Celtics plays with an insane speed on the defensive end, something that we saw Wolves play in game 2 against the nuggets

The difference this series is that Horford is "quick" enough to guard Doncic. That is massive.

Tatum is driving to the rim a lot more now. I am liking what I am seeing.

I still remember Holliday getting cooked by butler for 56 last year

They traded away Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon, Time Lord, 2 first round picks, and Julian Phillips

Okay, I have to and1 because you said Julian Phillips.

Is that a real person, or an inside joke?

Lucky just tripped Kyrie…lol

Leave Kyrie on the floor and let him get going. This game is over but you can let Kyrie try to find some rhythm for game 2.

But it was a giant upgrade, though. Like, a really super giant one.

Two former all-stars for role players. Damn right.

Oh please.

Kyrie averaged 15ppg in the OKC series. I don't think it's a make or break factor. Dallas having no lob dunks is the thing that concerns me more.

There is nothing to learn from what looks like a 20 point blowout. You just need to throw everything in the trash and start over

Yeah. Doncic shouldn't be hunting that mismatch as much as the Porzingis one

Tatum trying to stat pad before Brown returns to close the deal like a real alpha.

Irving must be the GOAT at dribbling when he's fallen down, just as I think Marcus SMART is GOATish at passing when sitting on the floor.

Who wins Game 1?
