I'm not a Celtics fan but I love that they are boring and professional with a distinct lack of drama around them. That's probably a huge part of why they've been so successful. They're actually focused on what matters and not being distracted by lame stuff that doesn't. And who cares about finals MVP? It's the championship that matters. Not individual accolades.

NBA is not the same anymore. Why can’t we appreciate each player for what they bring to the game instead of always trying to find lame narratives for clickbait. I feel for Tatum, he is getting unfair hate, SERIOUSLY people this is not fun anymore. It just shows envy, insecurity and pure hates from a lot of y’all.

No injuries compromised Minnesota vs Denver or any of the series the Mavs won on the way to the finals or the Mavs in the finals. Knicks got hit the hardest, but we’re up 3-1 when Indiana got a long buzzer beater to begin their way back. Minus Halliburton Indiana had three winnable games that the C’s took from them. Plenty of great basketball across all those series.

NBA media are the only people pushing Tatum being a Top 5 Player and fans got to witness that he is not that guy during these finals just like he wasn’t in previous finals series. NBA Media anointed Tatum way too early as “The Guy” and instead of admitting they were wrong are now doubling down on a bad take. If Tatum was a Top 5 guy the Celtics would have won a championship already and it wouldn’t have taken them building the best starting 5 in the NBA with Holiday, White and Porzingis and Brown taking another leap.

The Bucks, 76ers and Heat were supposed to be the top contenders in the east but were all a mess. The Kinks dropped like flies to the point that the Pacers made it to the ECF. The Nuggets got beat by the Timberwolves, but that took all the gas the Wolves had and so the Mavs crushed them in the WCF.

I don't think the Celtics would have beat the Nuggets or a well rested Wolves team.
Lol. There’s absolutely no reason to think that the Celtics wouldn’t have defeated a “well rested” Wolves team. You’re making excuse after excuse.

As a single season achievement, yes. They have a case for being on the great teams in NBA history. The only thing to hold against them is opponent strength in the playoffs. But they demolished everybody put in front them. In the 21st century I will have the following teams ahead of them (Not in any particular order) 1. 2000-2001 Lakers 2. 2015-2016 Warriors (Didn't win a ring) 3. 2016-2017 Warriors 4. 2022-2023 Nuggets 5. 2013-2014 Spurs (Just for the playoffs) 6. 2011-2012 Miami Heat 7. 2007-2008 Celtics 8. 2003-2004 Pistons
Okay, so the 2013 Heat were better than the 2012 Heat, the 2018 Warriors should probably be on your list, the 2023 Nuggets weren’t nearly as good as you seem to think they were and the 2024 Celtics were absolutely better than the 2008 Celtics and 2004 Pistons.
Wrong. Not an all-time great team....
Username checks out for this opinion.
People gotta pick a narrative 80-21. Either the Celtics earned those, or the rest of the league rolled over and handed it to them. Either this is a historically great Celtics team, or we’re living through a historically weak period in the NBA.
Fuck Boston
Fuck Boston
He will go top 10. Might sound wild but the Hornets will take him at 6. Book it.
If they had Killian Hayes yes. It would put them above every team ever assembled.
after every championship people start treating the champions as an all-time team. Last year it was Denver, now Boston. Neither are anywhere close to an all-time great team (not yet at least).
80-21 bruh
I mean all time celtics team is fair...but they did have an easy path and a weak bench
It’s great that you feel confident in your arbitrary take on what is or is not historic in a team. As the man said, the numbers are the numbers.
“It doesn’t quite feel right” because you NBA media flunkees are terrible at your jobs.
It’s great that the Ringer NBA staff acknowledges the Celtics’ greatness *AFTER* they win the chip. Way to keep your eye on the ball there! LOL

Boston fans complaining? Even after winning? Say it ain't so?!?!
Man be real you was definitely hating.
