    The Celtics threw game 4 so they could win at home and I will not be convinced otherwise.

  2. KrustyKrabPizzaMan

    Billy King’s investment in this Celtics team over a decade ago has finally paid off!

  3. SiphenPrax

    *Finally those poor Bostonian kids who are 5 years old and never saw one of their teams win a championship will now get to experience a parade.*

  4. smoltanboi

    congrats to my boy chris if you see this

    you beautiful lanky fuck

  5. KarchunToo

    The Bucks really gave the Celtics Jrue Holiday

  6. tito-ortiz-wife69

    this kinda effort in a win or go home game is crazy, dudes just walking up the court and getting out rebound should not be happening and kyrie too spooked by the boston crowd

  7. COTEReader

    Lakers won the IST just for the Celtics to win the championship. I’m sick to my stomach

  8. FriedFlesh

    Shoutout Derrick White for putting his body, and teeth, on the line this series. The buffalo is an absolute BALLER and I cannot wait for us to lock this dude up long term. BANNER 18 BOOGIEEEE!!!!!!

  9. Noriskhook3

    After 7 years of being on the brink of a championship, Horford finally gets his ring. Tatum and the Celtics finally do it. Luka and Kyrie didn’t know what to do with this team, they looked lost at times, well deserved championship.

  10. ProfessorBeast55

    Not scoring triple digit points in 2024 is nasty work

  11. turdnagels

    Losing sucks, but losing in the finals is better than most fans can claim. Good season, yall.

  12. BounceMan

    If you know ball you can really pin the Mavs’ series loss on the Celtics winning Games 1, 2, 3, and 5.  If three of those games had gone differently I am confident the Mavericks would have won the series.

  13. LeoFireGod

    Philly could’ve drafted Jaylen Brown. They took Ben Simmons.

    Philly could’ve drafted Tatum. They took Markelle Fultz.

    Philly gave away Jrue Holiday.

    Philly had Al Horford and traded him away. And PAID A FIRST TO DO SO.

    Congratulations to Boston you deserved this title best team all year. But don’t forget who helped get you there the 76ers.

  14. Jrue won the title his first year in Milwaukee and another in his first year in Boston. Portland should have kept him, they could have been champs

  15. Bahamuts_Bike

    So when Lively claimed they had figured the Celtics out, he meant they realized there was no way the Mavs could beat them, right?

  16. MNIceMan44

    DRAKE IS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE BOSTON CELTICS. THATS 18 BABY!!!!!

  17. CrossMapEML

    Tingus Pingus has now graduated to Ringus Pingus

  18. Bladespectre

    Well, it took a while, but Kyrie Irving finally helped bring a banner to Boston

  19. UnPhayzable

    Luka really gotta take conditioning seriously, but fantastic season regardless. Didn’t think we’d make it this far. GG Celtics!

  20. LittleBrockJr

    The Celtics held the Mavericks to under 100 points in all 4 of their wins including 2 games under 90. That’s really impressive to do against Luka and Kyrie.

  21. CorporateElbow

    Just waiting for Tatum to tell kids they can literally fly

  22. severus_snapshot

    NBA champion Tingus Pingus. Was sad when we traded him away. Glad things worked out for him.

  23. lefebrave

    DWhite sacrificed a teeth and Dame sacrificed loyalty for this. We also sacrificed Smart :/

  24. ImWicked39

    I’m happy for the Celtics as a whole but I’m ecstatic KP got a ring. 100% not the way he wanted but I’m glad he has one. Dude has become my favorite player in the league and it’s been a pleasure following his career.

  25. DrSamwpepper

    WHO THE FUCK IS THIS,WHO THE FUCK IS “TINGUS PINGUS!? IVE NEVER HEARD OF FUCKING LATEEVIA,YOU DRAFTED THIS FUCKING KID!? YOU STUPID MOTHAFUCKERS YOU”

    Words that will forever go down in history. We have come in full circle.

  26. Paul Pierce convincing KG to accept a trade so the Celtics could start a rebuild that would directly lead to us getting Brad Stevens, and then drafting Jaylen and Jayson back to back.

  27. thediscoballfromlsd

    They’ve got the Tatum commercial ready

  28. Jayson with the ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE type scream lmao

  29. Damn, Jordan had a whole ass commercial queued up

  30. incredibleamadeuscho

    The Celtics ignored the noise and stuck with the core of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, and won.

  31. “Everyone stay in your seats. We’re now screening The Town”

  32. MistaCapALot

    As a New Yorker (sick to my stomach rn), as much as I am conditioned to despise Boston and its teams, I try to look at things objectively as much as possible. I thought it was funny seeing people on Instagram commenting that the Cs were going to be undeserving of this ring, that they had a cakewalk to the Finals, that they would be the weakest team to win a ring, this that and the third. They did what a team with of that caliber was supposed to do: beat and dominate teams that they were better than. You play who is in front of you, regardless of your opponent’s injuries and situation. They played their game and won

  33. Ozmataz_Buckshank_

    Pour one out for Marcus smart y’all

  34. Can we please let the players lift the trophy first for fucks sake

  35. JoeyJoeJoeShabadooSr

    The owners speaking first after a championship is arguably the worst part of American sports.

  36. BrownHawkDown

    Even if you vehemently dislike Boston sports and the culture around them, this Celtics team is actually super likable. Jaylen Brown is a beast, Tatum (even if people view him as corny) is a diamond, Jrue and Al are great guys and great veterans, D White just hoops and plays lockdown D. Hard to root against KP coming off injury. Coach is like a bit strange but like in a cool eccentric way.

  37. NoDifference8894

    Even though I’m a Mavs fan, my wonderful mom is a Celtics fan and it was such a blessing to get to watch all 5 games with her. Sports are supposed to be fun, and We had a lot of fun. A very cherished experience I’ll never forget.

    Congratulations Celtics fans!
