Chuck: Celtics are not mentally tough & won’t win the championship | Inside the NBA

Do you also categorize it to them as like you should be embarrassed by this do you have them sit with that or like how do you approach telling another human they should be embarrassed is very disrespectful there’s accountability but we’re not playing well and to me I’m not

You can’t run from that we should all know that we we we did not play well tonight you know what I mean like that’s a Fact your reaction to What Joe moula just said I did well you know we live in different times but I I disagree with that because when you’re big built for a championship and you’re playing like you want to win the championship everything has to fall in place me and Chuck argued

About this all the time can’t turn that switch on and it’s better to not have the switch down to where you have to come back up always have to switch up every now and in certain circumstan switch can go down you could switch it back up but they’re supposed to blow

This team out you ever had a coach tell you you should be embarrassed oh all the time uh Phil Jackson and Dale Brown and Coach Dave madora all the time and you know back in my era that that that that was used as you know motivation yes it’s

Very disrespectful as a human but you know sometimes you know the truth hurts and you know I’m going just blame it on one of those games but Chuck said it can’t disrespect your opponent the Lakers look really good because you know most of the time with LeBron and AD you

Got two guys handling the ball the highlights you showed everybody was touching the ball when you’re NBA player and you get the opportunity to touch the ball you play at a high level so they came out smoking Boston never reacted so so they just kept playing you let a guy

Like Reeves get into a rhythm he can kill you he goes back to back season highs Celtic should be Celtics should be embarrassed you should never lose to this team without LeBron and AD so maybe it’s something you don’t need to say but that’s something that they feel no no

You need to say it Arnie uh you have to you have to I told you I’m really concerned about the Celtics not just tonight this is three games in a row they were 20 and0 at home they’ve lost three in a row at home no but they’re 22

And two well they lost they’ve lost three games in a row three out of five three out of five to the best team this team was not a good one but the teams that they going to play if they get to the finals in my opinion you you have to

Be ready for those games like Shaq and Kenny know this every game’s not the same you’re like oh the Denver Nuggets are coming to town we need to send them a message Denver came in there and beat him then the Clippers came out and beat

Them the two teams in the west that like we have to play in the finals it tells me that they just playing on Talent they’re not mentally tough enough like no man this is a big game we need to be ready anytime I played against Michael magic

Bird caralon Patrick y it was a different game cuz it’s you call it ego whatever you want to call it but when you on a good team and you’re like okay we might play these guys you got to get read mentally and to me the Celtics a

Winning game on Talent you know what they remind me of my Philadelphia Eagles H like there that’s something just happened in the NBA even though Milwaukee had that second best record they said we’re not going to win the championship we got to make a change the

Celtics to me they got a really good record but they’re not going to win the championship let me let me ask you this and and and I’ll need camera one here because this is on December 4th uh what you said and what and what we wrote down

You were convinced the Celtics will win the Championships you said that in December and I know earlier tonight you said Tatum and brown are great but they’re too nice they were nice guys when you said this but and they’re still nice guys but now why can’t they win

Because if you go if you as to go back and look they showed us stat they’re always behind they’re always behind but you’re saying now they’re not going to win the championship I don’t think they er I don’t like what I’m seeing right I I I still think first of all there’s no

Team in the NBA that’s better at the Celtics but you have to be mentally tough cuz you like you can’t turn it on and off off you you because you develop too many bad habits they’re developing bad habits you have been patiently waiting oh yeah these are Hall of Famers

These are guys who’ve done it at the highest level they’ve LED teams not just been part of teams so I’m listening but there is a part of me that understands there is a level of mental exhaustion just like his mental for fortitude so there is mental exhaustion when you do

Have the best record which they do in the NBA there’s no other team in the NBA has a better record than the Boston Celtics at times there will be a portion of that season where you have a little bit of mental exhaustion now to me and a

Lot of times that happens two weeks before the All-Star Game 100 there you go it happen but how it stops is a game like this it’s the wake up it’s like yo wait wait wait we we’ve hit the low we gotta like we’ve hit it we can’t talk about minimal exhaustion anymore we’ve

Got to turn it on and keep it on now but what about big games Kenny be because big games you think about it the game sometime even though the this is just my opinion even though the Denver Nuggets are the NBA champions the Boston Celtics is a more F story

Franchise so meaning it’s a bigger game sometime for your opponent so they play well they’re coming in going with the same mentality you think Denver going in there saying we got to go beat them go ahead cuz one they are the former chubs and and the joke ain’t no Chum joke is a

Great player so when great players going against a great player like Chuck said so it’s not a shame to lose to them it’s not embarrassing to lose to them no no but you’re not supposed to L if you have that Championship mentality I don’t care who’s coming out you got to beat them

And play well you know they they lost convincingly lost but but you shows us they ready I just feel I I just mean I just feel that at certain points what chose me if if you’re a champion is when you turn the volume off and like no we’re

Going to kill this noise now and this is a noise killing game that’s what that I would say this is the noise now we see where they go from here yeah kudos to the Lakers on this one 114 105 winners over the Boston Celtics as they snap

Their two game losing streak and the Celtics have their two- game winning streak snap uh looking like a Dixie cup like a Dixie cup that’s actually kind of fly to your mama she wants some oh

Inside the NBA crew reacts to the Celtics loss to the Lakers and their recent struggles against some of the top teams in the league.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!

  4. 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

  5. This Lakers game is meaningless. We won't see them till next year. Lol, there are 6 games left before the All-Star Break. Everyone needs to pump the breaks. Look at all the teams from the west that are good. We have won or split with them 1-1 or 1-0. Now that I say all this put it in a 7 game series. The only teams that can challenge the celtics are the Nuggets and maybe the clippers if they stay healthy. The pacers or magic can give us a good 6 or 7 game run. Because they are young and dont know what they dont know. But we will win. Also, last night's game, look at the free throws. We were 5/5 Lakers were 17/22. Alot of missed calls. The refs are bad this year for a lot of games, not just this one, lol. If we would have got a few more calls, we would have been 1 or 2 points above or over. My point is it's all good it's one game lol

  6. 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…

  7. Pelicans game was pretty mentally tough. The mental exhaustion argument I agree with before all star break. Lol 2 pt loss to nuggets with a chance to win at the end..friggen Talking heads

  8. 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.. 👍

  9. 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!😅😅😅

  10. 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.

  11. As soon as these clowns start dribbling between their legs going one on one I know they won't win. That isn't even basketball.

  12. 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

  13. Bruh it’s only one game out of 82 why is everyone making a big deal when this happens to every team? Y’all are really bored 😂😂😂

  14. they wont win because this shit is all SCRIPTED and the Lakers are supposed to win title 18 first in the year 2025

  15. Joe mazzula did nothing to help an already soft Boston squad
    They’re tryna act like a non drama team in contrast to the 76ers but they have the same amount of rings in the past few years
    Also Chuck is an obnoxious loudmouth

  16. 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.

  17. 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
