This is crazy behavior. It's not like the Celtics are fielding scrubs out there. They have the deepest and most talented roster by a wife margin.

This shouldn't be news to anyone.

I think he was referring to a video posted there with Luka making trick shots. Why you trying to start some **** when it isn’t there?

KP coming off the bench is another unexpected move from Joe.

Guess Joe was really messing with Celtic fans in the regular season.

This is really a different Joe we're seeing.

Joe's really all business in the playoffs.

No **** let up.
Come out like lions again moving the ball & intense 48 minute D.

Win this & Dallas is already in a must win situation!

3 more Ws = #18.

DO IT!

Ain't no one starting ****.

Because they're impulse and rage posting I missed the context of him responding to his own damn post on some dumb video of shoot around.

None of that negates that they heavily insinuated they believe in the conspiracy theory that the NBA uses magnets in the balls.

If White (2023, 2024) can maintain his 3FG% in these Finals, he will join Steph Curry (2015, 2016, 2017) and Klay Thompson (2016, 2018, 2019) as the only players who have made 50+ threes on 40%+ shooting in multiple playoff runs. No other Celtic has done it once in franchise history.

If only Klay and Steph have done it ever a and neither have played for the Celtics. Is your conclusion not redundant?

Steph and Klay have done it multiple times. No other Celtic has done it even once.

That's implied by the fact that only Steph and Klay have done it...

Edit.

Of course it is.

Cut him some slack.
IMO, HE IS OUR MOST VALUABLE POSTER!

I read it backwards anyway. I thought he meant once as back to back one time. Not once as in a singular instance.

Celtics in 5.

Celtics in 4.

But 5, 6, 7 or 27 is ok also.

Not redundant. Probably worded poorly.

There could be a list of Celtics players who have done the feat exactly once...

Pierce, 2008
R. Allen, 2010
A. Walker, 2003

But there isn't. White stands alone. And not only has he done it once (like several non-Celtics like Murray, Miller, Love, Robinson, Kyrie, JR Smith, etc.) but he's done it multiple times, something only Klay and Steph have done.

Assuming he maintains the 3FG% of course.

Anyway, Celtics in 5.

Obviously, win today & Wednesday & it is 99% over.

Game Day!

Got the off day from work tomorrow. Let’s make this 2-0. Leave them with all the pressure in Dallas when the Road Dogs come to down.

If the C's can replicate that offensive demeanor and pace they began game 1 with literally nothing else matters, that team can match up with any 8 man rotation ever.

Come out and put feet on throats, play anywhere close to 48 of that kind of ball and put 135 on them, see what nonsense we can get Jason Kidd to pull out of his ass after this one
