The Celtics are Making HISTORY…



The Celtics are Making HISTORY…

Yo what’s going on y’all it’s con back here again today with another video and today I want to talk for a bit about the Boston Celtics last night they played their final game heading into the All-Star break and completely annihilated the Brooklyn Nets by exactly

50 points 136 to 86 this was a game where the Nets had pretty much everybody healthy they were only missing Ben Simmons and the Celtics were without Jaylen Brown as well as Al Horford and still completely demolished them winning every quarter but the last one by at the

Very least double digits Tatum had 20.7 rebounds and nine dimes chrisop porzingis had 15 and5 Derek White had 27 5-4 pyton Pritchard went out there with 28 points four rebounds and three assists O’Shea brette had 114 and five Drew holiday didn’t do much of anything and it still didn’t matter it was their

Six straight win and one more statement heading into the All-Star break and what has kind of been a season of statement so far for the Celtics heading into the break the Celtics sit at both the top of the Eastern Conference and the NBA as a

Whole with a record of 43 and 12 that’s 31 games above 500 and they’re currently on Pace for 64 wins which would be the fourth highest win total in Celtics history and the most that the Celtics have had since that 2008 title team they’re six games ahead of the

Two-seated Cavaliers in the East and four and a half games better than the Timberwolves Who currently have the second best record in the NBA at the moment truth be told they’ve completely dominated the NBA so far this season they’ve had five win streaks of five games or more and haven’t had

Back-to-back losses since their sixth and seventh games of the season in which they lost to Minnesota in overtime who are the second best team in the league right now record-wise and to Philadelphia by three points one of their biggest Eastern Conference Rivals when Joel embiid is playing so every

Other stretch of the Season they’ve looked for the most part completely Unstoppable they never lose back-to-back games they very rarely have bad losses it’s a Jugger out of a squad and yet I feel like I haven’t seen that many people talk about them maybe I’m just not getting recommended the right stuff

On Twitter NBA YouTube maybe I’m part of the problem because this is only the second video I’ve made on the Celtics as like the focal point this entire season I’ve of course done you know like the every Team videos where I talk about every single Squad and I do praise

Boston a lot in those videos but this is just the second video All Season where we’re solely focusing on them and the last time I made one was back in November and to be honest the reason there’s been that big of a gap is cuz they’re just doing the same stuff

They’re just dominating the NBA the same way they were at the beginning of the Season we’re just now later into the year but I do want to talk about just how dominant they’ve been because I don’t think people realize how good this Celtics team truly is let’s start it off

With some stats at the moment the Celtics have the best offense not just in basketball but the best offense in the history of the sport there’s never been an offense that is putting up as many points as the Boston Celtics are not to mention on the defensive end

They’re clamping up as well they’re not just a onetick pony because they’re also top three in defensive rating they’re the only team in the league that is top three in both those categories and one of two teams joining OKC that is even top five in both those categories this

Is easily the most well-rounded team in the entire league they’re also great on the boards they’ve got the fourth best rebounding percentage so they’re both securing possessions and finishing them on the defensive end and also giving their offense more chances on the offensive end they’re also top five in

Turnover percentage so they’re not giving the opposing teams a lot of extra opportunities they take care of the ball way better than it feels like Celtics teams in the past half they’re also top six and true shooting percentage so they’re additionally one of the most efficient teams in the entire league

Which does make sense as the best offense in the history of the sport not to mention they’ve got experience sometimes we talk about these great teams and they’re young squads like I know as a thunder fan a lot of people are like hey this Thunder team is really

Good but they don’t really have the experience so how is that going to play out for them in the playoffs this Celtics team has the experience a lot of guys in this roster have been to the NBA finals made deep playoff runs Joe moula last season coached them to nearly a 3

Comeback in the Eastern Conference Finals they’ve been there and done this before they’re a veteran Le team that’s got some young Talent they do everything well they don’t really have a single major flaw in this entire team like if you’d ask me what’s one problem the Celtics team has just purely based off

Ey test I might have told you that they don’t feel like the best clutch team in the world like they’ll get in these close games towards the end they’ll settle for a lot of bad shots I know a lot of their game winning attempts are these ridiculous Fade Away threes or

Super tough mid-ranges they get a bit into ISO ball this has been a problem with the Celtics for years and I feel like watching some of their games this season especially against the top teams I’ve still seen some flashes of this but if you take a look at the numbers

They’re maybe the best clutch team in the entire NBA they’ve got the second best winning percentage fifth best offensive rating fifth best defensive rating and the second best net rating in the entire league in clutch Time games so even though the it test may tell you that hey they struggle a little bit

They’re still getting it done with the best teams in the league they are getting results continuously everywhere on the court at any time in the game this lack of flaws is made pretty evident by the fact that they have a net rating at the moment of a plus 10.3

Which if you didn’t know is absolutely ridiculous if that number holds they will be just the 13th team in NBA history to have a net rating of 10 or higher and they’re currently tied for the 10th best net rating in a season of all time this is not just a great team

In the moment they’re currently playing at a historically great level they currently have a three Point advantage on the second place Oklahoma City Thunder in terms of net rating and this would be only the fourth time since 1996 97 that a team had a three plus Point

Advantage in net rating over the second place team the other squads that did this were the 2020 bucks the 2017 Warriors and the 2015 Warriors and two of those three teams won the NBA title so the numbers say that the Celtics are historically great and if you take a

Look at the roster how good they are makes a lot of sense it begins at the top with Jason Tatum for as much hate as he gets he’s one of the best players in the world currently put up 27.1 points per game 8.6 rebounds and 4.8 dimes to

Go with a seal on 47.5% shooting from the field and 36.3% from Deep he’s got the best field goal percentage of his career His Highest three-point percentage since 2021 the highest assist per game Mark of his entire career he’s a more complete player at the moment than he’s ever been high level Defender

Skilled score from all over the court really the only problem with Jason Tatum’s game is I feel like sometimes he settles a lot like he goes for these tough midr jumpers when he could instead attack down heill get to the basket or knock down those threes but even with

Those slight concerns Tatum can very clearly in my opinion be the best player on a championship team especially a team with this much talent Tatum has been the best player on a team that went to the finals and a number of Eastern Conference Finals and the squad R him at

The moment is way better than it’s ever been before which is also why I see a lot of people saying oh I’m not going to believe in the Celtics because they failed before this team is way better than any of the other squads they’ve had

In this Jason Tatum era part of that is his co-star in Jaylen Brown who isn’t putting up the numbers that he did last season but still having a phenomenal year he’s taken a pretty big back seat with some of the new talent in town and

It’s led him to a lot of wins 22 points per game 5 and a half boards 3.7 dimes and 1.1 steal playing some really solid defense Jaylen Brown is huge for this team I think a lot of people look at the way that the Celtics playoff run ended

Last year in his contract and think Jay Brown’s not actually that good JB is a phenomenal player and he’s really critical to everything they do someone else who’s important is chrisop porzingis the big addition for them in the off season the guy that I said was a

Perfect fit for this team that was was going to turn them into the best team in the NBA and he has done exactly that doing everything that I was hoping for and even more 20.2 points per game seven rebounds two assists and 1.9 blocks shooting 53% from the field and 37% from

Deep he’s been amazing for them defensively as that Lynch pin high level rim protector high level post presence giving them a new dimension to their offense that they really haven’t had in the past he’s been great as a playmaker for this team as a connector an outside shot maker porzingis does everything I

Don’t think the numbers truly do it justice just just how good porzingis has been and how impactful he is he has been an allar level player he didn’t make the game but porzingis make no mistake has given them Allstar level impact it’s the same thing for Derek white who I said

Would be a big breakout player for the Celtics this season even before they traded Marcus Smart but after they did I was like oh yeah Derek White’s going to have an amazing season and he’s done that he was getting a lot of Allstar conversation before the teams were

Selected and it makes sense 15.6 points per game four boards 4.7 dimes a stealing over a block per game while knocking down 40% of his threes and being one of the top five guard defenders in the entire world right now he’s got to be an all defensive second

Team at the very least I put him an all defensive first team he does everything for this Celtic Squad and does not get enough credit even though people are going to talk about oh he shouldn’t have gotten All-Star hype Derek white truly gives them that level of impact Drew

Holiday as well another big addition 13 points per game six rebounds and five dime shooting 44% from Deep hasn’t popped off the page a lot for Boston but it’s giving them amazing defense playmaking at high level part of the reason why their turnover numbers are down and he’s again knocking down 44% of

His threes just kind of playing a background role which is exactly what Drew holiday should be doing for them if you ask me these five guys are easily the most talented starting five in the entire NBA every one of them can defend can score can create off the dribble

They play really well off of each other it’s a well-oiled machine they are easily the biggest reason why the Celtics have been so historically great but also Off the Bench they do have some guys who are contributing in one way or another Sam Hower has been really solid

As a shooter Off the Bench shooting 41 % from deep and playing some pretty solid defense even sliding into the starting lineup at times when they deal with injury pton Pritchard has been really reliable as a 38% three-point shooter Off the Bench like I said gave them 28

Points last night he’s a spark plug Al Horford has been great Off the Bench shooting 40% from Deep still giving them some really solid down low defense grabbing seven Boards dishing out a few diamonds per game and blocking a shot per contest Al Horford despite getting

Near 40 is still a really good player Luke cornette and neas kada have given them some solid minutes Oshea Bret has brought some really good energy for them and they also just made two really solid additions at the deadline to bolster their depth even further first up there’s Jaden Springer who gives them

Just another defensive guard as if they didn’t have enough already that they can throw into the mix he showed a lot of flashes in Philadelphia before being traded here he is Young and a pretty raw player so I don’t know how many minutes he’s actually going to get but it’s good

To just have that piece in there if they deal with an injury to one of the Guard spots or say like pton pritchard’s not really holding up you could throw Jaden Springer into the mix and I think he could give you some solid minutes they also added Xavier Tilman who’s a bruis

Using power forward/center that a lot of advanced metric say is one of the better defending bigs in the entire league he’s great at guarding some of the more physical Bigs like he did a great job against Anthony Davis last year in the playoffs has had some great moments

Against like Nicole joic and they’re probably not even going to need him to play that many minutes he’s just there are some insurance in that front Court especially if they deal with some injuries speaking of injuries it felt like one of the only things that could derail the Celtics coming into this year

Was guys getting hurt and so far they’ve held up relatively well a lot of their guys have stayed on the court but even when guys have missed time it hasn’t really mattered for Boston like porzingis has missed 15 games so far this season and in those games the

Celtics went 12 and3 including wins over Philadelphia twice Indiana Orlando the Clippers Minnesota Dallas and New Orleans so even when maybe their second best player in porzingis is missing games they’re still perfectly fine can blowout teams and often beat some of the best teams in the world it just really

Doesn’t matter because they have so much talent so many guys that can step into the other guys’ roles when they miss time it’s just a ridiculously well-built Squad Brad Stevens deserves so much credit for what he’s done with his Boston team how he’s reshaped the roster

In his time as the GM like adding Dereck white at a trade deadline move that a lot of people didn’t think that much of it at the time now he’s one of the critical pieces to this team he brought in porzingis and Dre holiday in the

Offseason to help them fix some of their issues he has built the best team in the NBA the best team in the Eastern Conference and still to this moment like I picked him before the season my pick to win the NBA Finals I know there are a

Lot of people out there who still think that the Celtics are frauds they’re not actually this good that they’re going to choke in the playoffs but I’m just let you from everything I’ve seen so far this season these Celtics are different from any of the other teams that we’ve

Seen in the Jason Tatum era they’re much more wellb built for the playoffs they’re great on both sides of the ball historically great at that they’re dominating the NBA at the moment a league that has a ton of great teams just I don’t know if anybody in the Eastern Conference specifically is on

The level of Boston at the moment and there are some great teams like the Knicks I think are fantastic the Bucks have had their moments like the Cavaliers are really putting things together the Sixers wouldn’t beat as healthy but at the moment I think Boston

Is just kind of on a different level if they weren’t the team heading to the finals out of the East I would genuinely be completely shocked but yeah with all that being said I appreciate you watching leave like And subscribe if you enjoyed hit the notification Bell so you

Don’t miss out on future videos do you also have the Boston Celtics winning the East do you have them winning the NBA finals and if you don’t how far do you think they go in the playoffs you know what could be their downfall if they

Don’t end up going as far as they want to I appreciate you watching I’ll see youall later real one say back

Heading into the season, I picked the Boston Celtics to win both the Eastern Conference and the NBA Finals. We’re now at the All Star break and not only have they confirmed my belief in them, but they’re playing like one of the best teams in NBA history. Behind the play of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Jrue Holiday primarily, they’re a juggernaut on both sides of the ball and are on pace for one of the best Celtics seasons of all time. Even though some may not believe in them, this Celtics team is better than most people realize. Let’s talk about it.

  1. ATTENTION JAYLEN BROWN… I've been betting your over 20.5 (ppg)the past 6 games WTF Jaylen don't you know how to score anymore??? I'm tripling my bets and believing in you this next game SO BRING IT!!

  2. Interesting statistic (from Rusty Buckets): only one team has ever won a Chip with over 40% of their shots from three. That is a weakness for the Celtics. An equally big weakness is that Tatum is not a top 5 player which is another thing usually needed for a Chip.

    Overall, they’re an incredible team, but just a couple of notes

  3. if we and more importantly all the refs would be honest, we all would see that Al Horford is the best grandpa in the league … if they would call travels and fouls truly against Lebron he wouldnt perform better then Al

  4. In the Playoffs I think the only teams that can beat them in the West are Nuggets Grizzlies and the dark horse – Mavs (iykyk).

  5. Your right about the nba media not talking about the Celtics. I see videos on other teams all the time and why they can win it all but the only media about the Celtics is when they lose and why they are flawed. It’s crazy seeing a team this good being consistently ignored

  6. I have a lot to say as a Celtics fan.
    This team is great, Kristaps and jrue have been exactly what the team needed.
    Jrue is Marcus with better defense and better offence.
    KP is the key to the team, he unlocks what Tatum and brown can be, his 2 man game with either wing is almost completely unstoppable.
    The whole time I’ve watched this team they’ve needed a big desperately and now we see what it is they were missing.
    Tatum has been mvp level this year but is making a lot of sacrifices to win.
    Dwhite is another level this year, he does whatever you need offensively and defensively he’s great partnered with jrue.
    The bench was shaky to begin with but they really come round and contributed in a big way.
    If kp can stay healthy the only thing that stops this team is themselves.
    Like you said they’ve always had a habit of settling, I think there’s still adjustment to be made with jaylen and Jayson, the help is there now and they need to use it.
    Even without a ring I’ll be happy with another finals appearance, I think the window for this team will be open for a few seasons health provided.

  7. At the end of the day the Celtics are frauds. Choke job after choke job. We'll see if this is the year they can actually win it all when it matters.

  8. Porzingus makes this team literally unstoppable on offense because you can't switch and jrue improves our defense so much for so many reasons this Celtics team has a chance to be a dynasty nevermind EASILY winning it this year

  9. Not having back to back losses since November is honestly incredible. That stat alone shows how great this team is.

    What's crazy is they're on pace for 64 wins which is fantastic, but they could easily have at least 3 more wins than they do. If that were the case they'd be on pace for 69 wins.

    All of that said, the Celtics/Tatum hate and criticism will never cease until they win a championship.

  10. The Celtics will win the east and lose in the finals against the Denver Nuggets Jayson Tatum won’t have hall of fame defense at all in the postseason

  11. They’re gonna finish with more than 64 wins, the rest of their schedule is one of the 3 easiest 💀 you know how wild it is they’re the 1 seed convincingly and they’ve played the hardest part of their schedule by a mile?😂

  12. People keep on saying this team will not win it because of previous playoffs mishaps. Just to remind you, Tatum was injured last year in the very first play of the Game 7. If he wasn't, Celtics would definitely close that game out and might have even gave the Nuggets a arun for their money since they have the higher seed. Also, this team is so much different from last year's. They don't have Smart who makes bad late-game decisions, and they also don't have Brogdon and Timelord who were basically missing-in-action the whole playoffs because of untimely injuries. More importantly, they have Porzingis now which unlocks the post and gives the shooters lots of space because he is a threat anywhere

  13. one of my favorite stats is that Jrue is shooting over 60% on corner threes this season, just an insane clip

  14. I think one of the reasons why people aren’t talking about the Celtics as much is because this iteration (the Jayson Tatum / Jaylen Brown duo) of the team has all the makings of a championship run but has yet to convert. They’ve been going to the playoffs within their first two years of being drafted to the team and have had deep runs 4 of the 6 times that they have been. Even going to the finals once. Still, the consensus is that they just can’t get it done when it matters.

    I think people fail to see that these guys are young—25 and 27 respectively. They’ve also accomplished more for their age than many guys will in their entire NBA careers. To be honest, now would be the time for them to make serious pushes to win it all. So, I’d say they’re right on time. Despite being a Bucks fan, I picked Boston to win it all this year.

  15. Nobody talks about them because they’re so stacked that it’s a little boring.

    Every other team in the East is fighting for 2nd. Also the other eastern teams have all had really interesting trades – Pacers, Knicks or drama like the Bucks.

  16. We don’t talk about the Celtics because we don’t like the Celtics 😭 I’m a proud hater but can’t hate on excellence so I gotta stay silent, I assume that’s true for a lot of other fans who can’t stand the Celtics 😂

  17. I still think that BOS is overrated considering their record. This team can’t compete in high pressured playoff games. They dread teams with a physical front court. Bam/Butler/Martin is just one example. Ty Lue and Spo know that all they can do on offense is shooting 3s and finding mismatches for Tatum and Porzingis. I don’t see them beating teams like MIA/NY/MIN/DEN/LAL/LAC in a 7 game series.

  18. I had my doubts the last few seasons is just cuz of injury and I wasn’t sold on Smart, love him but inconsistency. This team though…if healthy we getting that chip

  19. All this but Tatum ain’t even top 5 in MVP race, it’s ridiculous imo
    The best player on the best team should always get talked about in that convo

  20. I’m telling you any other mvp race guy they would not be sacrificing there stat line to win and it’s still crazy for what Tatum is averaging while still giving up some stats

  21. NgL I love this team but sometimes they remind of the cowboys .. they tend to play down to their opponents and some of those losses if they had played a bit cleaner they would definitely have like 6-7 losses . It it’s a new team essentially but they can go cold and turn it over a lot. But for sure proud of the team.

  22. You forget the to put the pictures of the real dudes. Holiday, White, and Prozingis. These are the pictures you should be showing. As for the record what is the difference between this year and last year. I’ll tell you it’s Holiday White and Prozingis. These are the guys that have made this team win. It has nothing to do with Tatum and Brown other that their ISO ball which you can see during the course of the game some of them player really do not like it. The fade away shot you are talking about is Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Bottom line if this team won it won’t be because of Tatum and Brown. They had their chance and they failed. As for best player you said nothing about where Tatum is on the defensive end of the court. You young guys thinks is you can score the basketball you’re great. New flash dude offense do not win NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS defense do. This is just a lot of run off at the mouth. If Tatum is so great why do he needs Holiday and White. Dude please list to how you sound. One minute Tatum is all world but you can’t say anything about his defensive play.
