Jrue Holiday isn’t surprised with Celtics overachieving this season

The Boston Celtics are defying expectations by dominating the Eastern Conference, and veteran guard Jrue Holiday isn't surprised. The 35-year-old Holiday has a deep understanding of the team's capabilities, having played alongside star Jaylen Brown for two seasons.

Holiday knows that Brown takes his game very personally, particularly when it comes to being counted out as a team. The Celtics' coaching staff and organization have instilled in Brown a culture of determination and resilience, which has allowed him to thrive despite Tatum's injury.

Brown is having a career-high season, averaging 29.8 points per game, and the rest of the team has rallied around him. Holiday sees this as a testament to the Celtics' growth and cohesion, which he attributes to their ability to adapt and prove people wrong.

While Holiday may not have flashy stats in Boston, his impact was evident in his calm presence in the backcourt and defensive prowess. His acceptance of a different role and willingness to do what it takes to win has been a hallmark of his time with the team.

Holiday's return to TD Garden for a game against the Trail Blazers sparked an emotional response from the crowd, who honored him with a video tribute. It's clear that Holiday's influence will be felt in Boston for years to come, and his endorsement of the Celtics' underdog story is music to fans' ears.
 
I'm loving how Jrue Holiday is all like "no worries Jaylen Brown" like they're just mates 🤝🏽. It's so cool to see them gel as a team, especially after Tatum went down and everyone thought it was gonna be a disaster 😬. But nope, Brown has stepped up and the rest of the team is feeding off his energy 🌟. I'm not even saying I'm biased towards the Celtics, but it's pretty impressive how Holiday knows just what to do without drawing attention to himself 🙏. He's like the ultimate understudy 🎭. And a video tribute at TD Garden? That's some next-level fan love ❤️!
 
I'm loving this resurgence of the Celtics! 🤩 They're defo proving all the naysayers wrong. I mean, Jrue Holiday being a key player at 35? That's like Steph Curry playing in his 30s 😂. And Jaylen Brown taking it to another level after Tatum's injury? That's what I call clutch! The team's got some serious chemistry going on right now.

I'm also loving the vibe around TD Garden when Jrue came back to play. A video tribute? Come on, that was so sweet 😊. It shows you how much the fans appreciate him and his dedication to the team. And Holiday's not just racking up stats, he's a leader on and off the court too.

This is like the 2008 Celtics all over again - the underdog story that no one saw coming 🚀. I'm hyped to see how far they can take this!
 
idk man, i just saw that video tribute for Jrue Holiday at TD Garden and it was pretty emotional 🤯... but honestly, i'm not sure if i completely buy it? i mean, don't get me wrong, the guy's been super clutch and all, but is he really being as underappreciated as everyone says? 🤔 i think Jaylen Brown's been getting way too much credit for this team's success, tbh... his stats are crazy, but so are ours, right? 😂
 
I'm loving how the Celtics are crushing it this season 🤩, but I gotta say, Jaylen Brown's career-high numbers are a bit concerning... is he putting too much pressure on himself? 👀 I mean, Jrue Holiday says Tatum's injury has made him take his game personally, and that's cool, but what if the Celtics start to rely too heavily on one guy again? 🤔 The team needs to keep growing and adapting, not just relying on Brown's scoring prowess. Still, it's awesome to see them rallying around each other and proving all the doubters wrong 💪, so here's hoping they can stay balanced and dominant for a while longer ⏰.
 
Ugh, can't believe they're giving Jrue all this love 🙄. I mean, sure, he's been a solid addition to the team, but let's be real, he's not exactly dominating games himself 🤔. Brown's on fire, and it's cool that Holiday's aware of his importance to the team, but can't we talk about Tatum's return from injury instead? 💀 That's the story I want to hear about 📰. And don't even get me started on how old is 35 anyway? 😂 The Celtics are defying expectations, yeah, sure, and Jrue's just along for the ride 🤷‍♂️.
 
I'm so stoked to see Jrue Holiday rocking it with the Celtics! 🤩 He's like a glue guy on the court, always making smart passes and playing tough D. And Jaylen Brown is killing it too, averaging almost 30 points per game – that's insane! 🤯 The way he takes his game so personally when people doubt him is really inspiring. I think this team's growth and cohesion are huge factors in their success, especially with the injuries they've had to deal with. Tatum's injury was a major blow, but Brown has risen to the challenge. Holiday's calm presence on defense is underrated – he's like the unsung hero of the Celtics. The crowd went wild when he returned to TD Garden for that game against the Blazers... it's clear he's got fans in Boston wrapped around his finger 😊
 
🤩 I'm loving how Jrue Holiday has brought stability and calmness to the court for the Celtics. His experience and maturity have been a perfect fit for this team. Jaylen Brown's growth into a leader is really inspiring, especially with Tatum's injury. It's great to see the Celtics' culture of resilience and determination shine through in their wins 🏆. Holiday might not be the flashiest player, but his influence on the team is huge 💪. And can you believe he got a video tribute from the crowd at TD Garden? That's some serious love for this guy ❤️! I'm hyped to see how the Celtics finish out the season with their underdog story going strong 🔥

man I'm loving this Celtics season 🤩 they're like the underdog team everyone counted out but now they're dominating the East 😎 Jrue Holiday seems like a total boss, I mean who wouldn't want a calm and collected veteran point guard running the backcourt? 💯 he's not flashy but he gets it done and his chemistry with Brown is undeniable. I'm so here for this Celtics story, it's like they're living up to all those "we're gonna win it all" memes from last year 📸 but seriously Holiday's influence on the team is real and I think he's gonna be a big part of their success for years to come 👊
 
🙄 so the 35-year-old JRue Holiday is like "I'm not surprised" 🤷‍♂️ because he's been playing with Jaylen Brown for TWO SEASONS 🤯 and it's a total coincidence that the team started winning? 😒 meanwhile, Jaylen Brown is just over here averaging 29.8 points per game and people are acting like it's some kind of miracle 💫 I mean, I guess it's nice that the Celtics' coaching staff and organization have finally figured out how to make their young stars happy 🎉 but let's not forget JRue was already a vet when he joined this team, so it's not like anyone was underestimating him at first 😏
 
OMG u gotta see Jaylen Brown's game right now 🤯! 29.8 points per game is insane 🔥! I mean, ppl doubted him after Tatum went down but he just took it upon himself and carried the team to victory 💪. Jrue Holiday is literally the unsung hero here - he's not getting all the credit but he's doing all the work behind the scenes 🤫. His calmness in the backcourt and defensive skills are everything 🔒. I'm telling u, this Celtics team is for real 🔥!
 
I think people need to chill out about how good Jrue Holiday is for the Celtics. I mean, sure he's not getting 30+ points per game like Jaylen Brown, but his all-around skills are what make him a clutch player. He's like the glue that holds the team together. People say he's past his prime, but honestly, 35 and still killing it? That's impressive! He's the real MVP behind the scenes, making smart plays and adjusting to whatever game plan is being thrown at him. And let's be real, his presence in the backcourt has given Brown more freedom to focus on scoring. The Celtics' growth isn't just about Brown, it's about how they're all working together for a common goal. Don't sleep on Jrue Holiday!
 
I'm not convinced about all this hype around Jrue Holiday being the key behind the Celtics' success 🤔. I mean, yeah, he's a solid player and all that, but 35 years old? That's ancient in NBA terms! 😂 He can't be hiding under Jaylen Brown's shadow forever... will we see him make a big impact when his time is up? Also, what about the injuries to Tatum and Brown - how much of their success is actually because they're playing with a chip on their shoulders rather than actual skill? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm loving how Jaylen Brown is killing it this season 🙌🏽! I mean, 29.8 points per game is insane! And Jrue Holiday's been a genius in bringing out the best in him 🤓. The way they've adapted and grown together as a team has been amazing to watch. I'm so down for the Celtics' underdog story 🎉... they're proving all those naysayers wrong, just like I predicted back in 2020 when I said they'd make it to the Finals 😂👀. Now, if only they could take down the Lakers and win that championship... a guy can dream, right? 😉
 
I gotta say, it's pretty cool to see Jrue Holiday thriving as a supporting player on the Celtics. He's been with Jaylen Brown for two seasons now, and you can tell they've got that coach-player relationship thing down pat. The fact that Jaylen's taking his game so seriously because he feels like people are counting him out is actually pretty admirable. I mean, it shows he's a driven guy who's not afraid to step up when needed. And on a more positive note, the Celtics' growth and cohesion this season is really impressive. They've adapted and proved all the doubters wrong, which is awesome for the fans. Jrue might not be getting all the attention with his flashy stats, but he's been doing some behind-the-scenes work that's helping the team win... 👏
 
🤔 The Celtics are on fire right now! I think it's great how Jrue Holiday has been a steady presence alongside Jaylen Brown - those two have built some serious chemistry over the past couple seasons 🏀

I mean, Jaylen's always had the talent, but he's really shown what he can do when you put in the work. And it's not just him, the whole team is gelling together - they're like a well-oiled machine 💪

It's interesting to see Jrue take on this mentor role for Jaylen. He's not flashy, but he's definitely an underrated talent himself 📊

For me, what I love about this Celtics story is that it's all about the underdog vibe - nobody expected them to be this dominant and they're proving everyone wrong 💥
 
the celtics are defo on fire right now lol 🚀 their team cohesion is real and it's awesome to see brown thriving despite tatum's injury 🤕 i mean holiday has always been a vet in the league but his presence takes it to another level he's like the glue that holds this team together 👍 and fans love him for it, no surprise there 🙌
 
man... cant believe jrue holiday is just chillin on the sidelines yet he's still makin moves 💪🏽💨 celtics are proving everyone wrong again 👍 what i love about brown is that he takes his game super personally, like it means more to him than just stats 📊 if the team wasnt around him, who knows? 🤷‍♂️ holiday's calm presence in the backcourt and def skills are underrated imo 💡 meanwhile, fans are loving every minute of this underdog story 🎉💕
