Celtics hot calls this sound hilarious after dominant title run originally appeared in NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Celtics are the new NBA champions.
The C’s eliminated the Dallas Mavericks with a 106-88 victory in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Monday night at the TD Garden. Boston has won 18 championships, which puts it ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for the most titles in league history.
The Celtics have been knocking on the door of a championship for some time now, but until this year they continued to fall a little short. These previous failures have resulted in many interesting takes being released.
The scenes surrounding the 2023-24 Celtics were pretty hilarious in retrospect. This group’s ability to perform in the clutch was questioned. People said Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum didn’t play well together and wouldn’t win a title in Boston. Coach Joe Mazzulla also received a lot of criticism. One prominent speaker even compared the C’s to the Buffalo Bills.
Here’s a roundup of some notable predictions and interesting opinions about this year’s Celtics team, with most of them coming right before the Finals matchup against the Mavs.
We’ll start with the Celtics’ own video:
The Celtics’ record (76-20) and point differential (+10.4) say they are an all-time team.
The vision test says they’re not close to that.
We’ll see what happens here in 10 days.
Mavs at 5.

By the time the Celtics get used to playing real playoff basketball, the Mavs will be up 3-1.

I just got to Boston for Game 2… I’ll be right next to the Mavs bench, watching my big Slovenian adult son score 35 points and win his first game in the Finals.

“The Celtics don’t have three or four guys who can protect Luka. I like Dallas in this series. I like the way they are playing.”
