CELTICS 2010

you're not even mad

i wld never be mad im laughing at it

Celtics with Kyrie: 5-12 in their last 17 games.

Celtics without Kyrie: 8-straight wins.

hmmmmmm

Scanning through the season as a whole suggests a different kind of story
http://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/bos

The excessive focus on Kyrie makes out like he's the only mutable factor in their dysfunction which seems extremely silly.

tbh pacers might be a tougher matchup for the celtics than the sixers

memories lol

More Kyrie on Hayward: “We’re best when he’s looking for his shot. He’s a great facilitator. But we need G to score. I told him that, and I’m going to keep telling him to stay aggressive and be him and really be that 20-point scorer that he was.”

I pegged and eliminated six 8-year olds. UNASHAMED. Winning is everything. No let ups or playing soft. If an 8-year old can dodge a wrench, they can dodge a dodgeball. #WIN https://t.co/0Pa5qxOFdn

Celtics will always foster a rondo

its good imo that the celtics after having their playoff seed locked in played their normal rotation and two starters got injured i like it

Marcus Smart, out tonight, will finish the regular season at 36.4 percent from behind the arc. That means he was a better than league average 3-point shooter. His 56.8-percent true shooting smashed his previous career high of 49.1.

congratulation marcus

he was always good but now its more obvious

hes a worker

Kyrie on the playoffs: I’m just excited to talk about basketball instead of sensationalism.

kyrie lol bro chill just let it go and get out of your head

I need him to do a presser via holograph because he wants to enjoy nature on a spring day and he finds the media room too constrictive to his genius thought potential

Shortly after the Celtics’ 84-74 win, Irving stopped in a hallway to hug Jayson Tatum’s mother, Brandy Cole-Barnes, and say hello to Tatum’s son, Deuce. En route to the press conference room, Irving was wearing a t-shirt with a message from the spiritual teacher Ram Dass. It read, in part: “You can’t make-believe you’re calm when you’re not.”

probably a good thing for Celts fans that the Rajneesh aren't still around to lure in Kyrie.

i hope kyrie joins a cult

The Celtics are a cult

and he's the leader

true

Al Horford is insane on defense, part infinity. Sticks with Collison for 11 seconds on an island through numerous crossovers, then gets the contest block/strip and recovery. He rules. pic.twitter.com/ck20oOu0nj

No more alternate jerseys scheduled for the Celtics in this series (after wearing black in Game 1).

Traditional home white jerseys at Garden, green on the road scheduled for remainder of series.

— Chris Forsberg (@ChrisForsberg_) April 17, 2019

they heard the complaints

good move

lol

Remember that Jayson Tatum dunk on LeBron? Tatum does too. “I’ve got a big ass picture of it in my house.”@SopanDeb digs into the pressure on Tatum to repeat his postseason success after an uneven sophomore year. https://t.co/QfEZQceliY pic.twitter.com/c47ypRRkqB

think he took one kobe special contested mid range tonight fwiw

Kyrie on his feeling tonight having such a big game for the Celtics: “It was pretty peaceful.”

“It felt good to be here, in this position, playing in this arena. ... Finally getting a chance to suit up for the Boston Celtics in the playoffs, there’s nothing like it.”

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) April 18, 2019

love when kyrie goes to his special place

what a ride man

The Celtics opening night lineup of Kyrie/Tatum/Hayward/Brown/Horford got its first playoff action last night.

They finished with an offensive rating of 144.4, which is the best OR for any Celtics' playoff lineup that's played 4+ minutes.
