[djFan71]

Is anyone else concerned that Joe is going to have the team swim in Orca formation and attack the duck boats rather than ride in them?

That is incredible and explains why he was finals MVP. I bet Tatum is the only NBA player ever to lead his team in points, rebounds and assists not to get it. Apart from Lebron and Jokic, all the other 4 players to accomplish that feat in history were first ballot hall of famers.

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!

I got 3 more servings of crow I forgot to mention:

- To KP, who I believed would not be able to play in Game 5. He stayed true to his word and played his heart out despite his injury. Much respect.
- To Sam Hauser, who I called out for not being able to contribute the first two games of the Finals, he finally found his shot in Game 3 and was a pivotal role player with his timely baskets and good defense.
- To Payton Pritchard, who I also called out for not being able to contribute. Dude has balls the size of Jupiter. Hit two back breaking half-court heaves in games 2 and 5, with the Game 5 heave a demoralizer for the Mavs. They just never recovered after that buzzer beater.

These Celtics can only get better from here, especially the Jays, who got that monkey off their back.

HOLY S*** LMAO. I love this so much. Idk how I'm just seeing it. Hands down one of the best clips I've ever seen in my entire life. Be cocky Tatum. You've earned it.

[Bar Fight]

Next season is gonna be so fun without all the pressure/baggage of previous failures over our head. Nothing left to prove. Just stack up chips and have fun

[TheMartian]

I said they wouldn't face a elimination game all year. I've joked in the last they probably don't even get to game 6.

I was a year early but I knew there wasn't a single team that could beat them.

Find a way to keep Al fresh for next postseason and you're looking at a repeat.

Ad in continued grown from Brown and Tatum...woooo...


And for those who dont think Tatum has another gear.

He can improve his shooting off the dribble
He can add a post up
He can add a midrange floater/jumper (Like Durant or Paul)

Honestly the midrange pullup/floater would make him impossible to defend because right now he is a 2 level scorer. 3s and rimshots.

He had a good midrange game before, but fans clamored for him to move backwards and shoot threes instead. He can get that midrange back and end all this talk about SGA being better.

I still cannot get over the joy I feel right now.

Green 18 baby, Hopefully Al stays and KP is healthier next year. Great work by Brad (with an assist from Danny) in assembeling this roster, at the time some of the moves I questioned (White trade when he was bad in the 1st playoffs, If the Holliday trade was neccessary and worth it...it was) Great team effort. Run it back!

Yes and No. I have already put some thought to this, and I keep thinking Boston, who has issues with their Proverbial "turn on Switch", will have many lackluster games (especially on defense).

But that will be our challenge next season.

Congratulations! You all deserve this as fans.

Always great to get a compliment from Legendary Howard Mass.
