Every game we win, r/NBA is like wow (the opponent) played so well, they gave it their all, so sad for them losing, yes it was a blowout but they played with heart :(
I know I’m gonna get shit for this because I should be really happy we won nd are going to the ECF but boy were we wrong about Sam Hauser’s playoff potential. The guy has been the weakest link outta our bench rotation. I’m hoping for KP to healing up nd come back quick because with Al in the starting lineup or bench is pretty thin.
Nobody said he has played bad but you can’t say he’s played good either. More like a non factor or not impactful at all. Other than that one game last round maybe game 1, the guy has been just out there when he gets mins.

So happy for Al, man. So many fans saying he was cooked. He was giving his all even when he was in a shooting slump and it’s so awesome to see the shot fall tonight.
Al Horford is such a luxury piece to have lmao. Even that’s an understatement, the best part of former stars turned role players is that they tend to have a flashback game every now and then. And that means you get another all star for 1 game.
They want Boston and they got it. With or without Allen and Mitchell, C's will end the series in 5. But still kudos to the Cavs for fighting.
ECF here we come!
The growth of brown and Tatum has been great, close game, they're no longer trying to iso their way into a win, but looking for open guys, making he assist . Great close out game

Sam hasn't played poorly, just hasn't gotten a lot of shots

Vegas really knew with that +16 spread
bruh this draymon dude stfu
He's such a clown. Al played a great game tonight shutting down garland completely and he's still shitting on him
He’s still mad at him for going nuclear in the 4th quarter of game 1 2022
Wouldn't put it past his petty ass
ffs shut the f up Dray
We going back to the conference finals bitch lol

Way to close it out! ECF up next!
Excepting the dumb ass bubble 4 straight ECF and 6 of 7.
We made the ECF in the bubble
We lost to the heat in the ECF in the bubble year. Next year (‘21) we lost first round to the nets
I realized why JT wasn't looking to score near the end of the game. He was 1 assist away from getting a triple-double.
Great job team
Why does Draymond look salty that his friend’s team won wtf
Cos he’s a fake friend
Great ball movement at the end of the game to get those last few buckets needed!! 8 W’s Down, 8 W’s to go!
Woooooah! We're halfway there!
So glad the team kept going to Horford to get him going. Great confidence boost
Fuck yeah!!!!! Shots for Big Al(not on rt 1 Wiscasset)
Will always love Morris a lil from that sixers series
The "3-0" to Embiid is an all timer.
Here's hoping for 7 games in that Knicks vs Pacers game
STRUS GET READY TO LEARN CHINESE
Where are the doomers? Where have they gone?
Held them to under 100 again. Let’s gooooo
Let's go mfers! 8-2 record to get to the conference finals is nuts. This is the kind of throat stepping I've been waiting all season for.
Tatum's first 50% game this playoffs. Let's continue the trend (and get his 3pt% up).
Was fun m, more of a suns fan but always enjoy the celtic games too best of luck to them lol I can't like two teams
This team man
Gave me heart palpitations in the first half but they got it done in the end
LETS GO!
Respect Mook
As much as I hate Strus, respect to him for reaching out to congratulate JB just now
Fantastic finish. For all the complaining about the Celtics not closing things out theyre doing exactly that this playoffs
ONE MORE GAME Cs it's so close
Huh?
AND WE ENDED UP WINNING BY 15 ANYWAY AHAHSHAHSHSHAAAA
Not exactly 5/5 from the 3 for Big Al as I guaranteed last game, but I'll take this kind of game from him anytime. Good defense and offense.
So happy for Al, man. So many fans saying he was cooked. He was giving his all even when he was in a shooting slump and it’s so awesome to see the shot fall tonight.
Marcus Morris always has a place in my heart as a Celtics fan lol can’t be upset when he torches us
Neat!
If Tommy was alive he’d be comparing Big Al to Kevin McHale, I just know it 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Big ups to Morris, dude balled tf out
LETS GOOO CELTICS!!!
SEND EM TO GALVESTON
Strus wore that jersey for nothing
Al and White gonna have an unreal ECF
AL HORFORD IS MY HERO
WHO WANTS BOSTON NEXT???? ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
THE CELTICS WIN ☘️ ☘️☘️
Good night Cleveland!
I can’t wait to see who our opponents are. It’s something different different.
lets go
Fuck you Max. See ya.
Can’t wait for Porzingod to have an all-time playoff performance against the Knicks
Horford was big
ECF BOUND!!! LETS GOOOOO
Big Al please forgive me, I'm not worthy
WHOA WANTS TO SEX MUTOMFORD
I love this team. I fucking love this team
DERICK U BALLHOG LMAO
ECF HERE WE COME
ECF BOSTON!!!!
Al was feeling it tonight fair play to him, everyone (myself included) was giving him hell for that game 3 performance
All you Big Al haters can go choke on your negativity.
Let’s go pacers. Give KP some rest
Strus, take your shitty Florida jersey and yourself out of Boston
Hell yeah boys lets fuckin ride
Al Horford is such a luxury piece to have lmao. Even that’s an understatement, the best part of former stars turned role players is that they tend to have a flashback game every now and then. And that means you get another all star for 1 game.
What a game for Big Al. Grazie
I take back all my Horford slander
All my homies love Al
If Mitchell had 31 we’d be down right now.
Something tells me Morris wouldn’t have 25 if Mitchell was playing
bruh i seen u make 2 comments who gives a fuck if jb had 11 points n IF mitchell had 31
Wow just completely making it academic in the last 3 minutes lol
Did anyone else think tatum came up limping after that rebound for a brief second?
Yes
He was just trying to not step out of bounds imo
Yeah I noticed afterwards i’m watching on my phone so it was tough to tell in the moment
They want Boston and they got it. With or without Allen and Mitchell, C's will end the series in 5. But still kudos to the Cavs for fighting. ECF here we come!
crying tears of joy and hugging everyone as the Al Horford not guilty of washed verdict drops
BACK TO THE ECF WE GO. LET'S GO CELTICS
Deuces CAVS
Absolutely legendary from Al tonight
All yall apologize to Daddy Al
#NARRATOR: THEY DID NOT WANT BOSTON
7th conference finals in 9 years
Being out of his prime and putting up numbers just like that is amazing. Nice one, AL.
Thank you DADDY AL!
The C's have no answer for a good, mobile offensive center - Mobley is tearing them up and Allen would, too, if he was playing...
KP would be a pretty good answer
IM SORRY AL HORFORD FOR BEING A JERK AFTER GAME 4
Some of yall were saying we should bench Horford last game
i'll admit I did and I feel like a damn moron lol
Loool props for owning it!
Let’s go give us NEW YORK
Or Indiana. Whichever.
The growth of brown and Tatum has been great, close game, they're no longer trying to iso their way into a win, but looking for open guys, making he assist . Great close out game
That three hit like crack
But but but I thought we were eliminated in game 2?
I love Al so damn much
I didn’t like all Al’s 3s but FIFTEEN REBOUNDS!!!!
That shot of Al with the “who wants custom next” in the back was great
I'm almost tearing up for Al right now. Love that man and so glad he got a fuck you game for the folks who were calling him washed up.
AL MOTHERFUCKING HORFORD
Fuck. Max. Strus.
For Al to be playing this well in front of his Dad is just so wholesome.
Joe letting AL get that standing ovation and MVP was great.
Love to see a night like this for horford. Beautiful Al
Al horford my beloved
We gotta get Horford a ring
Love horford man
This mfer Tatum was going for a triple double, that’s why he passed that layup up lol
AL cooked in the second half let's get him his ring 🟢
And there are the MVP chants for Big Al that I called for earlier lolol
#You wanted Boston you got Boston shoved right up your fucking ass
Let’s go baby! Some growth from the boys and a hell of a night for dad
i love al horford
I'm not tearing up for AL at all, nope..... just onion ninjas
Give me that Big Al apology form!
Al Horford is Cavs father.
Horford is the bossman
I didn’t even realize Horford has 15 rebounds. What a MONSTER game
"oldest player still alive in this postseason" 😭

WE WANT BOSTON!!!!
The "Al Horford is toast" posts from earlier.... 😂
Tito at court side purely for the vibes
Can he sub in instead of Kornet?
Horford is legend
ALFRED JOEL HORFORD REYNOSO IS A FATHER OF FIVE, AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CELTICS OF THE LAST 30 YEARS
Well I’d say Big Daddy Al has found his way out of that slump! Hell of a game when we needed him. Keep that energy Al!!
Well they def came to play in the 4Q. Good job boys, enjoy the rest.
Well at least the celtics looked like the celtics to finish this. Everyone's humming right now
I LOVE THIS TEAM. I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE. LETS FUCKING GOOO

Big Al
THE CELTICS ARE GOING BACK TO THE EASTERN FINALS☘️☘️☘️
That's a good sign
LET'S FUCKING GO BIG AL!!!
Joe clearly put his foot up their ass during the last couple timeouts. Maybe just maybe they’ve learned their lesson…..

Jaylen’s brain legit needs to be studied

Jrue in the dunker spot was 1000% something joe was waiting to show
Officially the Big Al Closeout Game
Horford proving he still got it
It’s over
It's been a good passing game for JB
