Re: CELTICS WHACK THE DON, BECOME NBA CHAMPIONS!! NBA FINALS G5 VICTORY CIGAR VS DAL 4/17/24 (BOS WINS 4-1!)
I am incredibly happy, this is the 2nd title I've witnessed since 08 and man does this one feel better.
Being able to see Tatum and Brown grow, fail, learn and win together is something that will stay with me for a long time. Tatum's first game for the Celtics was the season opener where Hayward broke his foot. I remember the feeling of physical disgust seeing that injury, the only positive from that night was our rookie Tatum and his NBA debut, look at where we are now.
Immense joy, everything going forward is a bonus.
You could feel the relief of Tatum when he realised he'd done it. I've always felt like he gets into his own head at times and this win might unlock something scary good. I'll let ya'll figure out what that is.

Run it back!
Jokic in 2025.
SGA in 2026.
Not sure Luka can return to the finals.
Think about it, PJ Washington is their 3rd option!
Come on!

Kornet was a healthy scratch, right? I say that because he wasn't on the injury report, and he did play during Gino time.

You have been one of the most consistently positive people about this team, I think it should be noted.
You can serve out all the crow pie!

Positivity is for the weak.
Objectivity is for the real ones.
Celtics will repeat.

Told you we'd sweep 'em. Hopefully we can get some competition to test us before the finals, find out what this team is really made of.

Finally got the chance to get a longer post in (Been busy at work and it's nearing the end of day now here on the other side of the world.
I have a lot of crow that I am ever so glad to eat, particularly on the following points:
- I doubted Jayson Tatum. I constantly questioned his decision making, his toughness, and his ability to deliver especially in this game. He delivered and then some.
- I doubted Jaylen Brown, I said I thought he turned the corner after Games 1 to 3, but reverted back to his old self in Game 4. He did another 180 in Game 5.
- I doubted Derrick white. I called him out on game threads and post-game threads, and in Game 5 he showed what a Warrior he is despite getting a chipped tooth.
- And lastly, I doubted Joe Mazzulla. I have been one of Joe's biggest unbelievers in this forum. I always thought the Celtics could win a championship IN SPITE of him. This Finals showed Joe's growth as a coach, outcoaching JKidd, and even though he still had some questionable decisions in some games, he showed that he was a coach that the players can follow, and he did not let the team down.
4 servings of crow for me, that I will gladly eat because we won the BIG ONE with this squad.
LET's GO CELTICS! Do it again next year!

Same franchise.
Nobody is entirely from LA anyway. E.g., I lived there until age 14 -- but technically I was born in Chicago.
The LA Dodgers are absolutely a continuation of the Brooklyn Dodgers. So why shouldn't the LA Lakers be a continuation of the Minneapolis Lakers as well?

I wouldn't be so positive heading into the finals if it was Denver and Jokic the Celtics were facing.
Reason why I keep saying 2025 is the highest chance to win is Jrue and KP would've played one full season with the Jays and Al will still be there to provide stability and depth at the Center position.
And my positivity is not based on feeling, it's based on what I've seen in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and this decade.

Embiid saying he hates Boston is very offensive, especially the day after fathers day, dude probably didn't even call Al to wish him a happy fathers day. Terrible son for sure
