The Haters Guide to the 2024 NBA Finals 

The 2017 Finals video was 4 minutes long, we now have a 20 minute NBA video from Tree.

Moral of the story: Do not say “We want ____” if you want to win

the basketball gods surely didn’t want to miss out on Kyrie Irving vs the Celtics

It's crazy how the Nets were responsible for both the Mavs and Celtics being in the finals. I hate my team

Pacers: "Oh look, multiple leads in multiple games. Hopefully we won't blow it......" Celtics: "AAAAANNND, IT'S GONE......." Pacers: "What?" Celtics: "It's gone....."

"congrats to the celtics on the series win" famous last words and he fucking called it

"We want Boston" chants are a certified death warrant from fans to their team

annual tree nba video lets goooo

The 2024 Playoffs felt like a Generational Shift in the NBA. The You get Generation of Jokic,ANT, and Dhai haven’t taken over while LeBron, KD, and Steph may never win another ring

Tree does his annual "nba finals for people not into the nba" and dips till next year "unless yoyr the sixers"

Playing the audio of "what a pro wants" over the Thunder's demise is peak Tree video

Can't wait for haters guide to the 2024 Stanley Cup finals

Suns and Clippers both deserve legacies of failure respectively at this point. Props to the T-Wolves for almost giving Minnesota sports fans something to be happy about before reminding everyone they're a Minnesota sports team.

“We want Boston” “No you don’t, no you fucking don’t”

Since the KG, Paul Piece and JT trade: Boston Celtics: 2 finals appearances Brooklyn Nets: 2 series wins Might as well move the whole team back to Jersey.

“Building a statue for Luka or for Billy King”💀💀

Every single time fans do a ‘We want blank.’ Chant I’m reminded of that line from SpongeBob. ‘How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man.’

The "We want Boston" curse strikes again it seems

The big takeaway: Never, ever, EVER, chant "We want [insert team that's already advanced to the next round here]". Only one team's fanbase ever chanted those dreaded words and actually got away with a win, and that was the '82 Redskins chanting "We want Dallas!"

If the celtics win (and the mavs don't screw it up enough to deserve it) then the congrats video needs to be Congrats Billy King, the NBA's Herschel Walker trade. For those of you who don't know Billy King, the then GM of the nets, decided in 2013 to trade 3 1st round picks, a pick swap, and a smattering of unexceptional players to the celtics for paul pierce (36 y/o, left after one season), Kevin Garnett (37 y/o, traded after a season and a half), and Jason Terry (36 y/o, played for 35 games then left). One of those picks resulted in Jaylen Brown and the pick swap resulted in Jason Tatum.

Its a great yearly tradition to watch this video from Tree.

They in fact got Boston, and got smacked in 5

Mavericks fans said the forbidden chant! Looks like it's Boston in 4 then.

I'm glad Tree knows the "We Want Boston" meme. 😂

I love how you always brought up several teams' fans chanting "We want Boston!" before those teams played the Celtics.

Billy King should have his statue in Boston

Sports Fans: STOP TRYING TO SHIT ON BOSTON FOR FUCKING ONCE IN YOUR LIVES, AND DEMANDING YOU FACE THEM. FFS HAVE WE NOT LEARNED FROM BRADY??!

idk if it was intentional but the moment at 17:16 when the Ric Flair Drip beat drops out just for you to say "Get busy," and then immediately comes back with the buzzer for the Pacers is cold as hell

The Suns are in Basketball hell. No first round picks until the 2030's. KD, Book, Beal getting older, no depth. Yikes.

If the Celtics win the NBA championship, the city of Boston will reach a level of insufferability and toxicity not seen since 2019, and the whole country will not survive it.

bro the okc section 😭😭

I was able to forget about that horrible ad from the first 2 rounds of hockey, and now Tree has installed it back into my mind, thanks Tree.

Teams that say “we want Boston” are 0-3 in the playoffs. Dallas is doomed.

"We want Boston" has now officially become taboo in the realm of sports. As the Boston Celtics win 4-1 in the NBA finals Luka Doncic is most definitely fuming and I would not be surprised if even uttering the words will result in physical harm. On another note, Kyrie Irving is furious.

Thank you for being one of the few who calls the play in games what they are, garbage cash grabs. The 10 and 9 seed have no business in the playoffs. You had 82 games to be top 8 in your conference and couldn’t get it done, sucks to suck

I skipped to the Knicks portion and I want to correct a couple things. Randle had been actually out since January but was officially ruled out in April, also Robinson’s injury happened in game 3 not 1.

Tree pulling out "Stakes is High" by De La Soul was not on my bingo card.

It's always a good day when Urinatingtree uploads

And the lesson to take away from this NBA finals is, doing a ‘We Want Blank’ chant of any kind never works out for your team, 99 times out of 100 it just ends up jinxing your chances of winning.

Bold of you to including the Mavs fans saying "we want Boston" but leave out what happens when front row fans talk shit to Luka.

_At least both the Mavs and Celtics are healthy entering the Finals_

Tree your NBA videos have really got better over the years even tho you don't personally care for it. Respect.

Orlando finally looking good with a young talented core. Ain't even mad.

I finally got an answer to why the Celtics are up 3-0 against the Mavs…Let’s Go Boston 🥳

As a Timberwolves fan, playing Dallas I knew would he a mess, Dallas is just on another level, but it's fun seeing new match ups in the finals instead of the same 4 teams.

We need a Peter Deboer legacy of failure.

I picked the Celtics to win in 6, they won in 5. Close enough lol

Suns don’t have a draft pick until 2031. TWO THOUSAND AND THIRTY ONE!!!! I’ll be fucking half DEAD BY THEN

“At least you aren’t the Mavericks” - Tree, Hater’s Guide to the 2023 NBA Finals Man, what a difference a year makes.

Doc Rivers deserves his own Legacy of Failure video, and yes he won one title in 2008 with a Celtics team that a 12-year old coaching could’ve won with

Al Horford, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman are NBA champions, Jrue Holiday is a two-time champ and Marcus Smart is currently toiling in Memphis.

"We Want Boston" is a jinx asking for a ass whooping is like saying "We Want Bama" or "We Want Georgia"

I stopped watching the NBA after the 2019 finals, but I still enjoy the annual Haters Guide.

Knew Boston would win the championship congratulations

The Timberwolves make the line “Looking California and feeling Minnesota.” sound like an insult.

I feel like both LA teams really need to blow up their cores at this point. I know the NBA won't like it because of the LA market and both teams not being good for a while, but both teams absolutely need to rebuild and have a massive shake up from the top down. The one thing you don't want to do is try to ride on this hamster wheel of insanity and then get forced into a rebuild.

Yes, Al Horford is still our troll

When is Pittsburgh getting a basketball team, so we get more Tree basketball content??

That Milwaukee segment was horrible. Made it strictly off of headlines. “And a soap opera” acting like they weren’t hurt.

you don't want any particular opponent how many fucking times does Tree need to remind y'all of that

Wished tree did NBA vids more but I get why The NHL, MLB & NFL videos are way more entertaining in comparisons

When Tree makes NBA content , the world rejoices

11:02 interesting that every Scooters favourite teams got eliminated in the first round 😮 (except for Orlando City)

As a Cavs fan, firing Bickerstaff was the right move. I’m grateful for Bickerstaff for bridging the gap between our rebuilding phase and competing phase but his lineups and coaching ability simply aren’t enough for a championship team. He’ll find a job elsewhere though.

Why the hell do all the new NBA logos have to be a circle LMAO

Been waiting for this since the mavs beat the t wolves

Nice job fans lol 😂 looks like tree was right congratulations on the Celtics on the series win

Cleveland fans: “ WE WANT BOSTON! Results: Celtics win the series! Indiana: “WE WANT BOSTON!” Results: Celtics wins the series. Dallas: “WE WANT BOSTON!” Tree: Congrats to the Celtics on the Series win. 😂😂😂! 20:18 I grew up in Boston Mass for 22 years now living in Dallas, watching my two favorite teams play in the finals is a dream come true. I’m definitely pulling for my home town team the Celtics on this one.

Every playoff team: "We want Boston!" Boston Celtics: "And I took that personally."

Tree, you did not have to do the Thunder like that with the Chet and SGA commercial like that 😂😂😂

BIG AL IS AN AGELESS WONDER!!!🙌🙌🙌 In all seriousness. If you told me someone over the age of 38 would be in the NBA finals in 2024 I would’ve assumed you mean LeBron.

The last time I was this early, the Patriots made the playoffs.

As someone who doesn’t do a whole lot of basketball related videos, I’m quite surprised at depth of your knowledge of the sport and just how in touch with the culture you are. Major props Tree!!!

cant wait for the NHL video!

he had me at “Kanye Irving”😂😂😂

i see tree is just like every other basketball pundit when it comes to reggie and the knicks. When will people realize he lost the series he did the choke sign to spike? Maybe some day

I’m a simple man…I see a new “Hater’s Guide”, I click.

As a Pacers fan even though getting swept still stings quite a ton (all but one by minimal losses too), I'll take this season 10 out of 10 times in contrast to what was projected of us coming into this season (Over/under 38 wins). Obviously just immature basketball & a lack of experience leading into the sweep, but I have a good feeling once the team meshes together & our young guys keep getting better this won't be the last time we make the ECF under the new era. Go 'Cers

Apparently whoever chants “We want Boston” caused their team to lose to Boston sports teams! 😂 Also, I saw this statistic on TV last night after game 1, that game 1 winners win 70% of the series altogether.

No Warriors or Lakers. We're saved.

As a Suns fan, I’m about to go through basketball hell. I was heavily against the Beal and KD trades and what happened in the past couple of years is why you need depth. I knew we were screwed the second KD came to PHX. Yet the desperation keeps happening with the new coach hire. But one thing that makes me happy was I was told we were winning a ring with the team we had by some suns fans. So even though my team lost embarrassingly, I was right and now we’re screwed. At least the cardinals will be a bit more exciting to watch.

Tree called the hiring of JJ Reddick perfectly

Chaos at its finest

I like how this season was just: Superteams fall to injury, superteams fall to in-fighting and drama, Superteams fall to other superteams… and then The Pacers. Who are so frickin’ jazzed to be there.

The Dallas Blue Ponies vs The Boston Leprechauns

Words cannot express my joy whenever Tree uploads basketball-related content. Hope you're doing well, my dude!

Doc Rivers, how is he still getting head coaching jobs😂

Minnesota: The Land of 10,000 different ways to inflict pain onto the fans

Hate basketball, here for the algorithm. See you at Stanley Cup Hater's Guide, Tree

I would rather attend strangers funerals than watch a basketball game.

When this video popped on RU-vid, I immediately clicked on this. Now we need Hater's guide to the 2024 Stanley Cup

My Stars were sacrificed on the Basketball Gods altar for the Mavs, win it all boys.

Coming back to this after the finals,safe to say Tree called this one😂

WOOOO I DONT GIVE A SHT GO NHL PLAYOFFS

Couldn't resist taking a quick jab at Detroit's 5th pick again

🎶"What a pro wants! What a pro needs!"🎶

Babe wake up the only NBA video from UTree of the year just dropped
