Jrue Holiday’s defense won this one. Jrue was everywhere!
✅️ 💯
His offense looks way better now too. I was worried about him for a while. Didn’t seem to flow with the offense at time but he always hit his shots. 65% from corner 3 for most of the season is insane!! It was highest in nba history I think. Top 5 for sure. When he missed a corner 3 you would get surprised like “wow.. must be hurt or something” 🤣
he's definitely a difference maker. Last year they would've lost games like this. He does everything that needs to be done to win games.
Thats why this team is deepif White have a bad game Jrue is there to save the day
Jrue such a tough calm presence, brings out the best in everyone... Holiday White Prichard complement one another very very well
Jaylen Brown has been amazing all playoffs
Haven't seen the people saying "nO LeFT hAnD"
He is very efficient much better than tatum
Yup his better than last year loks like his the mvp in this year Celtics
Jrue and his brother in Nuggets been balling lately!! Love the way he’s attacking and he looks more comfortable. Like he finally understand how the offense and defense runs.
It would be awesome to play each other in the finals, Celtics vs Denver good series.
@@jay-jay8191 I don't know how the Celtics will act against Denver
Let's go Celtics ❤️🏀💯 this is the year 🎉
just 4 fun, who would you like to come out of the West for the Celtics to go 4-1 in the Finals (given that Portzingis is fully healthy)? I dare say 4-0 against Dallas, 4-1 against OKC, a tough 4-2 against either Denver or Minnesota 😅😊
This is one of the best Tatum games, not trying to iso everyone and facilitating, drawing the double team and passing it to right player. JB keep being a consistent star in these playoffs, worth every penny.
Eddie House was right-on about the necessity of the two stars being consistent night-in and night-out. The role players are crucial, and they've been consistent. But the two stars can either dictate a win or contribute most to a loss.
We aint winnin shit without the Jays playing great
great overall win 💪☘️☘️💪
Well put Eddie, media isn’t watching the games! Sidenote I miss Amina, hope she comes back
They judge Celtics by their tnt games. No credit for the games that are only on local channels. They dominated the league this season besides losing to the champs twice
The national sports media sucks, they don't watch all the games. Eddie, Scal and Fors are great, they know the Celtics and how they roll.
Amina is on SportsCenter getting that Disney money. She’s not coming back and good for her 💯
Nine more wins for #18
Jrue with back to back 15/5/5 games with amazing defense🫡
Don’t forget the 3 blocks
Jrue scoring 15points per night will help a lot. His defense is already there. 1 more win to ECF. One game at a time
Love to see them run more plays and not settling for iso most of the time. Let’s go Cs!!
Hard to run plays in playoffs. The defense so physical they muck it up almost every time
It was a Team Effort!! And I want more of it!!
Tatum got pissed off about some no calls, but instead of crying like usual, he locked in and used it. That's the Tatum I've been waiting to see. He might have a little killer in him after all.
He does but it doesn’t come out as much as it should
Hey C’s, please do me a really huge favor. Please send the Cavs home on Wednesday night. We can’t afford to lose!!! #NOCHOKINGPLEASE
frrrrrrrrrr
Not satisfied with their win tonight i was expecting a blow out game without the Cavs star player... a W is a win tho... LET'S GO CELTICS☘️
@@ji-indi8669 you can't expect a blowout every game. That's not going to happen
@@ji-indi8669cavs played great
Without mitchell. Its ovah
Good win .3 quick takeaways:
1. d.white had a usage rate of less than 10%. That is terrible. 2 things are possibly happening here: hes being told not to shoot/go facilitate or he has a minor injury. Joe has to do a better job if re-incorporating d.white back in the offense now that JT and Jrue are unlocked.
2. The starters are playing too many mins. Especially Al..Als shot is flat because hes tired. joe has to trust playing X or play luke more mins. We cant have Al play on this clip.
3. JT player of the game. Didnt overextend himself on offense, played good defense and the rebounding was needed. Still a couple of bad shots but i'm not going to take it against him. That pass to JB for 3 was a great sign of maturity and trusting his team jn the clutch.
Lets close this out in 5. Lets go Cs! Go win this thing.
He banged his knee up game 1 and Jaylen this game
I agree I think White has some minor injuries bothering him. He’s not aggressive like he usually is on both sides.
@@cvgodd1432 then we definitely need to wrap this up in 5 to get him some rest. al needs it too and i bet jrue as well.
If d.white is hobbled, we shouldnt be playing him alot of mins. Give those mins to sam/pp.
d white has been awful and in order for the jays to be successful they need the ball. people say “oh we suck with tatum on the bench” well when jb is out there and jt is on the bench you need to give brown the ball not d white. thats been hurting us. in terms of the starters im sorry to say they need to play these minutes. we need to win these playoff games and respectfully are bench isnt consistent enough to play big minutes. sam has been awful shooting the ball. pp has been inconsistent shooting the ball and kornet respectively is just not good. al is brutal rn but we need him bc kornet cannot rebound nor defend and win a game in these playoffs playing big minutes. i would love to see x but thats the stubbornness of joe mazzulla
@@mikaylarivera1337 we dont need white to be awful for the Js to be successful. We just need people to stop criticizing the Js when they have lower scoring numbers and when d.white scores 25-30. IMO this is the better formula. Look at all the games that d.white has starred: blowouts.
18-11-5 with 3 blocks from JT is an excellent game. Its just not a high scoring game.
And nope. Any given time, i'd trust the ball in white's hands over any other celtic. He will make the right play. Whether its to pass it to JB or score himself. Plus we avoid stupid, slowdown ball.
We need to win these playoff games yes but we have won playoff games with the bench getting decent mins. Look at the miami series or game 1.
Sam hasnt been awful. Hes not getting enough shots. Sams last 5 games from 3:
67% (game 3)
0% (game 2)
0% (game 1)
63% (game 5)
0% (game 4)
all those 0%? 4 misses. Hes not getting enough shots to warm up. Hes shooting 7/11 on those 2 games he made 3s. Overall hes shooting 7/15. Do the math. ;)
I think you just have unrealistic expectations for luke. Like todays game, 9 points, 6 boards and good defense is solid for a low usage/19 min night.
Now, Celtics need to be playing at home with the same INTENSITY every game.
🍀🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚💚☘️☘️☘️☘️
#18
Finish it at game 5!!
I love the Celtics. I've watched nearly every game this year and I really hope they win it all. But their offense is *so* stagnant right now, too many isolation plays, not enough movement off the ball. They're stacked enough and talented enough to win against most teams with this gameplan, but against elite teams like Denver or Minnesota its going to be a slog. If they ever get into a rhythm moving the ball, they would be unstoppable. The offense does flow much better when Porzingis is in the game, and Jrue Holiday is stepping up big time the past couple games, best hes been all year! Hopefully we get KP back for the ECF so we can get momentum going into the Finals.
I’ve been waiting for Jrue to unleash his offensive game! We know he can play defense and he could be a facilitator, but we need his offense. We need everybody’s offense and defense in the playoffs and he is critical to having an offensive game.
❤☘It's a team sport & Celtics are playing as a team with JB&JT are stars😊. 18!
Tatum was showing frustration towards Pritchard in this game on some defensive plays and in the offense too. I was getting frustrated with Kornet with the hooking, flopping, complaining to refs he need to play tough like he did in game 1 cut that extra stuff out.
Man JB been efficient as hell this playoffs! It was the complete opposite last season. He was very inefficient at times!!
That was fun. Let's do it again!
Eddie I’ve watched every Celtics game “ close” for the last 40 years. You don’t need a box score for watching effort and team ball.
Remember they played a shitty team in the playoffs and it was tight.
Tatum just needs to keep that aggressive attitude and if he does and doesn’t fight the refs we will be fine
I’m worried about all the hesitation in these games and hope when they play a real team they show up
the Cavs were desperate, got hot, played for each other, and stayed close pretty much all game. it's great that Boston's lockdown D worked so well when you factor in how much the Cavs needed the win and how much they pressured the Cs. this game was won by stopping runs, and making enough good/great shots down the stretch to keep the game under the Cs control.
the toughest W yet!!
all the other series are tied at 2-2:
- the West looks like both series could go all 7 games. but... the champs' offense has finally awoken, so 4 straight wins seems well within Denver's capabilities, while the Wolves seem equally capable of making a come back
- this side of the bracket, the Knicks are hobbled and still fighting (Tibbs, man, he builds tough teams), while the Pacers finally started running like they did before the All-Star break
- only the Celtics have found an edge after 4 games; let's bring that home and seal the deal in Boston!
Game 5s coming up !!!!!
Jrue Holiday is the man of the game
Need d white defense back
Everyone came to play and do their job. Drew Holiday is playing great at both side of the ball exactly the reason why we got them and he’s not rushing the shots. He’s not over playing defense even when he end up with Mobley👏🏽👏🏽 and big All doing his job also professional and they feeding of each other emotions like they playing like one unit yeah we might not be passing the ball in this game but what I find out is you gotta give the coaching staff credit because they are making !!!! endgame adjustments and that’s what is all about. They see something you attack it. They see something you move it. You see something you go for the board cause they’re not boxing out. They doing it the right way just like hearing that roar oh we can play the way we play a team and that’s what makes them wanna be around each other and they clicking on the road which is great. We need to fix the things at home, but I’m OK with you serious and serious. I don’t want to see the conference one again. One 11 but coaching staff coaching staff they have to go go at the front line they do their job🏆🏆😆 18 around the corner
Celtics vs knicks would be so fun!
Pretty obvious they came into this game like 50% once they realized Mitchell was out
The only numbers/stats that matter are those at the end of the game.
If they had called all of those fouls JT would of had 50 points tonight.
Horford's playing way too many minutes at this point in his career. If Kornet is too slow laterally on defense, Brissett, Queta, and Tillman need to be given spurts for energy and rebounding. Especially Tillman who's proven himself defensively. Steal 8-10 minutes, and Horford can be fresher down the stretch.
Celtics vs Knicks . Garden vs Garden . Boston , New York basketball finals.
Maybe but the knicks are beat up. Not sure if they can survive
😂😂😂😂😂
Most likely ECF, with Boston winning six…
Jaylen Brown ENTER his 1st YEAR PRIMES 💪🔥💪
He wasn’t very good this game. Last game he was amazing. Today belongs to Tatum and Jrue.
@@tatt4music Tatum ? 23 shots ? 2/8 THREES ?
@@nbapbaupdate8338it’s not how much he scored it’s WHEN HE SCORED. They both had timely buckets to put the Cavs away. Especially JB 3 to seal it! Y’all focus too much on missed shots. They both did their jobs and got the W
Someone with basketball knowledge @@cvgodd1432
All that Tatum hate is a fucking joke. Ant has done it for a year and a half, and they act like he is better. Brunson or Sga isn't better either. They win it this year,he is in the top 3 or 4, no doubt. And i like Luka too,but he isn't a better overall player either.
It's the media marrative machine. A few days ago, Jokic was regressing and Ant was Prime Jordan. Now it's 2-2 and nobody gives a damn. They set unrealistic expectations on these players just so they can go on about how much of a disappointment they are.
Tatum doesn’t have that Dog in him . I’m sorry . He’s playing in a weaker conference man. Come to the West. You can’t possibly believe they stand a chance against the Nuggets, Wolves, Mavs or OKC. Jrue holiday and Browns defense is why they’re here . Let’s be realistic. Tatum is a good scorer but he don’t have that killer instinct. I’m sorry he doesn’t have it
Ant is already better than Tatum . Sorry but that’s the truth .
@@richardrojas5796Ant may very well become better than Tatum in the future but Tatum has already made the conference finals 4 times and the NBA finals once. Ant has JUST made it to the second round. That's not the flex that you think it is. I'm sorry you have illusions of grandeur this early.
@@richardrojas5796 Celtics did pretty well against all of the West teams in the regular season.... they got wins against ALL of them except Denver. Just because they're in the East doesn't mean they didn't have to show up against the West.
Anyone know what kind of shirt Eddie House is wearing? I want one lol
Boston in 5
18🍀🫵🏾🫡
Tatum his own worst enemy … Cavs have nobody who can even slow him down besides Mobley weak side help. He takes bad threes for no reason and be driving to get fouled instead of score. He is mvp caliber
C's is winning a Chip.
They need to stop playing around with these guys. Play our game, not their's. GO CELTICS!!!!!
They are, Tatum & Brown are attacking the rim & also getting to the free throw line. Plus Boston looks to have Cleveland doing exactly what they are not, a three point shooting team. They shot what? Over 50% threes this series? Plus no defense from Cleveland either.
This "new" scoring-centric narrative for JT is sad to see from Scal, who usually focused on playmaking and defense as much as scoring. JT needs to be consistent in scoring and earn it, BUT dominance is had ACROSS the stat sheet, especially with defense. When he forces it, it's usually a bad outcome. Team mentality and defense is what got the Cs here. Do the Js need to get into another gear? Sure. But don't throw away the playbook that's been so successful.
JUST CALL THEM THE GREEN HORNET AND KATO WITH THE ROLLING ARSENAL OF THE BLACK BEAUTY!!!
We still played a bad game.
Ya great Tatum had 33 points but he had 16 in the first 7 in the second 23 at halftime then only had 10 in the entire second half I live in Massachusetts and half been watching this kid choke in playoffs for years while Jalen brown has stepped up when jt is sleeping so until jt can be the mvp in playoffs and get them to finals and possibly win because of him I'm still skeptical
I miss Amina
The fact that Mitchell didn't even play and they barely won, tells you all you need to know about this team
Cry elsewhere. Cs in 5.
Bro this happens to every team. Trap games are weird. When the star is out they play with the whole team and move the ball. They got the W, let me guess you wanted a 30’pt blowout in Cleveland?! 😂 casuals smh
@@cvgodd1432 people like him are so stupid, they expect a perfect world.
@@cvgodd1432 🎯
Garland played as good as Mitchell....for Garland to get better, he has to go or Mitchel...
You have to be kidding. Incredibly talented team that plays a terrible offensive system and great defense-when they feel like it which is about 50% of the time.
They barely beat a banged up team missing 2 of their best 3 players.
Their 4th quarter execution was absolutely dreadful- walk it up, stare at each other, do some iso stuff. You guys have to be playin'
Preach bob, these guys are out of their minds. How many turnovers does brown have? How many shots has he missed? 0 offense. Great players on defense. Luke kornet is an abomination. Play Tillman!
Again when you're in the penalty in the game against a team that can't defend well you must continue to go downhill
Horford is shooting the threes horribly and has been getting exposed defensively in this series. Joe needs to cut his minutes and either put Hauser for more scoring punch or Kornet/Tillman !!!
He just looks old, he can't be a starter anymore.
Only starting till KP gets back, but I think less minutes would benefit him
Harder than it should have been
Don't matter idgaf how they did it as long as they won
Missing Porziņģis is a factor. They'll take the series Wednesday. 4-1.
@@Robin-xt7yo They had no Mitchell and Allen they should demolish this team
Hopefully they get it together before they have to play whatever team comes out of the west, because playing like this is not going to get it done. Especially if it ends up being Denver.
I don’t know if it’s psychological, but there’s no chance this Celtics can win the championship playing like this. This is one game the cavs will have won it I would not have been shocked.
I love how when this team gets more talent they decide to play a worse brand of basketball and pretend like they’re all about winning. Jt legitimately sounded bored in his post game interview while he was talking abt how experienced he is in the playoffs. oh really? is that why you take worse shots, complain to the refs, and dont pass the ball. We won this game and it feels like a loss. horrible brandead offense and sloppy mediocre defense when we have the personnel to be amazing at both. I hate joe mazzulla this guy needs to be investigated for robbery the amount of money he makes for the nonexistence of half court sets or ANY defensive philosophy.
Celtics got 14 turnovers. Also, 25 shots should get you at least a 40. Look at Edwards' last game. Can't really be that inconsistent.
Tatum need stop BRICKS THREES DAMN
Celtics are soft team if they actually meet a team with any balls they will lose. Basketball today is a joke . No defense ! All it’s about is three point shot. The 80s teams would destroy the teams nowadays
It’s not the media . The Celtics choke every year. That’s facts . They’ve had a good team every year . But what happens ? They nearly lose every year to a underseed . I used to like Tatum until he called himself the greatest player on earth. That’s when I said oh hell .. not another lebron. Just stay humble and play defense . Let your gameplay speak for itself. Robert Horry has how many rings ? Is he even in the top 100 greatest players of all time ? No . But he’s clutch . Came to a Houston as a rookie and won back to back championships. Tatum is far better than Horry but he was blessed by joining an already good team . I like Boston . I just hate all the hype they get ever year to choke in the playoffs . I don’t blame Tatum totally but if he played some defense and better shot selection he might have had a ring by now .
U sound like an idiot we have a 3-1 lead and are abt to advance to the ECFs again for like the 5th time in the Tatum brown era, and this is the best version yet, but okay let’s not have hope even tho the path is easy😭u clearly are either an absolute fool or don’t watch too much basketball, probably a combo of both
E House pleaseeee stop. That is 1 game he showed up. You make it sound like he score 50 and won the the ship. 1 game buddy settle down. Tatum have to win the ship or bust. After he said you can't expect them to win and score all the time I've lost respect. I never heard Paul Pierce make excuses.
Pretty pathetic win. This team is giving me less and less confidence as the playoffs progress.
