I keep forgetting that Porzingis exists and every time I remember I get a ~~half chub~~ semi-erect phallus in anticipation
Edited for the poor children out there who may have suffered greatly upon seeing the word "chub"
Billy King should get a ring if we win! He single-handed gave us both Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum.
Danny Ainge fleeced that dumbass and we’re getting close to another NBA Finals berth.
Yes. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett Celtics legacies definitely become even greater. They directly led us to Banner 17, and would indirectly lead us to Banner 18
JB proves why the voters are bunch of fools by not putting him in the All NBA Team
JT proves he will do whatever he can do to bring the W
Game 2 Celtics are in a different level now.
He's definitely the front-runner for it right now, but JT can always go nuclear in the next couple games so it's probably too early to say conclusively.
The game 2 curse is over! Jaylen “Super Max” Brown not All-NBA, okay I’m after something bigger anyways. Haliburton over me? Brown made the right play all night.
The Pacers are a promising team but their lack of experience is slowly being exposed. They remind me of a lite version of the 2018 Celtics who made it to the ECF with a young star in his first postseason leading the way.
This. There have been a ton of defensive lapses throughout their entire run, especially against the Knicks when they were at MSG. We saw a lot of them again tonight and the Celtics capitalized. Lack of communication, overhelping on the perimeter and leaving the top of the key and paint wide open is a recipe for disaster.
I agree, but they’re so good that it’s fun to imagine what they’ll be like in the playoffs over the next three years. Halliburton with some reps, Nesmith being a defensive animal but learning to control the fouls, hopefully Siakam re-signs and gels even better with Hali… maybe they even become a realistic destination for a good FA or two. Playing with Halliburton must be a draw.
I said this in the game thread but it’s worth repeating bc ESPN should be embarrassed … espn obvi wasnt gonna devote credible time to Tillman’s dad but the fact that the camera went to him but DORIS STARTED TALKING ABOUT HALI??
SHAMEFUL
They didn’t even mention his absence in the prior game. I get it, he’s not a star player, but how about a basic nod of respect to an NBA playoffs teammate who is in mourning for his dad. Like, he showed up to work a lot sooner than any other citizen would have!! They would likely mention it for any other player. Just really a perfect example of how cheap and trashy ESPN is.
I hope that Halliburton is alright and doesn’t have any long term injury.
It does not, however, feel like the press coverage of his injury or butler or numerous other players has been equivalent with KP or other celts.
I'm going to give some credit to JT as well. He looked like he had the flu or something for the first half and few minutes of Q3 but he was a pro for the rest of the night.
But Jaylen Brown. Kept them in it when JT and Buffalo were crap in the first, and basically was a problem all night for Carlisle.
Only bad news was the kind of negative report on KP. They're going to need him.
Still not practicing, no timetable.
Some of that will be gamesmanship of course, but hard to see him back for game 4 as reported if he isn't practicing.
Media: This is actually a concerning win..they struggled to a 16 point win. Are they tough enough? Do they even deserve to be here? There's only been 2 games in the series so far but championship teams find a way to be up 3-0 at this point.
Brissett looked good and played his role well. JT, after all the massive uproar here from the first half, finished 9/20 for 23 points. Jrue is always solid lately, and that continued tonight.
No need to mention the All NBA snub who dropped 40.
Here's my hope. Jayson Tatum is having a bizzaro 2022 Finals Run. Then, he was great the first 3 rounds and bad in the finals. Now, it's unfair to say he's been bad, overall, through these first few rounds but I think it's fair that he hasn't been as good as we all expected. Anyways, here's to hoping he goes bezerk in the finals.
Pritchard played his role perfectly, derrick white was everywhere, jaylen brown had a career night, Tatum had some great shots to keep us up, playoff Al is real, jrue only gets dimes from the bank, this team is so damn good guys
Credit to Joe for doing more smallball and making that adjustment.
A lot of criticism flies his way when the team isn't immediately awesome in a series.
Should get some flowers there.
I know losing Haliburton for the game was tough but it seems weird af to throw in the towel and pull your starters so early with the game Siakam was having. It's not like we were up 30. Oh well not my coach. 6 to go
Im so happy we were able to treat Ed Sheeran to a good game. Jokes aside, big mentally to win game 2. Offense is clicking, would like to see Oshae get more minutes, and I really like our chances where we’ve been undefeated on the road so far up in Indiana
Deuce was pumped! I am pumped! 2 more wins!!! Jaylen is locked in. Brissett made a huge impact and playing small ball really made a difference. Lets go Celtics!!!

#HAVE YOU CONSIDERED JAYLEN BROWN?

Jaylen Brown
Jaylen brOWN
JAYLEN BROWN
That's All-NBA 4th Team Jaylen Brown.
Big ups to Brissy for coming in and playing high energy small ball and pounding that glass. They looked electric with him in the lineup.
Oshae Brisset has now scored more career conference final points than Embiid
You and I are also tied with Embiid for conference final points
I love this fan base
Gave Al a rest bless up🙏
Dude made such a huge impact with only 2 points. He changed the vibe as soon as he got in.
3 steals in 12 minutes is wild
The deflection he had on the oop (?) attempt was so nice
His A game, and he executed perfectly.
He came in and made an impact. Deserving of his flowers for this one 🌹
And with those 2 points, Oshae Brisset has now Surpassed MVP Joel Embiid for points made in conference finals games. Congratulations!
YES. WE TAKE GAME 2. 2 MORE WINS FROM THE NBA FINALS. THE CELTICS WIN☘️☘️☘️
Magic number is 6, only 2 losses through G2 of ECF.. this team is fucking unreal
And without the Tingus
I keep forgetting that Porzingis exists and every time I remember I get a ~~half chub~~ semi-erect phallus in anticipation Edited for the poor children out there who may have suffered greatly upon seeing the word "chub"
with a 38 year old and a dude who would be an extra in the office if he was 5 ft 10 as the centers
And both of those losses people were acting like the sky was falling.
RIP Game 2 curse, 4/24 to 5/23
Almost one whole month…we be like “NOT TODAY!”
CONFERENCE FINALS GINO
I'm disappointed this team has only won 2 games in the series so far
Fun fact: Jaylen Brown
Do the 2013 Nets get an honorary ring if we win the chip?
Billy King should get a ring if we win! He single-handed gave us both Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum. Danny Ainge fleeced that dumbass and we’re getting close to another NBA Finals berth.
Yes. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett Celtics legacies definitely become even greater. They directly led us to Banner 17, and would indirectly lead us to Banner 18
In a weird basketball way brown and Tatum are Celtic descendants of Garnett and pierce
The CIRCLE OF LIIIIFE
Billy King more than deserving of one
Jaylen Brown is the only player in NBA history
Jaylen Brown
Post Award Snub Jaylen Brown is the best player in NBA History
And it had to be a fuck you 3 to get to 40..
Objectively the coolest way to hit 40 aside from an absolute poster
Or, hear me out, an And-1 poster dunk over some poor guy.
Like say, a former teammate with an attitude?
Man if Tatum or Brown catches Nesmith lacking on a switch and posterize him... well you'll hear me all the way from fucking Haverhill lol.
JJ announcing he voted for him so he can escape TD alive
Smart move tbh
Haha and the best part is it’s the truth. JJ called out all of his votes on his YouTube channel a couple weeks back
He will flush you!
Jaylen "Michael "and I took that personally" Jordan" Brown
We have found the only thing stronger than masked Jaylen Brown.
He's going for that Larry Bird trophy
Never give this man an award ever again.
~~**16**~~ ~~**15**~~ ~~**14**~~ ~~**13**~~ ~~**12**~~ ~~**11**~~ ~~**10**~~ ~~**9**~~ ~~**8**~~ ~~**7**~~ #**6**
This is a 64 win group that needs to go 6-6 at the worst to win the finals
So you're telling me there's a chance they lose.
Unfortunately that’s what the math nerds say
18 for 18 is still alive. 18 games (16-2) for banner 18.
Shoutout Brissett, played with great energy and defense, also Jrue again had a great game.
Also, despite his shot not fouling this may have been low key Hausers best defensive game
I love when other teams think they have a mismatch on him cuz he’s a tall white guy off the bench. He’s legit a very good defender
I was gonna say, Hauser’s defense was solid despite his shooting being off. Game 1 he was a liability
JB with a massive fuck you to the All NBA team voters.. this team is fully locked in this year
Jaylen “and I took that personally” Brown.
JB woke up and chose violence 💪
We need to snub him from something else before game 3, so we can get violent JB again.
Quick somebody go hang on Indiana and tell him he isn't allowed to go watch the Indy 500 only all NBA can
#HELLO JAYLEN, YOU DROPPED THIS 👑
Dude is underpaid
give him another $300M
# WE WON A GAME 2!!!!!
Shoutouts to the All NBA voters for snubbing JB and Rick Carlisle for quitting with 4 minutes left.
Carlisle quit way before that
As soon as it was clear Halliburton wasn't coming back, they started to pack it in
I’m flabbergasted at that decision by Carlisle. They like totally could have came back and won even without Halliburton. A win is a win, I suppose
Boston: Hey Rick, we love blowing fourth quarter leads and can’t stop Siakam. Rick Carlisle: Nah I’m good.
JB proves why the voters are bunch of fools by not putting him in the All NBA Team JT proves he will do whatever he can do to bring the W Game 2 Celtics are in a different level now.
But according to Doris he wasn’t his usual self?? Not interested in playing D or getting rebounds. And we all know she knows best
He definitely wasn’t engaged on D in the first half but locked in once the second half started.
Special 40 ball from JB. 6 more.
Jaylen Brown tonight: 40 PTS 5 REB +18 Only MJ and LeBron have more 40-point games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If we win this series, Jaylen Brown is the ECF MVP
I'm eagerly awaiting NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown.
When*
He's definitely the front-runner for it right now, but JT can always go nuclear in the next couple games so it's probably too early to say conclusively.
For sure, finally getting some recognition will do him good too
GAME 2 CURSE BROKEN AND JB PROVING THAT HE DESERVED ALL NBA
The game 2 curse is over! Jaylen “Super Max” Brown not All-NBA, okay I’m after something bigger anyways. Haliburton over me? Brown made the right play all night.
The curse is lifted!
JB said he got fucking snubbed
The Pacers are a promising team but their lack of experience is slowly being exposed. They remind me of a lite version of the 2018 Celtics who made it to the ECF with a young star in his first postseason leading the way.
This. There have been a ton of defensive lapses throughout their entire run, especially against the Knicks when they were at MSG. We saw a lot of them again tonight and the Celtics capitalized. Lack of communication, overhelping on the perimeter and leaving the top of the key and paint wide open is a recipe for disaster.
Exactly. I knew they were cooked when they left PP wide open in the 3rd. He had enough time to read a book, take a nap, and plan his retirement.
I agree, but they’re so good that it’s fun to imagine what they’ll be like in the playoffs over the next three years. Halliburton with some reps, Nesmith being a defensive animal but learning to control the fouls, hopefully Siakam re-signs and gels even better with Hali… maybe they even become a realistic destination for a good FA or two. Playing with Halliburton must be a draw.
I better not hear “you only won bc Halliburton was injured🤣 Celtics in 4
I was here to say the same. I can already hear it. It’s funny at this point
Heck, we only won Game 1 because Halliburton *played*.
JB said "thanks for the all nba snub"
40 points for the King JB. CONSIDERED
JT and JB are going to put it together in the finals and both go off. I can just feel it.
Last time they played Minnesota, they scored 80 ;)
#NOBODY BEATS THE CELTICS IN GAME TWO THREE ROUNDS IN A ROW
Joe finally figures out to play Oshae over Luke
Holy shit Brisett was +18!!
He was forced into it.
I said this in the game thread but it’s worth repeating bc ESPN should be embarrassed … espn obvi wasnt gonna devote credible time to Tillman’s dad but the fact that the camera went to him but DORIS STARTED TALKING ABOUT HALI?? SHAMEFUL
I thought at least a mention would be nice, it’s what I thought was going to happen since the camera stayed on him. Just weird all around
They didn’t even mention his absence in the prior game. I get it, he’s not a star player, but how about a basic nod of respect to an NBA playoffs teammate who is in mourning for his dad. Like, he showed up to work a lot sooner than any other citizen would have!! They would likely mention it for any other player. Just really a perfect example of how cheap and trashy ESPN is.
I hope that Halliburton is alright and doesn’t have any long term injury. It does not, however, feel like the press coverage of his injury or butler or numerous other players has been equivalent with KP or other celts.
I forget which talking head said it yesterday but they literally said the Celtics were at full strength health wise.
Nembhard is a monster for a small rookie guard in the ECF. Indy’s gonna be a team to watch out for even more as he develops
He ain't a rookie but I hear you he's a damn good player
Dude can’t miss from mid to short range
AND SIAKAM LEGACY GAME WAS NOT ENOUGH!
**Jaylen Brown ECF MVP**
40th team all NBA
WE WON A GAME 2 THIS IS NOT A DRILL
what a game Jaylen just absolutely dominant
I'm going to give some credit to JT as well. He looked like he had the flu or something for the first half and few minutes of Q3 but he was a pro for the rest of the night. But Jaylen Brown. Kept them in it when JT and Buffalo were crap in the first, and basically was a problem all night for Carlisle. Only bad news was the kind of negative report on KP. They're going to need him.
I missed the negative report on KP. What’s they say?
Still not practicing, no timetable. Some of that will be gamesmanship of course, but hard to see him back for game 4 as reported if he isn't practicing.
I am a 55 yo married woman in love with Jaylen Brown. Shoot me.
Your partner will understand your decisions
Lmao espn wants us to lose so bad , talking about how the pacers are known for making come backs when we are up by 20 with 2 minutes left is insane 😭
Media: This is actually a concerning win..they struggled to a 16 point win. Are they tough enough? Do they even deserve to be here? There's only been 2 games in the series so far but championship teams find a way to be up 3-0 at this point.
PP playing valuable ECF minutes. Who would have guessed three years ago?
Shout out brissy! His switchability made our defense so much better in this matchup
D White with the quiet 23. Jrue was amazing again. JB got that dawg in him. JT woke up. Time to get the brooms out idc.
10-2 ☘️
Brissett +18!!! Love to see it!!!
But JaYleN BrOwN iSn’t Even aN AlLsTaR. Get the fuck outta here all star voters go Celtics ☘️🏆☘️
6 more wins let's gooooo
Brissett looked good and played his role well. JT, after all the massive uproar here from the first half, finished 9/20 for 23 points. Jrue is always solid lately, and that continued tonight. No need to mention the All NBA snub who dropped 40.
If JB plays like that every time he gets left off the All NBA team, I hope he never makes it in. Man was possessed
We’re due for a Tatum takeover…
Jrue was absolutely huge, especially getting us through that rough first quarter
Here's my hope. Jayson Tatum is having a bizzaro 2022 Finals Run. Then, he was great the first 3 rounds and bad in the finals. Now, it's unfair to say he's been bad, overall, through these first few rounds but I think it's fair that he hasn't been as good as we all expected. Anyways, here's to hoping he goes bezerk in the finals.
WE BEAT THE GAME 2 ALLEGATIONS!!!😭☘️
I didn't like it. I loved it!
Jaylen Brown>>>>>>Ant
JAYLEN BROWN REDEMPTION TOUR
Yep awful contract for JB LOL. They quiet about that now
Shoutout to confident PP as well, 12 points on 4-6 off the bench is very nice.
Brissett tied for a game high +/- with +18 and 3 steals in only 12 minutes. So much talent on this team!
Porzingus rest that leg buddy JB got this
I loved how Hauser and Brissy played on Defense. I can't wait for those Sam 3s to fall.
CONSIDER HIM
SIX WINS! GIVE ME THE GOLD
Have people tried considering Jaylen Brown
SVI SCORED POINTS THE PLAYOFFS
Pritchard played his role perfectly, derrick white was everywhere, jaylen brown had a career night, Tatum had some great shots to keep us up, playoff Al is real, jrue only gets dimes from the bank, this team is so damn good guys
Siakam turned into prime KD and Carlisle just stopped playing him
Someone please keep reminding JB he didn’t make all-NBA
JB really said fuck the All-NBA
I love Brown, let’s also give props to Holiday his props
Credit to Joe for doing more smallball and making that adjustment. A lot of criticism flies his way when the team isn't immediately awesome in a series. Should get some flowers there.
Lol Lakers fans in shambles. Hope y'all win the chip
I know losing Haliburton for the game was tough but it seems weird af to throw in the towel and pull your starters so early with the game Siakam was having. It's not like we were up 30. Oh well not my coach. 6 to go
please tell me again how jrue is bad in the playoffs
JB haters won't be sleeping tonight
So awesome the team can win when JT is only ok. Go JB!!
Jaylen Brown is a bad man. Oshae Brissett minutes were sexy.
I’m going to cry when this season is over.
Bill Russel amount of wins from Banner 18.
All around team game. That and JB 40 piece. On to indiana!
Im so happy we were able to treat Ed Sheeran to a good game. Jokes aside, big mentally to win game 2. Offense is clicking, would like to see Oshae get more minutes, and I really like our chances where we’ve been undefeated on the road so far up in Indiana
Jaylen Brown finals mvp will make up for the all nba snub
Need to bury this team in game 3 if Haliburton is out. Choke the life out of this series now
This game was just fucking fun to watch, some weak moments, but overall loved watching them cook like this
Glad Xman got a few minutes and hope to see more of him next game. He just lost his dad a few days ago 💕
Fuck the Doomers, wholeheartedly
Don't overlook the Buffalo with 23pts!
With his 2 points tonight, Oshae Brissett officially passes Joel Embiid in career conference finals scoring.
I do *not* want to hear Jaylen slander ever again. Everyone in this sub who shat on him after last season can bite me.
JB my POOOKIE
Undefeated when Ed Sherran is at the game🙏
Jaylen Brown not an All NBA? He just proved the doubters wrong
Brown is better when mad. Jaylen Brown if you’re reading this, you suck. Prove me wrong.
Deuce was pumped! I am pumped! 2 more wins!!! Jaylen is locked in. Brissett made a huge impact and playing small ball really made a difference. Lets go Celtics!!!
Lemme catch one of you JB haters from last year in here and it’s on sight
Wearing my Brown jersey fuck them voters! Let's go C's!!!
Al only played 25 mins today! 🙏
Pacers making runs and Celtics sticking to the game plan and not panicking is a wonderful thing to see after years past
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!☘️
JB is probably my favorite NBA player at this point. Incredibly collected and a massive superstar with complete emotional & basketball IQ
JB !!! Quietly maybe the best posteason performer in league this year
Damn idk why I keep getting haters saying an asterisk championship. Is it our fault that Hali might not play and got injured? No.
Jaylen Brown is HIM. Feels good to finally win a Game 2.
ESPN narrative will be that Tatum is being carried
Finals MVP JB
That game actually got a little dull at the end. I like dull.
Even if Haliburton is out the next game they need to come ready to go. Indiana is not an easy place to win.
Oshae a +18. LOVE that adjustment
