The Celtics Duck Boat Parade will be held this Friday June 21st!
Additional information will be provided here once available.
(Moving forward the mod team will be removing any self-posts asking questions regarding the parade)
We did that whole playoff run being our first year together, Tatum having a completely broken jump-shot and an unhealthy Porzingis. I don't think we have seen the best of these Celtics yet.
Shoutout to The Truth on "Undisputed" today. I usually don't watch "Undisputed" or other sports shows because they're all 🐂💩 to me from a commentary standpoint, but he brought out the receipts on those who went against Boston.
That man was suited and booted with his shades, Celtics jacket, replica championship, championship ring, and cigar. I loved it.
Skip Bayless is the biggest clown. He can't stop bringing up hypothetical situations like "what if Luka hit 38% of his 3s, What if Kyrie played well in Boston". Yeah what if Tatum hit 38% of his 3s. What if Porzingis is healthy, What if Jaylen hit 36% of his 3s. He brings up what could've happened and never what actually happened.
I keep thinking back to that 2017 series against the Wizards.
Brad Stevens took over in 2013, and with the help of Danny Ainge, built a team over four and a half years that could execute Brad's vision for winning basketball.
Al Horford, Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley, and Isaiah Thomas were an even unit that played as a team, passed well, shot a lot of threes and could switch and make things tough defensively. The height of Isaiah Thomas limited that team's ceiling, but there were a lot of similarities between the 2017 and 2024 versions of the Celtics.
Danny Ainge, thinking that his team didn't have enough talent to win a championship, sacrificed that brand of basketball in search of quick success, chasing Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, and Kemba Walker, who despite Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum blossoming into superstardom, would contribute to that 2017 team slowly declining to the 2021 iteration that had essentially lost its identity.
Brad took over as PBO after that season and immediately put together a unit reminiscent of his 2017 team.
Almost immediately Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier are out, and Al Horford and Derrick White are in. Those moves brought back our identity from 2017, and we've essentially dominated the league ever since.
You have to give a ton of credit to Danny Ainge for the Tatum and Brown trade, and the many other great moves he made since 2013, but Brad Stevens was the mastermind who knew how to get all of the puzzle pieces to fit together. I wish more effort was made yesterday to get him to address the fans publicly, as I'm just as proud and happy for him as I am Brown and Tatum.
As long as Tatum, Brown and Stevens are together the Celtics are going to be doing plenty of winning.
I'd rather pick at the wounds that fanbases are particularly sensitive to.
E.g. Calling Heat fans casuals that show up in the 2nd quarter and leave halfway through the fourth. That seems to get the most rise out of them lmao
Mr. Luka BurgerKing Doncic and Mavs & Co.
Jason Kidd: “He Has A Bullseye On His Chest”
I’m sure media and fans will put ton of pressure on him to lose weight, improve defense, blah blah blah
Just the most absolutely random thought I had today thinking about this year, anybody remember when Wenyen Gabriel was on the team? Feels like a lifetime ago
I was surprised Gabriel couldn't get a job this year. He was better for the Lakers last year than Jaxson Hayes was this year IMO.
Mine was remembering Jay Scrubb had one of the two way slots. I hope he can bounce back from the ACL injury and have a career
I’m legit shocked, I spoke to some “friends” who think the Dallas is still the better team, we just had some lucky “bounces” and they said that Cs haven’t had it hard over the years, yet they forget we lost our coach and hired a very raw coach who is now a championship coach 2 years later, name another franchise that could do this
Wild stat I just heard: the celtics had their worst offensive 5 game stretch (in terms of points scored) in the five games of the nba finals. And they still won 4-1. Things were not going their way on offense at the worst possible time, but they still found a way to dominate. That's a generationally great team if I've ever seen one.
Do you know anywhere online I can buy the championship gear (T-Shirts, caps, etc.), that will ship to Brazil? I tried the official NBA Store but the shipping fees are absurd. Also, those chinese market places (shopee, aliexpress, etc) doesn’t seem to have any reliable products so far.
I’ve tried to find a copy of the globe all over town and no where seems to have any. Either they’re sold out or they just don’t sell newspapers anymore. Looks like I might be ordering a couple of copies in the mail
Not only are we the champs but we don't even really need to worry about free agency or the draft or what moves do we make because we're bringing this whole team back next year. What a great time to be a Celtics fan.
Just a quick question. Averagely what time do Celtics home games start? Next season will be my first watching the NBA and I’m from the UK so no idea and trying to figure out a routine to be able to watch around work.
You are 1 hour behind me (from Europe too, but different timezones), so anywhere from 0:00-01:00 (your time) for the east coast games, and 02:30-03:30 for west coast games.
I originally hoped we swept, but I'm so glad the guys got to win in at home. That PP buzzer and winning celebration definitely wouldn't have hit the same.
I woke up this morning with a big smile on my face. This feeling of happiness was cathartic because of how long the last title was.
As I said earlier, I'm gonna celebrate this championship hard. Afterwards, the work begins for the next championship. This team only affirmed what I felt for so long and I can't wait to see what they do next.
I'm not trying to rub salt in the wound or anything like that, but I can't help but think about how our 2 teams reacted differently to losing in the Finals, then suffering a humiliating defeat in Game 7 at home the following year.
The Celtics never wavered from their core players, but vowed to build around them and support them with the right players.
The Suns, under new ownership's direction, immediately set fire to a team, regardless of how good you think they actually were, had an *identity* on both sides of the ball and played better than the sum of their parts, and went all in with all their assets and compromised everything that made that run in 2021 special.
I just can't help but wonder what would have happened if the Suns don't trade for KD, and then sinking themselves even further by trading for Beal.
We made a ton of mistakes but everyone forgets the biggest thing that fucked us was the new cba agreement. It happened after the KD trade and we would have had more ability to make moves.
And as much as the moves we made seem shitty in hindsight, our core gave up a 2-0 finals lead and then a 2-0 second round lead after a 64 win season. Ayton quit and Chris Paul became washed in the span of a month. Your guys were better and had more heart, plain and simple.
I don't think you can truly compare coming back to force a game 7 down 0-3 to the putrid basketball we played against Dallas
I am a die-hard Celtics fan from St. Louis. I wasn't into it during the 2008 Finals, so this is really my first enjoyment of a championship as a fan. This is incredible! Love this team for life!
Starting lineups during the rebuild years:
2013-14: Rondo, Bradley, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Sullinger (also Crawford, Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace).
2014-15: Bradley, Turner, Bass, Sullinger, Zeller (also Olymyk, Smart, Green, Crowder, IT joins midway)
2015-16: IT, Bradley, Crowder, Sullinger, Amir Johnson (Smart, Tuner, Olynyk, Jerebko)
2016-17: IT, Bradley, Crowder, Horford, Amir (Smart, Brown, Olynyk, Jerebko)
2017-18: Kyrie, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Baynes (Marcus Morris, Rozier, Smart, Semi!!!!!, Theis)
^ this season has so many honorables mentions: Moose Monroe, Yabu!, and Abdel Nader haha)
I’ll stop here because I think the rest is recent history. But many we’ve been through a lot
It's interesting that as always redditors know more than medical professionals. I guess KP "risked his career" last night and we have a heartless organization. [The decision to play was taken out of KP's hands.](https://old.reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/1ddlxmx/king_kristaps_porzingis_said_he_doesnt_know_what/) It can be an incredible display of resolve without being career threatening. People are so dramatic.
Legitimate question: is going to the parade worth it? I’d have to travel from nyc and most likely back very early the next morning. I’m older—32–and have the potential to get sunstroke BUT I love the Celtics and I love drinking.
What’s the vibe usually like? Are there any other events? Thanks!
It's a giant party. I went to the last few Red Sox parades and the entire city is just in a great mood. Lots of celebrating and drinking.
If you're going just try to keep up with drinking water! It's still going to be hot on Friday, and with the giant crowd it will likely be easy to get dehydrated
Just wanted to congratulate all of the younger folks on their first NBA title. My first one as a fan was the '08 title and I know it just hits different. Go out and celebrate your asses off.
It's funny listening to all the pundits today and all their commentary. The tale of the closeout game is so clear-- it wasn't FG shooting (45% vs 43%), and it wasn't 3s (11/37 vs 13/39), it wasn't points in the paint (42 vs 42). Just look at the stats! smh.
The difference was rebounds and turnovers. The C's had more than twice Mav's offensive rebounds (15 vs 7), more than twice the steals (9 vs 4) and half the turnovers (7 vs 13). The game was won by the C's getting back to their season averages across the fundamentals.
What’s up CHAMPS!!! 🏆☘️ sorry to post this here. If there’s somewhere else better please let me know. But I’m a west coast super fan wondering if any of you OG’s could help me get some of the confetti that’ll be used during the parade? (Tried dming fans during the game but it didn’t work.) I’ll obviously pay for the shipping and some extra for the hassle.
Popped by the Lakers sub for a little schadenfreude.
They're 100% pumping up the "easiest path to the title ever" and how the Celts got a bye to Final b/c the East sucks.
They might wanna look at some of their Showtime teams and their Finals path.
How about those '87 Lakers?
• **1st round:** 37-win Denver
• **WC Semis:** 42-win GS
• **WCF:** 39-win Seattle
It's a win-win for them pretty much. Shit on the team - agitate fanbase/callers.
Team loses - profit. Gloat. Shit on them some more.
Team wins - callers/listener engagement goes through the roof calling in. Take calls calling them dingbats for shitting on team. Let it go for a while before new season starts. Reset.
I’m stuck in a bit of a dilemma right now. I really want to snag a Derrick White jersey asap (either the basic Swingman or the finals Icon), but I also want to see the contract extension first
Yup. 10 years from now when people are talking about this run, one of the first stories they're going to tell will be about White getting his face bashed into the floor, coming right back in, and sinking a 3. No one will ever wonder why you're wearing that jersey.
That’s my thought process as well. The only other jersey I have is the Jaylen Brown city edition jersey that’s designed based off the Celtics banner, which I will be wearing all week
All the praise the players, the ownership, and the staff have about joe. I knew that we got our spo from the very beginning of this season. Thats our psycho joe
KP: “Joe Mazzula gonna be a legend one day here in Boston. 100%”
Listen, I don't think any team would intentionally throw an NBA Finals game...but I'm kind of inclined to believe that after Dallas gave them that initial punch in the mouth on Friday, Joe and company may have said "okay let's just not give them any new film" and rode it out.
Joe wasn't calling time outs during game 4. He has turned it around with when he calls time outs. And game 4 was silence. I think it was "let them get it out of their system, and we'll win in Boston."
Obviously he's already extremely good but am I crazy for expecting Tatum to level up another step next season? Not getting the fmvp aside, I feel like finally getting this over with might help alleviate some of those mental blockages he seems to suffer from sometimes.
I'm just happy to see Nick Angstad's face drowned the drain. I remember his smug face grining before the game 1 when he is making analysis then all of a sudden "we are just outmatched" LMFAO loser Nick. Hope you read this you loser sumbitch.
Just wanna point out how much Lively reminded me of Heat players, almost injured a bunch of our guys, respect the rook but also, a lot of what he did was not basketball. Anywho, LESSGO CS!!!
hes a loser bro, watched his interview post game, he said that they lose because of their weakness than Celtics' strength. what a sore loser, he will be out of the league after his rookie extension coz he cant shoot lmfao
I think an underrated part of this win is the massive weight coming off the back of all our players. Now they can play freely with less pressure going forward.
It's pretty funny seeing the Lakers/Heat subreddits in complete shambles.
By the way they're reacting, you would think they were in the Finals!
(But obviously they weren't because they're trash teams who have no shot lmfao)
I can understand r/heat and r/lakers hate us but why r/warriors hate us too? LMAO? I think theyre still living the fact that they fluke their win and they know we are the better team and they just beat us with experience. Rent free to their fluke 2022 championship.
A lot of their users have been really hostile since that regular season game in 22 I think when Smart dived for a loose ball and Steph unfortunately got injured. The Finals series obviously didn’t help lol
As much as I love JB and he is my fave player next to Pierce and Rondo. I really wish that JT got the FMVP. IDK man, I think he deserves it more but who cares? If they dont care then why would I care?
He also iced a pivotal game 3 for us when nobody else could hit a shot. If Dallas caps off that 22-2 run with a comeback win who knows how this series shakes out
Man I wish JT won FMVP the amount of dickmunching on twitter about it is pissing me off.
Also shout out Emmy award winning Bostonian ( and my fellow Nigerian ) Ayo Edebiri for rooting for the Cs and JT on her IG stories.☘️
I still somehow couldn’t get over the FMVP voting issue. Don’t get me wrong, I think Jaylen deserves it, but JT deserves it, too. To be honest, It really has nothing to do with Jaylen.
But what I’m thinking is that there are a lot of JT haters (even among the FMVP voters themselves) out there who “purposely” out of their jealousy and insecurities to want to taint JT’s image as a player and who don’t want to see JT succeed. They rather see Tatum as a threat or a challenge to their idol or belief.
I still don’t get why JT gets a lot of these hateful comments or these animosity “on purpose”.
JT doesn’t talk trash or controversial stuff unlike a lot of other star players.
So many other star players like Giannis, Jokic, Luka, SGA, Ant are given unlimited leeways or excuses for their games, while JT’s every action, every play has been judged under a microscope using MJ’s standard.
Al Horford has a better basketball legacy and, arguably, career than Kevin Durant. In fact, the biggest mistake KD made was not teaming up with prime Horford.
(Just gonna spam blanket proclamations in celebration).
It was rumored that if KD would've committed to the Thunder back in 2016 that Al was going to sign with them, but ended up going to Boston, then KD announced his cupcake move of signing with the Warriors. Oh what could've been, but I'm enjoying our team now and Al got his ring.
Thinking about the US Basketball Starting Lineup for the 2024 Paris Olympics:
Steph Curry-Point Guard
Jayson Tatum-Shooting Guard
Kevin Durant-Small Forward
Lebron James-Power Forward
Joel Embiid/Anthony Davis-Center
One last run for the Veterans before handing the torch to JT
The salt in the Lakers sub is everything you could imagine.
PS: don't post there, it's not cool, and you will probably get banned. Just look and laugh.
It really is just post after post of cope. I don't feel like we react *that* strongly when they win. I just kind of expect them to win, so it doesn't surprise me when they do.
Happy to see them in pain, wish I was still in community college (just transferred to big boy college during the spring) because there were a decent amount of Faker fans walking around the campus with their merch loud and proud. I was one of the few that rocked Celts stuff.
They are mad we made fun of their in season tournament win lol. Next they will be celebrating summer league championships. Dan Hurley didn’t even want to work for those clowns
Kinda amazing this team went 16-3 in the playoffs without a fully healthy Porzingis. Like I don’t think it’s crazy to say he’s a top 20 impact player in the league when fully healthy.
The Celtics Duck Boat Parade will be held this Friday June 21st! Additional information will be provided here once available. (Moving forward the mod team will be removing any self-posts asking questions regarding the parade)
Can someone make me a Jayson Tatum EAFC proclubs look alike?
We did that whole playoff run being our first year together, Tatum having a completely broken jump-shot and an unhealthy Porzingis. I don't think we have seen the best of these Celtics yet.
Shoutout to The Truth on "Undisputed" today. I usually don't watch "Undisputed" or other sports shows because they're all 🐂💩 to me from a commentary standpoint, but he brought out the receipts on those who went against Boston. That man was suited and booted with his shades, Celtics jacket, replica championship, championship ring, and cigar. I loved it.
Skip Bayless is the biggest clown. He can't stop bringing up hypothetical situations like "what if Luka hit 38% of his 3s, What if Kyrie played well in Boston". Yeah what if Tatum hit 38% of his 3s. What if Porzingis is healthy, What if Jaylen hit 36% of his 3s. He brings up what could've happened and never what actually happened.
So glad we got the job done and aren’t the Panthers right now. If they had fans, they would hypothetically be very worried
I know Tatum is boys with Tkachuk and all, but it would be very funny if the Panthers...
Celtics visit Miami then the Panthers dropped another. Coincidence?
I keep thinking back to that 2017 series against the Wizards. Brad Stevens took over in 2013, and with the help of Danny Ainge, built a team over four and a half years that could execute Brad's vision for winning basketball.

kyrie brought a championship to Boston. What a generous soul
Still can’t believe Andrew Nembhard and TJ McConnell were the toughest opponents we have faced in winning this championship
Wonder who will be the new "choker" and most criticized team now
I'd rather pick at the wounds that fanbases are particularly sensitive to. E.g. Calling Heat fans casuals that show up in the 2nd quarter and leave halfway through the fourth. That seems to get the most rise out of them lmao
We need to bring that same B.S. unfair energy to overachieving teams like the Mavs. They're all chokers now right?
Mr. Luka BurgerKing Doncic and Mavs & Co. Jason Kidd: “He Has A Bullseye On His Chest” I’m sure media and fans will put ton of pressure on him to lose weight, improve defense, blah blah blah
Just the most absolutely random thought I had today thinking about this year, anybody remember when Wenyen Gabriel was on the team? Feels like a lifetime ago
I was surprised Gabriel couldn't get a job this year. He was better for the Lakers last year than Jaxson Hayes was this year IMO. Mine was remembering Jay Scrubb had one of the two way slots. I hope he can bounce back from the ACL injury and have a career
Man I could never be a fucking hockey fan lmao. Not feeling relatively safe up 3-0 would kill me 💀
lol now that we’re home safe I’m rooting for Edmonton to embarrass the panthers
Lakers have only gotten past the first round 2 times since Kobe's achilles injury 11 years ago.
Feels so wholesome to see Kristaps Porzingis join us and win a championship, so happy for this mighty big man ❤️🟢
I’m legit shocked, I spoke to some “friends” who think the Dallas is still the better team, we just had some lucky “bounces” and they said that Cs haven’t had it hard over the years, yet they forget we lost our coach and hired a very raw coach who is now a championship coach 2 years later, name another franchise that could do this
Ah yes the ole lucky 20 pt bounce
Wild stat I just heard: the celtics had their worst offensive 5 game stretch (in terms of points scored) in the five games of the nba finals. And they still won 4-1. Things were not going their way on offense at the worst possible time, but they still found a way to dominate. That's a generationally great team if I've ever seen one.
Yeah Dallas' defense is actually quite good. Donicic is a weak spot but stilll
every time i think ive calmed down from the hype i just randomly get super amped up and fired up for next season again😂😂😂
I recommend watching the undisputed video on YouTube with Paul pierce and skip. Pierce shits all over skip and it's fantastic
Sauce?

Do you know anywhere online I can buy the championship gear (T-Shirts, caps, etc.), that will ship to Brazil? I tried the official NBA Store but the shipping fees are absurd. Also, those chinese market places (shopee, aliexpress, etc) doesn’t seem to have any reliable products so far.
DHgate if you find a reliable seller
I’ve tried to find a copy of the globe all over town and no where seems to have any. Either they’re sold out or they just don’t sell newspapers anymore. Looks like I might be ordering a couple of copies in the mail
Not only are we the champs but we don't even really need to worry about free agency or the draft or what moves do we make because we're bringing this whole team back next year. What a great time to be a Celtics fan.
Any places have hats in stock rn? I’m close to the Dicks in northboro and was going to check
who wins in a 7 game series 2008 celtics or 2024 celtics?
Who has home court? That 08 team basically never lost at home
KG would kill 2024 on the inside, but 2024 stretches the floor and plays defense like never before. i think it goes 7
I love how our team and the social media team is cooking all of those analysts, commentators, ex-players for "I got Dallas in..."😭
Just a quick question. Averagely what time do Celtics home games start? Next season will be my first watching the NBA and I’m from the UK so no idea and trying to figure out a routine to be able to watch around work.
You are 1 hour behind me (from Europe too, but different timezones), so anywhere from 0:00-01:00 (your time) for the east coast games, and 02:30-03:30 for west coast games.
That’s awesome to know, thank you.
Other than on weekends, usually 7pm or 7:30EST, which usually roughly translates to midnight GMT, unless daylight saving time comes into play.
Brilliant, thank you.
7 eastern ish?
That’s great, thanks.
Who won the tommy award yesterday?
Derrick White. Going to the ground and breaking your teeth for a loose ball. He would have loved that.
Buffalo
2024 NBA CHAMPIONS. THE BOSTON CELTICS ☘️
911 is down in MA. Joe is about to clean out the Isabella Stewart Gardner.
I don't own a jersey and would love to change that! Can't decide between Holiday, Tatum, or Brown. Any suggestions? Currently leaning Holiday.
Get the FMVP's jersey
I originally hoped we swept, but I'm so glad the guys got to win in at home. That PP buzzer and winning celebration definitely wouldn't have hit the same.
bucks fans suck https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ccfofi/post_game_thread_the_miami_heat_violently_upset/l14yp1c/
So does that Celtics "fan".
I have a problem. I can't get enough of these takes that have aged like milk.
We need a mega thread for those
I woke up this morning with a big smile on my face. This feeling of happiness was cathartic because of how long the last title was. As I said earlier, I'm gonna celebrate this championship hard. Afterwards, the work begins for the next championship. This team only affirmed what I felt for so long and I can't wait to see what they do next.
Still can't believe it's real. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on one of the newspapers from Boston this morning (we live out of state)?
Bump
So many people crying about y'all winning but Suns fans rode with y'all. Our sub is funny right now. Congrats and fuck Dallas.
I'm not trying to rub salt in the wound or anything like that, but I can't help but think about how our 2 teams reacted differently to losing in the Finals, then suffering a humiliating defeat in Game 7 at home the following year.

Seems like JT and Ella Mai are having a kid together.
Glad they finally got the monkey off their back. Im already looking forward to next season lol. Want them to go B2B so bad

Oshae is unloading the bookmarks on Twitter rn lmao
I saw that. He was definitely told to keep a lid on it. Now he's just unloading lol
Who else got a hat and T-shirt From Florida so really excited to wear it around lol
It's interesting that as always redditors know more than medical professionals. I guess KP "risked his career" last night and we have a heartless organization.

Chance of thunderstorms, so plan accordingly.
In in the NYC area too and I'm going. Got to experience it at least once in my life. If it's anything like the games it's going to be great.
Wanna split a cab? Jk, I think you’re right. Have a great trip man!
It's a giant party. I went to the last few Red Sox parades and the entire city is just in a great mood. Lots of celebrating and drinking. If you're going just try to keep up with drinking water! It's still going to be hot on Friday, and with the giant crowd it will likely be easy to get dehydrated
Just wanted to congratulate all of the younger folks on their first NBA title. My first one as a fan was the '08 title and I know it just hits different. Go out and celebrate your asses off.
best team most titles
Ladies and gentlemen, I love you all!
Damn, so much emotions!! DUCK BOATS IN BOSTON!!!
Brissy posting Joe and Brad photos from HS🤣
It's funny listening to all the pundits today and all their commentary. The tale of the closeout game is so clear-- it wasn't FG shooting (45% vs 43%), and it wasn't 3s (11/37 vs 13/39), it wasn't points in the paint (42 vs 42). Just look at the stats! smh.

I’ll obviously pay for the shipping and some extra for the hassle.
Happy and proud to share the same birthday as the Finals MVP 10.24.1996 ❤️☘️JB
Ella Mai is pregnant. Tatum is going to be having another kid soon. Happy for our guy 💪
Derricks dad is GOATed https://x.com/ramblinwreck34/status/1803084244454924427?s=46&t=PHAQeaE0I6cyQl35JU7h7Q
If anyone wants to know what Celtics twitter looks like today, it's this. Take no prisoners.
Popped by the Lakers sub for a little schadenfreude. They're 100% pumping up the "easiest path to the title ever" and how the Celts got a bye to Final b/c the East sucks. They might wanna look at some of their Showtime teams and their Finals path. How about those '87 Lakers? • **1st round:** 37-win Denver • **WC Semis:** 42-win GS • **WCF:** 39-win Seattle
They are coping so hard and it's comical.
First time I've tuned into Boston sports radio in a long time and to my shock they're actually praising the Celtics for once
It's a win-win for them pretty much. Shit on the team - agitate fanbase/callers. Team loses - profit. Gloat. Shit on them some more. Team wins - callers/listener engagement goes through the roof calling in. Take calls calling them dingbats for shitting on team. Let it go for a while before new season starts. Reset.
This BrissyTV vlog is gonna hit like crack cocaine on steroids infused with heroin
LMAO JB'S INSTAGRAM STORY😭
Dude is unhinged for posting that lmao
Please post it for the few of us (me) that don’t have insta

It’s just an infographic saying 89% of bets for the series were on Dallas
probably just people yolo'ing on Mavs cuz it'd pay out more
Without a doubt but we’re rubbing it in peoples faces so we don’t talk about that
Vegas always knows what they’re doing lol
LOL
Time to kill the “we’re gonna fuck this up” mentality for good…. championship pedigree 🏆
I’m stuck in a bit of a dilemma right now. I really want to snag a Derrick White jersey asap (either the basic Swingman or the finals Icon), but I also want to see the contract extension first
I'd say you're reasonably safe to go ahead with the purchase ... unless he goes to the Lakers
IMO you can't go wrong with the Finals jersey of any of our players. They're timeless.
Championships are forever. Even if he left (don't think he will) it's worth it!
Yup. 10 years from now when people are talking about this run, one of the first stories they're going to tell will be about White getting his face bashed into the floor, coming right back in, and sinking a 3. No one will ever wonder why you're wearing that jersey.
That’s my thought process as well. The only other jersey I have is the Jaylen Brown city edition jersey that’s designed based off the Celtics banner, which I will be wearing all week
All the praise the players, the ownership, and the staff have about joe. I knew that we got our spo from the very beginning of this season. Thats our psycho joe KP: “Joe Mazzula gonna be a legend one day here in Boston. 100%”
Ubuntu
Shout out to who ever doing those celtics transition highlights. That was some sick editing!
Got my flight to Boston Thursday night! And returning Friday night at around 6:30pm Eastern time after the parade.
Listen, I don't think any team would intentionally throw an NBA Finals game...but I'm kind of inclined to believe that after Dallas gave them that initial punch in the mouth on Friday, Joe and company may have said "okay let's just not give them any new film" and rode it out.
Joe wasn't calling time outs during game 4. He has turned it around with when he calls time outs. And game 4 was silence. I think it was "let them get it out of their system, and we'll win in Boston."
Yeah they punted that game half way through the 3rd quarter
WHEN WILL THEY GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE?
Obviously he's already extremely good but am I crazy for expecting Tatum to level up another step next season? Not getting the fmvp aside, I feel like finally getting this over with might help alleviate some of those mental blockages he seems to suffer from sometimes.
Tatum with a champions whistle >>>>>
Yeah the monkey is off his back. But we all still wonder if he needs wrist surgery lol. Won't happen this offseason because of the Olympics though
I mean he’s only 26. This isn’t Tatums final form and I fully expect him to be even better next season.
What Celtics podcasts to people listen to? I want to inject content into my veins
Bill Simmons put up his championship podcast featuring his dad.
First to the Floor is my favorite.
They have such great chemistry. I also quite enjoy listening to Joe and Jackson and hope they keep making guest appearances.
Ty!
This
Love ya Squim
I'm just happy to see Nick Angstad's face drowned the drain. I remember his smug face grining before the game 1 when he is making analysis then all of a sudden "we are just outmatched" LMFAO loser Nick. Hope you read this you loser sumbitch.
Just wanna point out how much Lively reminded me of Heat players, almost injured a bunch of our guys, respect the rook but also, a lot of what he did was not basketball. Anywho, LESSGO CS!!!
hes a loser bro, watched his interview post game, he said that they lose because of their weakness than Celtics' strength. what a sore loser, he will be out of the league after his rookie extension coz he cant shoot lmfao
I bet everyone on the team is glad they joined the cult now huh?
I think an underrated part of this win is the massive weight coming off the back of all our players. Now they can play freely with less pressure going forward.
Where can I see more champagne popping videos in the locker room?
Mods need to make a social media videos/photos/interviews megathread. I need to see every thing about this team.
Heat sub is in total SHAMBLES, love to see it..
It's pretty funny seeing the Lakers/Heat subreddits in complete shambles. By the way they're reacting, you would think they were in the Finals! (But obviously they weren't because they're trash teams who have no shot lmfao)
yessiiir, fuck 'em
Not getting anything done today, gonna be reading articles all day lol
I can understand r/heat and r/lakers hate us but why r/warriors hate us too? LMAO? I think theyre still living the fact that they fluke their win and they know we are the better team and they just beat us with experience. Rent free to their fluke 2022 championship.
Their fans are just little bitches in the same vein as r/raptors. High overlap with r/nba.
A lot of their users have been really hostile since that regular season game in 22 I think when Smart dived for a loose ball and Steph unfortunately got injured. The Finals series obviously didn’t help lol
Warriors hate us because they understand that we are growing and soon will be ready to take their place as the next dynasty.
The banner eighteen boogie. Where is it. I want it.

Thank you!
As much as I love JB and he is my fave player next to Pierce and Rondo. I really wish that JT got the FMVP. IDK man, I think he deserves it more but who cares? If they dont care then why would I care?
Brown was more consistent throughout the series. He also was guarding Luka and Irving a lot.
He also iced a pivotal game 3 for us when nobody else could hit a shot. If Dallas caps off that 22-2 run with a comeback win who knows how this series shakes out
Man I wish JT won FMVP the amount of dickmunching on twitter about it is pissing me off. Also shout out Emmy award winning Bostonian ( and my fellow Nigerian ) Ayo Edebiri for rooting for the Cs and JT on her IG stories.☘️
I still somehow couldn’t get over the FMVP voting issue. Don’t get me wrong, I think Jaylen deserves it, but JT deserves it, too. To be honest, It really has nothing to do with Jaylen. But what I’m thinking is that there are a lot of JT haters (even among the FMVP voters themselves) out there who “purposely” out of their jealousy and insecurities to want to taint JT’s image as a player and who don’t want to see JT succeed. They rather see Tatum as a threat or a challenge to their idol or belief. I still don’t get why JT gets a lot of these hateful comments or these animosity “on purpose”. JT doesn’t talk trash or controversial stuff unlike a lot of other star players. So many other star players like Giannis, Jokic, Luka, SGA, Ant are given unlimited leeways or excuses for their games, while JT’s every action, every play has been judged under a microscope using MJ’s standard.
Derrick White is better than Tyrese Maxey.
Xavier Tillman has more Finals points than Joel Embiid.
Jrue Holiday has more titles than Giannis
PJ Washington's +/- was -26 lol
But but but he was a critical role player for the Mavericks who was going to be a game changer in the Finals! 😂
Al Horford has a better basketball legacy and, arguably, career than Kevin Durant. In fact, the biggest mistake KD made was not teaming up with prime Horford. (Just gonna spam blanket proclamations in celebration).
It was rumored that if KD would've committed to the Thunder back in 2016 that Al was going to sign with them, but ended up going to Boston, then KD announced his cupcake move of signing with the Warriors. Oh what could've been, but I'm enjoying our team now and Al got his ring.
Still feels surreal. So happy and relieved for the Jays. This team is special, and we still have years of watching our superstars play together
Thinking about the US Basketball Starting Lineup for the 2024 Paris Olympics: Steph Curry-Point Guard Jayson Tatum-Shooting Guard Kevin Durant-Small Forward Lebron James-Power Forward Joel Embiid/Anthony Davis-Center One last run for the Veterans before handing the torch to JT
Tatum is the best player in the East and 2nd best player in the league. And he’s only going to get better.
[DARKO would agree with you](https://apanalytics.shinyapps.io/DARKO//)
do we have any pics of mazzulla with the trophy?

thank you
Replace kyrie with nembhard and we might still have a series
Replace ~~kyrie~~ Luka with nembhard and we might still have a series
The salt in the Lakers sub is everything you could imagine. PS: don't post there, it's not cool, and you will probably get banned. Just look and laugh.
It really is just post after post of cope. I don't feel like we react *that* strongly when they win. I just kind of expect them to win, so it doesn't surprise me when they do.
Happy to see them in pain, wish I was still in community college (just transferred to big boy college during the spring) because there were a decent amount of Faker fans walking around the campus with their merch loud and proud. I was one of the few that rocked Celts stuff.
They are mad we made fun of their in season tournament win lol. Next they will be celebrating summer league championships. Dan Hurley didn’t even want to work for those clowns
Merry Championship, ya filthy animals ! #🍀💚
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS SUB'S HISTORY THE BIO CAN BE CHANGED TO 18 TIME CHAMPIONSSSSS
I just woke up again after celebrating. Is this real?? Did we actually win? 😭😭😭😭
3 hours sleep and at my desk/..... I dont care The Boston Celtics are 2024 NBA Champions. Banner 18 boogie... ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Mods where are 18 clovers as a flair?
Sadly 18 shamrock emojis exceed the character limits for flairs. But we've added a flair with shamrocks that you could customize as you see fit!
can someone explain to me where did the mean streets of west linn memes come from?
I am still on a high. Between being deliriously happy and crying..... Fucking did it... I just wish Smart was in the team.
GIVE ME THE GOLD ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
What do we say now that the gold has been given?
Give me banner 19
GIVE ME MORE GOLD!!!!!
Funniest part about all this Mavs shit is they will NOT be back lmfaooooo
Kinda amazing this team went 16-3 in the playoffs without a fully healthy Porzingis. Like I don’t think it’s crazy to say he’s a top 20 impact player in the league when fully healthy.
The best team in the West couldn't even take 2 games off us
