History we meet again

Young Celtics are all over the place defensively Garza gets the OREB as they run and scores it He already has 5pts and 4orebs in 4 minutes

Cenac wtf 😹

LMAO refs reviewed a play where Al Horford seemed to elbow Hugo Gonzalez and they deemed it just a common foul After that the Celtics challenged the same play looking for an offensive foul Celtics win the challenge and here are the great reactions from Hugo, Mazzulla, and Al

Yea man what the hell are we watching

NEEMIAS QUETA SPIN AND DUNK ON MARA

Plz listen to this lmaooo

Aye I don't know if Wemby uses this as a tactic often but last night it looked like he was purposefully looking away from the offensive player giving the illusion that his attention was elsewhere just to come out of nowhere and swat a shot

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE HUGO GONZALEZ In a league filled with motors his was a notch above from Day 1 Georgia has Stagger screens for his man to get to the ball but he tips it and chases the ball down + dives to save it for a layup Love this maniac

76ers double Tatum and he knows VJ will rotate to the one pass away man first Tatum skips to the other wing for a 3

I mean.. Jordan Walsh

Yo I’m just realizing the Celtics basically freelanced an elevator screen look when OKC titled the floor to Tatum leaving the other side with a 3 on 2 advantage 🛗

BAYLOR JUST GOT SGA AGAIN LMAOO

Ayo Derrick White is legit incredible Great pass getting JB the oop before the buzzer but then notices there are open Heat players on the other end Immediately hustles back and stops what would’ve been an open layup His impact needs to be studied

Yo this can actually be really important next year with the addition of Mitchell Robinson. 3s off orebs could be some of the cleanest looks our guys get especially Tatum

Watch Hugo Gonzalez

Actually showing the shooting motion is really cool

Dillon Mitchell's IQ coupled with that lightning athleticism is a very dangerous combo Look how fast he triggers when he realizes Salaun's only hope is to save the ball Then the pitch back to Uzan

Look at Hugo man

Watch Anya Live

Everyone please come watch Paul George on this sequence His defense has been crazy in this game already. His activity, defensive playmaking (3 steals), and on ball has been crazy Celtics taking the ball away and getting more easy buckets is gonna be huge

Karl-Anthony Towns saved the whole comeback. I can only respect it and shake his hand

Hugo Gonzalez just put up 16pts/5rebs/5asts/2stls in Spain's win vs Denmark I was able to tune into the second half and these are the plays I pulled. His passing was off the charts man

Joe Mazzulla is a savant After the whistle he tells Jaylen Brown a pin down is coming on the 76ers SLOB play That’s exactly what happens and JB top locks with the info he was given and it leads to an offensive foul

You are watching a master at work

2019 Celtics episode was pure cinema. Please pause and look at the things on the chalkboard 😭😭😭

Really interesting to hear more on this from Brad: Says that “At times in the past…in the biggest moments we’ve had a tendency to be stagnant. I think this group can be more versatile in those ways” *This* group

I was *really* encouraged with how the Celtics spaced/used their non shooting bigs (Queta and Robinson) in this game Boston used them in a ton of stuff like: -&gt; Rifle Action -&gt; Veer Screens -&gt; Pistol Keep Flare -&gt; Wide Action -&gt; Double Get

The San Antonio Spurs almost redeemed themselves entirely as they drew up a beauty for their last possession We saw the Miami Heat use this same play to beat the Cavs in the regular season ~ Elevator Rip But the mitts of Karl Anthony Towns saves the day

Joe Mazzulla is a master manipulator of basketball man. He sees the Nets go zone so he makes a last second sub to put Hugo Gonzalez in the game. Hugo ends up knocking down a HUGE three to tie it up. Wow.

Here is the play Queta got injured on looks like something with his ankle. Crazy that he was able to have that huge dunk right after.

Mitchell Robinson Full 2026 Playoff Defense comp Incredible isolation possessions vs top scorers, known impact as a shot blocker, and underrated movement and hands on and off the ball (98th%tile deflections + 96th%tile deflections for position)

Another classic Joe Mazzulla coaching moment Gets very upset at Neemias Queta for not getting all the way back on defense which leads to his timing being off hence the goaltend Right after he calls “Snap” (Spain Pick and Roll) to get Queta a wide open dunk

Nah Jaylen Brown really on a different level man can we be real

Here is me breaking down EVERY single offensive play by the Celtics in Game 7 YouTube wouldn't let me post it so I'm posting it here ya watch and come back to it as you please. Preciate any shares An hour of X's and O's for our final game 💔🍀

Mitchell Robinson on his ability to play in the two man game with Boston’s handlers: “I can get Tatum open. My screening just alone I think I can get a lot of guys open”

Can ya come look at Chris Cenac move

Really interesting to hear more on this from Brad: Says that “At times in the past…in the biggest moments we’ve had a tendency to be stagnant. I think this group can be more versatile in those ways” This group

I was really encouraged with how the Celtics spaced/used their non shooting bigs (Queta and Robinson) in this game Boston used them in a ton of stuff like: -> Rifle Action -> Veer Screens -> Pistol Keep Flare -> Wide Action -> Double Get
