So I.T leads Celts to ECF, then they trade for Kyrie and it doesn’t work out and he leaves in FA… 🙂
+socalraiders facts, IT wasn’t that good
Definitely not a Reptilian He wasn’t? What series did you watch then because he performed.
+Famous Dexter’s Dad even kobe noticed Thomas’s performed.
Talent wise Celts now should be better but playing as a unit with the correct pieces is far more important…Celts still have time to fix issues b4 platoffs
+Famous Dexter’s Dad low 40%’s from the from the field volume shooter with an overwhelmingly negative impact on defense. He could get you a bucket… but ANYONE can get a bucket on him ANYTIME.. we got humiliated against Cleveland.
The franchise’s of the future (next 7 years): Sacramento, Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Denver, Clippers, & Dallas
TY brother. Including my Clips. No one gives us credit. And nice list I agree
Yup, my Mavs will have a Luka & KP duo, that will shocked the NBA. I can feel it or I’m just a delusional fan lol. Which is ok 😋
People aren’t aware of the changes going on…. the generation shift is going on. KD, Russ, Harden, Lebron, CP3, Klay, Curry generation is all right at 30 or above. In the in 2-3 years. All of them will be out of prime. While the teams I mention will be in their primes. One extra team I will add with an asterisk Phoenix depends on organization and coach. But they have talent.
To Pi they will probably screw it up because it’s Phoenix. I think a team that can surprise people is Orlando. And maybe Chicago if GarPax doesn’t GarPax themselves
+Drew Rodriguez montrezl harrell is a beast
Raptors played better then Boston simple is that ..
Not only playing better, but the celtics straight up couldn’t make shots, look at the shots taken in the video, some of them are shots hey shoulda made, it was just that kinda day. but to say now they dont make it out of the first round? thats just insane
LoL LoL As a Celtics fan, I would have to agree. I even thought the Raptors were the biggest threat to the Celtics coming into this season because they always play the Celtics tough, had the best record in the East last year and they got better by getting back a two-way version of DeRozen in Kawhi Leonard. I thought people were sleeping on the Raptors because of how pathetic they looked every time they met up with Lebron’s Cavs whereas the Celtics just seemed to a tougher matchup for the Cavs. The Raptors did look bad against those Cavs, but not against the other teams in the East!
gurmeet718 They’re always a nightmare for my Celtics, I have to admit!
Nowadays, when an nba player had a bad game media be talking about trade right away 😂
They literally go off game to game. Player could have been mvp of last month, have one bad game and “he’s past his prime” or ” time for a trade”.
Jalen Rose hairline is razor sharp geesh! Like my homeboy Nas said…. Haircut looks airbrushed.
Zen Davis it is his hair but I remember watching a video where you can see the spray shining on his lineup
+Jalen Hall You about to get 81 dropped on you by some guy called Kobe its inevitable.
+Yurhomi 24 Ok, good observational skills. Stay blessed fam. Peace
Steven a hairline doe 😂💀
Bevel blade
Kyrie is not a franchise player. He is a great player but not a leader of men.
The younger players don’t believe in him.
BigTasty ForLife because he was the same with bron
BigTasty ForLife The players don’t believe in him because they won last year on they’re own. Maybe not a championship but a hell of a lot better than they are now.
Toronto whipped Boston’s ass Kyrie only had 7 points Kyrie learned from LeBron to be passive aggressive
yea they played better simple as that, but the celtics couldn’t make warm up shots, that was just a bad day. no one could score on the celtics. 6-27 from three? that isn’t just good defense but it’s also missing good looks
I like how everybody tryna blame Kyrie for the Celtics problems like Hayward ain’t sign a 4 year 127 million dollar contract and has yet to show up😂😂😂
R’Shod Mosley damn didn’t know it was that much
Dude we going all the way .. Playoff time these top east teams won’t last .. Y’all scared of my CELTICS 💯💯
Shut the hell up nigga
Not even a top 3 team in the East
+Teddy Mark they gotta stay healthy dummy
Hahaha nigga please
You smoking that shit one kay
I’m a Celtics season ticket holder and I don’t know 1 person that wants Kyrie here…he’s made being a Celtics fan absolutely miserable and I don’t know 1 person that speaks positively about him
300bagszn Otf let me know when you’re on Cape Cod…I’ll be here
+Itsme Forsure These guys are suppose to learn from the likes of LeBron, instead, we get a spoil brat that doesn’t want to play D, blame his whole team for loses, try to get people fired, and then go on national TV to make statements saying he’s the GOAT. Seriously!!!
68Camaro RS/SS celtics were absolute shit missing everything
Die hard Celtics fan and I can’t even watch these bums anymore scrap everyone but Tatum
Oh man I can’t wait to look back at everything when the Celtics are in the Finals
Celtics ain’t goin to the finals
They wont
Ltics ain’t going no where
Yea you have to look back a few years for that my g😂
i think they will also get the the finals, regular season doesnt mean anything anymore, look at lebron this year, he going to walk into the 8th seed in the final few weeks.
KD+Kyrie+Zion Knicks 2019 we Ready
James Marrero Boston is a lottery team ?
not yet but if they get bounced in the 1st round they sure will be. Kyrie got traded there you can’t call it his team. It hast to teammates that joins him. We saw what happend before Lebron got the the cavs and joined Kyrie.
knicks will never be relevant
Knicks get Lonzo Bust
+LIBryda Tobias??
Lebron gets blames for the Celtics 😂🤦♂️
”The first words that popped into my head were LeBron James”
Of course they were, Max. Of course they were.
Man STOP bringing up Lebron!!!!!! JUST FOR ONCE TALK ABOUT WHY THE RAPTORS ARE GOOD AND BEAT YOUR BELOVED CELTICS, the disrespect is so real!!!
None of them are celtics fan tho
Rich Paul 🐍 ruined three franchises this season. Good job.
LA Clippers why’s he a snake? he’s an agent, he wants guys to be leaving and signing new contracts so he gets paid, just being good at his job.
ALP IRL because he’s Lebron’s agent first, everyone else’s second.
Celtics, lakers, and pelicans where already trash before ANTONY DAVIS demanded the trade
Tyler Canik what is that even supposed to mean😂. You’re literally just talking out of your ass and making assumptions since bron is his most popular client
Tyler Canik whos everyone else? I’m pretty sure he does what most of his clients want him to do, the other players and franchises in the league don’t matter to him, and why would they
This show needs to change there name to first Lebron
Max: “I thought, Lebron James.”
See that…that sums up espn right there..
Shuga I put that last line in a Stewie voice and it made perfect sense 😂😂
Facts 💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do you circumcise Lebron James?
kick Max Kellerman in his chin….
I literally laughed so hard I got teary-eyed 🤣
Wow!!!😆
😂 W
Without even watching the video yet, I bet someone will somehow shoehorn Lebron and the Lakers into this conversation.
Coincidentally, him and Bron are exactly what each other need. Let that sink. Life lesson.
Man…lebron knew that..
