The race to 19 begins!
How lucky are we as Celtics fans that we have 2 elite all-star two-way wings, the best friggin defensive backcourt in the league, the 🦄, an amazing veteran 6th man and the deepest bench to repeat the championship quest!
Once a year, the Strawberries t-shirt makes its appearance. I still can't find my old tapes.
☘️☘️👊
I never for one second thought The Jays would come in at less than 100%.
Less then a week to go! I can't wait to see them raise banner 18 to the rafters! 🍀🍀🍀🏆🏆🏆
Nostalgia John seeing your 🍓 shirt! I had forgotten about that music store!
I think Tom's dog should be introduced as the CELTIC DOG of the year.
Almost time to hoist that bad boy to the rafters and shut up all the naysayers when we do it AGAIN. LFG!!!!!! ⬜🔝🔜
The repeat tour starts soon. Let’s go Celtics!!!!!
I listen to your content at 1.25 to 1.5x speed. if tom's around, i listen at 1.25.
John the best locked on podcaster here and in the nba locked on he got both on 🔒🔒
Celtics culture: "IRON SHARPENS IRON".💚☘☘☘
The question is how did the staff see JW when his summer was bad – they clearly correctly identified something. What did we miss ?
Jaylen is kind of scaring me a little bit with this big body shit. I don’t want them to get too carried away with the post we saw him get picked a few times other than that it looks good. But the one thing I will say is in the First quarter when Tatum came out and Jaylin was running the show that’s when we Fell behind. I’m not taking much from that at all, he was with a bunch of new players and the bench but just something I noticed.
Can we stop mentioning the Olympics because JT wasn’t gvn a chance to (shoot) well🤷♀️
I think the C’s are on a mission this season. The mission is to prove they are not only the best team but they are one of the all-time greats. They want to win more than the 08 team did. That’s why I think they’re gonna win 60+ games again.
JB and JT have improved every season and now with the added confidence of winning they looked primed to lead a repeat.
