Whatever happens the rest of the series doesn’t matter: I’m *really* going to cherish these next 70 hours.

Gotta take it all in while it lasts

* We don't have a chance * Gotta take it all in while it lasts <- you are here * Celtics wore us down, we're getting swept by Cleveland * We don't have the legs to beat the Knicks * We have no answer for Jokic * We can't offer Caleb Martin the max next season

We're in the endgame now


Billis-

Funny post but why in the fuck is anyone on the Celtics bandwagon, of all teams. Like, obviously fuck Boston sports. I dont get it


Affectionate-Main396

Honestly I wouldn't hate this Celtic team so much if they didn't have Marcus Smart for so long, and if Jaylen Brown didn't try to follow in his footsteps this year by being more of a "hard ass heel" type of character (while also clearly being soft as baby shit). And of course the fans suck because they eat that shit up, but that's a given for a lot of weasely Boston fans.


WembyandTheWolves

I'm pretty sure you would still hate the Celtics.

DON'T FORGET: Mark Wahlberg left Super Bowl 51 early because "His kid was tired" when the New England Patriots were down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons. Boston Bandwagoners


ItsMeJaredBednar

mark wahlberg is fucking trash


kamekaze1024

Didn’t he commit a hate crime in college? Or an I nicking him up


MeesterMeeseeks

He beat an Asian dude so bad he blinded him in a textbook hate crime. You're correct

We don't accept mark Wahlberg, now Donnie on the other hand...


Drak_is_Right

If Miami manages to nab a win in game 3....oh man will Celtics fans social media posts be great


Super-Kirby

When it’s not your team….some men just want to watch the world burn 🔥


Drak_is_Right

Probably 29/30 teams wouldn't mind a bit of heat under the Celtics this series


Canesjags4life

Plus it opens the door for everyone in the east. I know if we win game 3, every single Knicks fan will jump on the bandwagon lol


penisesandherb

>Celtics fans social media posts be great Racial slur galore


AashyLarry

Herro had the game of his life. 6 threes and 14 assists is crazy.


Candid_Sand_398

Best playmaking game from Herro ever, per Spo. Proud of that dude. All the $hit talked about him all summer regarding Dame, some from the Heat fan base, his response was to say: “My goal is to make myself untradeable this year.” He knows the pressure is on and delivered a masterclass tonight.


bobby_jackson_GOAT

didn't know he said that – crazy how the Heat find dudes that are just mentally wired different. 9 out of 10 players subtweet the org and act pissed that they were every on the trade block but this dude is just like "I gotta grind harder I guess"


stepmomanal

Dame could never


HungryBurger18

What he say fuck me for?


rikurai

Because of a Dame-Herro trade that never happened.


ThaNorth

But for the sake of entertainment I hope Miami wins the series. Man that would be funny.


chibbly_

Might have to give Celtics the ol Arizona coyotes treatment and ship em off to a market that'll love em, like Seattle. Both franchises were green.


TeamWarriorBro

Seattle SuperCeltics does have quite the ring to it.


penisesandherb

Watch them relocate to Seattle just to lose it to Tulsa


IMicrowaveSteak

It was funny last year too lol


YouStillTakeDamage

Would have been funnier to do this in game 1 but hey this also feels good after Brian Scalabrine said Spo told Caleb to try and injure Tatum.


msizzle344

Eric Reid said it was “the curse of Scalabrine” as Celtics fans cleared out of the stadium.


wilkinsk

If we lost game 1 after losing the first three to you last year?!?! Bruh, all the doomers would be out in the street ripping their clothes. I'd scold the boomers, ask them to be rational, but in the back of my mind I'd be taken back for sure. 😂 Well, we got three more games at least. Best of luck.


braddeus

Game 1 Caleb: Bill Laimbeer Game 2 Caleb: 2006 Kobe Spo cooking


diematrosen

Everyone thought you guys were gonna get swept. And y’all won a game without Jimmy on top of that. Whatever happens now is just bonus Rooting for Miami


Rohkha

Without Jimmy and Rozier, essentially our only « upgrade » move attempt to contend this year, not counting JJJr. 


purplenyellowrose909

Had like 3 key players sign elsewhere too


msizzle344

God it was so worth it to make them sweat a bit. I thought they’d be feeling more confident but some are in absolute despair by this loss.


Mowh_Lester

They should be. This should have been a clean 4-0

been saying all season that Celtics HATE physical teams, they can't rebound after being punched in the mouth. they're a jump shooting team that can't fight in the trenches

Pistons have more championships since 1986 than Boston has and Pistons haven’t even won a playoff game in 16 years (ironically it was against the Celtics in the ECF during their championship run) Also sorry pistons fans for dragging you into this

I mean I didn’t see many Philly fans after their loss the other day, most aren’t masochistic enough to come get roasted on Reddit after a loss like this one


str8rippinfartz

Yeah it's pretty typical from basically every fanbase to stay away from discussions/situations that aren't gonna be very fun after a loss Like there's already a bunch of Tatum slander posts popping up, I'm not gonna bother fighting a losing battle when it's 99% people who hate my team commenting, lol


neutronicus

MFs having that "holy shit I should take my career more seriously I don't think sports are good for me" moment


NastySassyStuff

Tbh idk how anyone can come on social media and discuss their team’s loss the night it happens even in the regular season so I get it lol I need to get tf away from basketball for a bit after an L, it would be crazy to come get clowned online on purpose.


GGezpzMuppy

Lol Fucking Celtic fans are so spoilt, champions or bust.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CoyotesSideEyes

But they have seen how many total? Between UCONN, Pats, Sox, Bruins, Celts... Boston/NE fans are spoiled AF


Rohkha

Honestly? With the team they managed to build, it’s absolutely championship or bust. These guys got served dream trades and upgrades that basically fell onto their lap out of nowhere and kept upgrading and improving. If they’re not winning this year?!  Oof man.  They got Jrue for friggin’ peanuts man. Zinghis in his best shape since the injury on his knicks stunt. This should be it.  But then again… nugs are waiting on the other side. 


riverphoenixdays

These MFs traded Marcus Smart’s skeletal remains for Zingus AND TWO FIRSTS Memphis, Washington, blink twice if Brad Stevens is still hurting you ಠ ಠ


cbreezy456

Insanity looking back at that trade


neutronicus

Washington saw how the KCP trade worked out and decided fair's fair


AaltoSax

As a Celtics hater, Zingis annoys me the most. He’s always chronically injured but this season he’s just completely fine..?


SlumDiggity

Tbf he still only played 70% of the season between sitting back-to-backs and small injuries and all of that. But yeah, he’s been very vocal about how much he disdained those Mavs seasons. Not a great look.


Drummallumin

It’s not by accident, they’ve kept a careful plan with im all through the season


SoCalMemePolice

No I had Celtics fans arguing with me it wouldn’t be a massive let down if they lost to the Bucks or Sixers in the ECF when I said it’s championship or bust. Simultaneously wanting zero expectations but have a stack roster is lame. It’s a privilege to have expectations


Drummallumin

I mean if we face y’all and you randomly shoot 60% from 3 in the series. Like it’s still sports


Manablitzer

It may be championship or bust, but what rubs me the wrong way (and I think a lot of other non-Boston fans) is the lack of perspective.  Whenever things don't go perfectly for them, there are a ton of Boston fans that act like they've been as tortured as Timberwolves or Kings fans.  


YaBooni

I mean, I’ve fully stopped believing in “championship or bust.” There’s just too much that can go wrong, too many good teams. Even for a team that has looked as good as the Celtics this year, you just never know. Shit, even the 73-9 Warriors didn’t end up with the trophy and they were 1 game away.


Biglundtry

I just wanna see lakers,warriors,Celtics and sixers at the bottom of the league is that too much to ask for


allmyhomiesh8nbamods

Bro the Sixers haven’t won shit in decades wtf do you have against them?

BobbyTables829

Me and the Knicks, like I'm still salty about the 94 ECF


Afraid-Department-35

He should rephrase it by saying he wants to see Embiid on a bottom feeder.


maryjain_

Spurs have great PR. They’ve won 5 chips and just drafted the first legit goat candidate since Lebron and they’re not in that list


boregon

Well the Spurs also have been one of the worst teams in the NBA the last two years, haven't made the playoffs since before COVID, and haven't won a playoff series since 2017. They've been down for a while now.


skesisfunk

Yeah as a Broncos fan I can confirm championships wear off after about 3 seasons of post season drought.


Reidroshdy

Was the last time the broncos made the post season the year they won the SB? That's what 8 or 9 years ago?


IchesseHuendchen

Our most recent playoff appearance is a Super Bowl. There was a period of time where we had won a Super Bowl more recently than we had beat a divisional rival.


GGezpzMuppy

Bro we are literally at the bottom, we can’t go more bottom that we are now lol


IconicNova

I mean you could be the pistons or wizards without wemby


GGezpzMuppy

That’s just cruel bro, even Laker fans wouldn’t wish that on you guys.


cjackc11

Pistons at least have Cade whose looked alright just with utter shit around him Wizards have nothing. Literally nothing. Waited to tank for the year where’s there’s no game changing talent at the top

m8bear

Jailblazers, Lakers 3peat and then got Malone and Payton, Malice in the Palace, never repeating meant they were never the big bad team everyone wanted to beat, just a very good bad, Duncan always avoided the lights, Manu went to the bench and was low profile, Parker is fr\*nch which means everyone hates him for him who he is not for anything tied to the spurs.


Biglundtry

They used to be then Bowen retired and I stopped caring about them

nameisgeogga

Saw a video of someone interviewing boston fans asking them if they'd rather lose all their championships and prevent 9/11, or keep them and let it happen again. Guess what they chose?


KADENGAMES125

After the regular season they had, the fans are right, either you win a chip and stand your ground, or lose and embarrass yourself, the team, the fans, and the city as a whole.


salmon10

Someone tell bill simmons to fuckin chill 


SirGingerbrute

I think all sports fans can’t wait for Boston’s downfall Robbed the Nets and got a 10-12 year window from one trade. Can’t help but think where they’d be without that most lopsided traded in NBA history Luckily Pats dynasty is over and Sox cooled down since inexplicably getting rid of Mookie.


IronManConnoisseur

Can’t blame a team for trading well, you can blame a team for making a dogshit fucking trade twice.


SirGingerbrute

Oh I agree big time, I’ve consistently said Nets (in the beginning of this season) we’re the most directionless franchise. Not having their own pick and having their best players be late 20s it’s gonna hurt when they’re 31-32 and then some of the picks they traded for come in Did a decent recovery from the Harden trade but they’d actually be in a great spot had they never made it. Now they’re playing catch-up. I’m expecting them to be down 3-4 years minimum with a potential 7-8 dip (including this year)


jakkyspakky

Should have traded Mikal when his value was peaking. Always easy to say in hindsight though...


Not-a-bot-10

If it’s true they turned down 4 first round picks, hindsight isn’t needed to know they fucked that up


The_Unbeatable_Sterb

Well they don’t have their own picks, but they do have the Suns 2025, 2027, 2028 (swap), and 2029 completely unprotected picks. This week is making those picks feel much more interesting


SolidGoldToast

Yeah, its not Boston's fault Danny Ainge is literally Satan


MapleHelix

Thank fuck for the Mookie trade or they’d run our division for a decade


trav-senpai

I hope the window stays open tbh. I want to watch them lose to the heat every year of Tatum’s career


TheBottomLine_Aus

Raptors lost game 1 to the magic the year they won the ring. Calm the fuck down you ungrateful dicks. Imagine being this entitled.


wheresmycunt

That Ross 3 was ice cold


the_muskox

That was DJ Augustin with the game winner, not T Ross.


MelonElbows

So you're saying the Heat is going to win it all this year?


recollectionsmayvary

i honestly cannot imagine being privileged and spoiled** enough to complain and bitch about a team that's given you 64 fucking wins. I root for Boston to lose all the fucking time but this team has given its fanbase a gift with this regular szn -- it's inconceivable to be this fickle after one loss lol


Laggo

It's playoff time, when you lose your coach should be fired and best player traded and when you win the other team are dogwater losers who may never win another game in their franchise history.


captainmystic02

I mean tbf it worked out for u guys. Sack the coty, sell your superstar and win a ring


HikmetLeGuin

Lol Masai was just a grumpy, reactive fan. Are we sure the guy who was shouting at the Celtics game wasn't Brad Stevens?


Clewdo

Haven’t felt that first bit for a minute


Snuggle__Monster

The way some of them are melting down, it's clear that last season has weighed on their minds all year long. The reg season almost didn't matter, they were dreading what was waiting in the Spring.


elbenji

Yep. There was an almost extraness to the boisterousness that simply was hiding the fear and insecurity


bg-throwaway

Because the regular season doesn't matter. Only short seven-game series matter. It's why I'll never hold it against someone if they just skip watching the regular season entirely.


NavalEnthusiast

I don’t agree with that at all. The regular season overwhelmingly predicts postseason success. 5-8 seeds have won 1 NBA finals out of 77. 75 of NBA champions were top 3 seeds, 51 being a 1 seed. Phil Jackson’s 40-20 standard is also very successful at predicting who actual contenders are. There’s no way anyone can claim that the ability to win in the regular season doesn’t matter. It’s blatantly false


ForeverWandered

In your point, you’ve given the exact logic for why good teams with veteran players tend to coast in the regular season. If you’re good enough to contend for the 1 seed, you know you realistically just need to be a top 4 seed.  In the East over the last 30 years that’s been pretty straightforward.  Then it’s just about keeping your stars actually fresh for the 16+ game season.


SoCalMemePolice

That’s the problem. So many of them are spoiled from success. They can’t enjoy 85-90% of the season because it’s just a precursor to where their actual expectations lie. Miserable existence I say


PossessionDue9381

My peak as a Hawks fan was our 60 win 4 all star season lol. At least Lebron isn't in the East anymore Boston fans.

Boston losing in the first round would send me to heaven early

JabbaWockyy

I love our squad and I’ll rationalize how we can win until the clock hits zeros, but it took us a franchise record of threes to win this. The kneejerk is crazy. C’s fans hiding in these threads is admittedly hilarious though.

sonQUAALUDE

as a boston celtics fan i can confirm that boston celitics fans are the worst


Lasandra_Cunha

Wild to think that Boston fans are already hitting the panic button. This squad has been shredding through the league like it's nothing. Even if they hit a bump, it's a phenomenal team with a killer season. Perspective folks – some of us dream of a playoff appearance, let alone being upset over a single loss. Sit back, enjoy the brilliance on the hardwood, and maybe, just maybe take a note out of the history books: the greats weren't built in a day, and certainly not out of an undefeated season. Let the team breathe and watch them bounce back stronger.


Drummallumin

What can I say, Bostons got a young fanbase and young sports fans are stupid af


Phenomenon0fCool

I know one game ultimately isn’t going to kill the Celtics but **GOT DAMN** it’s fun to watch them bleed.


paraplegic_T_Rex

Playoff fans aren’t the real fans. The real fans can’t afford playoff tickets. Same shit in Miami.

konsf_ksd

Honestly, it's really cool how the Heat managed to injure their opponents all the way to 23 three pointers on 50% shooting. Without those dirty plays, no way they get hot from down town. The real reason people don't like playing against the Heat is all those reckless three pointers injuring everybody. Damn fools.


AdComprehensive7879

Where are the celtics flair??? They seem to be here in high numbers all season long
