“The Boston Celtics Are A SUPERTEAM”



“The Boston Celtics Are A SUPERTEAM”

So maybe not the perfect time to do this video because um we just blew a 30-point lead to the Atlanta Hawks last night but maybe it is because yesterday Derek white was announced to be the player of the week for week 22 right averaging 20

Points 6 and a half rebounds eight and a half assists uh with a four and0 record shout out to Anthony Davis as well Monster Monster Week 2717 three and0 two blocks a game Jesus Christ um and I seen a couple of people in the replies talk about man their fourth option just one

Player the week and [ __ ] want to question if this team is a super team or not um so a couple things right number one I don’t know if y’all been paying attention to the Celtics but we’ve been load managing like crazy I don’t know the last time the the Big

Five have played um in in a in a full game Drew holidays have some he he’s had he he’s had like a shoulder injury that’s been nagging him that the Celtics are being really cautious about uh Derek white was out last night so last night

Um this is not no bail but we didn’t have Dereck white a Drew holiday in the Atlanta back court killed us right um Jaylen Brown has been missing a couple games well Jaylen Brown actually has been pretty healthy but Chris porzingis has been the least healthy um Celtic

Throughout the whole season and the Celtics are trying to be really really cautious with him um Jason tatums even missed a couple games um so yeah the the Celtics recently hasn’t they they they haven’t been fully healthy which I do believe is a really big reason as to why

Derek white was even allowed to have the space to put up 20 points nine assists and seven rebounds because he’s been a he’s been a second or third option for a lot of the games the last two weeks um especially this last week but regardless regardless it begs the question are the

Boston Celtics a super team right when their when their fourth option is even capable of winning player of the week you might consider Derek W is as a third option um but for a majority of people the pecking order is Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown kristo ringis and then Derek white

All right and then Drew holiday um when you look at a team that even though people want to overreact to last night’s game has clinched the first seed before everyone else has clinched a playoff seed I believe or or a lot of teams have really clinched a a playoff seed I don’t

Know that feels like a lie I don’t that feels like a lie um uh a team regardless that’s on Pace to win 82 times 792 a team that’s on Pace win 65 games 64 games because of the record it might even be higher maybe 66 right

Um and a team that in the Eastern Conference is 10 and a half games above the second seed and then in the west what was it uh five six games above the number one seed in the west is this team a super team so for me I’mma just I’mma

Just give y’all the straight answer I do not think this is a super team that’s not me trying to you know what I’m saying and not gas up the Celtics to to lessen the blow when the [ __ ] happens but I think there’s a difference between you you could be a really really good

Team but not be a super team before we move forward I just want to shout out the sponsors of this video priz picks my personal favorite way to play daily fantasy sports and the game is extremely simple all you got to do is go on their website or download their app sign up

Match on your first deposit up to $100 links to everything will be in the description and shout out to prpic for sponsoring this video to me and maybe this is just me the first time I really heard of the word super team was the 2008 Boston Celtics when Paul Pierce Ray

Allen Kevin Garnett came together and they were called The Big Three a lot of people from that era even credit that team to to start the whole super team era prior to that it was a bunch of Duos prior to that um there was a big three

In Chicago but we’ll we’ll we’ll tackle that later but for for years it was a bunch of Duos winning um championships really um just just well-built teams that didn’t have three all NBA members in their prime or relatively close to their Prime on one team like these these

These were the teams that were winning championships um and in the case of like 03 Tim Duncan and the boys just won the championship the next team that followed up to me would be the the the the hles the 2011 Miami Heat when LeBron Wade and Bosch

Formed right the next super team after that would be the 2017 Warriors when KD joined when KD joined and then after that there was a big break I can’t lie there was a there there was a really big break well well not a really big break 2019 happened

Everyone 2019 was like the the NBA reset it felt like but after 20 2019 you know we we get into this era of Duos again Kawai and PG go to the Clippers LeBron and AD go to the Lakers Kyrie and KD go to the Nets

Um we go into this era of of Duos that dominate the league for x amount of years you can even look at the Denver Nuggets um and say they’re a du well Le team with Jamal Murray joic I understand Aaron Gordon’s a really big contributor to them but regardless I I still think

That’s a duoed team um I guess the closest thing after that would be when the Nets got James Harden that would be the closest thing to a super team to me ever since the 2017 Warriors because when those three were playing at the same time understand the sample size is small

But I seen with my two eyes what that team was capable of when they were healthy and it was some of the best basketball I’ve ever seen dead ass it it was some of the best basketball I’ve ever seen three bucket Getters that fit so well together um playmaking out

The wazu shot creating out the wazu shooting you know what I’m saying they I even think they’re dep was underrated during that season um because if we look back at the 2021 Brooklyn Nets like they had death bro like Joe Joe Harris Let’s go to the playoffs um

Joe Harris was on that team Jeff uh well Jeff Green only plays six games but je Jeff Green we was solid for the Nets um Bruce Brown I’m pretty sure Blake Griffin even had his moment yeah Blake Griffin was solid bro n 9.6 rebounds um in 27 minutes of play

Shooting 53 39 that this is a solid bench player uh Landrew shamet wasn’t completely washed Nick Claxton uh coming off the bench you know not the click Nick Nick Clon that we know now but this wasn’t just a big three with no depth ass team like this

This team had decent dep bro I can’t lie um unfortunately we know what happened injuries happened with this team but for me and maybe this is this is a vague statement as to what a super team is I do think for one super team is a relative term it’s it’s a relative term

A as the NBA gets more talented over time the standard for what a super team is changes and becomes higher with the higher talent pool right because if if the if the criteria is just I swear to God cuz cuz what made Boston and’ 08 like so crazy to people was

There were three dudes who were capable of putting up 25 a night um on the same team if that’s the standard today then Phoenix would be a super team and I don’t think Phoenix is a super team the Clippers would be a super team and I don’t think the Clippers are a super

Team um you let’s see let’s see there’ be a couple more I feel like that I’m missing but I feel like there’ll be more maybe maybe not 25 but 20 20 three 20 point per game scores it feels like every single team has three people three

Players you could put up 20 a game um so I do think it’s relative um a big three now is not the same as a big three in 2005 you know I think the standard is much higher um so do the Celtics fit that criteria is the big

Question and listen I listen I I I hear what y’all say about the Celtics team and the amount of doubt that y’all have with the Celtics team just tells me no the the amount of doubt the amount of ah the this this team is a fraud in the playoffs tells me no

When y’all tell me that this team isn’t beating Denver and mind you I I can see Denver beating us clearly I think Denver is a really good team that’s on our level when y’all tell me that this team if they face Miami is going to

Lose um and then some of y’all or a lot of y’all even startch it to hey the the Bucks are not that good in the regular season but come playoff time they’re going to beat y’all last two if y’all tell me even the the 10 seed

Warriors if they Pace if they face the Celtics in the finals are going to beat us if y’all tell me you know what I’m saying if the Clippers meet us in the in the finals they’re going to beat us you’re you’re this is a beatable team is

What I’m getting at this is this is a beatable team For Better or For Worse for me for Worse cuz as a Celtics fan I I do want to super team as a fan of the team but this is not a oh [ __ ] how the

[ __ ] do we stop this team ass team it’s felt like that in stretches but I think every single fan knows Celtics fan or not that this team is a beatable team this team is not giving oh [ __ ] how do we stop this team in the grand scheme of things and I

Think again a really vague um definition as to what a super team is but I feel like that’s been a constant when we talk about you know super teams that have formed in the past when when kg Paul and Ray got together oh [ __ ] how the [ __ ] do we beat

This team they proved it and they won a chip right 2011 LeBron way and Bosch how the [ __ ] do we stop this team and the reason why Dirk’s ring is so like that is because of the fact that it was such a crazy achievement to beat that team with that much star power

2017 how the [ __ ] do we stop a 73 and9 team um you know 7 73 and N team that just added a top three player in the world in Kevin or how how do we stop that and they went back toback rings and looked Unstoppable

Right another I I feel like a couple of those Celtics teams in the 60s were definitely super teams I think the showtime Lakers and the the 80s Celtics were a super team um I think the 96 Bulls specifically were a super team now I do understand they became more beatable um

In 97 and ’98 as Scotti Pippen became more injured um you know Dennis Rodman wasn’t the same Dennis Rodman honestly same thing with the Miami Heat right but though that that that to me is what a super team is um contrary to popular belief I do not think the early

2000s Lakers were a super team I do not think any of the San Antonio Spurs teams were a super team I just have a really high regard as to what a super team is um and I think with the Boston Celtics they just they just they just don’t they

Just don’t they’re not a super team to me I don’t I don’t know what to tell you um you can make the case I mean some some people were really scared of this team once they got Chris ringis some people were ahead of the curve in terms

Of what christs ringis would mean to this team and this is one of the most talented teams I’ve I’ve ever seen like I’m not going to take that away from this team um but to me just just saying that the starting five is really well-rounded um and really talented is

Not enough for me to classify this team as a super team I know some people have different qualifications at least all NBA players with a uh with a All-Star third option All-Star caliber third option some people say you need two top five players to qualify as a super team um some

People say I don’t know every everyone has their different criterias but to me it’s just the the constant with the unanimous super teams that we can all agree on our super teams is that oh [ __ ] factor and this team just don’t got it with how much y’all doubt this team this

Can’t be a super team in my eyes in my eyes I and it it super team is one of those words that I feel like has become so overused and has lost his meaning cuz I’ve even heard some [ __ ] try to convince me that the 2021 Milwaukee

Bucks are a super team cuz they got yanis Prime Drew holiday Prime Chris Middleton that’s a big three right there dpoy Brook Lope LZ Bobby poris and and that crew really talented crew but at that point it’s like oh my God where we’re just we’re just calling

Anything a super team with the 2021 bucks or a super team um and you can make an argument to that you don’t I I think that the qualifications of a big three doesn’t necessarily matter for you to be a a super team cuz I think um in this

Discussion there are a couple french teams is that I’m not sure if they are a super team or not I think the Lakers in 2020 have a bigger claim to possibly being a super team than not because I remember when w bomb when the W bomb

Went off that ad was going to the Lakers and in my head and a lot of people’s head yo how the [ __ ] are we going to stop LeBron and AD and then they got a bunch of different pieces to fill out the role uh the role players they ended up being a a

Dominant team in their first year right really good dep and even looking back bro like look at the last I don’t know 10 Championship winners the 2020 Lakers are giv a lot of them a run for their money and I’m talking about some of those Warriors teams too bro I man that

That that 2020 Lakers team is something else I’m I’m telling you right now bro the amount of size uh with the with that dominant Duo that that team had is crazy and I would say the 2020 Clippers are also in that realm as well of oh my God

You know like like for those who don’t remember that 2020 Clippers team even though they failed um kawhai Leonard just came off a championship year Paul George just came off a top three dpoy MVP year uh Lou Will I believe just won six man of the

Year the season prior uh monre was top three in six man of the year um they had guys like Patrick Beverly they had sharp shooters like Landry shamet um let’s see they had a couple other pieces as well in in in zubac um uh Marcus Morris Marcus Morris is

Shooting 48% from three in the in the playoffs so like th this team was solid and this was after 2019 yeah Marcus Marcus morrris was solid for the Celtics um the season prior and then the the Clippers got him like this team was like oh my God two MVP caliber players leading the

Helm with two six Man of the Year candidates and listen I still trusted Doc Rivers to be a good coach back then um I still think he’s a decent coach just not a very he’s a very flaw coach but just a decent coach but this is this is the

The line of like okay is this a super team or not cuz I that old [ __ ] feeling I did feel that when the Lakers got ad that oh [ __ ] feeling I did get that when the Clippers got Paul George um with Kawhi Leonard so there’s a couple failed

Super teams as well I another counter example I guess would be like when when the Thunder got melow like some people want to claim that team as a super team I didn’t get that oh [ __ ] feeling with the got Melo I ain’t going to lie

And I think that is large in part due to the relative discussion I was having earlier because I was like man this [ __ ] ain’t doing th this team is not doing nothing to to the Golden State Warriors with KD um another old [ __ ] feeling was 2012 2013 when the Lakers got Dwight oh

[ __ ] how do you stop that team that team did end up being injury riddled and in my opinion is a failed super team but that was another one of those moments I wasn’t alive during that time but I feel like when the Lakers got Gary pton and car Malone and 04 that specific

Iteration of that Lakers team in my opinion is a super team there’s a couple other situations that we can name um but yeah I I just hold that that super team uh term to a very high regard and I think it should be bro when we’re talking about team like super team

That that that’s a that’s a oneup from a great team inherently every great team is not a super team you know there can only be a handful of super teams but with that being said let me know what y’all think are the Boston Celtics a

Super team or not with that being said I am out man peace

  1. The problem with boston is not how beatable they are, it's the fact that they constantly beat themselves… They're their worst own enemy. They are so consistent in giving away the lead i'ts funny

  2. If Jayson Tatum was actually on the same level as Luka, this team would already be in talks with historic dynasties, but instead everyone’s still questioning if they can beat the Nuggets.

  3. Not a superteam niggas be losing brain cells when it invovles the celtics. It's just a great team. The 2018 rockets and 2017 spurs are in the same vein.

    The 2018 and 17 warriors and 2008 celtics are superteams.

  4. The reason you dont feel that "oh shit" feeling is because tatum isn't like that lmao

  5. My take is if nuggets win over celtics with jokić op games .Jokić would beat superteam..and entered top 10-15..that is what i think of stacked celtics

  6. Not a Boston Celtics fan: But the Boston celtics is not a super team its just a very well built team from top to bottom.
    But I just dont see them winning in the finals. But would love to see (Old man Horford) win a ring tho.

  7. They feel like a super team. We only doubt the Celtics because of them constantly throwing games and not getting it done in crunch time. Blowing a 30 point lead to the Hawks is insane and going down 0-3 to the Heat is even crazier

  8. Idk if I would definitively call them would but having KP as your 3rd option is about as close as u can get to being one

  9. Man if you don't think 4 multi-time all-stars, not including Horford, and a fringe-all star in D White is a superteam you tweaking

  10. I mean it’s not far off, an mvp candidate with 3 other all star players, Derrick white is an all defensive guard and had all star consideration and then though horford is old he’s still one of the best bench players in the league.

  11. trio of all-star fro-be, mvp shaq and 7x championship coach/top mk handler phil jackson really should qualify the '01 lakers as a 'superteam'. especially if you're throwing in frank vogel's 2020 disney team

  12. I think the Celtics are a super team, but the reason a lot of people don’t view it that way is because the free agent acquisitions weren’t all that great (porzingis and holiday are good but nobody would argue they’re the best on the team like lebron to the heat or kd to the warriors) and because we’ve seen them fail multiple times in the playoffs so people downplay JB and JT. You’d be lying if you said that this Celtics team vs the 2017 warriors or the heatles wouldn’t be competitive

  13. Celtics are the first superteam without a HIM…its going to be an interesting expirement ..because a HIM on fire can wreck them.

  14. I agree that the Celtics aren’t a superteam … but they should be … they have 5 all-star caliber players (4 being all defensive caliber, 3 being all nba caliber, & 1 being in mvp talks) but the reason I don’t think there a superteam is because Tatum is a true superstar yet … if you put players like Kawhi, KD, or Lebron on this Celtics team instead of Tatum I think the Celtics would be look at as a superteam

  15. They're just a well constructed roster. Not every good team is a super team. I'd say Suns were more a super team because to me it means top end talent is emphasized over role players. That's not the case with the Celtics. Relative to role, Tatum is the worst on the team. Every other guy is better than the 90% of replacement level guys (e.g. Pritchard is better than basically every 7th man, White better than every 4th man, etc). Tatum is the worst superstar in the league: every other 1A option is a better scorer and more reliable. They aren't that super with their number one option, unlike traditional super teams with LeBron, KD, etc. Not a super team

  16. This ninja really said the suns aren’t a superteam lmao just cause the suns are buns does’t mean they aren’t a superteam they’ve got beal, booker and kd…all three have been the main player for their franchises….if the 2017 warriors sucked they would still be a superteam cause of the star power

  17. I’d argue a super team is a roster that has atleast 3 starters that rank undoubtably as top 10 in their position.

  18. The reason yall believe they not a superteam is bcz tatum ain't a superstar.
    If they had luka , giannis , steph or jokic or lebron mfs would think they championships lock

  19. The Celtics are definitely a superteam,they have 2 all nba players as well as 2 all star caliber player porzingis, jrue the reason I put jrue because he is one year removed from averaging 19ppg and 7 assists and if he had a bigger role he clearly would be damn near an all star. And finally Derrick white is the best non all star player in the league and for that guy to be your fourth option is crazy.

  20. The big three celtics in 2008 were doing less work than the current big three celtics. Yes i think the celtics have a big three right now

    Garnett averaged 18.8 in 2008
    Pierce averaged 19.6 in 2008
    Ray allen averaged 17.4 in 2008.

    Jayson tatum has 27 ppg right now
    Jaylen brown has 23.4 ppg right now
    And mr tingis has 20.3. They combine for 70 points at least. Were on pace to have about the same amount of wins as the big three celtics back then. They had 66 while were on pace for 64 rn.

    The current celtics also have jrue holiday and derrick white which gives us an extra 27 ppg combined
    The starters alone for the celtics rn combine for about 100 ppg
    What more do we need to be considered a super team?

    Yall were considering the suns a super team at the start of the season and their ass

  21. A team with Kristaps Porzingus as the THIRD option is not a superteam?? That is nuts

  22. Them being beatable doesn’t mean they aren’t a super team. There’s a bunch of Super teams that lost. Boston lost to Kobe and Paul (a duo), and the Dallas win like you mentioned so I think that point is kinda weak. I think a better reason for them not being a super team is that Tatum and Brown aren’t good enough to be the top end talent of a super team. Like they are Curry and KD, Bron and Wade, like these are way higher calibers of play.

  23. No . 😂😂😂😂 for reference NONE of these niggas outside of Tatum better than 2016-2019 klay Thompson and that was the warriors 3rd option

  24. Lol we need to come up with common definitions for both “superstar” and “superteam”

  25. This is a superteam. Jrue holiday is their 5 option and he was an all star last year. He willingly chose to take a backseat because of how stacked this team was

  26. I love u solz but the Miami big three was only made to stop the big three in Boston that was created before.

  27. How can you have a superteam with only 1 superstar? Superteams used to mean 2-3 superstars minimum, preferably 2 top-5 guys (ie. Steph + KD, Bron + Wade, Shaq + Kobe, Magic + KAJ)
