First time we’re playing a game for the title since 2010. These moments don’t come along often, cherish it. This team is awesome

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/every-sweep-in-nba-finals-history-boston-celtics-could-become-10th-team-with-perfect-finale/

Celtics have a shot at a sweeping Dallas for only 10th time in NBA finals history. The question I have is should there be an asterisk next to it if it happens? Does Dallas deserve to be considered swept like the other 9 teams given that Boston was missing one of its top 3 stars?
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Man I’m getting goosebumps. After the Heat series last year, I wondered if the Jays will ever win after so many heart breaks. They’ve been so close since day 1. And now we’re finally 1 win away from seeing the kids we drafted to be on the verge of going down as Boston legends with their jerseys retired.

I want this title so bad, after 2010, 2012, 2022, and 2023 this were some tough years to lose. Honestly if we win the championship, I’m set for life as a sports fan lmao, I wanted to see our guys win just once more, everything else will be gravy for me and all the stress and nerves won’t even come close moving forward just like the glorious Brady days in New England.

1 win away from having the most championships again!!!! Lets **** goooooooooooo

Get up by 20. Then, at the end of the fourth quarter, bring KP in for two minutes.

Jobs not done yet?! keep that team defense going and it's ovaaaaaaaaaaaa..... Holding a team under 100 pts, three NBA Finals games in a row, is insane! Luka and CO. are ready to fold, don't give them any hope.

No team has gone undefeated on the road since postseason format was changed to 7-7-7-7.
No team has swept the conference finals and Finals in the same season.
No team has gone 22-7 or better on the road in 3-postseason span.
No team has scored at least 100 pts and held opponent under 100 pts in 4 straight Finals games.
No Celtics team has swept in the Finals since 1959.
No coach age 36 or under has won 80% of their games (incl. playoffs).

Cs can make history here.

Just finish it on Friday and let's celebrate!
Good assessment:

This is a wrap. Kyrie isn’t going to even put up a fight on Friday. He’s not flying back to Boston to hear the crowd tell him he sucks. And Luka is going to give up because he’s going to pout about Jason Kidd calling him out for his lack of defense. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went full Kobe and barely attempted any shots (game 7 vs the Suns in 2006, second half) since Kidd thinks he should be finding a way to rest on offence.

Let’s make it 14 straight L’s since stomping on Lucky to put Kyrie out of his misery.
