Yes exactly. Spo is **** scary lol. I don’t know what he tells his players to elevate their games, but they looked human against the Nuggets last year, so its just probably us lol.

Now you're finally getting.

Spo never won a championship without Lebron.

Both times Spo went to the finals without Lebron was in 2020 and 2023.

That's after beating the Celtics in the east finals.

So yeah, it's not Miami, it's Boston!

The Celtics are their own worst enemy.


We all know that. We always shoot ourselves in the foot, trying hard to lose games.

Exactly!

Now you know why I always predict a sweep when it's Heat vs. Celtics.

Even the poll that was started before this series started had the Celtics sweeping the Heat.

It was 1st place Celtics sweeping the Heat and 2nd place was Celtics winning in 5 games.

Tatum would be getting toasted if he was 6-19 and 3-11 from three, and people here are saying how good Luka is playing lol.

He is great, but cmon some consistency.

It's the same cycle.

People here keep saying how good Luka is despite of that 6-19 and you remind them if Tatum does that, Tatum gets toasted.

It's like wash, rinse, and repeat.

He also has 10 boards and 8 assists plus he doesn’t disappear when the game gets tight

Luka shows up in the 4th. Just look at JT’s stat in the 4th. He’s been disappearing.

Luka's main advantage is he's been playing professional basketball since the age of 13.

At that age and playing with guys 5 years or more older than him, that's a lot of experience.

Tatum had no answers for Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin while Doncic is cooking PG and Kawhi

So for the record, are you guys saying the Mavs will go deeper into the playoffs than the Celtics?

A team with 3 HOFers shouldn't be scoring this low.

JT should be dominating those guys. Clowning them even. But he’s easy to guard, especially if the 3 ball is not there.
