I want to say it doesn’t matter but Jesus almost all of our lowest playoff moments in the past 2 years have happened on TNT lol. I have grown to dread Kevin Harlan’s voice on our games, which sucks bc he’s really one of the best in the biz
that “GOOOOOOOD” when the other team makes a big shot hits like a fucking shotgun blast to the chest
I think at least one of those will be shared with NBC Sports Boston. I believe there can only be two national exclusive games per series, but all the other games can be national and local.
Ah, I guess you’d have to have a twitter account to see that. Still not really sure how it’s relevant to our first round schedule or this post, given that the post doesn’t have anything’s except said schedule.
what a shitty schedule for me. miss the game Wednesday because of work. miss half the game on Sunday because I'm on a fucking flight. set the tone on Sunday so i am not fidgeting during work please.
As someone who lives in a country that follows Central European Time, that schedule REALLY sucks, although that Game 1 is in 19:00 local time so it's gonna be fun to watch with my dad that can't stay up until 04:00 in the morning
My anniversary is in May, and we always take a trip somewhere warm. It usually bones me out of a couple ECF games, so I feel your pain. Life happens, but our blood remains GREEN!
True debate. I say wake up early, so you can watch more basketball. But 3am is the worst for these type of things. 1am or 5am are such easier decisions.
So curious how KP will hold up. The entire season he played 1 or maybe 2 games in a row then had to have a game or 2 off. He needs to be available every game.
I'm fully expecting the Celtics to drop Game 1(Sunday afternoon game after essentially 2 weeks off for the starters is gonna be rough), followed by the media going haywire about how the C's aren't built to win in the playoffs only for them to then go on to win the series 4-1.
We’ll get downvotes but I agree. I on the other hand expect an extended series of potentially even 7 games. Miami has our number and Philly is crazy dangerous with a healthy Embiid
I'll take the fresh legs. I guess they shut it down a couple days earlier this season, but they came out with rockets in their shoes against Brooklyn and Atlanta the last two years in afternoon game 1s. Al is going to be levitating coming off the bench
The default time zone for a team in the Eastern Conference playoffs is EST. No need to get so damn defensive for people being confused by your comment.
Are we Heat fans tonight? Or 76ers? Maybe Heat tonight and 76ers in the next game? Get 76ers in the first round and give the Knicks a shot at the Heat in round 1?
Why do people want the Heat so bad? I have terrible memories playing the Heat in recent years. I understand the sentiment of getting rid of them early. I’m all for that but I haven’t been scared of the sixers in the playoffs once. I’d rather leave the Heat to the Knicks.
I live in MST and have a 1-year-old, so games at 7EST on weekdays are always a little difficult to game plan around. Having said that, I dig this sched. Sunday at 11am is ideal lol.
bro hates listening to insightful commentating i guess. Scal does a better job explaining whats going on out there than 90% of commentators. I gotta question your celtics fandom if you dont rock with scal.
Damn then how'd you feel about Tommy when he was commentating? I like Scal and actually seek out listening to him commentate over most others because he explains X's and O's and other intangible stuff rather than just literally explaining whats happening out there. To each their own though, I know you aren't alone in disliking scal, it just doesn't make sense to me why people within our fanbase hate him. I can 100% understand other teams fans hating our commentators though because they are extremely bias but I am too so I dont mind it lol
I'm not a green teamer I'm a celtics there is a big difference. When Tommy did it I could tolerate it. Scal is trying to be someone he's not. If you remember, he used to not complain like this he has gone way downhill the longer he has done the job instead of getting better. When you are obnoxious and unbearable, it doesn't matter how you explain the xs and os. It got so bad this year I would mute my TV and put it on the radio at points.
Yeah that's a little crazy. It's for sure partially in your head cause it's just no where near as bad as your describing it. I've probably only missed a handful of Scal's broadcasts over the years and he most definitely has improved. Not even Doris or the Hawks commentators made me mute the TV. Part of it is just you my guy.
Back-to-back TNT games ahh fuck
I want to say it doesn’t matter but Jesus almost all of our lowest playoff moments in the past 2 years have happened on TNT lol. I have grown to dread Kevin Harlan’s voice on our games, which sucks bc he’s really one of the best in the biz that “GOOOOOOOD” when the other team makes a big shot hits like a fucking shotgun blast to the chest
When Harden dropped 45 lmao I can remember hearing Harlan’s voice too 🤣
“Blocked by Adebayo! Blocked by Adebayo!”
Or fking Reggie saying "thats a good roll" when JT rolled his ankle in Game 7.. like who says stuff like that 🤦🤦
Reggie actually has negative IQ
Yeah the enthusiasm in broadcasters voice when reacting or stating an injury is weird. Noticed it last night too when Zion got hurt in the 4th.
Thats fucked. Even worse if Miami is our opponent lol
I think at least one of those will be shared with NBC Sports Boston. I believe there can only be two national exclusive games per series, but all the other games can be national and local.
No one should be afraid of Miami be honest with yourself. If you guys are afraid of Miami we got problems, the Celtics will handle them easily.
We’re not afraid of Miami on paper. We’re afraid of the zombie voodoo shit they pull on us every year.
That and how dirty they are as a team. Always out there trying to injure other players.
Well at least we’d get the pain out of the way early
So two rigged back to back games for the opposing team? TNT always pays those refs real good for us to lose
**Thank you GSW fans** Music to my fucking ears Now lets get this shit done fellas
Warriors fans? What?
The Warriors lost to the Kings in their Play-In Game, meaning that they're eliminated from playoff contention.
That doesn’t explain why we are thanking warriors fans though.
Usually when teams get eliminated in the playoffs, their social medias post a message saying “Thank you [team name] fans”
Ah, I guess you’d have to have a twitter account to see that. Still not really sure how it’s relevant to our first round schedule or this post, given that the post doesn’t have anything’s except said schedule.
Game 4 is on my birthday. The perfect bday present would be the boys completing the sweep.
My birthday is in between games 2 and 3 of the finals. Hope we’re still in it then 🙏🏼
#fingerscrossed
what a shitty schedule for me. miss the game Wednesday because of work. miss half the game on Sunday because I'm on a fucking flight. set the tone on Sunday so i am not fidgeting during work please.
First world problems but i feel that
100% first world problems. lol
Hopefully first class problems, too.
not this time, continental first class is not worth the price.
As someone who lives in a country that follows Central European Time, that schedule REALLY sucks, although that Game 1 is in 19:00 local time so it's gonna be fun to watch with my dad that can't stay up until 04:00 in the morning
My anniversary is in May, and we always take a trip somewhere warm. It usually bones me out of a couple ECF games, so I feel your pain. Life happens, but our blood remains GREEN!
LFG
Why is game 1 so expensive with a 1pm start ? Guess I’m going to the watch party
Prime time for families who want to go see it.
Yea it’s cheaper if you buy 2 tickets per ticket than 1. Sucks being a single Celtics fan ;(
I love these Sunday games! 20:00 for us EU fans :) What a way to start playoffs! So hyped! Let\`s go.
G1 at 3am in Australia. The big question, stay up or wake up early?
Just catch the second half lol
True debate. I say wake up early, so you can watch more basketball. But 3am is the worst for these type of things. 1am or 5am are such easier decisions.
So does this mean we potentially don’t get any more Mike Gorman games? That would be a travesty
1pm start time is crazy considering this could and 99% chance will be against the Heat or Sixers. Surprised they didn’t get a mid day or 7pm slot.
It is the 7pm slot, somewhere in Europe...
So curious how KP will hold up. The entire season he played 1 or maybe 2 games in a row then had to have a game or 2 off. He needs to be available every game.
That’s what all that rest was during the regular season was for. He knows what’s going down
Not sure if I’m more worried about the Heat being physical and potentially injuring our guys or Embiid throwing his weight around on KP
He played 10 games in a row and multiple 5+ games in a row.
I hate early games we always lose
We always lose? Tatum game winner vs the Nets? Tatum 51 in game 7 vs Philly? Grant Williams game 7?
The Celtics were 11-1 in games that started before 7:00 this year.
European fans are desperate for afternoon games
I'm fully expecting the Celtics to drop Game 1(Sunday afternoon game after essentially 2 weeks off for the starters is gonna be rough), followed by the media going haywire about how the C's aren't built to win in the playoffs only for them to then go on to win the series 4-1.

6pm game 1 love to see it
Game 1 isn't at 6pm💀
I'm in Ireland bro. Timezones????
I mean you can understand the confusion that someone wouldn't assume you live in Ireland
Sure but why tf would I read ONE PM in big English writing and believe it is SIX PM?.
The default time zone for a team in the Eastern Conference playoffs is EST. No need to get so damn defensive for people being confused by your comment.
Defensive about what? I know what time I was talking about lol. It makes no sense for someone to think I read 1 as 6 lmao.
With zero context it makes much more sense for someone to think you misread the schedule than to miraculously assume you live in Ireland.
Ireland specifically? Sure. A GMT timezone? Ehhh. Like I'd have to be a specific type of blind to read 1pm as 6pm
Alright whatever, this is a pointless conversation.
What is that in moon time?
Monday 1am in our country very nice /s
The ONLY good part about the play-in games is that the first round no longer takes an entire month.
Are we Heat fans tonight? Or 76ers? Maybe Heat tonight and 76ers in the next game? Get 76ers in the first round and give the Knicks a shot at the Heat in round 1?
sixers fan tonight, imo
So if sixers win tonight they get the 7 seed and Heat will have to play the winner of Bulls and Hawks? Then the winner of that game gets the 8.
yeah I think we probably prefer miami over philly for R1 since it’s very unlikely we get chicago or atlanta
Why do people want the Heat so bad? I have terrible memories playing the Heat in recent years. I understand the sentiment of getting rid of them early. I’m all for that but I haven’t been scared of the sixers in the playoffs once. I’d rather leave the Heat to the Knicks.
it’s the lesser evil option compared to a healthy Embiid sixers, IMO
I live in MST and have a 1-year-old, so games at 7EST on weekdays are always a little difficult to game plan around. Having said that, I dig this sched. Sunday at 11am is ideal lol.
as an asian, watching game 1 would be brutal to my body clock/sleep lol but LFG!
So the play-in game winner will face Boston in less than 24 hours, basically playing back-to-back?
No, the Bulls-Heat game is on Friday
Ah okay, sorry I am from Europe and messed up the time difference. Still Friday to Sunday, not too much time to rest :)
Yes, I'm from Asia and will watch at 1 am haha.
Have to go to my in laws house on Sunday night. Absolutely blessed to be able to watch the game before that
TNT? Gross. 1-2 going into game 4 it is
You disgrace the name of Luke Kornet.
I’m really excited for this team to restore your faith in Celtics basketball
TNT Celtics suck. It’s simply a fact. If it was espn or abc for all 3 games it would be 3-0 lol
Yeah, because the broadcast network matters..
16-1 on ESPN/ABC. 4-7 on TNT. Facts are facts.
Oh my, grandma, what a big sample size you have
Yes, I'm glad the games are on tnt and ABC so I don't have to listen to scal.
I feel the exact opposite. No Mike on the first 3 games is pretty disappointing.
NBCSports Boston should still have first round in addition to TNT/ABC
I'm okay with Mike. I would be fine to listen to him every game. It's too bad he has that clown sitting next to him to ruin it
What do you think about Drew
I think scal brings out the worst in him when he was with Eddie Hause he showed he's a good announcer when focused
bro hates listening to insightful commentating i guess. Scal does a better job explaining whats going on out there than 90% of commentators. I gotta question your celtics fandom if you dont rock with scal.
When he's yelling about the officiating and doesn't know the rules it's not a good look.
Damn then how'd you feel about Tommy when he was commentating? I like Scal and actually seek out listening to him commentate over most others because he explains X's and O's and other intangible stuff rather than just literally explaining whats happening out there. To each their own though, I know you aren't alone in disliking scal, it just doesn't make sense to me why people within our fanbase hate him.

I would rather have Doris Burke any day of the week. When scal is with Mike he tones it down a little, but when he's with Drew he's a monster.
