The Celtics GAVE AWAY the last two games! 🗣 - Jay Williams | First Take 

So true. It's BS how the media never gives GS its well earned love.

thought I was the only one lol

Facts

@@_Ahkila Don't remember anyone saying that when they win back to back with KD.

@@chan13153 lol you got em

Certain players and systems just tend to elevate other players. I mean you look at any sport and look at the truly great players. Particularly in football and basketball. And truly great players just elevate those around them. Whether by leadership, energy and confidence or whatever. Those are the intangibles that take a player from being a great player to a legend

Mccaw thought he was a star and turned down 6+ per year from golden state and ended up making minimum salary and later on in the G league. "Pride cometh before the fall"

@@WisdomWealth77 I wonder is he still in the league now he listened to so much of the hype of thinking that he was a superstar when he didn't realize that it was a system in Golden State that made him the star he was when he left on the state he was never the same type of player!

@@tracysharp1361 exactly. He is still in the Gleague. If he was star he still wouldn’t be trying to make it back to the league.

Its bc you cant pick and roll gsw like you can other teams

Boston got exposed

Lack of experience and confidence it seemed to me

That's what happens when you have no true PG. Turnovers against a great defense like the Warriors that historically lives off turnovers. It was the most glaring weakness and it cost them the series. However, it is also the reason they were even there in the first place. They needed every bit of size and defense that comes with how their roster is built to get past those Eastern teams. The Warriors aren't built like those teams in defensive or offensive style, so it was great to see how the Celtics big, defensive roster stacked up against a different style and how their offense would go when they got stalled. They swept the Nets, every game close for the most part. Middleton out, beat Bucks in 7. They were able to get past the Heat due to the heat having a similar roster with a more stagnant offense in that series specifically. The Warriors were not a team you could beat scoring 85 like they did Miami.

Thank you. So painful to watch

Jayson Tatum being THE ONLY PLAYER in NBA history to have more than 100 turnovers in a single playoffs run. He REAL SOFT late in every game and clutch time. Simply overrated and overhyped. He deserves no better than a second option of a team.

​@@twks123 Tatum is still young and can redeem himself

@@SayWhat336 Everyone keeps saying he’s young. Then don’t game plan around him. Don’t make him your Number 1 option when he scores 2 points in the second half of 5 out of the 6 games during the Finals. When you look at the tapes and see he chokes under pressure, stop forcing him to be THAT GUY. He ain’t him. He looked lost, and like he was afraid to shoot. Turnovers after turnovers after turnovers, and Coach still gameplanned around him. Brown was the one scoring 25+ every game, yet Tatum was clearly their go to guy. And he continued to make horrible shot selections.

Warriors are just the better team, people hyped the Celtics up to be this championship team which they might be in a different era, but the Warriors are a dynastic team.

@GG GG And goes to show how much better the warriors culture and team is curry went 0-9 and were up by 15 at one point he trusts his teammates but if u asked me it kind of looked like Boston was scared of the double team and didn't want to go to the paint and they didn't trust there teammates to make the 3 which lead to turnovers and the run that the warriors put on them just made them think they had to throw up 3s (which is another huge factor people don't bring up much, when the warriors hit there run most of the time the other team just panics and do dumb turnovers or force a pass to a 3 or throw up 3s) which worked against every team in the east but not the warriors. Game 1 is the prefect example why i didn't panic and knew this series was over for the C's.

He didn't do a bad job up top and forced Steph to the hole but he needed to have someone step in once he started dribbling but everyone just left him. Sad help defence...

That made no sense

Curry 34 so

& Steph can't guard Horford, but he never took advantage of the mismatch.

@@thebestrapperindcthebestra6429 Look at the replays and see if there was any help defence which solidifies my point.

They lost 4-1

Difference is kd showed up to play and Tatum didn't. Also Westbrook and harden are liabilities that will never win a championship with their selfish playstyle

@@mewchuking8639 what? Westbrook average 27 in the finals that's not liability idiot

I think this is a good comparison. You even had a few dudes shrink in the moment and one who rose to the occasion.

@@avantesmith6442 no one was good on the Celtics lol but it's not a bad comp

He is a bust the first pick posed to change the franchise not leave lmao

@@stopcampin4097 he's no where near a bust. The amount of number 1 picks that don't pan out is way higher than the ones who actually become franchise changing superstars. A bust is someone like Anthony Bennett.

@@stopcampin4097 He didn´t leave the cavs, he was traded.

@@stopcampin4097 It’s Not His Fault. If He Would’ve Been Paired w/ Lebron Instead Of Getting Traded To Minnesota Who Know Where Wiggins Would Be As A Player. Stop Believing Everything You Hear On Tv

@@stopcampin4097 that’s dumb lmaoooo A bust is Anthony Bennett. A dude who’s an all star and avgs 18-20 a game isn’t a bust 😂😂😂 I always thought the Lebron comparisons were dumb, but he ain’t a bust

Exactly these ESPN guys are terrible

false. sorry lol. look at the stats when the Celtics don't turn the ball over vs when they do

Boston couldn’t KEEP THE BALL..They gave those games away..Especially game 5

Warriors played good defense yall Boston fans some sore losers

@@TheOnlyDTM Warriors elite defense led to the C’s turning the ball over. Obviously you’re watching the highlights only😪😪

Hall of fame choke artists💀

It’s 4 other people on the court what do you mean? It’s called a team lmao

Because they shot themselves in the foot and bled out. Simple as that hazelnut

@@sirhoopalot1125 well duh 🤦🏽‍♀️ but among the 5 players on the court, shutting down the most dangerous one gives you the best chance at winning and someone clearly didn't capitalize

@@nutella_willow not really they played better when took away everything else and guarded Steph straight up

Praying on their downfall I swear

Oath

That 4/5 3pts burst by Horford during game 1's 4th quarter was an anomaly, like Dr Strange saying you guys had "1" chance and this is it lmao!

I agree because Curry broke them in game 4.

Tatum just had to play average and they win the series

@@rahmelw13 Here's an idea, Tatum isn't as good as the media hypes him up to be. He's a #2 option playing as a #1 option. We saw what Scottie Pippen was like after MJ left - a great player, but not gonna be a champion as a #1. Tatum is the same.

You’re a grown man and don’t know the difference between they’re and their?!

@@VictorVonDoom. and you’re a troll who obviously gets pleasure in going on social media, taking the time to read someone’s post, only to point out a grammatical error. You’re pathetic , get off my post with that bs. It doesn’t concern you or impact you in anyway.

Im with you, with the 4th Quarter of Game 1 was an outlier, not just for the Celtic's, it was an outlier in terms of any 4th quarters in NBA history. The Celtics hit 7 of their first 7 3's, hit 9/13 of their 3's, and had 40 points to 16 flipping a double digit deficit to a double digit win. That was not going to ever happen again, this should have been over in 5 games.

Heat not winning anything along with Boston 😂

Giannis by himself took them to 7 games. The bucks are honestly their toughest obstacle 😂 the heat won't win with their current "buy out" team 😂 they haven't gotten the memo that you can't win like that anymore.

Brotha enough with the injury excuse. Celtics played in that series with Horford out game 1, Smart was also out and playing that whole series on a bad ankle, and Williams with a torn MCL. They were just as beat up as Miami.

Heat out they prime

Honestly the Celtics be playing down to they comp

Agree with you on Jwill's breakdown. Boston gave it up the last 2 games with the turnovers, even though they were still turning the ball over in the 2 games Boston won. But they looked like they just could not figure it out against my Dubs.

@@andycardenas3561 You're funny. You talk like they willingly gave up the turnovers. Defense did that. Amazing how people interpret the game. Jay will is trash

@@andycardenas3561 hmm gs turned the ball over too we not tryna hear that. Nobody beat Boston 2x in a row except gs, they beat them 3x in a row! Different breed

You’re joking right? That’s what gs wanted, they shoot 3s lmao

Exactly! I thought was crazy for thinking Boston's 6'8 wings were acting allergic to the paint. I kept hearing how athletic and long the Boston players were yet they tried to out-shoot the Warriors? I believed Tatum and Brown should've had the mentality of "I'm driving to the hoop to either dunk it or get fouled". I really got tired of seeing Tatum occasionally drive to just eurostep and flick the ball off the top of the backboard🤦‍♂️ d-u-n-k the ball or post up with the intent to take it to the rim..not a fadeaway......please.

fr bruh, its like saying the title was destined for boston smh lol

bos turnovers wer caused by warriors defence lol. and as for defence you see what they tried to do to steph? great offence>great defence

Celtics never had a chance. They simply aren’t good enough

He went MIA because of defense, do you guys not watch the games?

Boston’s supposedly great defense never held the Warriors offense below 100 pts the entire series. While the Warriors defense held Boston offense below 100 four out of the six games. That’s one of the reasons why they got beat and no one really talks about it.

Tatum didn’t go MIA, he was KIA by Andrew Wiggins. Y’all suckas come correct!

Called lockdown defense, gs turned the ball over too cry all summer lmao

@@sirhoopalot1125 yup that experience kicks in

Warriors defense and they were just better

They were not unforced turnovers, you idiots need to go rewatch the games and stop just reading off the stat sheet. The Warriors defence was just that good, they forced the Celtics to cough it up.

BOSTON TURNOVERS was Boston's fault and they gave away 2 games??????? how about it was Warriors fault for forcing that turnovers by boston and showing them real defense and how to win 3 straight games... You guys basically saying Warriors was lucky the Boston gave away 2 games? lmao..

True

Celtics lost to the nets last year

It’s definitely a choke especially when you lose 3 games in a row including losing 2 home games

Not really considering they have been terrible at home all playoffs

@@camva24 have you not seen their record at home? My god you people are delusional

@@camva24 Lol how's it a choke. Boston stole game 1 with Al Horford having the game of his life, a complete anomaly and something that you can expect to never happen again. They managed to win 1 other game (game 3) by going on a run in the 4th quarter. Warriors were convincingly the better team all around.

you cant win

first time in 6 months

Right, and blame it on turnovers lmao

they said they wont lose back to back, that's why cos its back to back to back

Jayson Tatum being THE ONLY PLAYER in NBA history to have more than 100 turnovers in a single playoffs run. He REAL SOFT late in every game and clutch time. Simply overrated and overhyped. He deserves no better than a second option of a team.

Dude they lost 3 in a row wym?

👏👏👏preach!

What you talking about? He definitely did learn from Kobe, Kobe was a volume shooter even though he keeps missing.... Mamba mentality is a 2 edged sword, after shooting miserably but still keep on shooting and turns out great later on and win then it's all good but there's also time when ball just won't go in until the final buzzer.

defense by gs stop the disrespect

@@GodsOfSc GSW were great on both ends. But the Celtics choked and got in their own way which is why they lost Games 4&5. Not closing out Game 4 will haunt them for a long time.

Golden state was the better team their defense was clamping them held them under 100 points 4 times in the finals and caused them to turn the ball over as well they got outclassed

@@erikkdane8485 golden state gave away game 1 especially with the miracle performance white and horford golden state should have won in 5

@@OmarGarcia-qp9tt Golden State was the more poised team with the superior offense. Celtics had the superior defense but choked away their chances to win with their non-existent offense and turnovers. Celtics had so many chances to win Games 4&5 but they choked just like I said.

I agree bro but the majority of those turnovers that Boston had weren’t forced, it was simply poor ball security and sloppy basketball that Boston played and those turnovers were lowkey killing them for the entirety of the playoffs, but against GSW that means death lol, and GSW was definitely better coached

The turnovers weren’t forced. Boston were just throwing blind passes. Marcus smart, JB and JT are erratic with the ball.

@@eldio2124 blind passes because they had nowhere to go the warriors lock them closed their passin lanes causing turnovers thats all thats defence

@@kinggelo1994 gs turned the ball over too we don’t want to hear that bs

Trade Marcus Smart for Lonzo Ball. Although I doubt Chicago accepts. Celtics could also try to sign Ricky Rubio.

If Middleton is playing, Boston don't even make it past Milwaukee! These ESPN fake sports journalists are always nut hugging Boston teams and when they lose it is always they beat themselves!

Yea, you’re so right…and that flopping is so excessive nowadays, you can see it in grant Williams and jaylen brown too…they’re so focused on the whistle, or a potential whistle, they lose track of the ball on offense and also on defense, it’s crazy…and it doesn’t work in the long run, Joel embiid and James harden cough cough

Jwill's definition of turnovers = giving away games.... He basically saying warriors did not defend them, it was just a careless mistake by Celtics..

We forced turnovers

Good amount of unforced turnovers and careless play but everyone played for both teams and it was a fair series. GS earned the win

Gsw had 12 steals last night

Warriors have elite defense, TF

@@_Ahkila agreed it's top 3 but so many moments where Boston just chucks it out of bounds lmao. They were definitely playing scared

@@twks123 couldn't have said it better myself jaylen brown better

How many possible offensive points did you forsake by turning over the ball and also momentum when you're catching up...did you just learn basketball?

100%. Lonzo basically does what Marcus Smart does, except he's a better spot up shooter from 3 and much better facilitator which is exactly what the Celtics need. Marcus is a fraud DPOY and basically just another Patrick Beverly, but the League wanted to have a guard win the DPOY since it hasn't happened in a long time.
