The Vengeance of The Boston Celtics



The Vengeance of The Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics are NBA champions once again MVP of the 2008 NBA [Music] Finals a team as talented as this one should be expected to win multiple championships a roster featuring Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce Ray Allen Rajan Rondo and a group of talented role players had high expectations to win even after a title the 2009 season started with a bang as the Celtics started off 27-2 unfortunately Garnett would get injured and Miss over 25% of the season but the Celtics still ended as the two se but their opponents the Chicago Bulls didn’t give a damn and they gave them everything they had but when we walked in here a couple of hours ago it was freezing joke came out r on Rondo Allen over Noah it again Ray Allen Tim Thomas the L close Pierce fake on Salman that is a three all for three it’s good he ties the game with 9.8 remaining HR inside to Noah gorgeous Fe here’s Pierce Rose defending for the top it’s Pierce is this the dagger F Allen screen by Pierce over HR three for the tie oh he hit it over Rose rejected by Rose Rondo shot was rejected by Rose fouled by scy berie Rose rejects the Rondo shot game seven three house Ray Allen chased by Miller oh Allen bobbled it and still got it to go yes the Celtics did win the series but barely unfortunately for Boston in round two they wouldn’t have the same luck in the here’s turo for three turo picked up on a switch by Rondo here is Al from deep it down in defense of Boston they didn’t have kg for the entirety of the playoffs after all it’s hard for most teams to repeat in 2010 the Celtics once again had a great start in the regular season with a 23 and5 record but again they would fall in the Lost column only winning 50 games which was good enough for the 4C for most contenders this doesn’t seem that bad but Boston was better than this and in the playoffs they would show just [Music] that Paul Pierce wins it with a stone cold jumper 198 the final Boston go [Music] [Music] the Boston sub with the huge upset they advance to the Conference [Music] Finals 31 points 1 fast for him the [Music] [Music] the Lakers have one backto back NBA championships and their 16th overall this was in every sense of the way a devastating loss Boston had beaten this team before hell they were even up 3-2 although starting center Kendrick Perkins would get injured in game six and definitely depleted Boston the Lakers won and Boston would get back in the lab 2011 showed some improvement in the win column winning 56 games and even added a future Hall of Famer to the team yes I’m sure you’ve seen this photo a dozen times despite what people want you to think Celtic Shaq wasn’t actually that bad while statistically he couldn’t even score 10 points per game and didn’t get that much action the Celtics were 19 and3 when Shaq played 20 or more minutes in a game now the reason Shaq was even brought in was to replace Kendrick Perkins who would miss a lot of time due to the injury he had in the finals Boston would end the season with a 56 and 26 record and would sweep New York in the first round Miami however would not be so simple while Boston had a big three the heat had a big three of their own LeBron Wade and Bosch would form the scary M Heat Big Three that some thought could rival Boston almost four minutes of steal and the result with LeBron James by himself in this first half LeBron against tions may have been too great for him after game three here with a nice [Music] tip and left necessarily a steal Boston was running out of Chances with this team in the 2012 season could be one of their final chances because next offseason a lot of their players won’t be under contract and will be looking for New Deals the 2012 season was the lockout year so there would be less games and the season didn’t even start till Christmas the Celtics would be 15 and 17 at the All-Star break which is probably due to the fact that Paul Pierce was dealing with an injury however to end the season they got hot they went 24 and 10 to end the year and finished with a 39- 27 record if the season wasn’t shortened then it basically would have been a 49 to 5 win season had they kept the same Pace in round one they would handle the Hawks in six games Boston would go to seven versus Philly in a tough battle where they came out on top then there was Miami Miami would take the first two games but Boston wasn’t given up that easy the Celtics were went too straight to tie the series and Paul Pierce wanted to add to that lead Pierce for three it’s good Paul Pierce from way downtown and Boston leads by four it was 3-2 Boston just needing one more win to make the finals after this game the talks about LeBron got toxic members of the media said LeBron couldn’t win even with the super team this would unlock something in Lebron we had never seen up to this point a pissed off and motivated braon who on this fateful night was it human James blows past Pearson throws it down in the guard LeBron James James with the jump the play James for three puts it in LeBron James from down down he’s got 12 already and the Heat have scored 10 in a row low against Ray Allen turns little jump hook won’t go James comes flying in and throws it down and has stopped every Boston run James turnaround jumper drills it 41 points and the lead back to 13 there will be a game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals oh and game seven wasn’t any better special night nice pass inside third steel Rondo side step blocked by James Here Comes James lobs to away back to James what a play from W to James commers telling James to go he does lays it in with a left hand sitting James drives on him hop step keeps his T fo all High boards James on the drive to the rim fou counter and James fires a three bang LeBron James and the heat dreams of a championship still very much alive as they overcome a 3 Boston once again couldn’t get it done they had again failed and now they had a problem one of the key members was done with this team Ray Allen would sign to Miami on a very cheap deal and to most people it seemed like betrayal to this day some members of this Boston team have not forgiven Ray Allen this was only the beginning as the Celtics only won 41 W games that got bounced in the first round this was officially the end Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce Jason Terry all going to the Brooklyn Nets Celtics get three number ones 2014 2016 2018 humph Wallace Evans uh just a bunch of stuff clearly clearly the Celtics are tanking at this point there wasn’t much to look forward to if you were the Boston Celtics all you had left was Rajan Rondo a below average roster and a ton of first round picks from Trading their team surely those picks wouldn’t come in handy in the future 24 14 saw the Celtics won 25 games and will be awarded the number six pick in the upcoming draft the Boston Celtics select Marcus Smart from Oklahoma State University in the same offseason Rajan Rondo would be traded to Dallas this team wasn’t that good and they were the 10 seed with about 30 games left in the year but then Boston made a trade that would change everything at the time no one cared about this trade but Isaiah Thomas sheres held did and he single-handedly led Boston to the playoffs granted they did get swept by Cleveland but maybe there was hope for the future in the offseason they would draft Terry Rosier at number 16 improvements were made as Boston went 48 and 34 and were the five seed in the playoffs again they did nothing losing in six to the Hawks was Boston going to be mediocre really they had nothing to look forward to the third pick in this year’s draft goes to the Boston Celtics you might be asking how the hell did Boston get here he won 48 games and made the playoffs surely this can’t be right well remember that one trade back in 2013 yeah it was now 3 years later and now it was time to reap the benefits the Brooklyn Nets were an absolute atrocity and their super team they formed was a joke because of this Boston would have their choice of a top prospect in this upcoming draft with the third pick in the 2016 NBA draft the Boston Celtics select Jaylen Brown from the University of California Berk rookie Jaylen Brown would make an immediate impact along with Al horard who Boston would sign during the offseason the Celtics once together would improve winning 53 games and in the end would be the one seed in the first round they would play Chicago who seemed like it would be an easy matchup but tragedy would strike right before game one moment from earlier today on the floor at the Garden in Boston Isaiah Thomas consoled by his close friend Avery Bradley Thomas’s 22-year-old sister China lost her life when her car veered off a road in Washington state at 5 a.m. and slammed into a metal [Music] pole and Bradley had Lopez closing out on him gives it right back oh and Thomas to C friend hurn to call a timeout and Thomas it’ss another long range missile on just hesitation move from going to the rim and he’s finishing the St is back on top to fourth gear and he’s down and goes they wind it up and do it again on Tuesday as Thomas hits the1 goes by him and Thomas scores they would lose that game and the game after but Boston would go into overdrive after this loss great ball movement to Green the corner three is straight Crowder with an easy flush at the other end oh Thomas saw the opening on the drive yes for count Celtics All Season Thomas gets inside a little verse off the glass Thomas launches it up oh perfect pass Boston will move on to play Washington in game one Boston took care of business but game two happened to fall on a certain day the birthday of Isaiah Thomas’s late sister China this would a lock sing in Isaiah that had never been seen before Thomas Fires for three he’s got it forf for the lead feed Thomas the Euro Step bortot gets the bucket on the inside it’s 4434 bortot has eight Isaiah Thomas Reb Action Thomas lob it up Horford U is going to get the start but they’re going to have to guard him as a team Isaiah Thomas grazes the rim track down by Horford ISAC rier Thomas it’s a three Isaiah Thomas drives in kicks it out Rosier big shot oh he’s got it Morris 50 seconds to go Washington up by one Isaiah Thomas he’s not human Thomas gets a step on wall Morris there to greet him Thomas and they keep feeding him Isaiah Thomas to the hall Thomas crosses F called and what Celtics victorious in overtime Boston was now up 2 however Washington would win backto back games Boston took game five then John Wall hit a three in game six to be up one the Celtics would have a chance CH to Win It Horford Bradley sets a screen they switch it inside alen couldn’t catch it and a foul fou Thomas got the catch three on the way for the win and the Washington Wizards will live for game seven luckily for Boston they won in game seven and they would go on to play Cleveland this was supposed to be an eventful match up but one that seemed pretty close the stage was that man let’s not forget they did have the overall number one seed in the e what a great season by the Boston Celtics and Brad Stevens they W 53 and 29 another one of the East Boston would once again fall but there was still hope as long as they kept this court together despite their amazing season Boston would win the lottery again that Brooklyn Nets trade was aging like fine wine Boston had their choice in a draft class that was one of the most hyped up in years Marco folz was the top prospect and it seemed like Boston was going to take him but then Boston would surprise everyone they traded down to number three in exchange they would get picks in the future but the focus was on now the NBA draft came and Boston made their impact Boston Celtics select Jason Tatum from University the Celtics had now just added a prospect that had all the potential in the world but then Boston made a trade a controversial one Danny called me um I missed his call when I got back to Seattle I missed his call he text me it give me a call back called him back then he asked me how I was doing I was like I just got back to Seattle he knew I was on my my my anniversary he knew I was in Miami so I said I just got back to Seattle I’m chilling headed home and then like it got a little quiet and then that’s when he like he broke it to me he’s like well it I just traded you in every sense of the way this was [ __ ] up from Boston’s perspective it wasn’t known at the time but this trade would ruin the career of Isaiah Thomas but the trade was positive for Boston in some ways now they had one of the best guards in the league and on top of that this was the trade that made Gordon Hayward want to sign to Boston Hayward was just fresh off making the All-Star team for the first time in his career and was in his prime opening night versus Cleveland was the perfect matchup to open the season and here come the Boston Celtics last season they were 53 and 29 and inside there’s Kyrie to hammer it home with the left hand here comes LeBron it’s aead to Rose who floats in for the news play by Kyrie down Court Here Comes Crown who hammers it all better way with this young team this is the guy that probably hit the biggest shot in Cav’s history they’re going up oh my goodness Hayward came down so hard okay Hayward broke his leg Hayward has broken his leg this was a terrible start to Boston’s season however despite losing the first two games of the Season Boston would win 16 straight Boston was 49 and 23 when all of a sudden Kyrie would be rolled out for the rest of the season including the playoffs Boston was now down two of their All-Star and veteran players this season was not looking promising ising but Boston would end the season as the two- seed with most of the veterans on the team injured Boston’s young Corp Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown and even Terry Rosier would have to lead the way and that’s exactly what they did they were one game away from making the finals and this was without Kyrie and Gordon Hayward slowly but surely this team was coming together the 2019 season was very confusing to say the least Boston went 49 and 33 but had multiple problems during the season it was mostly drama and internal proms within the team that led to them getting eliminated in the second round the 2020 season was also weird but eventful the Celtics got Kimbell Walker after trading Terry Rosier and then a day later Kyrie would leave to go to Brooklyn the season itself was solid for Boston including the suspension of the NBA season due to co Boston would end the season with a 48 and 24 record Being the three seed in fact they did well in the bubble even making it the Eastern Conference Finals Miami however would get the best of them beating them in six games and now it was time to get back to the drawing board the 2021 season was yet again another weird year due to injuries from most of Boston’s roster the ended the season as the seventh seed and got beat by Brooklyn in five Boston was slowly running out of time if this court was going to win it would have to be now Boston made the choice to make Brad Stevens go from coach to president of basketball operations his replacement e udoka the Celtics did well during the regular season ending as the second seed winning 51 games in round one they played Brooklyn who beat them last year but Boston was here for Revenge they completely shut down Kevin Durant in a way no one had ever seen before up to this point and they were able to sweep Brooklyn Milwaukee was a team that Boston had trouble with years prior it was a close series but in the end Boston would win Miami was the last obstacle Miami had played Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals less than 2 years ago Boston had finally done it they were in the finals and actually had a chance in fact most experts said Boston were the favorites with an 86% chance to win the finals their opponent the Golden State Warriors and in no way shape or form were they a championship team the core of Steph clay and Draymond was good but these players were aging and the bench wasn’t that good compared to previous years Boston took game one then Golden State will win the following game Boston will win game three when Steph Curry would say something that would change everything so we sitting there and he looked he just like enjoy your ass win like us like like it’s it’s it’s 21 like what you mean like we I’m sitting here like this I’m like man what what size am I like I need my ring size yeah nah this was no longer in Boston’s control [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Boston was right there and yet they couldn’t do it they should have won that Series in every way but Steph Curry was letting Boston was not prepared for it to make matters worse Boston didn’t have their coach anymore thankfully psychopath Joe moula the assistant coach of the team would step up Boston did great winning 57 games and once again was the second seed in round one they handled business in Atlanta winning in six but the following series versus Philly was not going to be easy James Harden played one of the best playoff games he possibly could scoring 45 points and Philly took a 1 lead Boston will blow out Philly in game two Boston took game three and game four was pretty close Philly won game five and now they were up 3-2 all they had to do was win one of two games to move on but Boston wasn’t going to give up that [Music] easy little quick sit dribble Tatum that’s two sets the screen smart over Harris tough shot slips out fires the three m two in a row make it three doc was trying to get them to foul Tatum with the three that one Falls 16 points in the fourth quarter number 18 still very much in play Boston was now going to the Eastern Conference Finals to play a familiar opponent Miami and Boston had many battles over the years and now this is what it all let up to Miami was on their own run as an N Seed and they made it farther than anyone could have imagined Miami took game one okay that’s nothing to worry about but then Miami took game two okay it’s bad but not over but then Miami went up 3 0 no team in NBA history had ever came back down 3 0 but if any team was going to do it Boston was going to be that team [Music] [Music] it’s off the smart for the seventh game n can they tipped in but the buzzer sounded the light was on against it and scws good he puts it down two threes in a row for the heat butler off the block Johnson screen out of B open triple it’s off to Vincent got the screen launches a free cide Martin makes the fake Williams bit the fre Bulls Robinson with a three and the assist the Miami Heat they stand High to ey with history and they did not blink Boston should not have lost they were the better team once again but I feel like that’s been the theme of this video Boston was pissed and decided to put a team together so good and so talented they had no choice but to win win they traded for christas porzingis which was seen as a trade with small risk and high reward but they did lose someone in the process that I don’t think they should have let go they traded Marcus Smart the captain the heart and soul of this team he was the embodiment of what it meant to be a Boston Celtic they also got Drew holiday in a trade that absolutely nobody saw coming they even made Jaylen Brown the highest paid player in the NBA which caused a load of controversy there was little to no weaknesses with this team and during the regular season they would show just that Boston was not going to lose they were by far the best team in the regular season in round one they were faced up against Miami yes the same Miami team that gave them trouble the year before ran in many years but this wasn’t the Celtics from before a round one Victory got to put it in you’re hearing the whistles Cleveland was up next but again they weren’t ready the Boston Celtics have punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals Boston was now playing Indiana who was on a Cinderella run of their own but Boston said [ __ ] Your Cinderella Story that’s it it’s over the Celtics are heading back to the NBA finals and another crushing finish for these Indiana Pacers everyone said Boston got lucky with who they’ played and up to this point had not yet been battle tested this was until Dallas had won the West Dallas was one of the hottest teams in basketball and people thought they would silence Boston but Boston was so far gone at this game it’s over time to say it again Boston anything’s possible batter number 18 has been secured the Celtics are NBA [Applause] champions at least the Salter’s in there somewhere he said during these Conference Finals and finals whether it’s come from the players whether it’s we did it we did it oh my God we did it 2024 Bill Russell finals MVP goes to Jaylen [Music] [Applause] Brown it was a full team effort and I shared this with my brothers and my my partner in crime Jason Tatum he was with me the whole way so we Shar this [ __ ] [Applause] together the Boston Celtics had finished the story [Music] h

  1. I still wish the Celtics would of kept terry rozier instead of the Kyrie, kemba, and on experiment. Isiah Thomas bled green, man deserved better . Just think Tatum and brown could be on the 76ers but instead they took fultz and Simmons. Two all nba players vs two that aren't even in the league anymore?

  2. This video was awesome man!! So we’ll put together! Thankyou from a lifelong Connecticut Boston fan!

  3. If Tatum doesn't get hurt in g7 against Miami I think Boston probably wins that game. If Boston wins that game they probably lose in 5 or 6 to Denver, especially with RWill only able to play 15 mins a game and Brogdon's arm injury making him go from 6MOTY to non-factor. If Boston does make it to the Finals I'm not entirely sure if Stevens decides to blow it up. Back to back Finals appearances (with both likely being losses) shows the team can still do it, with injuries being the defining factor. If Tatum doesn't get injured Brown isn't tasked with being the #1 in game 7 and he doesn't get hounded on his left hand and he doesn't tirelessly work on that all off season.

    So many dominoes fell in the perfect way for Boston to not only decide to blow it up and add the 2 big pieces they did last off season in KP and Jrue, but also for the two Jays to find what they need to work on, and it lead to one of the best Celtics teams of all time, a ring, and 2 ECFMVP + FMVP for Jaylen Brown who was much maligned after his game 7 stinker last year.

  4. Really put into perspective how bad that move by Allen was, blew a 3-2 lead then joined them on a cheap deal… borderline as bad as kd

  5. Im from NZ, moved to the states two and half years ago and have never liked or watched basketball.
    I watched one game with my husband before the playoffs.
    It was the Celtics and I was completely awestruck with the team instantly, their dynamics of play is so unique and their coach Joe is such an amazing guy.
    I quickly fell in love with basketball and the team, followed them religiously through the whole season to their win.
    Celtics fan for life and congrats to their long overdue win!!

    I have to respectfully disagree.
    The Warriors that year, especially Steph Curry, were absolutely on fire that season. They may have been aging but they were still hungry with a huge monkey on their back.
    If anything, the series should have been over in five games had the Celtics not come from behind in GM1.
    Not saying anything bad about the Celtics but I felt they were really inconsistent in the postseason that year. They can be dominant in one game and then fall flat the next.
    They were talented but not quite ready yet. It was a winnable series to some degree but Boston either had to play perfect basketball or the Warriors choking. If anything, it gave the Celtics a chip on their shoulder.
    Never underestimate a roster of aging but still hungry talent.
    Past that, great video.

  7. Guys, so basic really. First, Celtics have 4 ELITE playmakers – more than any NBA team – JT, JB, Jdrue and White. These guys can put the ball on the floor, create their shots or winning plays. Imagine with all four on the floor. Or they are substitutable with one another – meaning one or two can rest without the offense dipping. More winning plays means higher scores. Second, the Celtics' first 8 rotational guys can shoot 3's at a collective average of 35%. Finally, they have 2 all NBA defensive guys, and maybe 3 – Brown included, who can be on the floor together. NO OTHER TEAM has these assets, credentials! That is why Boston topped the regular season by a mile and went on!
