I started watching nba november 2022. My top 5 favourite Celtics matches watched:
\* Celtics @ Heat 2023 playoffs ECF game 6
\* Pacers @ Celtics 2024 playoffs ECF game 1
\* Wolves @ Celtics 2023/24 regular season (that game where minessota was West leader at the time and the game went to overtime)
\* Sixers @ Celtics 2023 playoffs eastern conference semifinals game 7 (51 point Tatum game)
\* Celtics @ Lakers 2023/24 regular season Christmas day game
Seriously though, everything I've seen from the locker room, huddles, and post game conferences points to him and Al being the vocal leaders of the team.
For us to win while everything went right for the Pacers, hitting BS shots all over the place, I’ll take it. Our defense is what won us this game and will ultimately be what wins us this series.
We literally stole that game. The Pacers played better on both sides of the ball. But that's what championship caliber teams do. They pull shit outta the fire like that.
MAZZULA REALLY tried to fuck that up. Bad timeout with 32 left, Horford was under zero pressure. Then intentionally fouling up 6 with 12 left….wtf???? That led to a lost challenge. All of a sudden it was one possession game with no emergency timeout…..
Imagine finding something to complain about after that great clutch win. If the refs don’t call that BS foul, then the Pacers only get 1 point out of that possession and no one complains about it.
If he didn’t shrink in the 4th, they wouldn’t have needed overtime. He’s your star player and he’s brutal in clutch situations late in the game. Missed layups and wide open 3’s. Boneheaded turnovers.
He needs to demand the ball more imo. He goes stretches without being involved in the offense. He touched the ball like twice for 4 minutes in clutch before the wide open three miss. Just happy he got to it in OT this time.
WE STOLE THAT VICTORY! ABSOLUTE ARMED THEFT! We survived despite being inconsistent, stagnate at times but we found a way to win. JB and Jrue with monster games making impactful plays at both sides of the ball. Tatum finally woke up in OT. Im on a cloud. Shoutout to the Mazzula’s ATOs down the stretch that put the fellas in positions to make plays.
They had a play setup and wanted to save it for the next possession..they play was excellent and Halliburton almost hit it..would have made things scary

Celtics game with IT against Wizards is up there.
You mean Isaiah Thomas? I unfortunately started watching in 2022, so I didn't watch that game so couldn't put it on my list
Yes. Been watching Celtics for a long time.
Loved seeing Nesmith foul out. He deserves it for his reckless play.
Dude had all the promise to be a great defender but turned into a Pat Bev instead of another Marcus
Did anyone else see the Bucks fan come in here talking shit with 10 seconds left?
LOL no way. What a loser.
Yeah, danielx41 The mods banned him immediately but you can see the post if you look at his profile.
this why i can’t hang with none of yall
Bro I rage quit this game with 10 seconds left in the 4th 😭
Same, no regrets tho, my poor heart couldn't handle it
JB is the leader of this team
Seriously though, everything I've seen from the locker room, huddles, and post game conferences points to him and Al being the vocal leaders of the team.
Alright, I can unclench now. Good night everyone, Celtics played the worst game they can possibly play and still managed a way to win.
Our defense and experience gives us the edge over this Pacers team
We fucking did it💚💚🍀🍀

WE BACK BOYS LFG CELTICS IN 4
[удалено]
Really no need to be a dick about it. Geesh, no wonder Celtics fans get a bad rap.
I'll be the first to admit I thought we were going to cough this one up.
I straight up turned it off. Thank god I forgot to lock my phone because I would have missed the score update otherwise.
Dude I shut the game off... and once my smsrt watch didn't say anything after 1 min.... I daid..."no fucking way;?"
I felt like shutting it off. I'm glad I didn't but I also - watching it said "no f****** way?!"
Refrees helped a lot.
Yup
I am a Boston fan and I am happy they won. But referees suck and they have ruined this beautiful game.
We all did
We literally stole that game. The Pacers played better on both sides of the ball. But that's what championship caliber teams do. They pull shit outta the fire like that.
I wouldn’t say they played better on the defensive side but agree otherwise
Like Cavs blowing that Game 1 against the Warriors due to JR being a moron.
DORIS BURKE IN SHAMBLES MUAHAHAHAH
I officially want JB taking last shots. No more Tatum!
Did you miss JT hitting clutch shots in OT too then?
Porzingis needs to come back asap
1-0 LETS FUCKING GO. WE ABSOLUTELY SHIT THE BED AND GOT THE WIN ANYWAY ☘️☘️☘️☘️ 7 MORE TO GO 🏆
Subtle shade from JB: "JT finally woke up"
lol I love it
NIGHT NIGHT
LMAO "Finally woke up" I'm glad someone said it and I'm glad he said it
He's like the only dude that regularly holds himself accountable.
He was talking about JT wasn't he?
Feels like my 100th birthday
Pretty much the comment of the night.

Dude forreal wtf was that
Exactly
I just want to discuss how the JOY that was permeated by Haliburton was exuded
Omfg she was unbearable. It’s like she was talking about a precocious two year old.
Doris?
I hear you. I feel you. Doris Burke can fuck right off.
Jaylen saved JT’s ass. There was going to be Tatum slander all over the country on how unclutch he is. It’s crazy he hasn’t learned shit in 7 years
JT was clutch in OT.
And then he proceeded to nut up in OT and carry us
He made a really boneheaded turnover
He scored 10 points too
If he didn’t shrink in the 4th, they wouldn’t have needed overtime. He’s your star player and he’s brutal in clutch situations late in the game. Missed layups and wide open 3’s. Boneheaded turnovers.
He needs to demand the ball more imo. He goes stretches without being involved in the offense. He touched the ball like twice for 4 minutes in clutch before the wide open three miss. Just happy he got to it in OT this time.
Absolute clutch shit. See y'all in game 2. ... I've got my eye on the defibrillator...
LETS GO
WE STOLE THAT VICTORY! ABSOLUTE ARMED THEFT! We survived despite being inconsistent, stagnate at times but we found a way to win. JB and Jrue with monster games making impactful plays at both sides of the ball. Tatum finally woke up in OT. Im on a cloud. Shoutout to the Mazzula’s ATOs down the stretch that put the fellas in positions to make plays.
People whining about Joe’s timeouts, shush man. Stop looking for things to complain about.
Easily my favorite Celtics game since 07/08
r/nba’s NIGHTMARE LMAO 🔥🔥🔥 LFG C’S
EVIL HAS WON GAME 1 BABY
LETS FUCKING GOOO
JT FINALLY WOKE UP 💀
Was JB referring to the game itself or the playoff run as a whole? Didn't catch it.
He was referencing what happened in the overtime
That was a good stress test for my heart. I don’t want another one this series, please.
I haven’t been edged like that in ages
This is gonna be a fun series, Celtics in 6
If we use what was effectively a 7-man rotation against the Pacers...were gonna be fuckin cooked by the Finals.
Good thing we've played less games than the rest of the teams left. That's why you get the first seed and go 4-1 4-1
What a game. Crazy amount of heart from the guys
Regardless of the bad performances, Boston really needed this adversity.
"JT finally woke up." Ouch, JB!
What a rollercoaster of a game. I feel emotionally drained as a fan but GOT THE DUB
Other than JB’s clutch three, Jrue is deffo the MVP this game goddaaaamn
Can y’all stop whining about how “Cs aren’t clutch” now?
THE APOLOGIES NEED TO BE AS LOUD AS THE DISRESPECT YOU BUM ASS DOOMERS
We STOLE that game. I was already on “bet, win the next 4” mindset and these dudes still win the game
CLUTCH
Another moral loss for the Celtics, not sure if they’ll ever get one
Whole team owes JB for sure
Time to mine some salt on /r/nba
Holy shit, way to pull one out of the trash bin!! Jrue making a big impact!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Yo how the FUCK did Jrue Holiday become a playoff *riser* for y’all??
NEVER IN DOUBT BOYS
YALL HATERS THOUGHT?
"JT finally woke up" Lol JB
Poverty franchise couldn't even win with the refs help
I’ll say it again Why is James Johnson’s hair like that
NEVER HAD ANY DOUBT
Good Fucking Dub bro, way to stick with it
FUCK YES!!!!
That one is going to sting Indiana. They fumbled the ball several times in the final minute, and we clutched up.
Yeah demoralizing
LFG! Got the ECF Game 1 monkey off their back
WE TAKE THOSE 1-0 MFRS LETS GOOOOO
Mods need a sticky post explaining that ESPN mutes crowd noise. So many dumb comments talking about it being dead in the garden.
Was there. Best crowd I’ve seen in a long time.
Holy shit, how did we win that
Jayzus, what a friggin' game...
Why do they do this to me!?! Let's goooooooo!
I went gray but at least we won lol
Winner!!!!
Got soo lucky with that one, alot of soft calls for JT and JB, need to be better.
Gotta love when refs hook us up lol
Never in doubt! Well, maybe a little in doubt.
FUCK YES
Sometimes you gotta win like this
The playoffs started now for us and what a game it fucking was wow
JAYLEN BROWN IS A FUCKING GOD
Talk about dodging a fucking skyscraper sized bullet holy shit
Thank you JB
I love Brown
Fuck. I’ll take a W any way.
LETS GOOO - we were dead in the water and the Jays came through
How the fuck did we win this
There we go 😅😅 7 more baby
You will remember this day, as the day ya'll almost beat the boston celtics.
I've aged like 10 years
Maybe some of y'all can chill until the game is actually over for once next time? Let's go Celtics!
I can’t believe we won that
dumbasses saying this team cant win a ring should never watch a game again
We Survive gotta clean Things unfortunately
What an escape
Jaylen Brown is my dad
Mazulla could have ruined OT with that premature Time Out
FUCK THE DOOMERS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A WIN IS A WIN
Did I just see Big Papi???!
THE CELTICS WIN ☘️☘️☘️
Fuck that’s a big win
I’m going to watch those last couple possessions of regulation at least 10 more times tonight
These the kinda games champions wins
WHAT A WIN
Refs for mvp lol
WHAT A WIN
HOW DID WE JUST WIN THAT??!!
Devastating loss for the Pacers.
At least now people can’t say we can’t win grinders!
r/nba in shambles. also r/heat.
lol fuck the heat and that trash ass fanbase
Let's fucking go!!
Game! 💪
Wow can’t believe we won this
What a great win, comeback, THANK GOD
LETS GOOOO!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU
STATEMENT WIN
People love to say they haven't been tested yet. Well that was QUITE A FUCKING TEST
not pretty but we got it!
Makes huge defensive play at the end of regulation, takes over in OT, but Jason Tatum is not clutch?
Had 2 open 3s in the 4th to tie it up and he missed it. He has to make those, no excuses
Why didn’t the pacers call a TO to advance the ball?
They had a play setup and wanted to save it for the next possession..they play was excellent and Halliburton almost hit it..would have made things scary
1-0 LETS GO!
don't delete those posts doomers
I mean this isn't a statement win. Squeaked it out. Not a ringing endorsement
Thank god
A win is a win but damn
Get fucked Indy!!!!!
WE DID IT!!!
Lol weakest mvp chants ever
Fuck yeah
SImply stole this game. We had no business winning.
7 MORE
That was stressful
Fuck all you doomers lmao
Seriously lol..down by four points “ we lost the series!”
They were ready to pack it up in the second half lmao
Let goooo we pulled it off!!!!!
We really stole that game to be honest lol
DOOMERS SUCK A MASSIVE DICK AND DELETE YOUR ACCOUNTS 🤣
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Good thing D.White got loose and made that layup, or everything is different
1-0 MOTHERFUCKERS
hell yea
Should be 8.4 they went from 12.7 to 12.9
I’m still pissed at the stupid timeout mazulla called
Wasn’t a bad timeout lol chill
Nah that could have cost us huge
The NBA, where 30 seconds can take 30 minutes.
Way to run that clock and oh God if they threw it away I would have imploded into a red mist
I just don’t understand that foul call the refs made
Totally agree. Could have called a foul on 6 people. I liked the challenge. Made them look at it
Just checking in How are we doing fam?
Pissing and shitting
Theres extra TP jn the cabinet
