Who here after Finals
Congratulations to the Celtics on winning the 2024 NBA Title.
You were right
“Telling another human to be embarrassed is very disrespectful.” Well yea no shit it’s supposed to be disrespectful y’all played like trash.
reporter asked a question about how the coach handles it in the locker with the players as a professional and then coach made it personal with the reporter, not surprising since his job seems to be on the hot seat
those guys are stars not superstars the truth come on man.
There soft
@@muddyjoe8811 Yeah, they're soft and i'm from Boston and haven't watched one of their games, just highlights. Porzingis can't defend the rim if his life depended on it...whether it's another center or guard driving the lane. His defense is atrocious and I don't know why anyone can't see that.
The got rid of Smart who had toughness, Williams who could change the complexion of a game from his defense alone, and let Brogdon walk.
They don't understand talent or what is needed to win a championship...and they won't. So it's no sense of me even watching them.
how is It on the hot seat?@@Darrakkii
Letting a below .500 team’s 3rd best player (Austin Reaves) score 30 on your home floor is just atrocious
Boston loses to the shittiest teams. Had lebron and Davis played, Boston would have mopped them
@@lawlor2925 Doesn’t matter. They still lost and it still counts and they still stunk up the place all night.
i mean what do you want them to do? He was just hitting 3 after 3
Fuck LA
lets be real tho. Lakers dont try in regular season. It wont be surprising when they reach WCF title again this season
The Celtics play under the competition instead of attacking the paint without AD they just keeps shooting 3s.
That’s the reason they won’t ever win take way to many 3s and can’t beat opponents any other way
Watch the games they win when the threes aren’t going in they attack the paint
Their main problem
@@youngcity4241😅😅😅😅😊😅😊
You nailed it dude. Too many damn 3's! Take it to the rack!
Joe Mazula tries to act like he’s on some different level of understanding…dude is a clown
He could be saying the most profound statement ever and I still wouldn't be able to take him and his crossed eyes seriously😂
The Cs would be better if they got a real head coach over the summer
those guys are stars not superstars the truth come on man.
He will get exposed once again
He's gonna cost them another ring
Tatum had so many stinkers this year, hes not a top5 player in the league, not even close.
And he disappears in clutch moments
Tatum wasn’t the one sir
What? U talking about the starter for the all star game and averages 30 pts 8rbs 7ast how's ur team doing
@@SincereCardi my team is first in the west. Tatum puts up great numbers but disappears in crunch time.
@@robertharrie4513y’all found 3 games when he disappeared in crunch times and marked his whole career
I am embarrassed as a Celtics fan to hear him say it's disrespectful to say they should be embarrassed. Speaks volumes in the mental toughness of the team. If we don't win the title again this year it'll be another year saying why so talented but no title again ?
He's making them even more soft
We won babyyyyy
“Ask your momma if she want some water.”
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ahahahaha unreal
You can’t lose to a team without their two best players
those guys are stars not superstars the truth come on man.
Team is probably better without those 2🤡
@@davidjames5448they ain’t better than star studded Celtics and yet they still won🤡
The Celtics are always on the he verge of a break through or a total break down. Mental collapses & brilliance are the twin features of the Tatum-Brown era. It pains me to agree with Charles.
How does it feel to be completely wrong and a moron.
As a Celtics fan I disagree with Mazzula. You should be embarrassed and I certainly am as a fan. It’s the 2nd string Lakers. Come on.
Mazzula isnt distinguished enough to probably call them out and retain his job. Its open season on coaches these days
64 -18 and won champions 😂
What seems to hold the celtics back to me is the inconsistency of their star players. 95% of the time the teams that win championships have their best player play well every single game. But Tatum and Brown can get so hot and cold, I never really know what to expect when the playoffs come around
Yeah. Tatum, for being in the MVP discussion, too often shits the bed. You don't see a player like Luka or Jokić do that. Their bad games are extremely rare and they find other ways to be effective on the court if they're shooting poorly or something like that. Tatum isn't built that way.
@@cryptidian3530 Thats cause the ball is not in their hands like those guys. Ball is always in Luka's hands along with Jokic. JT has evolved to be a player who can create his own shot, improved passing out of double teams, or be the screener. He has 4 other players who can drop 30 any given time.
@@ipityplaystationpeasants2305 Which makes him less valuable to the success of the team than Luka to his.
@cryptidian3530 U clearly don't know ball. JT consistently is top 3 in the league last 3 years in PER for the celtics. Not only is he great offensive player but defensive player too. Luka is a glorified stat padder where the offense stops once he gets the ball. The man had multiple 40 point games, a 73 point game, and 60 point triple double last year. Luka has NO trust in his teammates the same team that got him to a WCF. JT had trust in kemba, marcus, and now derrick white to run the offense while he plays off them. You clearly don't watch celtics games to come to your conclusion but maybe their playoff games.
@@ipityplaystationpeasants2305 Tatum has always been surrounded with a great team. It's easy being an efficient player when you have that much help. Tatum never struggled as a player when it came to team strength.
Sucks, but I sadly agree they might get close, but wont win. Im a lifelong Celtics fan and watched the 80s Championships w/ my mom for those 3 champs, plus the 2000s win. I HOPE they win, but sadly when we get close, more often than not, we fall short, please let me be wrong!!
The Celtics still can beat the Heat but they won't win the NBA Finals.
@@essentialeugene hey guys
@@essentialeugene so...
the celtics should be able to not have to go 100% in a game like this and should still be able to win pretty convincingly. they got problems in their roster for sure
It ain’t roster a problem , it’s coaching their head coach wants to shoot 3s all game instead of attacking the paint and mixing in mid range shots everyone once in a while
bro there 37-12 and 4.5 clear in the East. calm your tits.
You guys are both wrong. The roster is amazing, the coaching is solid, the PROBLEM is the lack of mental toughness, and no true leader. The problem with JT and JB is compared to other greats in the league like Jokic and Giannis they can do it any given night, but Tatum and Brown are super inconsistent, and they lack leadership.
mental toughness lmao. they're pro athletes, they all want to win. they shouldn't even have to put in 90% to win this game.@@Jackson54321
Nah...sorry but they may just be elite SOFT.
It’s the Celtics that’s stopping them. If they had ime it would be way different. Mazzula just wants to shoot a million 3s
Ime wasn’t a good offensive coach
@@hokagegod8790 but he was a great defensive coach and got the players to play with high effort every play on defense. Defense wins championships
@@hokagegod8790 he got them to the finals in his first year
Cs don’t need more offense, they need more defense.
This and last years Cs are nothing compare to that of 2021-2022
News flash. Celtics shot more 3s under ime. Also even with ime, we had two 7 game series on the way to the finals lol
Chcuks right. Warriors own the celtics and Steph dominated that duo who are 10 years younger and btw the celtics were the best team that year
It’s games like this and their mentality that causes them to play consecutive 7 game series and get fatigued over the playoffs. I’m still not convinced that they will win a chip this year.
i’m sure they don’t give a fuck if you believe in them one way or the other
Lmao boston don't care to play shit games, no lebron or ad and they didn't care.
Bostons definitely winning
i'm a C's fan and have watched every minute and i completely agree. Tatum especially has been lazy. He only takes over games against bottom of the barrel teams to keep his stats up. He gets locked up and disappears in every single loss they've had. I don't know how Brown and Tatum after all this time can still be erased from games by the opposing coach's defensive schemes. Tatum is not good enough of a 3 point shooter to punish teams and he takes so many of them because he's lazy and takes plays off. He is 25 and plays less engaged offense than 39 year old LeBron. Why
We need to go for vets like PJ Tucker at the trade deadline. A guy who can bring physical and mental toughness to a young team that needs it. Someone who's won at the highest level but also has some grit to them
He got offended by the fact that he can’t make his team evolve and adjust in the right situation
Did you not listen to what he said?
@@herbderb4929lol Celtics got the most wins in the nba . Lol it’s not even close
@@beankobe8205Just ignore the years of collapses and failures. I'm genuinely surprised Mazzula is still around, thought he would be adrian griffined by now
@@SmokeDog1871 he is not black
@@SmokeDog1871 years? He's had 1 year where they were 1 game away from the finals. Ya'll just be saying anything huh
If chuck had stuck to his original take he'd look great now his flip flopping comes back to bite him as Celtics win the ship
This is 1 of the only teams that people consider 'elite' that can't consistently put teams away that they are supposed to... JB & JT shouldn't even be playing in the 4th qtrs of these sub .500 teams cuz the game should b over in the 3rd
Holy shit, these guys expect boston to win every single game.
Love Chuck met him when was younger at the Spectrum for A Flyers game
Everybody scared to say that LeBron sitting helped the Lakers win
LeMedia will never say it nor will LeMilkTeam
Sure it totally wasn’t because we played way harder than those Leprechauns🙄 but I’d love to hear your take
That’s because only a small percentage of people actually share your idiotic opinion 😂
I agree, his media pawns always blames other players. He already has AD and pretty good supporting cast.
Look at Damian Lillard, he made it to WCF with CJ Mccollum and role players, who are worse than current Lakers role players.
@@AM-dl7ot common now, LeBron dragged a Cavs team far worst than that Blazers team to the Finals in 2007 and 2018... Stop the BS
Look they are tougher than previous iterations of this Cs team. But they just don't care for certain games. And that's a problem for this core and always has been. But at the end of the day, they aren't playing for the regular season. They are playing for the playoffs where they HAVE to take every game seriously.
This celtic team is unserious
This is why I don’t think mazulla was right for the job, he spends too much time trying to speak negatively to the media and trying to hold them accountable for their negativity but doesn’t do that to his own players
Shaq and Chuck said exactly what I've been telling my son for several weeks now, about how Boston 'has been disrespecting' these so-called, 'lesser' teams,' by not taking them seriously, and/or 'taking their foot off the gas,' which is an utterly ridiculous attitude to have as a professional athlete.
Especially since we as fans know that EVERY NBA team is a collection of many of the best athletes on the planet, who deserve to be treated accordingly any, and every night, against any, and every team they play.
This Tatum-era-only phenomenon of 'playing down to the competition,' is getting ugly, and to me, as a 44-year-long fan of the C's, reflects badly on the entire organization as a whole. This might require a major attitude adjustment - fast.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's doable this year...damn...and they 'looked' so 'good' just a month ago.
Come on Joe...prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol its very funny to see this pop up in my recommendations 2 days after they won the title
I've been saying that for the last 4 years. They are not built to win a championship. They are a great team and fun to watch.
What do you think now 😂
This coach ain't the one.
"I may not dress like Satan anymore, but I’m still down with the Devil and I will go medieval on your ass."
-Joe Mazulla [the Undertaker]
even with winning record every next games, their fans cant help but anxious if something like this will happen again esp at playoff, but tbh looking at their elite playoff record each season, its justified
The elite playoff record with 0 championships? Maybe it’s not so elite in the grand scheme of things don’t you think?
@@BasketballHistorian in grand scheme of things it’s impressive with the young players they have and how much success they have had in a young age
Thanks chuck now were gonna win the chip
Nope
Not a fucking chance

@@mangesh9034305 they still ass
This segment seemed a bit weird, I like what Kenny said overall but everything else was meh..
Jayson Tatum constantly tries to draw comparisons to him and Kobe as well. Like come on man you are not built for this like Kobe
He's mentally so fragile. If he misses a few shots he spirals into self doubt and visually shows his frustration. Nothing like Kobe. And I'm a C's fan. Just can't stand Tatum or Brown. The team won't win a chip until they replace them. So un-clutch.
Kenny always clutch with the excuses 😂
He predicted the Celtics would win the championship back in December, then he gives up on them after a few losses even though they were still leading the league at this time.
But then look what happened. Banner 18! ☘
1 month later are the celtics still not mentally tough to win the chip?? The mentality has been there since the start of the season.
The Celtics just don't have what it takes..
Their not tough enough. We have no dawgs, not even one. So sick of these soft players.
Another talking head saying the Celts blew it instead of taking a second to say how well this Laker team played while under the pressure of being traded daily.
It’s so weird they never celebrate us when we win but always have something to say when we lose
How you losing to the 500. Team lakers without AD and lebron 😂
When your starting 5 is stacked with all star caliber players you're expected to win
They've been the favorite most of the year. How are they not being celebrated?
It’s just nothing we do in the regular season matters anymore
Celebrate what exactly?
Celtics fans were like" that Reeves kid is nice.. reminds me of someone?"
Who definitely not Larry Bird and it’ll never be another
@@1700VaKD betta
I hate to say it cuz I'm a DIE HARD, PROUD, LOYAL CELTICS FAN 4LIFE we may be on 1st place but in reality, we're not mentally tough enough to win the championship
They are now the champs!
Confidence with no results whatsoever. Doc sugarcoats everything WAY too much, and doesn't hold his players accountable 🤦🏻♂️💀💀
Idk if I like Joe as a person, idk him personally but he seems to carry a certain level of arrogance that he hasn’t earned yet… how is it disrespectful to ask if you’re embarrassed to lose to a Laker team that doesn’t have AD or Bron and never got up on the scoreboard one time…
It’s disrespectful to underestimate ur opponent AR was obviously hot tn they needed to adjust to him but they ego wouldn’t let them
Joe Muzzula ain’t a championship coach. He’s over his head!!!
Chuck has nothing to say about Celtics especially when he doesn't know how to win a championship
Mazzula Just got lucky with all these amazing players but he a horrible coach
Even as a life long Celtics fan, I completely agree and have been saying this since their first playoff run when they got Tatum. Brown and Tatum just aren't it, I'm sorry. Giving them all that money and letting the heart of the team (Marcus Smart) go was the nail in the coffin. Idc how many regular season wins they get, it will be another blown playoff run when it comes crunch time. Because those two aren't leaders and don't feed off each other enough to carry this team to a chip. Get a new face of the team (preferably a vet) and a new head coach. Maybe then we'd have a shot at cosing out on top but until then, it's going to be good regular seasons and then playoff run busts.
This win mattered more to the Lakers than the Celtics. The Celtics underestimated them plain and simple. The Lakers on the other hand were probably fueled with the rivalry and knowledge that they'd be going into this battle without LeBron and AD. It mattered more for them to win and in my mind, we should give more credit to the Lakers than blame to the Celtics
What does chuck know about winning a chip? Keep the same energy when we win that chip yall
If y’all playing like that y’all be lucky to make it out the first round.
@@BasketballHistorianwho’s your team ? We make deep runs every year
@@hokagegod8790 I don’t have a team and even if I did that information would be irrelevant to this topic. It’s either chip or bust for the Celtics so that “deep run” shit doesn’t matter if they don’t win. How many “deep runs” can a team make and not win until something drastic changes? Y’all been making “deep runs” for 4-5 years now with nothing to show for it.
@@BasketballHistorian it is relevant because you’re speaking of a place of ignorance and most stars don’t win by 27 so all the experience and loss will us once Tatum is in his prime
@@hokagegod8790 Ok Brodie that’s cool and all but the talent that the Celtics have is more than other championship teams yet they lose the same way every year so non of their problems get fixed. Y’all coach is not “championship good”, the style of basketball doesn’t generate good open looks, they let Austin Reaves get 30 and got blown out by 25+ when playing against contenders recently so the defense isn’t good enough either
And the worse thing is that Jaylen Brown gets paid $304 Million and can only give you 8 points against a below average team without their 2 best players.
So Tatum could be in his prime right now and it wouldn’t change anything cause the Boston Celtics team, their offensive and defensive game-plan doesn’t work in the playoffs (cause they don’t win a chip. It didn’t work)
But I’m ignorant for saying getting waxed on your home floor by the 23-24 Lakers (who are missing their 2 best players) while your team is fully healthy is fucking embarrassing. Then so be it.
The Celtics did not convincingly lose to Denver? It literally came down to the final shot. I get it they still lost, but there’s a big difference between getting beat handily and losing at the last min. This team is always good for at least one rough patch every year and right now they are in one. January up through the all star break is always considered the doldrums of the season.
The only mentally tough teams in the East are the Bucks and the Heat. The West has way more teams that are well constructed and are composed under pressure: Denver, Minnesota, Clippers, Dallas, and OKC.
Celtics are shit. Chucks right. They are the definition of a modern Era team. They aren't going anywhere. Second round exit at most. The only way they have any shot of making it through the second round is if other teams are littered with injuries. I miss the 90s nba. All these 3s and 140 point games are trash to watch. Chuck is 100% right. Good teams are ready for big games
Kenny is correct. Teams go low, but it's how you finish the seasons heading into the playoffs.
Let me see if I got this right. Charles Barkley knows what it takes to win an NBA title?
This feels great
For me i can accept the loss to Denver and Clippers. But win lakers were without thier 2 stars and we never get the lead. With all 5 of our stars
I wouldn't bet on them winning number #18. No effort blew my mind
I think there is a big difference what coach will say to media and what he actually says to the team behind closed doors. I think he shouldn’t wash his dirty laundry at press conference. NBA has 82 game season so there’s definitely going to come the time not everything will go perfect. Shouldn’t make a fire and pee in pants after few bad games. Playoffs is when everything matters. Just a one man opinion.
This Coach cannot make any more excuses. This team will not win any rings until him and Stevens are gone and the team transitions towards a paint-oriented offense like the Pacers.
💀
What exactly does Charles Barkley know about what it takes to win the championship?
All good when thunder lose to Hawks and Nets, and Bucks lose to Portland though, don’t hear nothing there out of that. Bunch of clowns always talking the best team down every loss they have
They don’t have that “it” factor.
Tatum is not mentally Tough. He is suppose to be the leader of this team but, he can’t lead men. And you can’t if you’re not built to LEAD which, Tatum is not. Tatum has never took personal responsibility for a loss. He always says we didn’t play well when the truth is he didn’t play well. Tatum will never have that mentality Toughness it takes to win a championship. If they do it’ll be because of the other players on this team. It won’t be because of Tatum who is suppose to be the best player on this team.
He's a champion now
Chuck sometimes says things that dont make sense. How can the Celtics not be your pick if you think they are the best team? The team you believe will win the championship is the best team.
Im a Boston fanatic but this team has no Championship DNA.. weak,no focus, no mental toughness,they dont care about history.. the Celtics / Lakers rivalry..fans are dying watching it. an epic battle..a legacy for the team..you let us down.. sickening..
J.Brown should show his worth..multi million dollar man..Highest paid player in NBA..Tatum needs support..sorry but that's reality ..we paid to watch the game..this is not fair at all.. Embarrassing..
Frustrating.. Indiana , New York, OKC, Denver, Clippers.. Cleveland are the teams to watch.. 👍
He’s not wrong
If these stacked Celtics don't win a Championship this season, everyone who thought it was ok to have an inexperienced Cottonelle Mazzulla keep coaching them has to go. Including GM Brad Stevens and owner Wyc. Just an unforgivable team ruining decision.
Words hurt 😂 coddling grown men, Joe stop it...
Every team has these losses. Move on.
this is actually the problem with the entire top of the east... celtics, bucks and sixers are loaded with talent and all have top 10 players in the league but will lose to the mentally tougher (as they did last year to miami) teams like knicks or heat (or perhaps even cavs) as long as the refs don't bail them out (which is highly probably unfortunately)...
they are all mentally weak failures... i think i would take nuggets and clippers over any of them
Kenny got all the excuses.

I still think the Celtics come out of the East, but lose in the Finals to either the Nuggets or the Clippers.
They failed to realize we got the most home wins and most wins in the NBA they lose a game cus they was fatigued they not ready but did we already beat them already with they star players but when we win I don't hear nothing
Let these guys develop chemistry with AD and they’d win a bunch of games.
💯 These Celtics with Cottonelle Tatum have no chance with Cottonelle Mazzulla. This is why they had the most success with coach Udoka who isn't scared to call the players out and holds them accountable. Mazzulla just says this happens in the NBA, no big deal 🤦♂️ Brad Stevens and Wyc made the dumbest decision keeping this dude as the head coach.
Giannis with his bad free throws is even more mentally tough than the Celtics players combined. Just sad.
Too much is being made over these three C's home losses in recent weeks. The defending champs in Denver came to town and won a hard fought 2pt victory. That is not a bad loss in any sense.
Then the Clippers,who've been the hottest team over the past month plus,came in and smacked the Celtics just the same as Boston had previously smacked the Clippers in LA. Mirror image games with both road teams winning big. LA's defense was stifling and that game alone shows just how good the Clippers really are when fully healthy,one of a handful of teams that has a legit shot at winning a Finals.
This loss to the Lakers was a complete letdown by a C's team that,if we're being honest here,likely heard that AD & LBJ were no go's for this game and just assumed a win was all but a formality. Instead LA came out and took control from the first tip until final buzzer. They outplayed Boston on both ends and Austin Reaves showed everyone why his name keeps getting asked for in every Lakers trade proposal,he's a real keeper.
As a C's fan the only game that worried me was this loss to the LAL because it was clearly one where Boston should have won. This team,like many other contenders, is going to have outcomes like that Laker game every so often, it happens. Choose any other Finals Contender in recent years and check their previous games played and you'll find plenty of games that the Contender lost to much lesser talented teams. Again,it happens.
Joe Mazzula you should be embarrased for losing to Austin Reaves at home without Lebron or AD. Sorry guess I just disrespected you
Barkley says the Lakers are not!!! A good one! He can't stand the Lakers!!! Ever since the Lakers did not want Barkley at all on their team!😅😅😅
Lmaoooo the comments here are so hilarious. If a team is nit picked so bad they must be damn good…. BANNER18
Ok Chuck is voicing every Celtics fan's worst fear. I just wanna know what's up with Jaylen Brown. We all know Tatum goes cold sometimes but damn kid you can't score on the Lakers 2nd unit? Time to man up Jaylen! Stop dribbling the ball off your foot and show us what you got.
LOL Barkley Stay put what you've said!!!!!
Celtics are going to finals.... That's a fact
Well. Chuck was wrong
The championship is simply staying in the west for the next 3years 😂 the heavy talents with playoffs experience are there and they play great team basketball
What chuck didn't like a celtic.... wow
Tatum don’t got a clutch bone in his body but think he Kobe or sum Thts y they not gon win😂😂
joe mazulla isn't a real coach and erik spolstra (again) and even doc rivers will coach him in circles
Well mazzula you should be embarrassed how you been coaching, udoka got a lesser team to the finals. This current team has twice the fire power and they consistently play down to the competition. On the other hand it's obvious lebron and AD are holding this Lakers team back haha . Honestly the day after lebron criptic tweets and post game comments "people do their job" or whatever he said and then is a healthy scratch for Lakers vs Celtics? What bigger draw does NBA have then Celtics vs Lakers and yet this time every year it's the same conversation "lebron needs help, what trades can they make to get lebron help, blah blah blah" this team was in the western conference last year right? They did win the in season tournament right? I swear lebron and KD should just go play for the Globetrotters and beat the Washington generals twice a week.
Basketball is meaningless until the playoffs anyway, every team just jacks up threes.
Well Boston is dissjointed, thought they,d try harder, somethings wrong in the locker room, all 5 are not clicking.
The Celtics are as soft as that Anthony dude that goes around and complains and wins 3 pt shooting contests.
lmao, they lost their 4th game in 6 nights, shut the whole season down. PS last Thursday Chuck said they'd win it all.
