They have a best record in nba and after tonight Denver is trailing by one. When all healty Boston is probably the best team in the league,I agree with that. But best player in the league!? I like Him but tonight he shooted 9/27 with 7 TO…Joker did not have a nights like that this season. Don’t disrespect b2b2b mvp.

shooting is not everything, homeboy. Tatum did everything else
Crnjak
January 20, 2023 at 9:18 pm
@12branko12
So did Jokic…..night after night. He could easily average 30+ points if he just take number of shots that other superstar takes. Tatum is curently top 5,maybe top 3 player in the league…no doubt it. I love watchin Celtics and Tatum…they are deepest team in nba. But SAS is Jokic hater and always finding reasons for his mvp case.

@Crnjak I told you alraedy I do think that Jokic is better player and, imo, deserves the MVP. I just don’t like how Tatum’s underappreciated considering the other top candidates (I am talking mostly about fans). And SAS is typical SAS, he should not surprise you. The guy will never support a foreign player.
Shoot It Up !

If you watched the game Tatum played bad tbh. And I’m a Celtics fan. His stat line is good but he nearly costed us the game. He turned the ball over 3 times in the last minute of the 4th quarter. JB saved us with that tying 3

So did Curry our defense stepped up on curry if u noticed all his shots we’re definitely hard that’s why he couldn’t really do anything
MJS FAM
January 20, 2023 at 5:50 pm
And also we have to remember Brown just coming back after a week and he was rusty if brown played like his old self last night We win that game in Regulation

@MJS FAM Horford… he was the key once again! I believe he hit a 3 before JB did to bring them closer and switched on to Curry… it’s funny cuz Curry could’ve punished him but instead settled! Good game but I think both teams are still Flawed! Warriors are a shell of themselves… Boston should’ve smoked them and I’m a Warriors fan!

Warriors are .500 if that…. And the Celtics can barley beat them… Warriors won the 1st game against them…. Bucks are best in the east don’t be fooled because of injures.

How come every time they talk about the Celtics it’s always a Quick Take? Why can’t they get a full segment. Best record in basketball for a while now.

Much as I also want Celtics to get credit for their record it’s a bit difficult to get a 10-20 minute segment out of “yeah Celtics are the best team, roll credits” 😅

These 🤡 are ALWAYS WRONG they don’t look at anything 3-4 steps ahead they only look at the last 24 hours like the 🙉 that they are

Idk bro I dont see how you can say that Tatum is a consensus first pick for mvp qtm, while jokic is literall 0.1 assists a game off avaraging a triple double while being nr 1 in the west.

“finals rematch”!? It’s a regular season game

Over the bucks?? Denver??

January 20, 2023 at 7:34 pm
Barely keeping ahead of the Bucks who havent been close to full strength all season. Going to be interesting to see them play a healthy Bucks team.
Jim W
January 20, 2023 at 9:07 pm
@Elijah Logan the same Boston that took 7 games to beat Milwaukee without Middleton ?
Elijah Logan
January 20, 2023 at 9:13 pm
@Jim W Boston is better this year and Middleton hasn’t been the same after the injury. Also the Celtics have beaten the Bucks with Middleton before in the playoffs
Jim W
January 20, 2023 at 9:20 pm
@Elijah Logan Middleton has only played 7 games since his injury. So this powerhouse Celtics team has to goto OT to beat a team that cant buy a win on the road this season? please.
Elijah Logan
January 20, 2023 at 9:54 pm
@Jim W That’s true he’s only played a few games however his health maybe an issue for the Bucks and the Warriors are the defending champs still lol

I’ll never get why the media hates Jokic so much.

@Nasir Mills check all the outlets, jokic is talked about rarely
Nasir Mills

@Tanmay Singh they give him credit time and time again they always talking about him you gotta get off YouTube and watch the shows live

Yo get off your knees bro. Lmao. Maybe joker should win more when it counts and not be a regular season dynamo that no one expects to make the finals every year. Lmao

I don’t think he is hated, un contrary, but they just don’t talk about him as much like media would back home in Serbia. I don’t have a problem with this as I understand it’s all business for the league, news channel, sports manufacturers and Nikola just isn’t selling the product as well as some other players. Tim Duncan wasn’t talked about either, but everyone respected him. Also, IMO Jokic is an anomaly with the way he plays and some still don’t know what to make of it.

Tatum against Nets was doubled 1st 3 quarters and finished the game 29 % shooting. When he shot at basket and someone finished it, it was counted as an assist. At least 5 guys above him at mvp race. What a clown S. A. S.

nah split the finals mvp and ECF mvp between Brown and Tatum….either way works for me

January 21, 2023 at 5:37 pm
It’s because we lost the finals. We can’t be #1 for no reason we need to take it this year, give ‘em a reason to talk about us

Boston Celtics was also the best Team Last Year, when the Playoffs is over, let decide then!!! Not the best Regular Season Team, last year that was Phoenix Suns! 😂😂😂
