If the Celtics double-team Kyrie or Luka they will give up an alley-oop.

Luka is insane and towns is horrible. The suns, kings, and Hawks have to feel like idiots for passing on this dude. He was such a no brainer coming out of that draft.

Boston will need a relatively healthy Porzingis. He should rest until Game 1.

Towns is a fraud. Stay away from this chump

Luka and Kyrie both have amazing BBIQ. Always looking to score but they seem to read the defense perfectly to find their teammates as well. Such a lethal backcourt. I vision our backcourt to be similar if we can acquire Booker.

The Mavericks are going to attack Kristaps in pick and rolls.

Can’t believe he pulled up around that screen like that with a minute to go. You haven’t hit a catch and shoot 3 all night and wanna take a pull up?

Luka's advantage against opposing teams is his 6'7+ height, which means the person defending him is shorter and automatically forces opposing teams to double-team him which then leaves 4 Mavs players vs 3 Opposing players.

Are you going to give up the alley-oop or the 3 pointer?

Mavs showing more heart than I've seen from the Celtics

It could be a great finals, but I suspect Dallas will handle them in 5 or 6 games.

Do the Knicks call up the Celtics for Jaylen Brown if they lose to the Mavs?

How many more chances will the Celtics' front office give a Jaylen and Jayson led team?

Mavs look like a team built for the playoffs. Celtics will need to be hot from 3 to have a chance.
