Why Does Everyone Hate the Celtics? | 2024 NBA Playoffs 

I’ve never seen the best team in the league be underrated before

because boston continues to win, envy and jealousy are the most logical reason for this hatred

Bro fr why does my Celtics team get so much hate 😭

I don’t care who hates us as long as our teams win. Go Celtics!

As a Celtics fan, I hate how people stereotype Boston fans as loud mouth annoying people.

Yeah people act like MJ and Lebron won championships at like 22 years old. Lebron lost 2 championships before he won one. He was 28 when he won the first one. MJ was like 29. Give the J’s some credit. They’ve accomplished more than most of the NBA has at only 26 & 27

As a Celtics fan I love all this Mavericks love; it'll just give us more fuel. Please, continue underestimating us.

Thank you for this. Seems like it’s New England vs the whole country

Basketball is a team sport. No player is getting carried to the finals. They all go to the finals or win championships. If JB JT were getting carried then so was Lebum by Wade, Bosh, Kyrie and Love. So was Carry by Durant, Klay, Wiggins, Poole, Green. Players getting carried are comments made by those who are ignorant about nature of team sports and I’ll go a step further and say they probably never competed in any sport.

Because all these media driven darlings of the Lakers wont accept we are bound to banner 18

I don’t know why people hate Boston so much. As a Bostonian, I’m proud of my city and my team. Celtics in 4❤❤

The only reason Boston fans are annoying is because the teams Patriots, Celtics etc… Win and other teams fans hate winners unless it’s their team winning 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the Celtics win the championship people are still gonna use the “they’ve had the easiest path to the finals ever” argument. People just love to hate on the internet like you said. And especially on Boston. I don’t get the Tatum hate though. The dude is so quiet. Yet people love people who are obnoxious like jimmy butler… who made it to the finals and lost. Also this isn’t a super team. The warriors with Durant were a super team. This is just one of the best two way teams we’ve seen in nba history. It was built slowly. Not over night like Lebrons heat or the 08 Celtics and people should just appreciate it and all the smart moves the Celtics organization has made to get here. Most people hating on Tatum and the Celtics on the internet couldn’t make a lay up in the NBA

4:36 TOTAL BS😡😡😡 JAYSON TATUM IS 19😡😡😡

Its simple really, cuz celtics are hard to put money on, and most likely lost people a lot of money. Bandwagon fans are mostly gamblers, and they don't like to waste time following teams that don't give them sure money. This coming from a celtics fan.

they hate us cause they ain’t us 🙏

Aye, celtics are one of the legacy teams of the nba with a storied history and alot of success. Hate comes with success, just like the yankees, cowboys, patriots. Or maybe ESPN glazes them so hard people are just sick of it.

Boston vs the 🌎 lets get it 🔥💯

Celtics haters will be crying when the win banner 18 As a Celtics fan all my life since 2001 I hope they win it all ☘️☘️☘️☘️ go Celtics

Just to let you know, Philly, Knicks, and Detroit are bitter rivals against Boston. Boston has spanked them many times over the history of the NBA. As a Celtics fan we will never get along with those teams fans and they won’t get along with us. Lakers fans will also never like Boston because we have 17 Banners. We had 17 way before they did. Hopefully we get the 18th this month so they can hate some more. ✌🏾🍀🍀🍀🍀

Because the Celtics is not Lebron

I don't hate...... MY CELTICS... !! OOOOK !!!!

How could you hate on a team built from the ground up. A team that has struggled since 2013 and progressed every year since. What the celtics have done is impressive and something every gm, organization and non celtics fans should envy.

Its the same bs that everyone gave nikola jokic for being the most dominant player , when they see your winning they wana hate 🤷‍♂️

If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner this season 💪🔥💪

Really likeable group of guys just getting hated on is crazy

It’s a thing called jealousy

I was never into basketball until I moved in 2021… and Celtics made the finals. First year living in Boston and they had my respect. Call it bandwagon but I’m a Celtics fan for the rest of my life now

this aged like fine wine !

I dont think anyone thinks the Celtics "aren't good enough". I think most people just don't want them to win.

It’s also weird cuz this construction of the Celtics should be the most likable, personality wise? Everyone just seem like good dudes lol

I’m a Celtic Football fan, I know the same hate. You win, they hate. Up the Celtics!

It's the amount of Lakers fans and Heat fans who are vested in the Celtics failing due to the rivalry. They've all but admitted to bandwagoning just to see the Cs fail.

It's not boston's fault the opponents key players are injured Why are these people saying Boston's run is easy because the opponents superstar is injured and will not win because of it? And dallas will win because they're opponents are strong Wtf is that mentality? You should complain to the nba then say "If the number one seed opponent is injured, can we put the non injured team against them instead and put the injured team to a weaker team so that we will have a fair matchup" 🤣 It is what it is, if you're superstar is injured then someone should step up That's why you make your roster deep, so that when someone is injured someone will step up Not making excuses and talking down to the winning team, it's not their fault Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell, and Tyrese Halibutton are injured

Apparently the inability of other teams to stay healthy was boston's fault. Like they walked into mcdonalds and said "Yeah, I'll have the miami heat, hold the jimmy butler. Then let me get cleveland with just a smidge of donovan mitchell, and lastly I'd like some pacers with a haliburton. Hamstring well done." They just played who they had to. They spent all season beating east and west, healthy, not healthy. They're good. So is dallas. Fans of neither should just be pulling for a good series, but I guess the celtics are the bad guy! *Tony Montana voice*

Back in the day...the only people who really "HATED" the C's were mostly Laker and Philly "fans"

For some reason the Celtics have legit become underdogs and an overwhelming majority is picking mavericks

I think it's the faker fans.. I mean laker fans. They don't want that 18th banner and celtics getting on top. Well, I'm neither fan of both teams but I hate the fakers so I will root for the celtics because. 1. To slap my bucks in the face for trading Jrue Holiday. 2. And yes, to see the pain on those faker fans that celtics raising that 18th banner.

1:41 yes. That’s most of the reason. A lot of people hate Boston sports teams and fans because our teams have all seen success in some way shape or form. The Tom Brady Patriots, the 60s Celtics, the Big Bad Bruins of the 70s, or the 2000s and 2010s Red Sox. People hate seeing Boston win.

I love my Celtics.

the thing about hate is that it is not rational. the Celtics are a great team and this is a team sport. this squad should be celebrated

...hated b/c they are not flashy showboats....just a smart, unselfish team...they will win Finals in 6, full stop.

Mavs would need to play perfect basketball to beat us. I don’t think they can do that with our defense.

this is what I've been trying to figure out. I guess people just don't know the Celtics of this year.

Lakers fan here, it’s the generic “we need Boston to lose so that the status quo would remain” reason. The players are hated by association. IDK about the reason for the other teams. Maybe bandwagon or because they were the favorites before, but fumbled?

I saw a RU-vid poll asking who do think will win.It was 70/30 for the Mavs.People voted on who do you hate less.😂

People forget the first ring the warriors won involved every team they faced in the playoffs suffering injuries to at least 1 key player including Kyrie and K. Love in the Finals, do we act like they only have 3 rings? NO, they have 4. people will eventually accept that the Celtics won fair and square, but they'll kick and scream for a little while because Boston has had so much success in the last 20 years people are tired of them winning. They grew up seeing their favorite teams get violated by Boston, their daddy's grew up seeing their fav team get crushed and their daddy's daddy suffered the same. It's generational hatred make no mistake. I'm a thunder fan btw

THE CELTICS ARE WINNING A RING THIS YEAR! Let’s go greens! 😝😝😝

All the Boston hate is just crazy to me. Everyone truly does hate a winner that does it the right way for some reason. But everyone better get ready to cry because I'm sorry to break it to everyone but as long as everyone stays healthy Boston is winning the championship they are just to well rounded as a team anyone on any given night and go off and be the reason they win unlike the Mavs who have to fully rely on Luka and Kyrie in order to win. And by the way Boston is not a super team lol! They didn't do what LeBron and Durant did. They drafted Brown and Tatum and Holiday was pretty much an even trade for Smart and porzingis is good but I wouldn't call him a super star by no means and no team really wanted him because he's always injured. Boston did it through the draft and took everyone's leftovers and made the best team in the league.

Jaylen Brown ENTER his 1st YEAR PRIMES 💪🔥💪

CRAZY that he's only 19 year old 😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😅😅😅😂🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

It’s Boston hate. They did the same thing to Brady.

i hate the Cs, and hate Jay-son, but the Cs are absolutely the favorites. If the Cs loses, this will be one of the worst losses in history. They are loaded

I agree with you 💯 percent. They don't have a single person hogging the ball. They have a whole team working together as a unit.

Because they have been stacked for the last 8 years and everyone acts like they have no help they choke this is the most stacked team I've seen in a long time and they bout to get rolled by Luka Kyrie and some random pieces

Celtics vs the world - LFG!! Get that ring fellas!!

Jeez, any team looks unbeatable when you put a highlight reel on repeat. And I don’t understand how anybody hates on Jason Tatum or his game, except hating that he plays for an opponent.

from what I gathered, everyone under sells the rest of the east so much, and because boston didnt beat the pacers by 20 every game they are overrated, because instead of saying "wow the pacers are better then we thought" we say "wow boston is worse then we thought" idk man

Because we got more championships then any other team baby!

just ppl being ppl hate is a trend now a days, as the famost movie says, "they hate us cuz they ain't us" its just pure jealousy because their team is inferior and im a celtic since pierce era.

Celtics always get hate cuz everyone lives in the west and loves curry Derrick and lebron

As a Toronto born Celtics fan, I give you massive props because the raptors are probably in my top 3 for most hated teams and I don’t think I’d have it in me to prop up the raptors lol

Bruh, it’s just jealousy… Celtic win fatigue… they tired of seeing us knock off the teams they root for, Embiid, Giannis, Butler, all got their seasons ended by the C’s at one point or another… just bandwagon hatred. Lebron ruled the “easy east” for a decade, no one had a problem then.

Schroedingers basketball team: They are so good it's completely unfair. They also suck and will loose the finals to the greatest backcourt in history! And yes. I agree. They will probably still be hated, even if they win. But at the very least the Brown and Tatum slander might not be a national sport in the NBA media for the next year or so. One could only hope.

I’m a Celtics fan it’s true actually we scream our heads off in the game also WHY IS THE CELTICS GETTING SO MUCH HATE THEY GREEN THE SHOT

Iam From south Africa iam just confused about this ... yhoo celtic they have beef with you guys. Iam wishing you all the best let's goo Boston celtics you got this.

They are the only NBA team that I can watch.

easiest route to champion in NBA history. Round 1 they should have lost if Jimmy Butler wasn't injured, Round 2 could have atleast gone to 7 if Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen were healthy, and Round 3 could have easily been a sweep for Indiana with just a few plays. Now, they are facing the 5th seeded Mavs in the finals, who's roster was constructed 4 months ago. Bunch of bums.

People who hate them are jealous and just plain babies.

It's the logo. The brand. Think Redskins.

Cue the Duck Boats! It's been a couple yrs so the city of Boston is long overdue for yet another championship parade.

some of the hate may have come from former fans that gave up because they have fallen short in the past.

Boston Celtics 2024 NBA Champion 🏆 FMVP: Jaylen Brown

Cause of the 22 playoffs but this is a different team that will win it all

Just like Ticket said in his podcast with Truth. Yes other teams were injured but we talking about NBA professional basketball players. These dudes they played aren’t in the G league these are NBA players they playing

They playing great to me!❤

It's going to be a nba finals Boston Celtics coming out on top for there 18th championship 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Finally, someone with a brain!!!

Celtics might be hated but the Mavs get routinely underestimated. Against the Clippers it was said to be a toss up. And they were the lesser favorite to the #1 Thunder and Timberwolves because of their defense. It's not just a Celtics thing as from what I've seen most people are once again betting against the Mavs because of the Celts deeper team.

You predict, Celtics are dominating this season

People hate on perennially strong teams

I'm a Celtics fan and have been since I was 12.. I'm 31 now and I'm old enough to know people hate the Celtics because of the history of racism because Lakers fans are just as annoying but the racism isn't a stereotype

Jaylen Brown is my favorite NBA player

Picking the Celts is NOT controversial. Get out of your echo chamber. The entire Inside the NBA crew picked the Celts to win vs Mavs. More than half the media has chosen Boston, and Vegas is choosing Boston. You're not holding some novel opinion here. Everyone agrees that Boston has had the most talented roster in the NBA, not just this season but arguably last season too...and they choked to Miami. People hate Boston because they are completely spoiled with talent and they end up doing really dumb things to themselves...they did everything they could to hand 2 games over to the Pacers last series, but the Pacers just choked harder. Boston is expected to win, so people want to see talent lose to grit.

They already discrediting our post season achievements thus far. With the narrative that we had a cake walk to the finals, we haven't been tested. blah blah blah!!!

Here. Imagine how 76ers fans would brag about their MVP and make excuses, but can get away with it. But if Tatum didn't make The Finals, destroy him . Yes, I know he's a number 2 guy, but if he's contributing and does a good job, who are we to criticize. He did his job... Yeah, if The Celtics win... What are the excuses? An easy path to Finals, Luka and Kyrie got it harder..... The question is did they cheat? The 76ers did, The Knicks did as well. But why are they not being highlighted. They will be given a list of excuses.

So we gonna bitch the Celtics have a super team but nobody was bitching when the warriors did it what a joke ya can hate Boston all you want people just mad because this team has never really gone away we had are ups in the early 2000s 90s and now the last 8 years we have been in the playoffs straight so keep hating this team has worked hard and had progressed they deserve it just as much as any other team in the nba

Mavericks fans are worse then Celtics fans. By far. Boston fans are the best.

New York Knicks was also a team hated because of their fans, but that team was terrific in the playoffs...I'm a fan of Luka's game but Celtics play better basketball with their basketball movement and collective defense.

Ok what fanbase is the most likable in all around great we love our sports. Sorry I can’t think of anyone talking about why they love any particular fanbase.

The reason why I hate the Celtics is because I do not want them to win their 18th ring. I have never seen the Celtics win a ring before and this will be the first time. I hope they lose.

Top 5 Tatum will be needed to win the finals

Tatum side step 3 pointers is why I don’t like him and I’m a huge Celtics fan he really just be jacking up shots like the game don’t be on the line recently he started to drive to the basket more which is exactly what I thought he wouldn’t been doing so he’s starting to grown on me (pause) I’m a big Jaylen brown fan hopefully they don’t choke this one away

Celtics way better than mats

Kristaps is a vet now ? :O

Mav fans surpassed Celtics fans by far when the posts pure BS. Btw the icing on the cake for Tatum is that he almost never, but now, claimed that he is a superstar or the best player in the league. Media made the narrative and stupid haters bounced back by becoming what they hated the most.

Nah it's just the Mavericks have been looking phenomenal in a very competitive conference

Lot of great points made in this video lol. Celtics are only superteam when it’s convenient for the narrative. When’s the last time a superteam only had one all nba guy?

I have them winning in 5-6.

they get don’t get “hate” there just a boring team with boring personalities why no one rlly pays attention to them someone like luka n kyrie r more entertaining to watch
