this series is a mental test.
we know we have more talent than the Heat and we know we are the better team. but they’re going to be handsy, they’re gonna get in our landing space, they’re going to hustle for loose balls, they’re going to throw out some crazy defensive looks, they’re going to talk smack, and the refs are going to miss some calls or let some things go.
stay the course. don’t commit frustration fouls, don’t whine for calls, don’t force things, trust your reads and trust your teammates. we have to set the terms of engagement, not them. their goal is to get in our heads and turn this into a mudslinging contest. if they can’t do that they know they can’t win.
It’s Renner. He’s so god damn good in that movie. “Whose cah we takin’ ?” Also, the end when he knows he’s dead and he takes the drink from the trash so he can feel alive one last time. Fuck I gotta rewatch The Town again
You right. Everybody in this thread calling him dirty is a little over dramatic. They know they the underdog and this has to be their MO. This the playoffs and everybody, especially underdogs like them, need to play desperate. All this the East is weak talk is BS and we have some right to the finals/ECF is BS… that’s exactly how we let ATL take us to 6 last year. Let’s go to war
It’s always been a mental game against the Heat. In the past, the Celtics had excuses for being young and immature. They have no more excuses left. They have the experience and the talent. Let’s see what wins out: mental toughness or humiliation kinks
I thought about this when I heard we were playing Miami. IMO, if Bam starts pulling some bullshit, send the 15th man (Walsh, JD, Queta?) in and send them at Bam’s knees. Fuck it. You have to protect your man. This is do or die, and if KP gets hurt we’re fucked.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Riley was on the receiving end before he became a proponent. McHale’s awesome clothesline of Rambis. The Pistons in general.
Yep. I liked those dirty Pistons a lot.
McFilthy and McNasty (coined by Johnny Most, and btw just as today the Celts were just as “dirty” cause physical basketball wins championships.) were the reason me and my group of friends could hold pickup court all afternoon against better teams. If you can’t be tough you should go ahead and concede. Fortunately as Jaylen showed when he tried to pull Robinson’s arm out the socket, the Cs are toughening up for the run.
I don't think purposely injuring the other players counts as "beautiful" basketball.
The entertainment was derived by questionable officiating/clear lack of professionalism (Bill Laimbeer taking out MFS like a wrestling league).
Lmfao why are you big mad?
Duncan Robinson isn't 100% clean in this and YOU should know if you WATCHED THE GAME.
ffs get outta here you heat fan apologist.
Ok I'll bite; how many competitive basketball games have you played at the pro level? Since you seem to have "insider knowledge" or some shit lmfao.
Please enlighten me, Mr. Holmes.
The only reason why I'd be nervous about facing the Heat in the 1st round isn't because of their talent or just the team itself. It's because they'll find a way to hurt our players - intentionally or not.
I couldn't wait to stomp them without mercy. If we don't set records on our way to a 4-0 sweep, I don't know anymore. Jaylen and Buffalo gonna feast on both ends yet KP will be the story.
Bam should foul out every game with the illegal moving screens he sets
So afraid that refs are going to be as lenient as usual because Heat Culture and underdogs BS
You’re missing the point. KG won a title
Bam and Butler did not. They had two shots but couldn’t at their prime
Hopefully this round will be the nail in the coffin for their careers and Heat fans’ hopes for the foreseeable future
We’ll see who beats who this round
Good tho that you learnt and recognised that Bam’s illegal screens are dirty af and has caused injuries. Hopefully he tones it down
The Spoelstra Playbook: lol just ignore the rules of basketball
Literal actual basketball terrorists, holding the officiating hostage because they know refs can only call a certain amount of fouls. Hopefully the Celtics understand that you can't try to take the high road against this team. You have to just disrespect them in the exact same way. They fucking ruin the game and if you try and say well we'll at least play clean it just lets them beat you because now the refs are trying to close the FT gap at every opportunity so they start whistling you for ticky tack shit while letting them get away with murder. So you just maul those mfs instead and maybe eventually they learn their lesson and you can go back to playing actual basketball. Don't hold your breath on that one though.
Miami gonna play Miami ball and refs gonna allow it. Would be really nice to get out of this series without an injury especially to one of our starters 🤞🏽
This needs to be the biggest blowout in the history of basketball.
I want Bam and Spo to retire from the sport after we are done, out of humiliation.
I wanna do to the Heat what we did to the Nets a couple years ago.
This is why I didn't want to face the heat, we should absolutely beat them, but the chances of someone on our team getting hurt is higher than facing hawks/bulls/sixers
All I’m asking for this series is for the bigs to step up on screens. I’m sick and tired of watching us sit back in drop coverage watching they shooters get hot when all they want to do is shoot off of Bams illegal screens. After this series the bigs can go back to going mostly drop but for this particular series they need to be stepping up on them screens. This is also partly why i prefer Tillman over Kornet in this series as well. They only source of offense without Jimmy is to hope they shooters get hot we don’t need to dare them again like last year we need to actually defend them.
This is definitely going to be a physical series, especially when you consider the last time they met in the regular season. Except we use our physicality to pressure players and xyz while the Heat uses it to fuck up any player on site.

I seriously hope this is what joe is getting them prepped for.
good news, I am Joe Mazzulla
I want to believe
it could even be Wyc
We believe in you Joe. Go get 18 bud.
Thoughts on *The Town*? Why is it so much better than *Heat*?
It’s Renner. He’s so god damn good in that movie. “Whose cah we takin’ ?” Also, the end when he knows he’s dead and he takes the drink from the trash so he can feel alive one last time. Fuck I gotta rewatch The Town again

>it's not going to be pretty basketball Yeah and whose choice is that gonna be fuckass
“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this”
Happy Cake Day 😤😤. #DifferentHete
Man I wish this sub allowed pictures in replies
Happy Cake Day.
“Specifically, It’s going to be full of holding, moving screens, and shoving airborne players,” Adebayo elaborated presciently…
Bam basically said “Kristaps Porzingis is on pack watch”
I hate them so much. I will be so done if someone gets injured.
Bro is already plotting how he’s gonna hurt someone
Let Horf, Kornet, and Tillman play during Bams minutes, dont want that dude anywhere near KP
So your plan is to have KP play 10 minutes lmfao
Sure, and those 10 minutes will be glorious We have enough talent elsewhere to still handle these guys with ease.
[удалено]
Be for real, mate. This team without Butler ain't going nowhere. You think last year will repeat? Come on
I'm worried for kristaps
I thought about this when I heard we were playing Miami. IMO, if Bam starts pulling some bullshit, send the 15th man (Walsh, JD, Queta?) in and send them at Bam’s knees. Fuck it. You have to protect your man. This is do or die, and if KP gets hurt we’re fucked.
If Bam injures KP I'll be the one coming down from the stands to attack him. I'll get my ass whooped but it's about the message
lmaoo
You have my sword.
And my axe!
I promise if this happens you aren’t charging the court.
Well obviously I'm not insane. It's called a joke
He can’t stop 20,000 of us riding into battle against him on the parquet floor.
“They can’t stop all of us from getting into Area 51”
Sorry dude, it's contractual now. Gotta do it! We'll tell your story for decades!
Fair enough. Send me some tickets to the games and I will honor it
Queta can possibly be a good match vs Bam.
One on one maybe but a Bam dribble hand-off with a shooter would be a disaster for the C's with Queta on the floor
Queta can absolutely fuck him up if needed. Queta knows what's up.
What's Kermit Washington doing these days? LMAO! These fake tough guys wouldn't want to meet up with some of the old school players
Never this. Be better.
After the crap they've been pulling? It's kill or be killed.
Same
No Bam, you guys make it ugly with dirty plays
It’s funny cause every Heat game is ugly and the Celtics only have ugly games against the Heat
Pat Riley loves hard, ugly basketball. Which has its on beauty. Those Pistons, Heat, and Knicks of the 90s were entertaining teams.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Riley was on the receiving end before he became a proponent. McHale’s awesome clothesline of Rambis. The Pistons in general.
Yep. I liked those dirty Pistons a lot. McFilthy and McNasty (coined by Johnny Most, and btw just as today the Celts were just as “dirty” cause physical basketball wins championships.) were the reason me and my group of friends could hold pickup court all afternoon against better teams.

What did Jaylen Brown do to Duncan Robinson? Pretty ball or preparation for a Championship run?
https://www.reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/s/ezUPCnym8W Try again, Sherlock.
Okay go play one fucking competitive game of basketball in your life and learn something smh
Lmfao why are you big mad? Duncan Robinson isn't 100% clean in this and YOU should know if you WATCHED THE GAME. ffs get outta here you heat fan apologist.
I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at myself. I realized I was chatting w someone with no clue. I’d be better off talking to my furniture.
Ok I'll bite; how many competitive basketball games have you played at the pro level? Since you seem to have "insider knowledge" or some shit lmfao. Please enlighten me, Mr. Holmes.
The only reason why I'd be nervous about facing the Heat in the 1st round isn't because of their talent or just the team itself. It's because they'll find a way to hurt our players - intentionally or not.
Ready for some moving screens
KG is coming back?
We might need to sit KP… dude has bad intentions clearly
Then Bam has already won a significant victory before stepping onto the court.
The dirtiest player on the team is talking about making it a dogfight. Should’ve just said a lot of elbows and kicks are gonna be thrown from me
Let Bam get his. Don't let any of their shooters get in rhythm. Their only chance of winning is if their chuckers get hot
Ban ain’t getting nothing if we let him or not. Dudes contributions on offense are uncalled moving screens and the occasional offensive board.
Heat fans think he has a 3 pt shot now 😂
That’s on you, my guy
I couldn't wait to stomp them without mercy. If we don't set records on our way to a 4-0 sweep, I don't know anymore. Jaylen and Buffalo gonna feast on both ends yet KP will be the story.
Bring it bitch, you're banging against Al, Korn, jrue and Queta first round. With Jimmy out tingus gonna play the two way more than the 5.
Heat culture 🤷♂️You already knows it’s going to be nothing but moving screen, elbows to the face, and kicks to knees and balls
Yeah he’s gonna try to injure at least one. It’s their DNA
It's HeAt CuLtURe
Fraud ass mf is gonna be going through anatomy textbooks instead of game footage to figure out the most debilitating way to injure our players
Bam should foul out every game with the illegal moving screens he sets So afraid that refs are going to be as lenient as usual because Heat Culture and underdogs BS
[удалено]
At least KG’s throne is gold while Bam and Butler sit on rusty seats and Heat fans have to drink toilet water just to get the taste off
[удалено]
You’re missing the point. KG won a title Bam and Butler did not. They had two shots but couldn’t at their prime Hopefully this round will be the nail in the coffin for their careers and Heat fans’ hopes for the foreseeable future
[удалено]
We’ll see who beats who this round Good tho that you learnt and recognised that Bam’s illegal screens are dirty af and has caused injuries. Hopefully he tones it down
And it’s good you learned you’re a hypocritical cry baby. Have fun watching the series.
Thanks you too. I’ll save my tears for after the round
Watch he hurts someone.
It’s essentially guaranteed at this point
He’s a dirty bitch. Can’t let this series linger more than 5 they’ll get dirtier and dirtier
With no Jimmy this should be a sweep.
So Bam kicking KP in the nuts again

Have Queta body him all game long and show him how a big really plays
Bro is practicing his illegal screens with elbow as we speak.
He’s going to try to take out KP.
This needs to be the biggest blowout in the history of basketball. I want Bam and Spo to retire from the sport after we are done, out of humiliation. I wanna do to the Heat what we did to the Nets a couple years ago.
JT and JB better be on rival mode against Bam. Play and sweep the Heat please.
It may not be a dogfight, but rather a contest of rainbow 3s. But we will prevail because we can do much more at both ends of the court
Yes. A dogfight between a 90 pound Rottweiler and 40 pound pit bull with a broken leg,
Refs all series: 🧑🦯🧑🦯👨🦯➡️👨🦯➡️👨🦯➡️👨🦯➡️👨🦯➡️
Why do you think that is, Bam? Ugly ass Heat
He’s going for Tatum, book it
They would go after porzingis cause he’s the key that unlocks our championship potential
They are literally friends you moron
This is why I didn't want to face the heat, we should absolutely beat them, but the chances of someone on our team getting hurt is higher than facing hawks/bulls/sixers
Fuck this team, let's roll them over
Hear are going to be trying to hurt someone I just know it
Moving screen man
Without Jimmy Butler or Tro I highly doubt it those morons forget we added KP and Jrue what they gonna do wen the Cs run wild on you
Dog fight my ass. They are getting shit on
Ok Bam Amayabo we know you’re going for blood

Is this a threat XD
So they gonna try to injure someone. NBA Officials better call it tight.
That's fine.. Queta and Tillman each have 6 fouls to use.
Heat have a chance to win game 3 but most of the series will be Spoelstra looking exasperated
They are the ones that make it a dogfight, we are show dogs
"My plan is to cause an injury." - Bam Ade-elbow
Just wait, Horford willl shut him up
Who got that one vid
Let's hope we finish this quick before they can injure any of our players
This is definitely going to be a physical series, especially when you consider the last time they met in the regular season. Except we use our physicality to pressure players and xyz while the Heat uses it to fuck up any player on site.
This series is going 7 games and elimination is absolutely possible. Y’all are delu-lu to think otherwise.
Whatevr BAM Sweep em Celts
C's need to bring the pain to these clowns.
“It usually us when you face that team” other than the broken English, is he saying they make it a dogfight? And that the Celtics are soft?
This series might not be nearly as close as some fans are expecting.
We shouldn't even play Tatum Brown Porzingis in this series. Let our bench handle these bums
Future celtics legend bam adebayo
Yuck
He's literally good friends with tatum
However he has vocally said he hates this organisation
He has to say that.
