If the celtics win (and the mavs don't screw it up enough to deserve it) then the congrats video needs to be Congrats Billy King, the NBA's Herschel Walker trade. For those of you who don't know Billy King, the then GM of the nets, decided in 2013 to trade 3 1st round picks, a pick swap, and a smattering of unexceptional players to the celtics for paul pierce (36 y/o, left after one season), Kevin Garnett (37 y/o, traded after a season and a half), and Jason Terry (36 y/o, played for 35 games then left). One of those picks resulted in Jaylen Brown and the pick swap resulted in Jason Tatum.

[@PeteringYT]

You don't have to mention the pick swap since they had first overall pick and traded down. Give credit to Pierce for convincing KG to waive his no trade clause.

Regardless, the Nets end up as the biggest losers in this year's finals. Either they get further confirmation that the KG/Pierce trade was the worst deal of all time, or they have to watch Kyrie win a ring, after everything that happened, and did I mention that they traded Kyrie for some bubble gum and a paper clip. And you want to know how this gets worse? They had to give away the 3rd overall pick to the Rockets because of the Harden deal, when the Rockets were practically begging the Nets to take the picks back for Mikal Bridges.

Thank you for being one of the few who calls the play in games what they are, garbage cash grabs. The 10 and 9 seed have no business in the playoffs. You had 82 games to be top 8 in your conference and couldn’t get it done, sucks to suck

[@lakerskid2013]

The play-in should only be used a tiebreaker scenario if there’s teams tied for the 8th seed. Obviously more games can be played if there’s more than two teams tied to determine the final playoff spot (or spots if there’s multiple ties going into the 7th seed and further up) but that would be the only thing that would make things fair, so they could go MLB-style with how that was handled for the one game playoff. Otherwise, if your team’s record is short then you’re short and don’t deserve a chance for the playoffs. Ever since the current format began in 1984, there’s been 12 scenarios where teams have tied for the final spot.

As a Suns fan, I’m about to go through basketball hell. I was heavily against the Beal and KD trades and what happened in the past couple of years is why you need depth. I knew we were screwed the second KD came to PHX. Yet the desperation keeps happening with the new coach hire. But one thing that makes me happy was I was told we were winning a ring with the team we had by some suns fans. So even though my team lost embarrassingly, I was right and now we’re screwed. At least the cardinals will be a bit more exciting to watch.

cant wait for the NHL video!

[@Tman8605]

11:02 interesting that every Scooters favourite teams got eliminated in the first round 😮 (except for Orlando City)

[@goodolboston4522]

The last time I was this early, the Patriots made the playoffs.

[@Douchebigelow666]

The best part of tree making these playoff videos is the simple fact none of the NFL ones he does will ever include the Steelers.

[@broadstreetbullies849]

Yes, Al Horford is still our troll

[@AidoDrives]

A tree video dropping right before dinner? There truly is a sports god

[@sandycrash8868]

Nice job fans lol 😂 looks like tree was right congratulations on the Celtics on the series win

[@ChiefBlue4298]

Ewwww gross

[@wolfboy527]

Nah, more like 'Conglaturation, Dallas' for the second time this calendar year.

[@TheMcK777]

6:22 - clairvoyant as ever, señor Tree

[@chrisbernhard6063]

i see tree is just like every other basketball pundit when it comes to reggie and the knicks. When will people realize he lost the series he did the choke sign to spike? Maybe some day

[@blazeforprez]

Yess omfg lol I just literally said on your last video we need the haters guide to nba. You are tf goat UT!!! great video btw bro my boy never misses!! Lmao big w on the Charles Barkley Galveston part shyt lives rent free in my mind.. where they going Chuck? Galveston with that dirty ass water and these people be thinking they at the beach😂😂😂

[@lakerskid2013]

If the Kings win a championship anytime soon especially with this core they have, he should make a video just like he did for the Texas Rangers with the song Time by Hans Zimmer, which that song is from the movie Inception.

[@vitex198]

you don't want any particular opponent how many fucking times does Tree need to remind y'all of that

[@JacksonFitz]

Coming back to this after the finals,safe to say Tree called this one😂

[@Ilovesports977]

Cleveland fans: “ WE WANT BOSTON! Results: Celtics win the series! Indiana: “WE WANT BOSTON!” Results: Celtics wins the series. Dallas: “WE WANT BOSTON!” Tree: Congrats to the Celtics on the Series win. 😂😂😂! 20:18 I grew up in Boston Mass for 22 years now living in Dallas, watching my two favorite teams play in the finals is a dream come true. I’m definitely pulling for my home town team the Celtics on this one.

[@liam45506]

How do you like Dallas vs Boston? my family is considering buying a house in Texas because property value here in suburban Boston Mass is going up and we could sell here and get a really nice house in the South.

[@Ilovesports977]

@@liam45506 Dallas Fort Worth area has cheaper housing with no state income tax in Texas. Plus the DFW metroplex is huge with a booming economy with many opportunity’s if you were to switch careers. I moved from Mass back in 2020 and have no regrets on my decision.

[@maolenvinpelaez2199]

19:32 The Massachusetts Death Star never left us, it just switched sports. From Tom’s Patriots to Tatum’s Celtics we’re fucked yet again 😢. Next season we’d probably see Boston come back from 3-0 in the Finals just like 28-3. We need the Sixers, Embiid, PG, and Maxey to show their Rocky Balboa spirit to bring this evil empire down.

[@TdogAlicious]

Why the hell do all the new NBA logos have to be a circle LMAO

[@Rye-jl2fk]

For real 🥱

[@BigEWR]

Man, oh man. What can I say about this season? My friends and I were laser-focused on two significant details, the Celtics domination over these past few months, and the seemingly never-ending battle between Denver, Minnesota, and OKC. As we got closer to the playoffs, there was a lot of excitement to witness. Major highlights include the Warriors getting eliminated first, the Pacers surprising us by defeating the Knicks, the Celtics slaughtering the Pacers, Dallas storming OKC, the Timberwolves shutting out the Suns only to be beaten badly by the Mavericks, and now the playoffs. Can the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks and win their 18th championship? I believe they can.

[@SirDawkster]

No Warriors or Lakers. We're saved.

[@IncredibleFulk1]

Celtics exist: Am I a joke to you?

[@splashnskillz37]

@brientaylorcohen They litteraly worse than both combined, y'all really stupid

[@vyyr]

Celtics fans are bad enough.

[@darksidebluez5966]

We have Celtics though.

[@UncleJrueForTue]

"I wouldn't say saved.. more like under new management." 👌💥🤕

[@Shcxir]

That Milwaukee segment was horrible. Made it strictly off of headlines. “And a soap opera” acting like they weren’t hurt.

[@22wolves22]

The Dallas Blue Ponies vs The Boston Leprechauns

[@tylerfoster4157]

That Billy King line at the end killed me

[@kobelilio1804]

Chaos at its finest

[@bizmen81]

Tree went full Tree and I AM LOVING IT!

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

Cavs 100% would have beat Boston, but you know, Allen missed the entire series, Mitchell and 6th man Levert and Wade missed tons of times (Mitchell missed 60% of the series). Congrats Boston!!! Mickie Mouse has your 2024 ring! 🐭💍😇

[@BenTGN11]

Building a statue for Luka or Billy King? Oh how I love Tree's continuity
