As I said, they will all be HoFers when its all said and done
You were saying that they were all bound to choke, now you've got them all going to the Hall of Fame...

Considering it was in their DNA and they blew chunks in Game 4 that wasn't exactly a confidence inspiring event. Also, Porzingas' injury leveled the field a little bit more. They are what they are until the prove you different. They proved everyone that this team was different. So yeah, they were bound to pee down their leg, as they had for more than half a decade.You were saying that they were all bound to choke, now you've got them all going to the Hall of Fame...

Do you not remember they were up 2-1 against GS and winning game 4, then lost 4 straight? I do. Or losing to the 8 seed last season going down 3-0. So yeah, when you see the signs again, what are you suppose to do? Ignore it? Pretend it isn't there? Please.
Winning this title changed everything. Narratives, legacies and more.
Fair enough. The team this year seemed to have evolved to another level with Holiday and Porzingis and Derrick White's continued emergence and the better offensive flow without Marcus Smart. HOF for players other than Brown, Tatum & maybe Horford seems like a stretch to me now, but I'm optimistic that they have a good chance of winning more championships if they stay healthy.
Been watching a lot of different national shows in the wake of the title and none of the pundits are ready to give this Celtics squad their flowers for the season they've had. Ordinarily I'd chalk it up to "haters" but I'd be a big fat liar if I didn't say I always had it in the back of my mind that this team could just as easily choke it away vs. win it in every playoff round. On the flip side, I have always felt that once this team finally got over the hump and won it, it might be the start of something truly great.The Boston Celtics finished the season with a .792 win percentage
Only Larry Bird's 1985-86 Celtics had a better record in franchise history

The 86 Celts had to face teams with bigger depth. Back then we had less teams, but today we have more teams, which spreads out the talent.Been watching a lot of different national shows in the wake of the title and none of the pundits are ready to give this Celtics squad their flowers for the season they've had.

I am not predicting a dynasty by any means, but a lot of great players/teams (including Michael Jordan) just had to get the monkey off their back and it cleared the path for historic runs/performances. Can I really sit here and compare this team to the 1986 Boston Celtics? No, I really can't. But if they do it again next year, I will come back here with a giant bouquet.
The bar for the basketball hall of fame is super low. Also when considering players, you have to consider their college career, because that counts for the HoF too. Olympics too.I don't see it.
Not really, other than the Lakers. Remember, players still smoked at halftime in the 80s. You think the 3rd best Rocket on those teams, Robert Reid, could play for 10 minutes against even Jrue Holiday? No chance.The 86 Celts had to face teams with bigger depth.

Good point.Not really, other than the Lakers. Remember, players still smoked at halftime in the 80s. You think the 3rd best Rocket on those teams, Robert Reid, could play for 10 minutes against even Jrue Holiday? No chance.
Yup. Arguably the only blemish on the '86 Celtics resume is that they didn't go through the Lakers in the Finals. (Houston made pretty easy work of them in the conference finals)Not really, other than the Lakers. Remember, players still smoked at halftime in the 80s.

Yeah I dunno about all that really myself. I get that they are all friends etc and I doubt they are there without the okay, but to me, wait for the afterparty and do it there.How do we feel about grant Williams being in the Celtics lock room? After the team Just won a title. Cringe
