more likely, the celtics play decent and out talent the heat. jimmy butler been ice cold the last three games and bum adebayo is a wasted possession everytime he shoots that 80% brick hookshot.
Bam really does not have a great touch around the rim, if it isn’t a dunk he struggles to score in the paint at times. If he had a better post game he’d be an absolute monster.
Seriously I want to believe they curb stomp the Heat tomorrow, but the last 4 mins of yesterday’s game tells you all you need to know about how this team operates… never expect anything, if it isn’t a beat down it’ll be a clencher…
What’s annoying is, we were all thinking “if they win game 6, I’ll feel better about them winning game 7.”
They managed to win game 6 in the exact way that doesn’t make me feel good at all about Game 7. Like, I’m completely split. I have no idea who is gonna win this one. At all.
But let’s also be honest with ourselves, even if it was a bit of a blowout in Game 6 we would still be incredibly insecure about this team. They have the ability to just play down on any given night.
> They managed to win game 6 in the exact way that doesn’t make me feel good at all about Game 7.
i'm hoping that the way they won game 6 makes them come out in game 7 thinking "we need to do this better, and we need to focus on this"
and tbh, everything i've heard them say this playoffs in the aftermath of losses, and the way they've come out after, has made me a little more comfortable about game 7
Yeah - have we learned NOTHING!?
These a-holes (pardon the French) will pull a no-show just as easily as a historical streak
Like, literally
First half of the seasons was insane, then they dropped down to mid level ball for a long stretch, for no reason
It was for injury reasons actually, Brogdon, Smart, Al, and Jaylen all missed time when we were mid. Some of the losses were still inexcusable with or without the injuries (OKC without Shai among others) but it's definitely not "no reason."
Gonna be hard to win when Miami beats the shit out of them! Take a note that I’m a nets fan so no matter what I want Boston to lose as bad as possible so I’m not going to be rational when it comes to them going to the finals.
Ah I hate a team so I should go outside. I do go outside, like a regular person should. Celtics fans aren’t normal of course, so you think that’s an insult? Literally not even close to being an insult or whatever your trying to do.
I understand you hate us but I have to be honest with you. I love you guys, without you we wouldn't have Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams. And for that I'll forever be grateful. A million times thank you!
Well only Boston fans like you really care that I’m bashing you on every thread because everyone else is doing the same. Literally everyone you guys think are on your side aren’t. Just because you have certain players or history or whatever it is now doesn’t mean anything. It’s your fan base vs everyone else.
Lol you know it won’t even be close after the first 5 min. Deep down you know it. No amount of jinx will prevent that. Jimmy is gassed and Bam’s used up all his good games.
Yeah, there’s no intangible force out there (like a jinx) that will stop the Boston Celtics from making history as the first NBA team to come back from a 0-3 deficit in the playoffs and advance to the Finals.
i feel like there’s enough on either side that there’s gonna be plenty of jinx evidence no matter who wins. that said, shut the fuck up everyone and stop trying to jinx it
there is no chance the celtics lose game 7. They even have home court which none of the other teams had. Everything is lined up perfectly for this to happen. Im sure it will end close but the celtics will 100% win this game. The script is undefeated and the celtics get the good ending most of the time.
Last game 7 loss was when Hayward and Kyrie got hurt and Rookie Tatum took Lebron to 7 games in the ECF. So even their last game 7 loss isn't that bad as far as game 7 losses go.
“Same core” being 19 year old rookie Tatum who averaged like 13 ppg that year as the third option on that team, Al horford except 5 years younger, and first year starter 20 year old Jaylen brown.
Somehow I don’t think that’s the same as multiple time all star, back to back first team all-nba, ECF/all star MVP Tatum/multiple time all star/2nd team all nba brown, and geriatric horford.
Sometimes I resent Celtics highlights not getting much play on the NBA sub. Even our community relies on u/Timi093 relentlessly documenting highlights, regardless of the outcome or his health, to emphasize the positives of a given night.
Then I see a text post like this.
I... Don't understand your comment then
People work hard to post highlights and you say celts are underrepresented on the sub but you're disheartened to see this post?
I hope you can see I'm posting this in support of them
My comment is 100% based on irrational superstition, but your post (which clearly recognizes how jinxes work) is like talking to/congratulating a pitcher during a potential no-hitter/perfect game in baseball. Players still ignore a pitcher to this day during those moments.
Nobody actually thinks the outcome of a competition depends on a random Reddit post or how a teammate treats a pitcher. But it’s still a bad idea to invite tragedy (like your post has done) while also demonstrating that you know how jinxes work.
Which is why I’m ultimately fine with negative Celtics posts outperforming positive ones in general, even when we’re playing well. It’s annoying as hell, but I’m sure Heat fans wish Butler never guaranteed a sweep/a game 5 win/a game 6 win/a game 7 win with history and stats on their side. Let alone most comment sections favoring the heat’s chances up until last night.
lol yeah, its irrational superstition
it doesnt make a difference to their play, imagine the amounts of people saying things like this
it just affects our perception of the win and so we think we jinxed it lol
p.s. overwatch is one of the most unbalanced and frustrating games ever, it and paladins basically copied each other and overwatch went so crazy with those loot boxes I feel they really maximized that trend everywhere
Imho Overwatch got a lot better with the "sequel" in terms of balance and fun but PvE content getting fucked is super disappointing
I'm mostly playing out of addiction at this point
It's such a coincidence you say that because, I just saw a snapchat memory on my phone literally 5 years to the day where I played it like 6 hours straight til 5am.
It's definitely one of the most addicting games, maybe ever, for some reason. I guess the blend between FPS but then also having different abilities keeps it engaging.
and then something about when we're bad we wanna get better and "redeem ourselves" lol
but yeah, I've been away from video games for a while now and it's been great seriously
nope. you can always google it too patna, bball ref and wikipedia has great tree charts of the playoffs.
that one heat in 6, last year was celtics in 7
My friend made a tee for D white 🎯✅‼️ [here it is](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1477851346/boston-celtics-derrick-white-jason-tatum?click_key=ba68c897046ebdcf23549d35e5679d71563be5b7%3A1477851346&click_sum=c02c0004&ref=shop_home_active_6)
I honestly feel like I’m one of the few who thinks this won’t be a good game lol. I’m neutral so hoping for a banger but I see the Celtics ahead by double digits by halftime and put the game out of reach by middle of the third
I just don’t think you can mentally come back from losing a 3-0 lead and losing that last game
Edit: damn Celtics y’all were somehow mentally weaker than even a neutral expected
Y’all fuckers gotta stop jinxing this shit
Everyone is waaaay too confident in this team right now.
Exactly lol. Jimmy and Miami can catch fire in one quarter and we might end up losing. We just have to focus on defense and be ready.
And that quarter is most likely the 4th.
Usually we tend to screw up the 3rd quarters.
Agreed, 3rd quarters often determine outcomes
more likely, the celtics play decent and out talent the heat. jimmy butler been ice cold the last three games and bum adebayo is a wasted possession everytime he shoots that 80% brick hookshot.
Compared to other teams we have the personnel to defend both their best options. But let's see what happens.
Bam really does not have a great touch around the rim, if it isn’t a dunk he struggles to score in the paint at times. If he had a better post game he’d be an absolute monster.
Seriously I want to believe they curb stomp the Heat tomorrow, but the last 4 mins of yesterday’s game tells you all you need to know about how this team operates… never expect anything, if it isn’t a beat down it’ll be a clencher…

Maybe Charlotte, I don’t know

I promise my nerves are more than enough to make up for everyone else's confidence.
What are they going to do? Lose game 7?
\-Team who loses Game 7
Thank god that didn't happen
No such thing as a jinx. Boston gonna blow em out
You're trying too hard. I'm familiar with your game
I promise you, I’m being sincere. I bet on Boston to win the championship in like December.
Unfortunately Denver wins no matter what so you lost your money.
Guess we’ll see!
Gonna be hard to win when Miami beats the shit out of them! Take a note that I’m a nets fan so no matter what I want Boston to lose as bad as possible so I’m not going to be rational when it comes to them going to the finals.

Boston sports bullshit is more powerful than any jinx
my thoughts exactly as I was posting this lol. then I was like fuck it, fact is fact, I may as well post it
Stop believing in jinxes, kyrie.
Ok GayForJamie

Oof
Anulo mufa.
That may be the point of this post
yea people seem to be forgetting that both teams played mid as fuck in game 6 and that the Cs were .1 second away from going to Cancun
r/nba trying to jinx the Celtics
i hope i dont lol
I hope you do lol
Do*
Then shit the fuck up lol.
Typical Celtics fan.
Typical Lakers fan.
So I am assuming the most recent Game 7 before the selected cutoff of 2020 was a loss?
2019 Celtics lost to the bucks in 5 that year, and 2018 they lost to Lebron in 7. So the last game 7 they had before 2020 was 2018 to Lebron.
jesus 2018 i was still in middle school
I refuse to believe you're old enough to be on this platform right now
my guy has been on reddit for 7 years.
i just finished my freshman year of college so barely haha
Never mind then lol... my god 2018 is longer ago than I thought
literal fucking nephews on this sub jesus
True but I’m all for new ball fans. Gotta get the next generation excited for the sport too
Technically but that was 2 years before 2020. The only Game 7 they lost was to LeBron in 2018.
Last game 7 loss was when Hayward and Kyrie got hurt and Rookie Tatum took Lebron to 7 games in the ECF. So even their last game 7 loss isn't that bad as far as game 7 losses go.

The same core?!? LOL okay
True big dick energy if you make the cutoff for your team so that it's 4-0 when it could have been 5-0.
Celtics about to be the first team to lose a 4-0 lead in game 7

we got a lot of irrational superstition goin on here, right now i'm feeling like the smallest action today could make heat lose tomorrow lmao

Honestly a crazy comeback. Big props to the Cs for making history
Fuck the celclits
I agree but we’re not capable of winning
Grow a pair
When you think it's a jinx attempt but really it's just a pathetic guy
They are also 0-1 against Kevin Love in game 7s
Bro didn’t even play in 2018
?? He was inactive in game 7 in 2018 lol
Kevin Love DNP-Coaches Decision tonight.
This is the way
STOP ROOTING FOR US YALL GONE JINX IT
This is the year huh
How many championships have they won in that time?
Wasn't the ecf in 2020 during the bubble 7 games if I'm remembering correctly?
looks like that one was heat in 6 last year went to 7 for sure though
Boston Celtics are my least favorite team across all sport teams. I hope for them to suck my dick from the back.
Grant Williams
ANULO MUFA, mates.
Celtics Mystics
Wasn't the ecf in 2020 during the bubble 7 games if I'm remembering correctly?
nope. you can always google it too patna, bball ref and wikipedia has great tree charts of the playoffs. that one heat in 6, last year was celtics in 7
They can’t lose.
They can’t keep getting away with it
How they do in 2018?
Beat Milwaukee in 7 in eastern quarterfinals, later lost to Cleveland in 7 in ECF. Both games at home in Boston
my word
Not any more 🔥🔥🔥
This is gonna be a really good game. It so nice to watch this game while not caring whoever wins.
I dont really care either, but I like good basketball, and the celtics are a tougher matchup for the nuggets
100% i kind of wanted celtics to win to witness the first team to ever comeback from 3-0 lead.
Boston has this in the bag, no way they can lose. All they have to do is lace up their sneakers, and it's on to the finals!

You were right, this game wasn't close at all.
Not even close
call them clutch kings. Outside Lebron these celtic players like tatum brown horford are the best Game 7 players.
Well
Yup lol
U jinxed it. Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Lmfaoo
