Boston getting better shots. Dallas top 2 are the best shot makers. Interesting so far

Boston are really going to blow out Mavs on a hot shooting night but so many 3s make me nervous for them. What if they have 4 cold nights?

The way Celtics came out so far, I would not be surprised to see Mavs win game 1.

How about Mavs going to Gafford in the post on the first possession? And he kicked out for a 3.

Probably don’t see that sequence rest of the game or series.

Nice pace to the game so far. Gafford being on the perimeter is allowing Celtics to get offensive rebounds.

Celtics also switching up coverages on Luka.

Think opposite so far. Way better looks. Just look nervous. They settle in they may run away with it. Dallas shots way more contested

Mavs have 2 guys that are simply shot makers and also clutch. Celtics shots look a little rattled. Maybe they shake it off.

Horrible gamble by pj there
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Tatum always a slow starter but he is a closer

Tatum not settling for fades is good for Boston.

Yeah I don't like that energy of Celtics. I want to see the home team play with confidence. Road team a lil nervous. Yeah I know they tend to look a bit sloppy starting home games at times. But the time out seems to have settled them down? Or fired them up.
