I think the Wolves fans leaving their seats are not getting food, they're heading home.

Softer than JT?
Makes JT look like Anthony Mason.

#1 defense in the league. Can guard 98% of the league at an elite level but if you can't guard that other 2% and you happen to meet them in the postseason...
But really, their bigger problem is their offense. I'd trade KAT for parts.

Honestly the key is not Luka and Kyrie, JT & JB will match them. Key is not to let the other guys go off. If they do, the Celtics will lose
Agree!
The Pacers gave the Cs a hard time because the Pacers generated so much offense from so many different guys.
A Mavs team that will rely heavily on Luka and Kyrie for offense will just get swept.
I agree with your point, don’t know about the sweep part

I'll give you a discount, Celtics in 5.

Minny has NAW, Conley and Kyle Anderson guarding Luka and Kyrie. A little bit of Edwards
I have to believe DWhite, Jrue, JB and a little bit of JT will do better guarding those two then this.

Congrats to all Celtic fans for making it to the finals again.
Hope it will be a short finals and the Cs dispose of the Mavs in 4 or 5 games.

This Mavs team is dangerous. I like us vs anyone but I don’t see it in 4 or 5

Celtics base offense is forcing switches. Be wary of timely doubles/deflections when we enter the ball into the post. I remember it being a problem against the Nuggets. KP couldn't get clean catches inside.

I see a sweep of four blowouts in Celtics favour of 50+ point margins.

We all know the adjustments the TWolves made at halftime. 1, 2, 3, Cancun!

I certainly didn't see this series playing out the way it has. Minnesota looked like the best team in the league for big parts of Round 1 and 2.

Which is why mister top three in coaching in a regular season doesn't mean anything..
Show me your coaching in the playoffs when teams have time to make adjustment.
I agree. Even Ime got punked by the warriors. Better offense kills good defense everytime.

Can't wait to hear how this wasn't Ant's fault and how actually Tatum is still bad because reasons all week.
