CELTIC PRIDE……..!
Les go……..
Play D and win the chip
The Celtics have a longs wayyy to go calm down
I’m not surprised. Celtics fans were nearly ready to trade the lot after game 3.
Jus force a game 6
Not unless the C's force a Game 6 should anybody think they could win the series. I'm just saying, don't count out the Heat
JJ is making First Take unwatchable…
This series is going back to miami at least, celtics win a blowout game 5. Heat better keep their heads
Did this man just say beer and wine in the playoffs so y'all about to lose again
Yeah in your face Miami and Stephen a
JJ and Orlovsky. Give me that duo on First Take every day. Passion, entertaining and know their respective sports inside out. 👏
Jay ducks 😂😂
My boy went from MLB Network to ESPN with Stephen A
7:25 mad dog looks at jj like is this Stephen A for real?
Silver told Miami to throw this game so Tatum and Brown could save face.
Come on, Jimmy. Please drop 60 next game
No more Lakers in d playoff just a lot of talk about mutton..Retirement or not
Wednesday is the best First Take day, JJ and Mad Dog putting Stephen A in his place each time.
If any team can come back from 0-3 it's these bipolar Celtics.
Stephen A got a new word from the dictionary. Disgro…what?
That’s a fair point that the Celtics have the talent to extend the series to 7 games still. Do they have it in em’ tho? I personally feel like Jimmy and the Heat want it more 🤷🏾♂️
GSW won the finals on our Home Court Last Year so I have a hard time BELIEVING that WE are going to let ANOTHER team CELEBRATE in OUR HOME COURT AGAIN. Im sorry Jimmy but that's not Happening
7:45 JJ, my favorite instagator lol
Tickle meh Testacles Boston is alive
Let me say this. .Stephen A I guess you are a professional Men we all know this but we are not going to sit over here & ack as if we into JJ Roddick we really not interested in listen to you at all we not really feeling you my Dude you are not respecting who hold your hands to help you along to where you at today…Dude you'll never last long at no point .. We know of people who have waaaaay more talent than you have and still not on ESPN today …Dude hold your Own stop acting as if you already there bcoz you not.. YOU ARE WAAAAY BEFORE YOUR TIME OK SLOW YOUR ROLE
Celtics in 7.
This not the team you want to let out their slump. Heat reached their high point, its only downhill from here
Stephan A. a clown. Glad JJ Redick is on here to call him out on his bs.
Why do they keep bringing that clown on the show
Go have some beers and wine? Why would anyone say that. I mean even if you do that don’t say it! Kids watch this and are impressionable.
The Celtics have been so hot and cold this season. They will come off an embarrassing loss to teams they should have beaten, then get pissed and demolish whoever their next opponent is by double digits. If they make the finals against Denver it will be interesting which version of this Celtics team show up.
I think this series is over. Heat only chance to win this series was g4, I think Celtics will handle the rest of the series easily and win in 7
Interesting situation from here on out; these Celtics (not just Tatum) are at their best when they’re facing elimination and these Heat are way too disciplined and motivated to lose focus and fumble a 3-0 lead. Hoping for an extended series where everyone’s as healthy as possible. Hyped for Game 5 and out West the Nuggets are thrilled this is dragging on. Celtics vs Heat has been a good rivalry the last several years too
Miami looked like Boston yesterday with those careless turnovers and not playing defense on fastbreaks. They'll bounce back tho
Beers and wine 🤣🤣🤣 Jimmy sounds worried
Heat still going to get them still.
People actually like mad dog ?
Celtics in 5
funny how espn excuses lebrons play with a 4 month old injury but brown who got hurt 4 games ago isnt brought up lol
JJ The Stephen A Slayer 🤣🤣🤣😈
0:19 I thought she said "Jayson, papi" haha
Celtics in 7
Jimmy said it's over so it's over 🔥
Neither one of these teams can beat Denver 4 times
This explains why leon edwards has the most aesthetic physique
These guys make a nice tandum. If I was ESPN I'd be headover heels to keep these guys. They're doing an excellent job. Excited for more playoff bball
Our C's actually did a pretty OK job boxing out last night. Much respect, fellas. Can you do it a little better Thursday? I know Smart is doing it as much as he can. But can everyone else step up their boxing out game Thursday? If so, we win. And DON'T LET US WIN [another] ONE!
Honestly I’m shocked toooo
I still don't think they'll win the series. When Jimmy B goes beast, their role players feed off of that energy. The Heat man handled the C's down the stretch the first three games.
Miami is legit, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit, if they ended the series in Boston. Besides, choking 4 games in a row is Lebron and the Lakers thing.
If Celtics win tomorrow I got them in 7
We need more mad dog and less jj
