Oh shocker Jaylen’s other biggest fan can’t help himself lol

oh shocker Jaylenstans ignore facts


I'm one and I'm not ignoring anything. I just don't agree with your assessments.

BK is at least consistent, he talks crap about JB even during the good times. At least he never hides away when JB plays well, I can't say that about Jaylen Brown haters. He's not going to pretend just because a player plays well. He doesn't mince words, he doesn't like the dude, and he isn't gonna come out of the woodwork to pretend like it isn't what it is. Read the couched comments from other people who have years of negative comments about JB, and see what they say when he plays well, that isn't BK.

They lost this game as early as the 2nd quarter
They did, but throughout the season we have been solid up until half time. Our third quarters are horrible. To allow a 0-20 run when behind by 12 and a win was still possible is atrocious.

You can be denial all you want, but it's not a secret that Celtic fans expected more than one championship from KG.

So we're just going to forget how Gasol got 18 rebounds in that Game 7 and KG just got 3 rebounds in 38 minutes?

I've been a Celtic fan for more than 30 years and I can remember that when the Cs got KG in the summer of 2007, Celtic fans were expecting more than 1 championship from that KG, Pierce, and Ray trio.

Just pull Tatum and Brown from the all star game. They don't deserve it.

Yeah man, a 34 year old, 15 year pro coming off a major knee injury not being the same player he was in his prime is an "excuse" lmao

What is even your point here? The 2008 Celtics had a top 3 MVP candidate AND the DPOY in one player. This team does not. The 2008 team had an one of the top 20-25 players of all time in his prime. What does his performance when he was past his prime two years later even have to do with this discussion.

The point is the Big 3 of 2008 were all in their prime and playing the best basketball of their careers.

This Celtics Big 3 now are still very young.

What were KG and Pierce doing when they were 25-26 years old?

Only fair to judge them when the Jays and KP also reach 30.

This bunch wins multiple titles and you will forget we had this discussion.

It's just too early to say the 2008 Big 3 is better.

JT is just 25 years old and he already has 2 1st team All-NBA selections.

Paul Pierce never made All-NBA 1st team, not even once.

Celtics don’t have championship players.

Yes we do. This is more about the clippers being well prepared and knowing what the Celtics want to do and Joe making 0 adjustments.


Get real. Not even prime phil can make these guys be what they are. They have choked before under a different coach.
