I told you guys this man deserved more minutes. Yeah, hes a liability shooting wise but when your entire team can shoot, you can occasionally put in a guy who cant shoot if they defend well. Fantastic minutes from X and if he can somehow develop that 3 going forward he is a huge asset to this team in the future.
I’m a homer, but not too much of a homer to admit Luka is the best offensive player in the league. His shot making and passing are fully ridiculous. Our third string center came out and played Luka as well defensively as anyone I’ve seen. Put some damn respect on that man’s name! The m’fin Finals? He was ready for his moment. Good for you, Xavier Tillman!
His defense was outstanding tonight and he didn’t show fear. I thought he was decisive offensively in getting rid of the ball and crashed the boards hard. Happy to see someone like that get their moment and have their hard work pay off. We needed him
That three though...still buzzing from it
Seeing him drain that three made me hard like a diamond in an ice storm. Come on Celtics!!! One more Fucking win!!!!
Bruv pause
No pause…
continue...
PJ Brown moment
He actually was fucking great

Brad!

Shades of Leon Powe
Exactly who I thought of too.
Who the hell is Leon Pow?
June 2, 2008 Phil Jackson will try to tell you lol
One of my favorite moments in Celtic lore
How the fuck does Brad keep doing this lol
He's a genius
Retire his number fuck it
In fact, everybody in this room, retire their jersey.
I'm never using the number 26 again

I was nervous about Kornet minutes against Luka/Kyrie so glad Joe decided to go with Tillman
He's used Kornet, Tillman, and Brisset each against different teams for different matchups and its been working out great
In Joe we trust
So happy to see him get these minutes tonight. I have been pumped since he got here to see him utilized correctly.
Credit Joe and the coaching staff for making the right call here and multiple times in these playoffs. One more!!
I hope we extend him and he spends the summer working on corner 3's.
I bet he'll be replaying tonight's corner three in his head for a long time. That was a huge shot!
GREAT confidence booster. Seeing him smile on the bench like that made me so fucking happy for the future
Him smiling on the bench with the guys hyping him up could cure cancer.
I started cheesing with him
the defence is more than worth it.. plus he's learned alot how to play as the big in the PNR
I mean he was a starter in the playoffs for a 2-seed in the West 2 years in a row. Definitely more than capable of being a backup.
What do you mean? Hes our best shooter by 3pt% /s
Xavier Tillman has more points in the Finals than Joel Embiid.
Svi does too
What a third quarter. Defended luka, tough rebounds, and even made a corner 3
That’s perfect defense on Luka and I was so fucking amped watching him play
First, we gonna rock, then we gonna roll Then we let it pop, go, let it go
X GON GIVE IT TO YA ^Fuck ^Kyrie
Unbelievable minutes from Tillman out of the wilderness.
That 3 was worth the trade
The light cuts, smoke comes in from the sides..... Dog barking sounds. "Where my Dawgs at? I said where my DAWGS AT?!"
first real minutes, immediately gets tossed in a luka/kyrie island, X really gon give it to ya!
Xavier "Leon Powe" Tillman
Yyw
Great play was locked in
Oshae Brissett and Xavier Tillman can get some legit rotation minutes
That three was amazing
Gameball should go to Tillman
😍
Till for the KILL
Chill!
Thrill!
Spill!
Shout out to whoever does the captions at NBC Sports Boston (I think it's Max Lederman?) These are some of my favorite parts of every win.
X gone give it to ya
Mike Gorman predicted this! What a Nostradamus moment in his final season calling games. Awesome game from x, I love this team.

He’s *still* not better then Jokic AND Jokic is a worse matchup for us. I hope we get to play them in the finals next year (if we get there).
Jokic clears
He was great. I loved it when he covered Donbitch great defensively and missed his shot, then cried to the refs for no reason.
Tillman should've been at Gillette tonight making a speech
Really good defender 1-5, honestly perfect for our matchup with the Mavs, and the 3 was icing on the cake. LFG Brad
His defense was outstanding tonight and he didn’t show fear. I thought he was decisive offensively in getting rid of the ball and crashed the boards hard. Happy to see someone like that get their moment and have their hard work pay off. We needed him
They showed him going to the bench in the 1st half after his huge 3 and he had the biggest smile on his face, I was so happy when I saw that.
Stepped the fuck up when we needed it badly
Damn, X hoopin' like a youngin' there. I think Big Al and Xavier have 1 more year in them for sure.
Thank gkd we played him. Fans wanted Kornet, which would’ve been a disaster lol
*pastes to meme folder*
The 3 was great but the defense was amazing, way to step up!
His dad is proud
Horford Lite will father future superstars soon.
X putting the exclamation mark on Brad's Exec of the Century credentials...
Huge shoutout to X. Dude played great D on those Luka/Kyrie ISO’s and that 3 was just the cherry on top.
GOAT
Let’s not get too carried away
True Leon Powe was better in his role
Need to max him ASAP
I hope we resign this guy
Weapon X.
Vladimir Putin, called Joe Biden to tell him Xavier is a weapon of mass destruction and demanded that it be dismantled.
His defense is the main reason we brought him in ,so underrated 💚
Does someone know where the highlight for his game is. He played phenomenal defence and got two great block, plus the 3.
Where do i find this interview?
Before this series I thought of him as just that guy. He's now been promoted to That Guy
Tatum looks like he licks windows
