As a certain Celtics fan said on twitter: "Man, the bucks really lost to an 8th seed, not enough people are talking about that. Imagine if the Celtics did that, we'd never hear the end of it"

Boston also had TROUBLE just ending a series. They can’t keep going 6 to 7 games every series.

Nothing makes me happier than when Swishout posts a video man.

Reasons why the Celtics lost: 1. Jayson Tatum injury in the very first play. He was so important in their offense. 2. Miami's zone defense. With Tatum injured, the Celtics seemed not comfortable breaking it. 3. Poor 3-pt shooting. To break the zone, you have to be a very good 3-pt shooting team. Celtics are only good shooting the 3 if the defense is not zone. Conclusion: Coach Spo schooled the first-year coach Mazulla. The coaching match-up gap was so massive.

It feels like every game 7 i watch lately is a blow out.The last one that was competitive was boston vs heat in 2022. But if you look at the others from 2022 and 2023 they all had somewhere around 20 points difference. Boston vs Bucks (109 - 81) Dallas vs Suns (123 - 90) Warriors vs Kings (120 - 100) Boston vs Phily (112 - 88) Heat vs Boston (103 - 84)

They deadass had me heated when they were bricking every three in that Game 7.

Jordan Poole has better handles than Brown 😂😂😂

8:35 Harden is really a generational choking talent

Them giving two games to ATL should have been the first red flag

Please make a video about Miami heat. How does a team go 3-0 up, then choke 3 games and possibly were gonna face historic humiliation, but they still managed to win that game 7. I would love to hear your opinion about this!

This Heat team put me through hell im just glad it finally paided off

"To cut through a James Harden style of beard" dying after that lmao

Bro I agree! I will say this. It took Jordan 7 years to win his first and Lebron 9. I think JB is 7 years in and JT is 6 at this point in time. I'm not too worried about them. Lebron had to have his worst play off series ever before he figured it out. Jordan got his ass whooped by the pistons before he figured it out. Maybe this is their ass whoopin, but only time will tell.

Man what a great series that was!!! Revenge to the very day they lost last year!!! Let’s hope for another great series!!

I think nba teams in general need to stop relying on 3s way too much . If you’re going on a stretch where you haven’t hit a 3 for most the quarter I think it’s time to keep it simple and start going for 2s instead, if the Celtics had done that they wouldn’t have been blown out like that .

Crazy how Celtics fans claim their team “owns” everyone yet get smacked in the playoffs year after year

Richard Jefferson deserves to get fired

There was a 2-3 minute stretch at the end of the second quarter of game 7 where the Heat subbed out Adebayo because he had 3 fouls and I don't think the Celtics went inside once.

You do an amazing job w these videos man. You kept the quality up all these years

Bron got hurt and dropped 40 10 and 9 Giannis got hurt and dropped 38 and 20 y’all can’t just absolve Tatum but slander Bron Giannis and other superstar/star players when they got injured. Y’all must be CONSISTENT.

Love the content. I need that "Everything this playoffs show us so far" vid like water

Great video Mr. Swish

2018 Houston rockets infamous 0-27 from 3 showed the problem with that style of play, the Celtics copied that shit and well here we are. Living and dieing by the 3 is a golden state motto for an reason

Recent subscriber of swishout, love this channel man you and jxmyhighroller are giving me the analytics I'm looking for. I appreciate your hardwork.

Jaylen Brown might want to revisit being a NASA scientist after this series

Love this content

They need a floor general who can also stretch the floor to actually win the championship

A very strange team indeed. Way too reliant on the 3 point shot, they took 38 3s a game this series. They still have the same problem, which is needing a point guard. I think Jalen brunson on this team would make them a championship team.

If Tatum is a “superstar” like y’all keep saying he MUST be held to those Superstar Standards and be called out for his INCONSISTENCIES

Their whole team plays do well all around when 3's go in and completely terrible when 3's don't go in. So strange I've never seen a top team do this consistently

NBA fans must stop throwing around the word "superstar". Neither Tatum nor Brown are superstars. Stars? Yes. Superstars? Absolutely not.

100% great analysis dog

Amazing video

Being one of the top teams in 3 point attempts, and near the bottom in 2 point attempts strikes me as coaching by analytics. Analytics has its place, but every decision shouldn't be dictated by them.

as usual swishout you got the best content on yt

Ime Udoka almost coached a team to a championship his first year. Steve Kerr's first year was a championship, but he stopped Ime from doing the same.

Bros won the hardest 2 games of their careers to lose game 7 🤡

Yo what was the sound you used from where u were talking abt Jaylen brown being terrible in the series all the way through the end? Like the 9 min mark to the end. It slaps fr

The video I was waiting for

2 all nba players, zero handles. Their suspect ball handling was exposed last year against the heat. Now its being blasted out on every tv.

8:40 how about that 2015 James harden game wtf 😂😂

I was waiting on this video lol

Moment of silence for James Hardens game 7 2015... 12 tov on 18% FG 🤧

I’m a Boston boy through and through, lived here since I was 3 years old and been rooting for this team my whole life. This having been said, I can’t stand this team. This squadron was one of the most inconsistent teams I’ve ever rooted for. They’re just AWFUL with their inconsistency! 🗑

I don't think the Celtics were not only the most confusing team but they also were the most inconsistent good team probably in NBA history that I have seen. I also want to say the Celtics got bounced the last two postseason by turning the ball over in we saw it against the warriors in the finals last year and it happened against the heat who got redemption against the Celtics from last year.🏀

These supermax contracts end up crippling most of the teams that hand them out. The rosters become so unbalanced.

5:22 SAS was so pissed off lol

Just like what Chuck said. You can win a lot of games by talents alone, but there's a reason why no team ever came back from 0-3 coz at some point there will be a time where coaching & scouting for schemes will decide the outcome of the series not just hero ball.

While I’m not a Celtics fan, I do think the duo they have is top tier and your going to be hard pressed to get two guys this good again. They are young, they have made ecf basically every year for the last couple, that’s more than most teams can say they have done in the last 10 years. They got another shot next year to change the current narrative.

This was depressing. 😤😤😩😫😭😢🤬😡 all of my emotions over the past 4 days.

It's called DEFENSE bruh give the heat some damn credit...

Obv they could have shot the ball better. But heavily relying on 3s is not gonna close games… Tatum is a great player, but if he didnt rely on outside shooting as much, and focused on attacking the basket & drawing fouls more he’d see more success. Relying on jumpshooting and 1on1 scoring isnt always gonna win you the game. It seems like he makes the game harder on himself.

MANSCAPED...yeah thats the perfect gift for my dad.....

They should just let Marcus Smart iso 50 times a game , he gets freethrows whenever someone touches him .

jayson tatum has shown up 95% of the time when it matters most. even in game 7 he sprained his ankle badly which destroyed any chance the celtics had to win. jaylen brown is the issue not tatum and the habits they were allowed to build from lax coaching

The thing is, when they lay well they don't have a "live by the three" mentality. They use a 5 out set-up to open the paint. They are the best three point shooting team, but they use that to get easy buckets. But when they play bad they resort back to chucking up threes. I think that with time Joe will fix this. The C's are young. Their only key player that is old is Al, the rest can wait a couple of seasons to improve and win a chip. I hope they run it back.

Blowing double digit leads, dying by the three...a lot of that is coaching. There are good threes, and bad threes. The celtics in this miami series were simply stonewalled by the defense, and got baited into chucking late clock threes. That is just poor offense. Losing at home so much...that's nerves and pressure. They can't handle it. And that's also the coach's job, to help them overcome that

As a die hard boston fan.. i'm not exactly sure what it is with this team... Especially the fact they blow 10+ point leads at the end of the 4th; consistently. Watching most of the games over a couple of years I'm convinced they quickly get into this victim "Poor me" mentality mixed with "I'm a superstar ego" & make horrible & soft ass plays while constantly whining & looking for calls. Plus there is some sort of energy battle between Tatum & Brown. But this is just my observation that I realized after yelling at my TV this series & from being at game 2 against Miami. & this is not a winner beats all mindset.

That ankle will numb up in a few minutes, kid. Keep playing. I don't want either one back. I need tougher guys - mentally tougher. Like that Joker. He grew up in Serbia. That's a rough neighborhood.

I wonder what editing software swish out uses.

I think they need a legitimate PG to be a floor general and feed everyone and a younger big to pair with Robert Williams!!

A coaching staff can make or break a team, regardless if they made the finals last year or are a better team than last year the coaching staff likely held them back

Because they don't have a point guard, JB and JT are FORWARDS and Smart disappears. PG by committee and analytics basketball is super lame to watch honestly, won't get you anywhere in the end. Justice was served baby

Swishout the goat you alrey know the vid gonna be 🔥

Jason Tatum and crew are intimidated more by the Celtics home crowd than opposing teams fans.

the sigh at the end before “stay tuned” … i felt that. i mean, i picked the Heat to win from the jump but i gotta say that the way things turned out is just as stated… WEIRD. i cannot imagine being a Celtics fan right now. smh

I had a feeling all year that this team would choke in the playoffs. There was something about this team that felt off. I couldn’t have been more right.

. You know they just suffered from a young coach who didn’t want to rock the boat. And had no cache for their stars to let him implement his culture

What they need is a new coach and another all star. Their cohesion looks ok but it's clear something's missing.

getting your dad a ballshaver is crazy man

Turnover rate, turnover rate, turnover rate. Swishout, you should have known.

I think they should trade Brown and Brogdon for more of a distributor type star PG. Tatum and the teams needs more off ball action. They were best with ball movement but that always gets abandoned for terrible iso late in games, which is why they're so bad in the clutch. Their actions become stagnant and Brown, in particular, gets into shoot-no-matter-what mode which makes the offense predictable

Tbh even if they won this series I think vs denver they might have gotten swept. Boston makes so many mistakes in the 4th quarter and Denver always takes advantage of that. Philadelphia should have beaten them tbh but they're the exact same way.

Imo you cannot max jaylen brown if you’re the Celtics. They’d have absolutely zero cap room and he’s so bad bruh that whole series it’s just so hard to watch him. Tatum has proved he can go off and win you games in the playoffs. I would trade jaylen but the problem is what can you get back that could actually help your team

Best basketball RU-vidr

the nba gods always do swish dirty

What we all learned this season is 1: bring udoka back and 2 : ship that mvp back to the joker and 3: ja morant is ja wick 💯🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ thats the summary for this season .

4:20 also to add to the weirdness, they were the only team on this list that didnt make it to the finals… except for the 2006 Celtics

As a diehard C’s fan, at no point from the end of the regular season did I believe they could even slow down Denver or hang with them. Now I don’t even get to find out.

I'm a simple man, I get the SWISHOUT notification I tune in

This series is the perfect example of why Pippen is right about saying Jordan ruined basketball

Also Winning 4 straight it so so hard. I now know why it’s impossible to win from a 0-3 deficit

As a C fan Tatum cant be the 1st option on championship team. He plays good once in a 3 game or something. We gotta do some massive roster change or we will be stuck like this since 2018

Penny with 10 TOV yet shooting 50% from the field? Bucket.

The Celtics fumbled so bad, as a Celtics day one fan I have to give Miami their flowers but my gawd I’m sorry these finals are gonna be hard to watch. On paper I think it sounds like a interesting match up and I want it to be a good series I really do but Miami and that zone will not deter Joker and then boys. It’s but I don’t think this series goes past 5 games. I hope it does just because I genuinely enjoy watching two vastly different styles of play go head to head but Miami just realistically doesn’t have much of a chance, the only chance Miami has is if Martin and Vincent somehow become all time great players and continue what they’ve been doing. Idk tho relying on those dudes isn’t ideal when a chip is on the line. Unfortunately I think the hot streak of Vincent and Martin is gonna be over

That’s why Spoelstra said run them off the 3 pt line cause they live and die by the 3 pt line

Not too sure about the timing. I'm going off memory here. But Aj and Rey in WCW. I know AJ was a young star just getting started. But it would of been something to see them early in their careers and see what they could of done.

The main problem I noticed is when it really matters they both get butterfingers and can’t dribble for shit

You didn't even touch on Jaylen Brown forgetting how to dribble a basketball...he kept turning it over himself by dribbling like trash. It was ridiculous to watch

In short they aint have the heart of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish ,DJ, Dave Cowens, John Havliceck, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, KG, Jojo White, Cedric Maxwell and Paul Pierce. Plus other Ca legends that have guts

Banger

I was emphatically wrong about the Celts. They have depth but lack IQ, a point guard, and proper coaching. Tatum and Brown need to handle the ball better. Smart is too wild. Horford is good but old.

I know he isn't the subject of the video... but good God almighty, James Hardens stats at 8:40 are enough to make a man cry. 12 TOs and 18% from the field? Eighteen Percent?!!!

I’m not even a Celtics fan, and while I was watching game 7, I was just begging for the Celtics to STOP shooting 3s and attack the rim 🤦🏾‍♂️ it’s like they were trying way too hard to look like the 2016 warriors

I’m convinced that the Celtics lost the series because Brown didn’t wear his Bane mask.

Tatum and Brown aren't superstars, they're just star players. Why it's true, Brown was seriously making a debate on who's the true no.1 and if your 2nd guy is pushing that agenda on your supposed no.1 guy... that says it all. And don't be like "but Tatum was injured!" Boi everyone is injured in the playoffs and I've seen actual superstar players show up despite injuries, no exceptions.

They have no player with a killer instinct.

2:30 Reminds me of season start Warriors had w/o Kerr in 2016 season. People were saying how any coach could have done it. You think Celtics would had a better start to the season after being in the Finals. =/

My theory is that Jaylen Brown was tanking to spite the Cs
