwards... Concentrate on your own teams and enjoy the finals...this year is very unpredictable and even us losing to Jimmy Buckets last year - as painful as it was - gave me some joy because of the heart they showed! All the best, enjoy it.

[@felipeb.9321]

The Celtics have done so much "L O S I N G" this year that they have -- checks notes -- an 11 game lead over the #2 Bucks, oh??? -- checks notes again -- And a 6.5/7 game lead over the best in the west. Er... where's the season of losing, bud?? Could you show me the "almost lost" column on the NBA stats pages, I can't find it. .:. Since you can't read stats or figure out what an "historic offensive rating" means, perhaps you should stick to commentary on 'my little pony' videos.

[@MikeyMike923]

​​@@felipeb.9321 you wanted to be so antagnostic so bad you read his comment with 0 comprehension. In the games the Celtics lost, they have been to sub-par teams or to teams they will need to beat in the playoffs. Almost losing games is to be noted, why? The playoffs are about matchups, games where you win by the skin of your teeth are red flags that a team may have your number and you will be exposed in a 7 games series vs 1 or 2 game match up. Casuals like you live off base stats and the W/L column without trying to understand the nuances of the game. Then want to talk down to others? Go learn the game beyond base stats.

[@emdeezy7529]

This logic makes no sense for fans to actually be worried about, we’ve lost like 1 game to a bad team all year and have a handful of losses good teams, but is you’re not going undefeated over 82 then shouldn’t contenders lose to other contenders in tough games rather than bum teams?

[@user-jw5qj8kv2y]

With the end of Big 3 Era and after a period of rebuilding, the Celtics became a force again under head coach Brad Stevens. Led by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the team returned to the Conference Finals in 2018 and 2020, and broke through to the NBA Finals in 2022 in head coach Ime Udoka's first season at the helm. I'm never gonna get over the fact that our 5 straight 1st round picks were Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Robert Williams

I feel like this is similar to 2015-2016 year where gsw had the best record by a landslide about that is a blessing in disguise as it heavily impacted the warriors health. Steph played on one leg basically for the finals and other players for in and out. Just cause your high up in th standings doesn't mean it set in stone, for the Celtics. Their playoff record is good. But they haven't seem to get over the hump. It's going to be harder with JT extension coming up. JT and JB contracts alone hurt them to make a good team in the future. They got to push this playoff
