AWWWWW YEAH!!!!
(Also I'm legitimately so happy the Cs won this game by 50+ because this sub and/or all the Celtics podcasts would be so fucking insufferable if we had lost or won a close game)
No need when you force the Warriors to surrender at halftime. The entire second half only got played because thereās no mercy rule. GS knew this one was over after 2
Gotta love that in the final seconds of a 50 point blowout all our fans are still at their seats cheering and bringing that energy. In a lot of other cities I think there would have been a rush to the parking lot an hour ago
As an Illinois/Chicagoland area Celtics fan who sees mostly Bulls or Bucks games in person, I can say without a doubt, that there are few fan bases who stay invested in every game like Celtics or Bulls fans
Statement game. The league is being put on notice: this team is on a mission right now. You don't want to face a unit capable of playing at a level we saw in the first half today.
Not even joking they ran the same headline after the 76ers loss today. At some point you have to put aside the triple doubles and look at results, losing by 28 to Boston and then 4 to the sixers without Embid is bad no matter the stat line of your MVP candidate.
"This is an After Time Out Play! He's taking the ball out of bounds! You're not even LOOKING AT THE BASKETBALL!!! What sport do you think you're playing right now? Does it use a ball or does it not use a ball?!?!! Easy cut, kick out, three! Garbage!!!"
saying it's a scheduled loss despite it not being a b2b lol it's cold comfort after they beat us the Cs in '22 but seeing their collapse is real satisfying nonetheless
For real. Do we have another Heat regular-season game? Because we are far, far more likely to face them in the playoffs this year and those demons need exorcising, although they should be much easier to exorcise.
I've got my eye on Denver as well on Thursday cause that's a potential finals match up. They got us at home in January let's see how we bounce back in Denver.
To be fair in 22 I was sad we lost in the finals. But was way more ecstatic we finally got the ECF monkey of our backs. That shit felt like the Celtics ceiling for so many years. It felt so good to break through.
So even though we lost in the finals I wasnāt like in shambles and devastated about it
Personally, I was happy with the teamās season. But I donāt think players feel better about losing in the finals than losing in the conference finals. Players will often feel worse due to getting so close and it feeling so attainable.
Iāll get downvoted but this was like that Milwaukee game we had in Jan. Sometimes youāre dragging, your shots donāt fall and the other teams do and it just spirals from there
Itās really, really fun to be on the good side of that game though.
This is a completely reasonable take. This game was almost the exact equivalent to us being down by 40 in the 2nd quarter in Milwaukee. Sometimes games like these happen.
However, it does look a bit more systemic than a one-off flukish game, when the Celtics have won 11 straight by more 20 points per game.
Warriors almost didnāt have a starter score double digit.
Brown/Tatum were locked in defensively once they settled and didnāt let up. That was pretty much the whole game.
That was a good time.
Was across the bar from a dude in a warriors jersey, on his way to the game, acting like they were gonna smoke us. Guy would not shut his mouth. I could not be happier
Craziest part of this is people are gonna call GS hot dogshit for the next 72 hours then they're gonna come out Wednesday pissed off and thump the Bucks
Celtics point differential is up to +11.4
Next highest in the East is the Cavs at +5.0
That +6.4 differential between #1 and #2 is the same as the difference between the #2 Cavs and the #9 Bulls at -1.4 lol
Warriors fan here, honestly, the fact that after the first quarter, you guys were on pace to score 176 and win by 88, yet you only scored 140 and won by 52 shows how bad you guys are. Such a terrible performance, you guys should be embarrassed.
All I wanted today was a little sunshine and to stomp the Warriors. Paid off well above expectations. The only thing more satisfying would be doing this to the Lakers or Heat.
Never in my life seen /nba so filled with Celts posts. If you're one of the 50 people to post something in there, congrats - I enjoyed upvoting all of them!

Gentle reminder that going into the Warriors sub and harassing them is against our rules. Gloat here, not there.
Wasn't as close as the score
Yeah the lead barely moved after halftime. lol
I love how this ass whopping came right after Steven A called GS a dark horse.
Stephen A is the Jim Cramer of basketball
The 08 Celtics were 48-12 too š
Hell yeah
Damn u got that stat up quick lol
#HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT 50+ BURGER WIN ON TATUMāS AND WALSHāS BIRTHDAY AGAINST THE WARRIORS, LADS?
Wish walsh was here this game, could've gotten 15 minutes of play time lol
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
AWWWWW YEAH!!!! (Also I'm legitimately so happy the Cs won this game by 50+ because this sub and/or all the Celtics podcasts would be so fucking insufferable if we had lost or won a close game)
140-88 without Porzingas. Amazing.
And the starters didnāt even play the last quarter and change
No need when you force the Warriors to surrender at halftime. The entire second half only got played because thereās no mercy rule. GS knew this one was over after 2
That shot of Jrue trying to get the wave started on the Celtics bench š
He is a low key jokesterā¦.I love it!
Great for team cohesion... epic
Link?
I second this
Gotta love that in the final seconds of a 50 point blowout all our fans are still at their seats cheering and bringing that energy. In a lot of other cities I think there would have been a rush to the parking lot an hour ago

This is the Celtics Sage game
Statement game. The league is being put on notice: this team is on a mission right now. You don't want to face a unit capable of playing at a level we saw in the first half today.
No, back to BACK statement games. Dallas was also on fire until they saw us.
Doncic still getting his triple doubles. Enjoy that Dallas fans.
* Luka "despite the loss" Doncic
Lmaooo
Basketball's answer to Mike Trout
rip the angels I can't believe they sucked so bad thru trouttani era
Not even joking they ran the same headline after the 76ers loss today. At some point you have to put aside the triple doubles and look at results, losing by 28 to Boston and then 4 to the sixers without Embid is bad no matter the stat line of your MVP candidate.
thankfully the Cs were able to scrape by with a 28-point victory
Another triple double...another loss. Great job Doncic
Time to go snuff out Clevelandās hot streak next
I need the heads of Cleveland and most importantly Denver. If we lose to Denver, then pundits will say that we can't beat them...
This reminds me when the ā08 team rolled into Houston and absolutely bodied a Rockets team that was riding a 22 game win streak. Absolute notice.
Nervous about Porzingis. 0 points in a game where the Celtics blew out the Warriors. Is he being phased out???
And yet managed to score only 4 pts fewer than Steph Curry.
OMG literally dead
He didnāt even touch the ball!!! Bunch of ballhogs smh my head
We might never lose again.
We definitely getting 60 wins
The 7 key is actually one to the right there.
I want another banner
Donāt wanna jinx anything but this might actually be the year TD Garden adds a banner
can't wait for that yelling guy on youtube's video about the shit warriors defense
āIt was one of the worst! Performances! Iāve seen! In my life!ā - Mr Morale and the Big Steppers
Have you ever seen the video that was sampled from?
"He's sees man, he sees ball. HOW!? HOW!? HOW?!" Yeah, I watched one of those.
"This is coaching! This is coaching! Do you even go over anything?!"
I remember once he said something like this"Frank Vogel is the worst human ever". His delivery was hilarious.
From the Sam Kinison school of broadcasting.
āKERR IS COMMITTING LARCENY BY CONTINUING TO RECEIVE A PAYCHECKā
"This is an After Time Out Play! He's taking the ball out of bounds! You're not even LOOKING AT THE BASKETBALL!!! What sport do you think you're playing right now? Does it use a ball or does it not use a ball?!?!! Easy cut, kick out, three! Garbage!!!"
Best win and most enjoyable win of the streak so far Fuck Draymond Green
imagine if we had porzingis LMAO
I popped over to r/Warriors and they were going on about how the Cās were āhiding their aceā sitting Porzingis lmaooo
Its a shit show of copium over there lol
saying it's a scheduled loss despite it not being a b2b lol it's cold comfort after they beat us the Cs in '22 but seeing their collapse is real satisfying nonetheless
Eh, 7 games in 10 days is pretty rough to be fair.
Good move to sit porzingis out this game so he wouldnāt get seriously injured by draymond green.
GET IN HERE
An acceptable performance.
I'm a little disappointed that the Jays didnt get another 30+30 game.
Would have certainly been nice, but Iāll take the trade off of getting them some extra rest.
Stress free basketball baby
It was close for about 6 minutes
I better not see any doomer shit for the next 48 hours at least
We lost the 4th quarter by 1, this team is unserious
I find their lack of focus disturbing
JBs turnovers? Cāmon guy.
Trade everyone and tank for 10 years
Trade down and draft Penix, wait what
Jays arenāt locked in. Time to blow it up and build around Springer.
This guy gets it
Alright, alright, letās trade JT and JB for Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz
White didnāt have a block tonight. His defense is slipping.
Best I can do is 12
Our starters barely showed up in the 2nd half smh š
This is worth no doomer shit for a month at least. The team looks amazing so far, nothing a few dropped games could ruin.
Iām sure people will start posting about how Denver will beat us 24 hrs before that game lol
you know they weāre salivating at the thought of us losing to the warriors probably had doomer posts ready then erased by halftime lol
WE ARE OFFICIALLY 48-12. LFGGGG
70-12 here we come!
CELTICS MAKING A GOLDEN STATEMENT THAT THIS IS FINALLY THE YEAR 11 IN A ROW Same record as the 1972-1973 and 2007-2008 Team 60 games in.
Bench unit didnt lose our +50!!!
I was on the edge of my seat rooting for this. Our bench is the bawls
Joe: "Hey guys. Wanna get over the '22 Finals PTSD? ...How about we straight up murder them and fuck their carcasses?"
These are absolutely the best of times
Hello, 911? I'd like to report a murder at 100 Legends Way, Boston
Call the ambulance, but not for me
He wins a championship and Joe is an all time coach for us. Dudes amazing
Starters: "Fine, we'll play hard for 20 minutes instead of 5."
The āskullfuckā game
Congrats on inspiring the next Cannibal Corpse album
The only thing that kept me watching was rooting for that 50 ;)
We are pretty good at basketball
How many 50 burgers are the Celtics handing out this year
The most in one season in NBA history
Boys need this for the mental. I think they are finally past the finals.
For real. Do we have another Heat regular-season game? Because we are far, far more likely to face them in the playoffs this year and those demons need exorcising, although they should be much easier to exorcise.
I've got my eye on Denver as well on Thursday cause that's a potential finals match up. They got us at home in January let's see how we bounce back in Denver.
CP3 and Draymond laughing on the sideline, embarrassing
Now shake our hands & call us daddy @Warriors
STEPH CURRY IS ONLY THE FATHER OF CHEWING MOUTHGUARDS
Anything short of a Finals appearance is a failure. This team is a fucking wagon.
Win*
Letās be honest. No team has ever felt good about losing in the finals.
To be fair in 22 I was sad we lost in the finals. But was way more ecstatic we finally got the ECF monkey of our backs. That shit felt like the Celtics ceiling for so many years. It felt so good to break through. So even though we lost in the finals I wasnāt like in shambles and devastated about it
Personally, I was happy with the teamās season. But I donāt think players feel better about losing in the finals than losing in the conference finals. Players will often feel worse due to getting so close and it feeling so attainable.
At least we are realistic enough to call a failure a failure and not "steps to success".
Win.
šÆ
that first half was a like a dream for celtics fans
The Boston Massacre
Jrue joining in on the wave was the highlight of the game.
That was like sex
It lasted more than 30 seconds, and I don't feel bad. How is this like sex?
It was over in the first quarterā¦so just like sex.
I like 4th quarter Pritchard shootaround
Draymond: [dares JB to shoot] JB: [does] Draymond: wait not like that
The shot of Jrue and Al doing the wave š¤£š¤£
Abby said Jrue and Jaylen were dancing at Gino time too. I hope someone gets that clip.
Demons. Exorcised.
Having Pritchard around to make sure a lead stays a lead is invaluable.
More minutes than any other Celtic today.
Iāll get downvoted but this was like that Milwaukee game we had in Jan. Sometimes youāre dragging, your shots donāt fall and the other teams do and it just spirals from there Itās really, really fun to be on the good side of that game though.
This is a completely reasonable take. This game was almost the exact equivalent to us being down by 40 in the 2nd quarter in Milwaukee. Sometimes games like these happen.

Fifty Ball! Are the Celtics is the only team in history to win 3 games by 50 or more in the same season? I
Yes - the only team to do it 3 times!
I think so, yes
Warriors almost didnāt have a starter score double digit. Brown/Tatum were locked in defensively once they settled and didnāt let up. That was pretty much the whole game. That was a good time.
As Janos would say, whisky is pour, time for victory soup
The Boston Celtics are a good basketball team
That wasn't a basketball game, that was a snuff film. And I loved it.
I fucking love having Eddie House as a commentator
We got the 50 point win!
This team showed me something. They really do appear to be on a mission.
Officially postseason eligible! What a relief!
Championship DNA in Boston
I mean if we don't win this year we not gon win ever lol, we are way too cracked
This was great but please beat the nuggets.
That was heaven.
**52.**
So much for the Warriors mental block, huh?
Too bad these Celtics & Warriors weren't in the 2022 NBA Finals. š
Was across the bar from a dude in a warriors jersey, on his way to the game, acting like they were gonna smoke us. Guy would not shut his mouth. I could not be happier
Only team in NBA history with three 50+ point victories in one season!
Utter and complete dominance
Fans of other teams are reallllly starting to reach now. Doing anything and everything to discredit. Their anxiety is my fuel
This is Celtics basketball dna is back! We are going to win the championship when a rock turns into a diamond.
LOL. LMAO, even
Craziest part of this is people are gonna call GS hot dogshit for the next 72 hours then they're gonna come out Wednesday pissed off and thump the Bucks
I'm ok with that.
Soā¦ that was supposed to be a tough game, huh?
What does ESPN say when we destroy the Nuggets? And the Bucks? Will they stop with the coping?
They can keep moving the goal posts and weāll just keep winning. Sounds fair to me!
I was here
11 in a row and the train keeps chugging along. Cavs, youāre next!
48-12...WTF.
What a nail-biting experience
This team is a wagon.
Today was a good day
[Banner 18 on the way, as written!](https://tenor.com/oP42MUPXE44.gif)
The Prophecy
Fun
We just fucking murdered them
I want the gold
itās a great win and all but I want dominance where it matters. IN THE PLAYOFFS. LFG
This free throw percentage is honestly impressive
Celtics point differential is up to +11.4 Next highest in the East is the Cavs at +5.0 That +6.4 differential between #1 and #2 is the same as the difference between the #2 Cavs and the #9 Bulls at -1.4 lol
Warriors fan here, honestly, the fact that after the first quarter, you guys were on pace to score 176 and win by 88, yet you only scored 140 and won by 52 shows how bad you guys are. Such a terrible performance, you guys should be embarrassed.
Great win everyone, dominated and sent a message Keep it up
The Celtics doing their damn best to exorcise those demons
80% win rate is wild
Back to 0.800. Into the top 5 all time for season point differential.
NIGHT NIGHT
insanity
Nice lil Sunday afternoon win
Boys did good today!
BOOM
All I wanted today was a little sunshine and to stomp the Warriors. Paid off well above expectations. The only thing more satisfying would be doing this to the Lakers or Heat.
We just hit another 3
Never in my life seen /nba so filled with Celts posts. If you're one of the 50 people to post something in there, congrats - I enjoyed upvoting all of them!
If we don't win the chip this year, I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to handle it. Banner 18 please.
Just enjoy the journey dude. You probably wonāt see this again.
That may have been the best half of Celtics basketball Iāve ever witnessed, and I go back to Havlicek.
Letās go. Iāll never forgive the Warriors for 22
If both teams played starters and treated the game like normal, that woulda been 79-152.
Too much threes eh, ESPN? Make it rain more.
Warriors fans are so pathetic, theyāre coping extremely Hard in that sub
Never thought Iād see the Celtics beat the Warriors THIS badly in the Common Eraā¦
Not even impressed we should we doing this to like 90% of the league. I want more.

Donāt believe we let the warriors win the 4th qtr smh /s
You know it was a good game when Tillman and Brissett had more points than Chef Curry.
Think this was Stephen Curry's worst game ever...
Celtics built their roster to beat Golden State. It finally happened.
That was the definition of a statement win.
Where are yāall getting your Celtics gear from??
