The Vengeance of The Boston Celtics

[@SpexMedia]

Boston has finally finished the story.

[@isao_the_2nd]

I'm just glad i wasn't one of those hoop fans who wanted to see Tatum/JB get traded from the Celtics. I gotta admit one thing, sure, the whole dynasty/big 3 thing is over, but i can see the Celtics rewriting the meaning of "dynasty", and it's all thanks to their performances last night 💯🔥🏀

[@macstyler617]

Or is it? The dynasty has just begun.

[@markbanilar5205]

​​@@isao_the_2ndthe moment the C's drafted the 2 Jay's it was the moment the new legacy started in beantown, its just that they really endured lots of failures, pain to go up as a champion,this championship opens up the doors for more rings to come,now they're ready to build a new dynasty, they are young experienced,unselfish stars

Always breaks my heart when I remember the video where he's crying while saying "They gave up on me" after scoring 81 freaking points. Truly underrated and underappreciated. I'm glad the Suns gave him another shot.

[@DangerDyl_]

only one i still miss is Smart! was my favorite celtics player for so long! but lfg number 18! THE BOYS DID IT!

[@ramzeezthamightygod]

@@DangerDyl_I miss timelord as well. Imagine how nasty he woulda became in an alternate world where he was immune to injuries… it really stifled his development. The way he was defending when fully healthy was ridiculous-and it was so many games where a crazy Rob Williams lob would shift the momentum. I stand behind the take that he would be one of the top 10 centers in the league at this point if his legs weren’t made of glass /he never caught that bug. I do hope marcus can come back at some point and win one with the Celtics with how much he means to this city and how much he’s sacrificed here on and off the court. While we’re at it, please brad sign IT and make up for what Danny did to him… we can afford to throw him one of those deep roster spots and it would mean so much to both Isaiah and the fans. I know It’s a pipe dream but come on .. 🙏

[@AndreIsrael43]

[@zachpappas2416]

This should allow people to understand why they can't criticize the Celtics for beating injured teams. As you can see, so many of the Celtics chances to win the finals were stifled by heartbreaking injuries. It's finally time that we get luck on our side. And even then, KP barely played the entire postseason. We deserve this

Im from NZ, moved to the states two and half years ago and have never liked or watched basketball. I watched one game with my husband before the playoffs. It was the Celtics and I was completely awestruck with the team instantly, their dynamics of play is so unique and their coach Joe is such an amazing guy. I quickly fell in love with basketball and the team, followed them religiously through the whole season to their win. Celtics fan for life and congrats to their long overdue win!!

[@ConnorTibb]

This is why this championship means so much. Tragedy, injuries, etc. The guys finally did it.

These championships come and go every year.... but this one is special

[@koberino4872]

15:19 biggest L take….the trade didn’t ruin IT’s career, his hip injury that ended his postseason vs Cavs did. Also the alternative for the Celtics would’ve been to offer him a max contract….should Danny Ainge have done that? Give a 30 year old 5’9” guy with a bad hip a max deal? That would’ve ruined the Celtics franchise. Great move by Danny to trade IT for Cryrie

[@aesirgaming1014]

Also, just one correction. The trade didn't ruin IT's career. IT's injury ruined his career, it's just the extent of that injury only came to light after the trade. There's probably always going to be conflicting stories on who is responsible for IT exacerbating his injury. On the one hand, I think Boston certainly pushed him to play through it. However, I also think IT (the competitor that he was) pushed himself to play while hurt. It's very sad and Boston fans should always be grateful for what IT gave to the city.

[@dukephantom3137]

One thing I noticed is that Hayward didnt join cause they traded for Kyrie, he signed before the trade. I think he said somewhere he was kinda mad cause part of the reason he signed was to play with IT
