CELTS TIGHTEN THE SCREWS, WIN GAME 2!! NBA FINALS G2 VICTORY CIGAR VS DAL 6/9/24 (BOS LEADS 2-0)

Dallas had 27 3PA and 26 3PA in the first two games whereas we have attempted 42 and 39. Dallas has to generate and then make more 3 pointers if these series are to be extended. As long as we keep letting Luka & Kyrie go iso without bringing much help, I just don't see how they find those 3s.

Voted for the best backcourt in the league, and two of the best closers in the league.

If I can give Tatum credit for just one thing only, it's his maturity.

In addition to the shot variance they had Tony Brothers, Bill Kennedy, and all the calls.

We have to do a better job on Gafford in game 3 and keep making Luka work for everything.

Also feel like the biggest lesson our guys took away from that Warriors series is being locked in on defense wins you a title. Warriors were very disciplined and meticulous in executing their defensive gameplan for the whole series and I feel like we are playing similarly. Rotations have been on point, feet are moving, not jumping on pump fakes.

As long as we keep playing this brand of defense, we aren’t losing

All time quote.

Tatum was creating open looks for the team all night long, ignore the noise and finish the job!

What a win! Needed this so bad, all the pressure is on Dallas to win 2 games in a row now. Celtics usually have that 1 stinky 3 point shooting night and it was today and still it didn’t matter. That’s bad for Dallas and imo the Celtics play a bit better on the road than they do on the home so Dallas is in big trouble.

Was a fun game to watch. Such a beautiful court and damn the fans were loud af. Kyrie playing like crap and losing makes this even sweeter. Makes me not want to go to another basketball game outside of Boston games now lmao.

C's came out and played like they had all the pressure on them, missing open 3s, Luckily we play Defense at all times, so missed 3 pointers are not a huge deal...Next game, We HIT our 3 pointers-!!

Jrue has completely outplayed Kyrie so far.

Absolutely.

Jrue absolutely deserves the VC for his defence, but he scores one of the easiest 26 point finals game you'll ever see because Tatum was like a Maverick magnet out there.

Another reason why Jrue wins VC.

I honestly reckon when PP made that hail mail buzzer and quarter beater, that was when we had the game won.

Mazzle-Dazzle acknowledged in his press conference too..

Stuff the haters and critics, but Joe has the utmost faith and confidence in his players, and clearly the boys respond to his trust in them

Mazz is a fantastic coach and we are lucky to have him (in my opinion)

Pretty funny that a random Dean Wade fourth quarter explosion gets a longer thread than going up 2-0 in the finals. Anyway I want to thank the Bucks, Wizards and all the Eastern conference teams that made this run possible.

Even though very happy with the 2-0. A little bit more worried about the health of KP after this game. In game 1 he didn't looked this bothered about it, so fingers crossed for the remaining two games..

Nice win.

VC to Jrue and White.

Jrue was great. White came up big in the 4th with 8 huge big points.

Brown was solid. Tatum played better in this game than he did in the 1st game, but he needs to shoot better.

Pritchard's 3 at the buzzer to end the 3rd was a big play.

KP was hobbling in the 2nd half.

No more Hauser please Joe. His nerves are shot. They have been for most of the playoffs.

Half the job is done.

Just need to finish.

Game 3 will be Dallas' last stand.

But Hauser is a Kyrie-stopper!

Joe needs to fix KP's minutes.
KP cant play 2/3 of his minutes in first half.In second half plays 2-3 minutes and goes to bench.Again few minutes and bench

Who smokes the BIG FINALS CIGAR?
