Former NBA player Nate Robinson recently appeared on “The OGs Show” and expressed his lack of trust in the Boston Celtics during the playoffs.
He believes the team lacks the essential “it factor” and competitive fire needed for success.
Despite the Celtics’ impressive record this season, Robinson remains skeptical about their ability to go all the way this time around.
Nate Robinson says the Celtics don’t have enough dawgs on their team for him to trust them in the playoffs
“They can never get it done, I just have no faith in them.” 😬

He expressed his concerns about the team’s lack of “dawgs” or gritty players. However, these claims appear baseless as the Celtics have consistently been contenders over the past decade.
Robinson’s statement raises questions about the Celtics’ potential performance in the postseason, and it remains to be seen how well it will age.
The Celtics currently have a 15-game lead on everyone else in the NBA’s Eastern Conference and have been one of the best teams in the league this season.
While Robinson’s concerns are valid, the Celtics have been playing exceptionally well and have a strong chance of winning a championship.
If they don’t succeed, critics like Robinson will have additional ammunition for their arguments.
Fans reacted as follows.
I’m a Celtics fan and he’s not wrong. No way to explain it, for whatever reason we just haven’t been able to climb that final hill

Celtics fans mad in the comments bringing up Jake but he’s right if they had that “it” or dog in them they would’ve had more than 1 finals trip & they would’ve had at least 1 ring. I do think they’re so strong this year theyll possibly win it without needing that “dog” in ‘em tho
