2024 NBA FINALS: #1 Boston Celtics vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (BOS leads 1-0)

KP aka The Boston Strangler

That isn't how that works.
There is only one Boston Strangler (in the NBA sense) and his name is Andrew Toney

We can't expect him to understand "how things work".

It's still crazy to be that the ESPN halftime show is just 20 minutes of commercials. Aren't they embarrassed to be "analysts" with no analysis to give in the NBA Finals?

They haven't had true analysts for about a decade at this point.

They are millionaires getting paid to sit in chairs. I doubt embarrassment is their primary emotion regarding their situation.

They do absolutely no analysis.

Lol @ all the Tatum slander.

Man is playing team ball and up huge in the NBA finals.

Wtf.

They're winning by 20 in spite of him. I'd say the "slander" is warranted.

[Mamba81p]

No that was just Tatum being overrated.

Ball hog and no defense. Everyone else is playing both sides of the ball.

Brown>Tatum I will die on that hill.

This is why I come here. What an analysis.

A lil over the top sure, but Tatum once again isn’t playing up to his “level”. Or maybe this is his level. Imo he is not and cannot be your #1 player. Luckily for him he has Brown and a heck of a complete team around him. He cannot carry a team. Never shown it

I don't thinks it's a good idea to judge players in blowouts. Tatum did a lot of great things for the Celtics in the first half. It's not like he shot 2 for 10

[Fencer reregistered]

Tatum had the highest +/- on the team in the first half.

Weak finish to the half from Boston.

The fact you think Tatum is a ball hog just shows how stupid your opinion is

Fine he's a chucker.

I'm only hard on him be was getting hype as the best American player. If he wants that title he has to prove it.

[GrandTheftRondo]

He’s drawing the defence and they’re getting open looks because of it

I don’t have the energy to get into it with either of you. Tatum is not a fast twitch athlete. Agree to disagree

He’s not but there’s also no point in him pounding the ball all possession to try get a shot when he can just find the open man and get the ball moving.

Good luck defending the Celtics when the ball moves

We’ve hit a new low. That was the worst halftime show in television history. You’d think espn has some integrity

I don't even remember the last time I watched an espn/abc halftime show. Five years ago? Ten? Fifteen?

[Dubnation]

ESPN halftime show is 99% commercials. WTF?

Gotta pay the bills somehow. Those TV contacts don't pay themselves.

[2weekswithpay]

Luka has gotten by Tatum pretty easily

ESPN has fried your brain.

Basketball is a team sport, it ain’t tennis

[zshawn10]

Imagine not having to use kp for a good amount of your time because your team is already loaded

[JustBuzzin]

Tatum had the highest +/- on the team in the first half.

Those stats are misleading.

Just a simple eye test would tell you KP was the best player on the court that half.

[heezyo2o]

I think this is a game by the 4th. Celtics won't stay hot and the Mavs going to finally hit some 3s

Lol, no you wouldn't!

[Tha Cynic]

Jrue Holiday is so good defending. Dumb move by the Bucks letting him go.

[SerialChiller]

Mavs had a good run with Luka finally, but they've really missed on some roster moves too since. I wonder if they might lose him after this contract if they can't win here or soon.
