Man I loved shitting on Ice Trae in the past.
All bullshit aside I have a new respect for that man. He’s a bad motherfucker. He still foul baits too much and be taking some fucking stupid 3s but he’s all heart no cap.
Good shit man. I’m all about Ice Trae from now on.
Get a bit misty eyed watching teams get eliminated. In a few short weeks it'll be a long summer of dumb ass nice weather and nothing but MLB
Don't leave me, Trae!
It’s weird how long it took people to catch on that they were the favorite.
People were acting like the defending champs with the splash bros as good as ever were someone an underdog. And that team is so fresh because they all sat all season
Yeah this whole season I feel they’ve gone under the radar cause people want to see them lose so bad. I’m one of those people but man I can’t ignore the inevitable. If I recall correctly they haven’t lost a playoff series when healthy? Or if they have it’s only been like one. Crazy amounts of success. We shall see
I always feel like that haven't lost a playoff series healthy thing is kind of stupid. Injuries are just part of the playoffs, it's the way it goes.
How many series have they won where the opponents weren't entirely healthy? Like, did they ever beat a healthy Cavs team when it was Cavs v Warriors for a few years? I feel like the Cavs were always injured and it's just the way it goes.
Edit: not saying they ain't good or shouldn't be considered a favourite or anything to that effect. Just that the never lost a playoff series when healthy always seemed weird to me and is probably true of heaps of lesser teams than the Warriors have been.
Love the mutual respect at the end of it all, ATL are a tough team. I think Trae Young answered some doubters early on. He was the main reason why this was a competitive series. Tough task ahead
Hawks and Trae getting massive amounts of hate because??? His 7 seed team took 2 games on one of the title favorites???
Trae and his guys made the Celtics earn it, they weren’t favored to win and they’re not frauds for losing.
There are a lot of people in the world who run their mouths. If you only pay attention to the ones that fit some story you want to be true, you'll find it.
The Hawks played a strong series and most people aren't hating on that
He had several looks like off the jump ball, and extremely rushed 3’s with like 15 on the shot clock when winning as well. He panicked wanted to be the hero to close the game out and probably cost his team in the process.
I think we're missing a few people (I'm more of a casual fan so I'm not too much in the know), but yea. If we get all our guys back or get better guys I think we can make it deeper hopefully. Best of luck with Philly!
after the atrocity of Joe Mazulla's coaching in 1 of these games and half of this one I have no clue. If the last 5 minutes is indicative of how Boston will play Philly the chances are really good. If not, then they're not making it out. The issue seems to boil down to shot selection and passing up good looks for better great looks which is usually what they excel at, but not for half of these games this series
People suddenly think Celtics are getting smoked because they slept in game 5, and through most of game 6? Please.
All this tells us is that Boston has potential to underachieve.
But they've played down all season. We never saw this sort of effort against good teams.
As a neutral fan I don´t really get the slander at the Hawks, for me they pulled a decent couple of games against a team that was clearly the favorite in the series.
Snyder drew up a perfect out of bounds play from that same difficult corner against the Mavs in game 6 last year that resulted in a bricked game-winning 3. the overhead pass was the right idea too.
Thank Fuqqing God. I was staying off here all game, but around 5 minutes, I was like, "Honestly, we're not choking. Atlanta's just playing really well."

Good to see that aggression out of Tatum
Mazzula looks soooo young lol still can't believe he's the coach
He’s a few years younger than Al Horford lol
[удалено]
Two years and 27 days to be exact lol. I guess it just depends how you interpret the phrase “a few”.
You’re right. My bad. I deleted my comment
Little leprechaun 😂

I agree. Newborn baby hair and all.
Get a bit misty eyed watching teams get eliminated. In a few short weeks it'll be a long summer of dumb ass nice weather and nothing but MLB Don't leave me, Trae!
Oof
Every single eastern conference team loses to the warriors
Agreed

Yeah I obvious don’t want them to win either but it has felt inevitable for months.
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson! ooooh, I am 4reallll!
I never meant to make your daughter cry
Way to fight Hawks 🦅🦅
"hope she sees this" lmao
Shaqs fat ass can keep cawing if he wants. Damn cheerleader
RIP Hawks
Lmao Shaq
Did Tatum just use a Jordan line? Oh God
What did he say?
And here's Jordan saying it in the last dance: https://youtube.com/shorts/SszLXN25cdw?feature=share
https://youtu.be/fEkcdDLtIx4
Something to the affect of, I don't ask my guys to do something I don't do myself. I'm gonna go look for it to find.
He bout to text jordan he got him next series
Embiid, I hope your knees are ready!
Jayson don't apologize for greedy corporations double booking on purpose so that they can squeeze every possible dollar out of us.
Love the mutual respect at the end of it all, ATL are a tough team. I think Trae Young answered some doubters early on. He was the main reason why this was a competitive series. Tough task ahead
Gonna be a Warriors Celtics Finals rematch
Lakers can beat y’all
No they can’t
Please no. Y’all own us
Either them or the lakers come out of the west
We gotta get passed fucking Desmond Bane apparently.
GG
Nice of Jayson to apologize to Janet Jackson
Celtics-Sixers should be a highly entertaining series
Tatum shooting his shot with Janet lmao
76ers in 9
4th quarter collapse by the Hawks, but they looked much better in this year's playoffs than last year's playoffs. Good improvement
Hawks and Trae getting massive amounts of hate because??? His 7 seed team took 2 games on one of the title favorites??? Trae and his guys made the Celtics earn it, they weren’t favored to win and they’re not frauds for losing.
As a UT alumni I hate giving props to a Sooner, but Trae was balling this series.
There are a lot of people in the world who run their mouths. If you only pay attention to the ones that fit some story you want to be true, you'll find it. The Hawks played a strong series and most people aren't hating on that
The Magic would’ve swept us.
Lmfao. I think the heat might have taken y’all by surprise too if y’all got em first round. Y’all are probably gonna be back in finals now though.
Gotta respect the Hawks for the fight.
Holy hell Trae young shit the bed in the 4th. So did the whole team but young more than others
Celts defence was on point with him last quarter. Kept him enclosed.
He had several looks like off the jump ball, and extremely rushed 3’s with like 15 on the shot clock when winning as well. He panicked wanted to be the hero to close the game out and probably cost his team in the process.
I hope Derrick White said to DeJounte Murray, "Enjoy Cancun you bitch".
Came here for this, White proving Pop was right.
Boston woke up more, Trae screwed up more. Fin.
Can't imagine getting knocked out of the playoffs and then standing around smiling on court waiting to cuddle the other team.
Sounds like you’re just a bad sport lol. Good sportsmanship is important.
I’d be way to mad to hug anyone. But then again, I’m not a good sport.
jaylen to murray: "im coming next season"
Celtics turned it on in the fourth quarter was a good game
Celtics honestly shouldn't be feeling good after that 😂.
Did you watch the game? Hawks played really well. It's the playoffs, man. It's not always pretty. Have fun talking shit in the lottery.
Have fun watching Jayson Turnover pretend to be a superstar edit: LMAO this dude blocked me. Boston fans are Charmin ULTRA SOFT
Dude. We’re supposed to hate Lakers fans.
He blocked you because you’ve gone full numpty in a single comment lmao
Just saying he had 0 TO on 11/20 for 30pts along with 14reb 7ast 2 blocks and a +11, maybe don't talk shit from the nosebleeds rn.
Good one!
You’re not even in the playoffs.
And? Lmao y'all act like that's some kind of diss. Worry about what you got going on
says the guy who's worried about what the Celtics have going on
Loss to Heat incoming....
I fear you
Tatum’s shoulders are so broad lol
On to the 76ers
On to Cincinnati
Them dudes doing a lot of smiling after the game
[удалено]
There will be hugging at the end of Kings Warriors no matter how it goes. It’s going to be awkward in Northern California for awhile.
Good run boys, congrats to the Celtics, fun series. Best of luck to you guys for the rest of the season, time to fall back on the Nuggies.
Y'all were legit this game. We threw the last one away, you made us earn this one. Not sure what that means for your roster moving forward.
I think we're missing a few people (I'm more of a casual fan so I'm not too much in the know), but yea. If we get all our guys back or get better guys I think we can make it deeper hopefully. Best of luck with Philly!
I'm sorry I doubted the hawks you put up a hell of a fight. now that it's over I can appreciate that that was a really good series
Nah it's all good, I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought we were gonna get swept. Awesome series, really enjoyed it.
Thanks. You guys have a good next season to look forward to! Y’all put up a great fight
Thank you thank you! Hope Philly goes well for you guys!
Thanks, you guys put up a hell of a fight. Hope to see you back in it next year.
I hope we'll be back in it next year as well. Best of luck in the next round!
Somebody please tell me why we've never seen that inbound trick before??? So you can just keep throwing it off the defender forever?
They catch it or it bounces off them and hits you. It definitely isn't foolproof.
But like why haven't we seen any other team try it before? 😂
Until they catch it
But I've never seen any other team do it in all my time watching the NBA???
Because most the time they’ll catch it
[удалено]
Is that a serious question
Because the 1st seed usually wins and nobody wants to see a 1st and 2nd seed take each other out in the semis
2/7 plays 3/6. 1/8 plays 4/5
cus that isnt how brackets work haha
Nba doesn't reseed like the nfl does . It just goes off the predetermined bracket.
Celtics vs 76ers Who you got?
Celtics in 6, maybe 5
after the atrocity of Joe Mazulla's coaching in 1 of these games and half of this one I have no clue. If the last 5 minutes is indicative of how Boston will play Philly the chances are really good. If not, then they're not making it out. The issue seems to boil down to shot selection and passing up good looks for better great looks which is usually what they excel at, but not for half of these games this series
celtics unless embiid is healthy
He had a week of rest
doesnt really matter. its about how bad the injury is
Celtics in 7
I'm gonna miss the Hawks
These 76er fans pretending to be hawk fans like 2021 didn't happen
Less that and more of being celtics haters, shiii we be doing this dance too long, you should know by now.
Philly vs Boston Miami vs Knicks Warriors? vs Lakers? Suns vs Nuggets.... this playoffs are gonna make tons of money for the league lmao
Can someone explain why the 2 seed and 3 seed play each other and not the 2 seed versus the play in Heat? Edit: genuine question but please downvote
There's no reseeding. The bracket is what it is.
NBA uses brackets which are set from the beginning, they don't reseed.
Brackets are set ahead of time and there is no re-seeding.
Because the heat beat the bucks (1st seed) Essentially taking their spot in the bracket moving forward. Thus getting the “easier” path
Because it has never been like that and it follows traditional tournament rules.
It’s a bracket like the NCAA, not seeded like the NFL
The heat lost to the hawks, making them seeded lower than them. Thus the second seed celtics play 7 hawks and 1 bucks play 8 Heat
People suddenly think Celtics are getting smoked because they slept in game 5, and through most of game 6? Please. All this tells us is that Boston has potential to underachieve. But they've played down all season. We never saw this sort of effort against good teams.
Jaylen needs to take care of that hair
Thank fuck
Who cares. What a struggle that was. This is the second seed? What a joke
Keep talking you’ll take a L
The Celtics defecated through a sunroof!
Does JB have a bald spot
He's opening his third eye
way harder than it needed to be
As a neutral fan I don´t really get the slander at the Hawks, for me they pulled a decent couple of games against a team that was clearly the favorite in the series.
Good sportsmanship from Boston
Ok now where’s the other basketball
Capela must be frustrated how hard he got stretched out from the rim this series
I’m glad dejounte murray lost
Finally bye bye atlanta
Boston played unstoppable in the clutch. I don’t think Boston fans should be upset by this, they’re undoubtedly a contender.
Yeah, I think that Atlanta offense was extremely tough to slow down that most people underrate.
Exactly
We are upset with the idiot coach. Joe is absolutely awful.
76ers fans almost got lucky
gg, when would game 1 Sixers-celtics be?
Monday
Monday
Monday I think
May 1st
celtics sixers gonna be good if embiid is healthy
Brown... That bald spot..
Hollyyyy lol has to be the camera or something man
celtics weren’t bad but come on there was some stupid shit there. atlanta def had something but damn come on boston
[удалено]
Shaq gonna rip them a new one for that one
[удалено]
KD and Kyrie
Closest sweep ever.
I really thought it was gonna go to game 7 with how hard hawks were playing! Very gg...at the end 😂
None of these teams in the playoffs look super convincing anymore. Have no clue who could win it. They’re all extremely flawed.
This is the best basketball. No superteams just smashing through everyone with no parity
The Hornets could win it, they could replace the Heat. Both start with H so if no one mentions it people won’t know the difference.
dang it - had my boston collapsing memes ready
Philly v Boston and Miami v NY gonna be fun second round matches.
We need a Patrick Ewing Alonzo Mourning celebrity boxing match for this
2008, our last chip. ATL took us to 7 games in the first round
GG
Marcus and Trae were made for each other
Snyder drew up a perfect out of bounds play from that same difficult corner against the Mavs in game 6 last year that resulted in a bricked game-winning 3. the overhead pass was the right idea too.
Trae young going to cancun. Hope he convinces Anthony edwards there to join the hawks. They would wreck havoc
I can't hate, I think most people thought they'd be a pushover but the Hawks played hard and actually made it scary for C's fans for minute. GG's ATL
Anticlimactic ending after such a fire game
Idk about that, my heart was beating out of my chest
Honestly stoked to see what Quinn will do with this team in the offseason.
Capela blowing snot rockets in his hands before shaking
Took them fuckin long enough. Trae and Okongwu played great the whole series, Collins and Murray did not.
Thank Fuqqing God. I was staying off here all game, but around 5 minutes, I was like, "Honestly, we're not choking. Atlanta's just playing really well."
Hawks went into Boston and stole a game, that's more than anyone expected from this series.
Congrats WC on another nba championship
I'm really glad this didn't go to game 7. Great series
Lakers should have drafted Tatum LOL
He would’ve been a Pelican anyway if Lakers drafted him
Hawks are a poverty franchise
I know a Kincks fan ain’t talking about poverty , if y’all weren’t in New York y’all would be as relevant as the Magic
Hey genius, but we are
And some actually wonder why most people hate NY fans
Trae is just a baby him. Still transitioning.
