They have 4 players who could legit drop 30 on any given night.


When KP plays, they feel unbeatable on occasions. Just makes me laugh that Washington basically gave him away. Such a bad organization.

Every game is going to come down to how well the Mavs scrubs shoot from 3.

Get rid of the 3 point line spamming 3s makes sense but is also so lame

Porzingis is a guy I’ve been a huge fan of from day one like Luka and SGA. I won’t be mad if he takes over the finals and wins finals MVP, even though I’m rooting for Dallas a bit more.

Hauser missed shots all playoffs. Now he can't miss. That's why Mazzulla kept playing him.

You're all shooting 3 too much. At some point it's not gonna fall.

Tatum can't catch a break from some people. Boston is up 17. Others are stepping up.

I guess you'd rather Tatum force inside shots.

If Boston doesn't do their take the foot off the gas thing and Tatum and Brown are finally hungry enough to show a killer instinct this won't be a long series. They legit should be competing for their 2nd or 3rd title by now to be honest.

The fact that Doncic doesn't like to blow by anybody gives Horford a shot..No way should Horford be able to guard anybody on the perimeter at.

The Mavs' path to winning is Kyrie and Luka putting up 35 each against a team with elite defensive players at every position.

The Celtics' path to winning is their great three point shooters making threes.
