Oh it's common. Read the multiple wolves Mavs threads.

Celtics will not have a single issue scoring against the Mavs.

Celtics in 5.


Then you'll have seen that all the wolves fans voted for wolves in 5 or 6 too. Before that OKC said in 5 or 6. I read the same from the clippers fans. All of them are in Cancun now. Hope Tatum booked his hotel.


Are we all defaulting to strictly what the poll is saying? Because I don't participate in the polls so already off the bat it's scientifically bunkus.

Dallas has no answer for any of the Celtics top 6. For some reason y'all think the Celtics are small. Lol.

Dallas winning this series would essentially be a top 2 upset of all time. That's how ridiculous it sounds to me.

Once PJ, DJJ, kleber and lively submit their answers, you'll wish you never asked for their answers in the first place.

As I said on the GB. Categorically false. The Celtics will score their 120 a game.

And y'all thought I was tripping when I said there was actually Mavs fans who think this is a one sided Dallas ass whooping.

They exist. It's hilarious.

Well find out soon enough. DJJ and PJ Washington Penetentiary have put every team in jail. Tatum and brown about to be arrested and released to Cancun.

keevsnick1 wrote:I've never really understood the "take fewer threes" people out there. The numbers pretty clearly indicate taking and making more threes in general is very highly correlated with winning games, and especially so for a team like Boston that lacks the highest level of offensive engine that guys like Jokic or Luka are.

Here is a little stat to confirm your point. Three point attempts in the regular season:
1 Boston Celtics 3482
2 Dallas Mavericks 3242
3-30 Cancun teams

Also funny how you never hear about how the Mavs take too many threes despite the fact they are much worse at making them (36.9% vs 38.8% for the Celtics). But if this season has taught us anything (besides the fact that the Celtics are an awesome team) is that you can't expect the media to do their job and report objectively on the facts when they are too busy spouting non sense on TV.

Boston isn't losing to rookies and cast offs. It's not happening. It's our turn. Maybe next year.

Celtics in 5.

Normally I'd say that with the caveat that is Joe's coaching but giving how he's going up against that disgusting human that is Kidd, for the first time maybe ever he has a clear advantage in that department too.

Maybe Mr. PJ Washington needs to put trolling Dallas fans in the penetentiary.

This is so funny because it’s not like Celtics fans (or Tatum for that matter) are unfamiliar with PJ Washington.

Hornets have been Boston’s (and Tatum’s) Washington Generals for years.

I’ve said it before but this is very much like the Boston 2022 Finals run. They ended the season on a big hot streak (better than Dallas’) then took out a couple good playoff teams. They even were favored to win the finals according to many.

But that was an actual good defensive team.

I mean it is only one guy and not an entire fan base, but I do find it funny to keep reading about PJ Washington like he’s prime Ron Artest or something. We know who he is. He was cannon fodder in Charlotte for years, while at least one Mavs fan acts like he just came into existence once he reached Texas.

Gafford’s Wizards weren’t even a speed bump the last few years either.

It’s funny because I think the Mavs are a good team and have been very impressive in the playoffs.

But regardless of anything and everything else “After the Trade Deadline But Once Kidd Changed the Incorporation’s Starting Lineup” (TM) is a hilarious hilarious rallying cry, makes Without Middleton (TM) look positively old fashioned and bland.

Mainstream media wants to make it about big names in big games.

But this finals will be won with the fundamentals.

The team that controls the rebounds will have the upper hand.

And defense will be the deciding factor because both teams are good offensively.

Celtics attacking Luka and Kyrie, on defense, should also be a priority as Luka and Kyrie will tire out more easily.

Both teams have 2 stars, but science and math will tip the scales in a battle of the stars scenario.
