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

[PierceFan4ever]

Another underrated Holiday stat is the 11 rebounds. Mavs are trying to get offense rebounds and Holiday has done an amazing job just finding where the ball is gonna be and getting it. I feel at times Horford and Porzingis could do a better job there but Tatum has been aggressive getting them and now holiday too. I just remember Andrew Wiggins was relentless getting crucial offensive rebounds and putbacks against the Celtics especially in game 4 where the Celtics could’ve gone up 3-1 and he was out rebounding smart in getting those game winning winning type plays.

Another reason why Jrue wins VC.

What happened to "live by the 3, die by the 3"?????

Celtics are now 4-1 in the playoffs when shooting 33% or below from 3.

[Birdon]

Jrue belongs to Boston.
Dennis Johnson, Jojo White, Cousy, Smart, all into one.

Brad’s coup.
We appreciate the gift Milwaukee Bucks.

I have League Pass, so I can replay the game all I want.

Mike Breen was wrong when he said Jaylen fouled PJ.

JB's hand was on PJ's back when PJ was still dribbling the ball.

When PJ went up for the shot, JB's hand was not on PJ's back anymore.

Good no call and excellent block by Derrick White.

[London2Boston]

Not surprised.

This is amazing.

Will take the Jaylen Game for game 3 and Tatum Game for game 4 with the timely Jrue stop to clinch it. I’ll be taking out. Thanks.

Thank you Milwaukee

Tatum is struggling to find his shot. If he figures it out which I can't believe I have to sit here and wonder if he will, they should have no problem winning this series.

Winning a game with Tatum scoring as inefficient as last night baffles me.

Dallas is probably wondering how that's possible. They got 30 plus from Luka, good numbers from their role players, Tatum couldn't really score effectively and they still lost. In fact they almost got blown out if not for a mini meltdown by the Celtics to end the game.

I give Tatum for his great defense, rebounding, and playmaking. But his shot making is pathetic. He has no business handling the ball late in games. Give it to White and JB. We''re trying to win a championship. Who cares about somebody's pecking order or feelings.

Mavs are giving him the Miami and Golden State treatment.

Throw bodies in his way and Tatum really struggles because he hesitates on shots, drives and dribble moves because of the extra bodies.

Thankfully he is making the right plays in terms of passing but man when it comes to shooting the a
extra attention has thrown him off.

That was the fifth worst 3 point percentage the Celtics have shot all year, regular and postseason. Of those four worse games, they lost three. Only one, Game 2 vs Cleveland was in the playoffs.

He does beat his man off the dribble but he’s always full speed straight line drive to the basket he can’t cope with the help defence or he lays it off too hard off the backboard. He needs to learn from Jaylen and Luca, get his man on his hip then he can take more time to deal with the help defence. Try some floaters or change of pace euros.
He was so much better at finishing at the beginning of the season.

I’m surprised the Mavs defense is bothering the Celtics - especially Tatum - so much. When they scored 9 straight at the end and held Celtics scoreless it didn’t worry me because our lead was still solid but to me it looked more like cold shooting than anything Dallas did. Tatum is really struggling but again it’s unclear to me what Dallas is doing. They were a top defense coming into finals but I wonder if Tatum having to defend the centers is adversely affecting his shot.

Can't cope? Tatum driving and finding Jrue for easy buckets at the basket won the game.

Tatum not scoring well, Boston shooting terribly from deep, the opposing star going off on offense. That's close to the boiler plate way to beat this team and the Mavs didn't take advantage due to missing FTs, turn overs, and Irving stinking.

That was the game for the Mavs if they don't have something break their way very very soon Boston in 5 is going to look like a great call and we will be talking about the draft and which guy should be the 15th roster spot.

It's harder to be clutch if you're exhausted.

Irving can't be this bad all series. But neither can Tatum.

Tatum is doing everything but scoring which is great but he's avg under 20. If you was told that before the series started you would of thought they were in deep ****.

Dallas needs both Kyrie and Luka to go off just to have a chance and I said that all along. They can go off and still lose by 15.

The Celtics are just better and it's not even close. Losing this series how would basically be the biggest choke in Boston sports history.
