Boston could win by an average of 40 points and they'd still discredit them somehow
But they didnt win by an average of 40.. They barely beat the Pacers by a few pts in 3 of the 4 wins, a team they shouldve beaten by an average of 20
@@Nostalgia9478so cause they didnt win by 20, the wins dont matter?
@@TheUniversalRockerSo barely beating a JV team by 3-5 pts is as impressive as beating them by an average of 20???
@@Nostalgia9478What do you mean “should have”? Indiana was the number one scoring offense in the league, you can’t outscore them consistently. This is exactly how you beat them. Hang around and wait for their inexperience to loose them the game. But why understand basketball when it’s easier to just hate.
U Celtics fans dont watch the same games
Gifted?? The Celtic hate is ridiculous 😂
They all jelly
Dallas in 4, this Boston team sucks could barely beat Indiana
another injury win for the Celdicks
@@UserNo1000 lol they swept them. What more do they need to do? 4 30 point blowouts? Celtics win the finals in 5 games.
@@UserNo100012-2 best post season, best regular season, best starting 5. But yeah they suck.
Thank you Jay Williams for speaking on behalf of the Celtics 💚☘️
Bruh, is ESPN having a meltdown because of a Celtics vs Mavs finals? 🤣
New to the nba : why don’t people want that match up?
@@jayjya it's not about the not wanting the matchup, is about ESPN pushing narratives on teams that went home or are about to. And now, they are forced to walk them all back like clowns 🤣
@@jayjya Because ESPN is pro-Lakers and pro-Lebron James. They don't like the Lakers' most storied rival of all time: The Boston Celtics. One reason ESPN doesn't like the Mavericks is because of Slovenian point guard Luka Doncic. The NBA media has not always given white European players a lot of respect and credit.
It's a team from New England and another owned by Mark Cuban in the Finals. Their new poster boy AntMan choked, and the Knicks were ran to the ground. It's a media catastrophe.
That series ain't over yet, wait til the fat lady starts singing.
Lmao ESPN hates the fact it’s looking like they’ll either have to admit to being wrong about the jays getting a ring in Boston together, or , admit to being wrong about kyries value to an NBA team.
Dallas vs Boston is the finals no one wanted but definitely the one we need. This is a turning point in professional basketball and time will prove me right. all these so called analists are just very shortsighted.
P.S: I completely agree with you and its funny af 😂
Facts
They need to stop making excuses for The Pacers especially when they didn’t wanna hear it for the Knicks and bucks. The Celtics are on a different level and the pacers were lucky to even be there
Another casual take pacers were killing it all year. Just say you don’t know ball. Lead the league in points
What a joke Celtics locked down the defense when it mattered.
These same guys before the playoffs started Boston hasn't played any close game they haven't had to be clutch. Same media the pacers game the Celtics these games. 😂😂
^^^ Right. They should look at the team that has blown out teams so much that they never needed to play close games as a good thing.
Wether you like Boston or not, there are no excuses to getting swept. If you can't manage 20 point leads, you simple don't deserve to win. Boston took this series, cause they kept pushing. And i just want to make 2 things clear. Boston had the best record in the league BY FAR. You just had to actually watch the games and look at their roster to see that they would have walked through any team in the east anyways, healthy or not. Secondly, since when are the Mavs heavy favorites over the Celtics? Cause i see people everywhere talking about the Mavs absolutely destroying them in 5/6 games. Luka and Kyrie need to be on their A side every game if they want to overcome the Celtics fire power, especially if Tatum keeps his current form. People who are heavily favouring the Mavs (which shouldn't even happen in the 1st place) are gonna be disappointed. I am saying this as a neutral basketball fan, cause i don't really support any team. I still don't see any team beating Boston in a 7 game series.
Its pkayoff basketball, its not reg season… so disrespectful to the Pacers cause they played like such a good team even w/o haliburton. And the knock on the C’s was they cant close out close games… and now the narrative switches. Its actually absurd the negativity these sports outlets are spreading.
Honestly, I can see Kyrie having one 30+ point game and PJ Washington having one 20+ point game to get them 2 wins in the series. I don't think as a team they have enough scoring versatility to take 3 or 4 games from the Celtics. And that's assuming Luka still scores 30, Jones has his 12, and Gafford has his 10 every game.
The Celtics are averaging 111 ppg in the playoffs and the Mavs have only hit that mark in 6 of their 15 games (3 of which were against the Clippers in the first round).
It’s all about what Vegas says and Vegas says Celtics have the heavy edge.
Boston is pretty much a guarantee to win this finals.
@@VeilInfinity yeah, but apparently most of the people don't see that
"had over a 90% chance to win" maybe that algorithm just needs a little more tolerance built in to these close games
BS stats used to drive people to use ESPN Bet to bet the Pacers in the 4th quarter. Either ESPN analytics are incompetent or intentionally misleading trying to get suckers to place bets.
Exactly. The model is broken if the numbers were that high because as someone who watched every single Celtics game this season every game felt win-able the whole time with the exception of G1. That was the only one where I thought we were gonna lose
“Every model is wrong, some are useful”
It's literally based off of how often those types of comebacks have happened in the past
Or 90% of the time teams actually win so the prediction isn't wrong, 90% based on history of thousands of games.
This is what Celtics were known for.... Blowing leads. Now they're coming back to win games
Weakest conference finals every
It’s almost like we were young and now have the experience
Coming back to win games isnt that impressive when youre doing it vs JV teams that you should be blowing out. lol
Bro everyone blows leads that's why they're professional basketball players and we're not, everyone blows leads especially teams that get talked about the most
Lakers throughout the series were up on the nuggets by 20pts every freaking game and lost those leads, everyone blows leads cuz they expect to win their game by playing 40 mins instead of the whole 48 mins
Greenie "No one's taking that away from them" WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Why is ESPN coping so hard with the Celtics success? Celtics over Mavs in 6.
No Porzingis= No Chip
@@Nostalgia9478 Celtics can definitely win the finals without KP.
Mavs in 6 . Timberwolves thought the same thing
@@peterwoodaman5936 I highly doubt it. Bench looks weak
You need Horford coming off bench
C’s in 6. Book it
I know it probably kills UD to speak about the Celtics lol..I enjoy every minute
Never apologize for how your team wins in the playoffs. It is not the Celtics fault that their opponent has injuries. The Clippers and Heat load managed all season to keep their guys as fresh as possible, and both of the these team’s stars still ended up hurt.
Stupid headline. It's not like Boston didn't made stops and made shots.
Gifted? No. It’s called playing defense.
You obviously didn’t watch any of the games. Pacers choked badddd in 3 of those games. No experienced showed.
Pacers didn't give it away Celtics TOOK away. Big difference
Thank you!!!
Noooo 😂😂😂pacers absolutely choked. Celtics should’ve been down 3-1. Especially game 1 when all we had to do was foul at the end but allowed them to shoot a three
@@cortlandjackson2346 Shouldve, wouldve, couldve. But didn't happen...Pacers were tough but C's starting 5 at the end of the day were too elite and clutch.
This whole panel picked the T Wolves to win the finals a couple weeks ago btw
Well they haven't been eliminated yet so theres that.
@@billsmith3182Minnesota is cooked. Their will and belief is gone.
@@billsmith3182 that’s true but I doubt they’ll be the team to come back from 0-3. Even if they win tonight, they can try and win at home, but even if they push it to 6, the duo of Kyrie and Luka in the clutch is elite.
As a software engineer I'd be embarrassed to have these statistics touted as some sort of true prediction of sports outcomes. How much stats do you need to show that Indiana has NO CLOSERS. They lose games in the 4th quarter against good teams. Honestly hope someone at ESPN used this 90% win probability and lost a lot of money. This the level of embarrassment of statistics.
The 90% statistic isn't for that specific team, but for all teams that have played to to that point in the NBA. It's based on score and time, not taking into account the teams playing.
They don’t like the Celtics and hate Luka lol
That means something goes on behind the scenes.... somethings the public has to know
@@SoundHumility nothing to deep my friend. Boston as a city is too successful in sports and Luka is white and non american. this is their worst nightmare for finals matchup lol
I don't think they don't like the Celtics. They've been supporting the Celtics for years and crown them champions. The hate is usually on the Miami Heat. But the Heat got discombobulated with injuries. So, they could not compete. Well, the media had to find another team to hate on. So, the Celtics were picked by default apparently due to their easy way to the EFC.
The Celtics experience won this series. No question
Pacers are a young team with no playoff experience and it really showed at the end of those games. It's a painful lesson but they will be better because of it in the future.
People discredit the Celtics for a few reasons
1) past playoff failures
2) key injuries versus opponents
Jay Williams didn’t discredit Boston… stated that Boston has indeed been overlooked… I’m overlooking them because it doesn’t matter until they win the title…
And that should be the expectation for a team who’ve made it this far more times than not.. note I want the Celtics to prove me wrong because it would be a great legacy Builder for Tatum, Brown and Tingis
Guys you can say the same thing about the T-Wolves vs Mavs series. T-Wolves have been up in the 4th qtr every game and couldn’t close the deal in the last 5min.
They could say the same thing about the T-Wolves but they're pathetically obsessed with only criticizing and hating on the Celtics. Typical of most ESPN "analysts".
Right. But that's not the conversation, it's about Luka and Kyrie. Maybe because they were the 6th seed? It's very slanted
"They did stick around for game 1...thats all" its like saying that the Pacers made that crazy shot by Brown. CRAZYYYY the way ESPN wants to discredit this Celtics historic run. If it was Lebron they will be screaming at how he is the GOAT.
I don't know why these sports media people wanna discredit the celtics so much. Tf is these are on?
So Indiana 'gifted' the Celtics three games. I assume Minnesota is going to 'gift' the Mavericks for the fourth time in the West as well. So it makes me wonder ... which team is going to feel like they were a little greedy in the conference finals, taking all those gifts and giving nothing in return, and then decides to gift their opponent a few games in the championship.
The Pacers didn't belong there in the first place
🤣🤣🤣 must be a knicks fan lmao
@dipsetkory7964. Please stop with the charade. The Pacers absolutely belonged there. They didn't get to the playoffs or the ECF by accident. They are still young and will be back. They'll eventually learn to close out a playoff game in clutch situation and you'll be crying even harder.
@lognliv exactly lol... pacers are the second youngest team in the league with NO playoffs experience and just went to the ecf!!! They are going to be scary going forward
👀🤔🤔🤔
@@lognliv I think what he's saying is that they were so young, they had no business being an ECF team. They were fortunate to be there. Which might be even more true, considering the Knicks did have some injuries.
Pacers “Gifted” 3 of 4 games to the Celtics. Lmao! Y’all are ridiculous.
“No One is trying to take anything away from Boston”…….I’m sorry, that’s all I’m hearing!!!!!! The disrespect is loud!!
The Pacers offense has been incredible this season, second best offensive rating in league history behind the Celtics. Made the Celtics work hard on defense, plus the Siakam trade boosted the Pacers defense to the middle of the pack in the regular season.
The interesting thing about the Pacers offense is that it is super unpredictable. With how flexible and dynamic it is, almost any team would struggle with them
Should the Celtics have played better against a team without their best player? Absolutely. But the Pacers still have some great players outside of Haliburton. Props to them for being competitive. Boston stepped up in the most critical moments at the end of games to win though. Give them the props that they deserve for that.
Before we go any further I gotta say that Pacers team has my respect. They have an insanely difficult offense to deal with. They’d give anyone problems. Jaylen said it, but they literally turn it into a track meet. Very little time to set your defense. Even on made shots that ball is in the front court in 2 seconds max. The Pacers' ball movement, shooting & the fact that their entire rotation has the ability to hit middies at a 40+% clip is wild. It's no wonder these guys were the top ranked offense even with Haliburton's struggles after he hurt his hamstring.
As a Celtics fan, I agree. The Pacers never quit and played hard.
It’s about how you finish games. Boston locked in and finished games and was the better team overall. No getting around that.
Credit should go to both teams for there runs and congrats to Boston for making it again….hopefully yall win especially without the goat Steph Curry on the other side😂all jokes aside kudos to Boston, its a good time to be a C’s fan
Whether you are a Celtics or a mavs fan regardless of who wins it’s going to be great to see espn have to eat their words
Celtics: Blow out MIA and CLE by 20 points.
Greenberg: "Celtics can't win tight games!"
Celtics: Win 3X tight games.
Greenberg: "Pacers gave away the series!!"
LFG #18!!!!!! 🍀🍀🍀
ESPN can $uck it!
Celtics in 5.
It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. All these fans want their team to compete for a chip they should want their team to stay healthy first.
Indiana did NOT give Boston anything. The turnovers were forced by suffocating Celtics defense. Bottom line is Boston come through in the clutch time big time. And that was what yall were nitpicking all season long, that the Cs haven't proven themselfes in close games. Well here you have it, they can shoot you put of the building and run away in a blowout wins, but they also stay cool calm and collected in big moments.
Why do guys hate on these guys achievements
I'm shocked Carlisle didn't complain about the NBA giving small market teams a fair shot! Good riddance to bad rubbish. Let's go Celtics!
really surprised he didn't send 80 plays every games where he saw some push or shove that wasn't called...coasting on Dirk Nowitzki's and Jason Kidd's coattails to some people calling him a hall of fame coach, please.
Celtics have the best team in history. Stop discrediting them.
😆 🤣 😂
Yeah. No. And I’m a life long Celtics fan.
When the Mavs when 3 close games Kyrie and Luka are the best closers in the game. When Celtics win 3 close games, other team just gave it to them.
This is a joke.
It's almost like late game execution matters
Everybody stop - yall acting like the Celtics didn't make big plays
No pacers didn’t gift away the series Celtics took it and are the superior team
Pacers definitely choked bad. Especially game 1 they had it 2 or 3 times
I knew the series was over after game 1
before it started honestly
Anyone who knows basketball picked the Celtics to win the second the Pacers advanced.
Calling it gifted when it was 3 out of 4 games... 1 game maybe but its 3 out of 4... Thats literally just a better team winning when it matters the most
The ESPN clowns would criticize the C's if they won by 20 and would say they should've won by 30. They're clearly biased, and their opinions should not be taken seriously.
Boston most definitely earned those wins. They didn’t fold under pressure. Good for them. As a non Celtics fan my take is this: you either blow the Celtics out or lose.
The difference in this series was experience. That is it. Boston capitalized on the pacers inability to finish games. The Celtics played great and deserved to win the series. And im a die hard pacers fan.
Thanks to Siakam with his late game blunders 🥴🫢
We lost only 18 games this season by the way. Now they have to make up excuses like this was “given” to us… ESPN is absolutely garbage
ESPN would know a lot better than to use this headline against the Lakers if it were them.
Greeny is such an anti-Celtics guy. Boston took these series away from Andy by clamping down Pacers with Celtics defense. Defense wins championship.
3:37 Haslem just happy to be here 😂🔥
They didn’t give it away. They are a young inexperienced squad who made costly turnovers against the team that has been there many times before and did not falter down the stretch. watch Pacers regular season games this was a common theme for them to not performing clutch time. They are still growing.
Celtics win big - Not being tested, Celtics win the clutch - Opposing team gives game away. Do better ESPN.
It all came down to experience. Boston had the experience to win the game. Pacers didn't have it to close the games. Give the credit to Boston and give credit to the pacers for playing hard with no playoff experience
Bro why is Haslem allowed to talk about the Celtics when he clearly hate them.
9:35 THREE times. How can you forget Al Horford's corner 3 off the brilliant Tatum pass in game 3?
Celtics so strong that they just need to play the last three minutes out 45 just to win.
The Pacers didn't even deserve a playoff spot. Their roster is WEAK. I predicted a sweep from the start
People thinking the Mavs will beat the Celtics are smoking the Mavs lost twice this season to the Pacers Celtics and Cavs
THE CELTICS HELD THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE NBA TO 102 POINTS GIVE THEM THEIR STARS PLEASE
By respect for me game one was everything on the line , and the best team just won for me everything was decided on that game
If ESPN is estimating 90% in 3 games of a series and is wrong on all 3…. That sounds like an ESPN problem, lol. All the players on that court knew it wasn’t 90% (aside from Game 1 - they definitely blew that)
No one ever mentions that this is just how the Pacers play. It's what makes them good and what makes them bad. They play fast and loose and then also sloppy and turnover prone.
and foul prone too. over this series i learned that the Pacers broke the record for most fouls in a season 😅 that’s what wild does!
Boston had no porzongis since last series so please any injury bs isn’t valid take that sweep and keep it push to next year to lose again 🤣🤌🏼
Every video from ESPN just has people discrediting the Celtics. I’ve never seen Windy hating so much the Celtics like this year too
Pacers inexperience besides Haliburton injury shows why they lost the series. Gotta play all 48 mins.
Thanks Jay ! Indy was tough & Boston took those wins
Why do we always use injuries as an excuse? KP has been out since Heat. We've swept every team so far. Whether it be Gentleman's Sweep or a clean sweep. Winning is winning. 😂😂😂
7:50 This was literally Tim Legler’s breakdown last night 😂
Experience definitely showed in this series…
I wish Ud stop acting like a Butler lead Heat team actually won something. Butler lead Heat got how many Chips.
The fact that UDonis Haslem: a Celtics hater , gets a say in this is hilarious.
Bro for reals man why have this hating heat player have commentary about the Celtics, let em talk about how he was carried to 3 championships and just being a body guard for the team 😂
and Hahn and Greeny are knicks fans. So much bias on this panel
If you're 6'2, don't try to dunk on Jaylen Brown.
They had a chance of winning but they didn’t, those are just the facts. These haters love to live in What if Land
17 rings from 23 finals vs 17 rings from I think 37 finals. Celtics vs Lakers.
J Will gets on the screen and draws EXACTLY what Legler said last night right after the game, even the same wordage. 😂😂😂😂 dude is lazy
Nuggets “Played with their food” (The lakers) and let them win the first 45 mins of every game, Win the series “Oh the nuggets are looking like they’ll repeat”- Celtics do the same against Pacers “Celtics should be down 3-1, Celtics should be blowing this team out” Double standards 😫
Thank you JayWill for showing some respect to this team
Never though I'd say this but Lets go Celtics. Lets get that ring finally. This Luka hype has got to stop.
"A Couple More Mango Seasons" - Florida Boy Through and Through!! 😂😂
I dont hate the Celtics, but you cant ignore the fact that the pacers completely fumbled game 1.
Boston going to win it all, idk why the “analysts” who really are actors discrediting them
Please stop, you and all of media is always trashing the Celtics. The knock on the Celtics has always been they could not close out games or they could not win close out games. Now they are doing both. Get used to it. The Celtics big man is coming back and they will be stepping it up even more. The game is 48 minutes and the Celtics are using every second.
Thank you for dispensing with the macho bloviating. This is the best analysis of the taking heads I've seen so far. (most objective + fact based). That said, still waiting for someone to talk about defense. Defense won this game.
Yes, Indiana had the lead with 3:00 remaining in three games. Perhaps we should say that the Celtics gave away the first 45:00 of those games until taking the last three?
UD needs to slow down as well with his analyses. 🧐 #TakeItEasy #ChillOut
I get that the players for Indy were inexperienced, but what was wrong with Carlisle? How does a seasoned, Finals winning coach not call timeout to advance the ball in game one, not call timeout in 3 and tell Nemhard to stop racing up the floor, and go 3 minuteswithout scoring in game 4 and not call atimeout to calm down and set up a play? Carlisle is mostly to blame for this.
They out of things to talk about so they doing they best to discredit Boston with everything they do i hope Boston win it all shut these clowns up
ESPN IS FUNNY. NOTHING IS EASY ON THE NBA. PACERS GOT OUTPLAYED AND OUTCOACH
UD been killing it on all the espn shows
The discourse is comical at this point.
Worst choke job I’ve seen in the finals !?
Stop crying… Celtics 2-0 vs Mavs in regular season. Celtics in 5 in the finals. By the way, make sure the Mavs finish the job.. it would be hilarious if the wolves came back
Mainstream media is so pathetic... Pacers lost the series? Celtics sweep what more do you want? What if the game was 43 minutes long? They pay you guys for this awesome journalism. Haslam as an expert? in what? he is a bonifide Celtics hater.... Laughable
UD up here making fun of the Cs sweeping Indiana and downplaying the Cs meanwhile in 2011 y’all lost a game to the 76ers in the first round and that team was worse than this Inidana team 😂😂😂😂 the hypocrisy is real.
Jay Williams think he’s slick showing us the exact same analysis that Tim Legler already did
We all know it was supposed to be the Knicks who gifted the Pacer the ECF
