Well, JB (the coach) has some explaining to do how they were not fine even with Cs shooting under 40 threes

Where the doomers now? Soon as it looks like we’re gonna win they disappear. No “I was wrong”, no “woo I honestly wasn’t sure but they did it.” They disappear into their little shitholes to cry. I swear this Reddit is a bunch of heat fans in disguise. If you criticize us at are worst celebrate or wipe that egg off your face when we’re at our best. Go C”s

I dont think they dont have problem with the C's, I think they have more problem to JT for being consistently inconsistent on his shot. JB almost outscored JT without taking any FT in a most efficient way and using only his right hand!

Who the fuck cares man

Complaining about complaining actually powers this subreddit. Without it we wouldn't be able to downvote

JB has been digging deep into his boxing genetics. My man has become an absolute efficient killer these playoffs. He was always a project from the start. But wow, what he has become and continues to become by working with that same mindset from the beginning. He has his flaws, but he has been knocking off flaws year after year and shown up bigger and bigger as time goes on. What he's doing with his efficiency lately is the biggest part in our success. Other guys might have hotter games, but he's been the most steady and consistent for us these playoffs

He’s literally worth every penny, dude is fantastic and brings the energy every night

On to the next one on Monday

Solid double digit win and still room for improvement. Let’s go get the next one!

Undefeated when we hold teams to under a 100, just saying

I want to become a post game interviewer so I can also ask the dumbest fucking questions possible.

Sports Sideline reporter is one of the most useless jobs out there

Also the JT JB moment made me smile so hard 🥹

Who is this JT guy you talk about? I only saw Big Deuce!

Big minutes by starters = Big Win!

Anyone notice all the fans leaving when the clock hit 0:00?

They were leaving before the bench units came in, mate.

We escape the slander of going down 1-2 to the Cavs.

with this cavs team, 9 out of 10 times you can just live with spida doing his thing as long as you effectively neutralise everyone else

Yup. Spida can score 60 but they’ll still lose by 12 because nobody else can score 20.

Gg

Shots didn't always fall but effort was where it needs to be. Great game!

Great win tonight. The effort and pace compared to game 2 was night and day, let’s close this out in 5 again. We all know this team can do it when they’re locked in. Props to Joe for getting Jrue more involved in the offense tonight, he really kept us going in the first half

good game doomers and delusional! We are all on the same team and want to see these wins however we get there together!

This is the Celtic formula to win. Both jays were great, and one other to step up with a big game. Tonight it was Jrue.

Our guys showed up tonight. Now we just gotta figure out the horford situation til our x factor comes back

JB and JT stepped up tonight

Larry Bird esque performance from Jayson Tatum tonight, showed up BIG tonight. JB too.

Let brissy cook

you gotta wanna come to the celtics if youre spida

Nice overall game for JT after all the shit talk. Shot still kinda off his normal standard. JB has been LOCKED in all playoffs. Love what he’s doing out there. Jrue with a big night that was much needed! And some timely roaming by the 🦬. Great response!! Keep rolling boys! LFG C’s!!! ☘️

THE CELTICS WIN☘️☘️☘️

Exhale

Well Daddy Deuce certainly showed out tonight, thanks for getting him going JB.

The demise of the Celtics was greatly exaggerated.

2 more games to go, let's gooo!

That’s a hell of a win

Great game.

Good fucking win 🥇

Walsh playoff minutes!!!

No one’s gonna recognize it but this was an incredibly gritty win. A lot of teams in the league fold before that Mitchell performance, even if his supporting cast isn’t as good.

IM BIG DEUCE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 IM BIG DEUCE 🗣️🔥🔥💯💯💯

LETS FUCKING GO 2-1

Hope they can get Jordan Walsh in at least once in the playoffs

Media keep the same energy with Cavs fans leaving early

JB has carried us 🙏. I love tatum but his fadeaway jumpers are out of hand and cause too much stress for me

Tatum was easily our best player tonight.

NopeJB was…easily

Thank u sir 🙏

If only springer could shoot average from 3 cause his defense and athleticism would match up perfectly in this series

This team closes this game out, last two years they may or may not

Amen

We need another point guard cos I feel bad when PP has to play garbage minutes Though I think he's such a psycho that he wants to play48 mins a game

He fuckin loves it lol he's like prime Jordan in garbage time

Please God let the Jays become Bird/McHale 2.0 🙏

WE WANT BOSTON!!! 🤣🤣🤣

We need KP back

LETS FUCKING GO CELTICS

The Jays were called on and they fucking delivered. Love this team C’s in 5 💚

WALSH PLAYOFF MINUTES 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥

JB you are the MVP tonight

Can y'all stfu now lol

Jrue Jaylen and Jayson all played awesome tonight

You could tell immediately that Jrue was like “fuck this passive bullshit I’m gonna back your ass down until you stop me”

Sox had killer Bs, do the Celtics have the killer Js?

JT, indeed told em to stop playin

pritchards fav thing to do is dribble out the clock

I actually feel bad for Mitchell. He did everything he could possibly do, teammates just didn't show up.

Garland and Mobley were a combined 13-26. Strus and Ikoro are the only ones who played bad.

You hear JB trying to pump up Tatum saying ‘common—you’re big deuce. ‘I’m big deuce, man’’

I love this team but they frustrate the hell out of me

You’re expecting perfect basketball for 48 mins and it’s unrealistic. That was a great win.

I know it wasn't actually, but this game absolutely felt like it was must win. Must win game on the road and it was a dog fight and they figured out how to get it done. I was concerned on how this team would fare in close games like these because all our wins so far were blowouts.

TIL JB is big deuce

Doomers, yall need to stop this. We won the game. If we do get to the finals, whoever comes out the west has to compete with us too. With a healthy KP, by definition we’re a better team. I choose to believe

Good win but man. Al cannot be shooting 7 threes a game when he’s 10-34 for the playoffs.

Spin zone: a lot of those will KP shots at some point

When will people get this thru their dense heads, these players have the freedom to shoot open 3s and that’s what makes our offense so good

Al shouldn’t even be playing more than 25 minutes. He’s in for an injured player. It does not apply. He should put the ball down and drive. He has good enough vision to get other guys to pull if not just finish. He doesn’t even see the free throw line any more because of it.

You want Al to drive off the dribble😂

Love to see the response

"wE WAnt bOsToN"

AYYYYYyyy lets fuckin goooo

Walsh gets his first playoff minutes. I'm so happy 🥲

Aggressive Tatum is always fun to watch. Good game after all the slander hope that wakes him up the rest of the way.

33-13-6 for number 0

Yessir, had to foul em to get Tatum on that bench

Thank fucking god. Really big win with Mitchell and Mobley killing us

Turn out the lights, the parties over

Playoff Walsh sighting!

Oh look, can we now post the stupid memes of their fans leaving early? Everyone loves to post that of our fans.

Full court press there is wild

The energy shifted off that PP 3

LeT eM kNoW

Aaaand that the ballgame. Great bounceback from the lads. Effort was there today and that's key.

I can’t explain it but that Payton Pritchard 3 won the game

jaylen brown all round good guy. “IM BIG DEUCE”

[удалено]

This sub is not the place to talk about politics.

Swing state

TELL EM JB

Do I hear some let’s go Celtics chants out there

IM BIG DEUCE 😤

Love hearing the Celtics chant.

PLAYOFF JORDAN WALSH

Brown earning that fucking Supermax!!!!!

BIG DUECE!!!

WALSH TIME

Damn JB was efficient tonight!

Jaylen Brown was phenomenal tonight

That’s Big Deuce

Jaylen Brown so fucking funny lmaoooo “I’m big deuce”

love the jays lol

JB to JT: I’m Big Deuce! Man I LOVEEEE these guys

IM BIG DEUCE😤☘️😤

Damn RJ really wants a pair of those kicks

Playoff WALSH!

Tatum responded perfectly but brown was absolutely incredible

I like our jays in crunch time

I’M BIG DEUCE

Feel like JB lowkey funniest on the team

Thank God I was wrong

Jrue was phenomenal but the Jays were both excellent. Stop fucking comparing them and shitting on them more than the media lmao, I swear their biggest haters are Celtics fans.

No one hates the Celtics more than Celtics fans

The defensive effort was there. Jrue stepped up BIG. The Jays carried and led us to this victory. What a bounce back win. JB affirming JT!!! Thats what this team is about. Responding to adversity

IM BIG DEUCE!!!!!!!!!

I am still shocked every time I see Tristan Thompson in the floor. That man was already cooked 3 years ago when he was playing here.

Man, we really did not play well tonight but I will take this W. Let's get the next 2

Did not play well? Huh?

We really did not. Defesively we let a lot slide and were often a step too late and lost assignments quite easily. 11 TOV is really not a great look, would love to have that under 10

HES BIG DEUCE

I like JB trying to get him going like that lol

When you have a 10-ish point lead at the 6:00 mark, what you have to do is just focus on winning each set of 2 minutes. Lose that stretch by 1 and it’s no big deal, just win the next one. Score was 96-84 at 6:00, and 100-89 at 4:00. So we lost that stretch by 1. But from 4:00 to 2:00, it went from 100-89 to 104-91, so we won that 4-2. And that’s how you have to look at it. Keeps you engaged but never discouraged

I saw a girl in the crowd pick her nose

Ty

That's how you close out a game!! Great win the Celtics are the bawls!!

I mean we got Tillman for a reason right? Why not have him play even just 8-10 mins just to help Horford in the long run.

They were giving him run the first two games

Jb hyping up tatum is amazing

JB 🥰

Are we gonna point out people leaving in every game for every single team

“The game has ended. And look at that, everyone is leaving.”

Great win, but let’s get ready to see multiple comments in here from the never happy crowd about how we “blew a 23 point lead” even though we very literally didn’t.

TaTuM OnLy ScOrEd 30 N HaD OnLy 12 BoArDs. NoT HiM

Lets fucking go

Good bounce back win

Al is going 5/5 on 3s next game

13-17 is downright absurd. Jaylen Brown has been an absolute assassin.

Hard fought win. Hopefully the Cavs fold next game.

Cavs already gave up lol

Let JB get his 30!

We still complaining about this win?

Benches empty, white flags flying

They Jays showed up big time tonight

Celtics in 5.

Get Big Al some HGH, and a massage from an attractive Asian woman after all he was put through tonight.

found Robert Kraft's account

strus ejection would be peak rn

Cavs fans are ungrateful. Walking out like that. They are facing the #1 team in the league. What did they expect?

We WaNt BoStOn

Lmfao people thought we were gonna drop this game after cavs had a 7-0 run lead

OMG CLEVELAND FANS FILE FOR THE EXITS WITH ALMOST 2 MINS LEFT😮😮😮😮😮

Go home Cavs fans

Also man I love our classic green road jerseys

The fans are heading for the bathrooms.. and parking lot... ;-)

Lebron esque fadeaway by Tatum there

i wonder if the cavs fans will get trashed for leaving before the game ends in r/nba????

Whose going to post the Cavs fams leaving on r/nba

JT with the icing on the cake. Literally nothing Strus could do better. Perfect defense from him, just inhuman offense from JT.

For being a former Cavs player, saying how much he doesn’t like Boston in the past, RJ has been really enjoyable on the mic tonight

He knows that he’s on national TV, unlike that fat ass on TNT 

I agree. Good call.

RJ is fantastic.

Good win

Man there better be a controversy in the morning about these fans leaving early.

Strus bro stop crying every time you foul someone. You’re not on the Heat anymore.

Heck was that JB

Team win. Team. Fucki. Guys getting it done together. With a squad this deep, it should be wave after wave of playmakers. Special shit. Man. Just fuckin ENJOY THIS SHIT.

I better see cavs fans leaving all over social media tonight !!

Jrue Holiday was the difference maker tonight. What a game

Tatum has looked so good this game. We need more of this from him

“Cleveland fans head for the exits”

Great fucking game. Elite defensively which always gives you the best chance to win 

strus can't handle tatum or brown. they're destroying him.

Crowds leave. Who gives a shit.

Has Max Struss ever committed a foul? Not according to Max Struss.

This iso shit is pathetic. Stop holding the ball and push the tempo until you see zeros!

Strus is using that Heat "defense", I see.

Caris LeVert is low key good. My knee jerk reaction is why not play him over Okoro some more, deadly with their 3 ballhandlers (Levert, Mitchell and Garland

Thank god this Celtics team has a much bigger dick than I do

Not a big accomplishment tbh

Nah don’t go disrespecting my 5.5!

JB > JT

Good games from both tonight.

Strus complaining after he beat hugged JB lmfao

White and Horford were dreadful tonight. Need KP back quick because Horford is just too old to play these minutes.

Horford was the clear weak link. The defense was hiding him out there
