Kyrie vs Celtics storyline is underrated

You don’t think they’re going to win? Celtics are more than 2-1 favorites
Did you watched any of their games ?
They gonna fold faster than umbrella
Judging by your constant rubbish posted all season about them I seriously doubt you watch any of the games

If I was a Nets fan, I don't think I could bring myself to watch the Celtics either.

Your Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown won as many championships as our Ben Simmons and Lonnie Walker

Its going to be a good finals. Luka is going to have to work both sides of the court.

I'm hoping the Mavs win but lets not kid ourselves,the Celtics are the heavy favorite...their team is loaded and they were by far the Best team in the regular season...the Mavs were the underdog the entire playoffs, why not surprise everybody one last time...hoping for a competitive series and May the Best team win...bit please let that team be the Mavs

I have Mavs in 6/7 but could easily be Boston in 7.
Think Boston's small ball won't cut it over the 7 games against a team like Dallas

We can debate the latter, the former is a fact.
Luka
Tatum
Kyrie
Brown
Kyrie a lot closer to Brown, Tatum is in a different tier. But otherwise I agree.
Tier 1: Luka
Tier 2: Tatum
Tier 3: Kyrie, Brown
Luka is better than Tatum...though it's a lot closer than people want to accept. Brown easily clears Irving

Boston is tailor made to match up against a team like the Mavs. This may actually be the worst matchup for Dallas in the NBA

Boston is not special. They will get locked up just like the star players from other series.

Joe Mazzulla vs. Jason Kidd is really the matchup I'm watching (no more shade for the winner). The Mavs won every game in the WCF when they won the rebounding battle. Porzingis and Kornet are going to have to be healthy enough to compete in the paint and help Horford.
I have the Celtics in seven, but if Lively, Gafford and Kleber dominate the boards, which they just might, this could be a Dallas coronation.

Mavs in 6
All this Celtics domination talk, I had to double check they hadn’t won 2-3 titles in the last 5 years

I’d say OKC is probably the most difficult match up defensively for the Mavs and well, the Mavs got past em.

Kyrie is 1-10 vs. Celtics since leaving Boston, with no wins in Boston.
C's have beaten the Mavs in 4 straight games the past 2 seasons.
In this season's 2 wins over Dallas, Tatum was the leading scorer with 39 points.
KP missed one of the 2 wins over Dallas this year. Luka and Kyrie played in both.

Don’t get it twisted, he’s been like this since we fleeced the Nets in the KG/PP trade.
Has to make himself known in every Celtics thread.
I bet if the Celtics win, he’ll disappear for awhile

Not sure about that.
Luka in particular has been a royal pain in Boston's ass the last few years he's played them.
And i don't trust Boston to stop Dallas's twin towers when even Minny couldn't do it.

Rooting for Celtics but betting on Mavs.
That +185 line was just too tempting.
