Celtics/NBA 2024-2025 Part 1: Title Defense

[BostonBob]

A pet peeve of mine is how many NBA championships a city has won.

Boston Celtics have now won 18 championships - 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008 and 2024.

The media thinks the Los Angeles Lakers have won 17 championships but the actual number is 12 - 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010 and 2020.

The other 5 belong to the MINNEAPOLIS Lakers - 1949, 1950, 1952, 1953 and 1954.

THAT'S RIGHT

YES.

THAT IS RIGHT.

I could have used you guys backing me up when I was getting reamed by Laker fans over on the NBA section for saying the exact same thing.

Well, why didn't you call us?

Got a broken arm? FFS.

 

[Mione134]

Not at a $15 million tax bil he doesn't.

It's unfortunate because he played his way into that spot, but the tax is a killer.

I would of kept him OVER Springer.

 

[BostonBob]

Well, why didn't you call us?

I did - you never answered.

 

[GordonHowe]

I did - you never answered.

I have a rotary phone.

We've discussed this before.

You refuse to take notes.

I give, I give, and I give.

You tempt me to the abyss, sir,

And I just noticed that you gave me a 555 phone number. I work in the Film & TV industry so I know for a fact that all 555 numbers are fake. I'm starting to think that you really didn't want me to call you at all.

I suspect you're onto something,

 

[BostonBob]

I suspect you're onto something,

I'll call you on Sunday and we'll talk about. Oh crap - you got me again.

 

[GordonHowe]

You are so easy.

Call after seven,

 

[Maine Fan]

Opening night.

[Alicat]

Al getting his ring got me

This is how you do a ring ceremony/banner raising.

 

[pgm16]

What a night !!! Thank you Boston Celtics

 

[Alicat]

Trash move by TNT to cut away from the banner getting raised.

 

[CDJ]

That Mazzulla timeout is ruthless I love it

 

[Maine Fan]

They look good so far.

 

[GatorMike]

I think the most effective defensive strategy against this Celtics team is basically "Hope they miss."

 

[GatorMike]

StOp ShOoTiNg So MaNy ThReEs!!!!!

 

[Maine Fan]

Is tonight Jaylen Brown's example of the Revenge Jaylen Brown? I hope not. Check his stats, not the stats of a MVP

 

[CDJ]

Hilarious

 

[pgm16]

66 % of the total points were 3's & they missed 11 to finish the game.

Hilarious

Fun to watch

More importantly, Tatum fixed his shot. We won last playoffs without him being able to hit a jump shot.

I may be the only one here who thinks this is awesome. Yes, Bronny may have come out too early but I think he’ll be just fine and be one of the better players in the league in about 3 years.

He's 100 times more likely to be out of the league in three years. He's a fringe, 12th man NBA player at best.
