JB and KP

But shoutout to Jrue! Not being a focal point frees him to do all the little things. I love the way he’s been playing.

Also shoutout to Haus! Holds his own on defence, also does little things.

Total Team Effort. Top 7 players were phenomenal, especially Porzingis and Brown. Holiday and Horford had great games as well. Hauser is out of his funk from the last series. Nice Team effort on both ends, especially defensively. Nice ball movement, nice rim attacking by the J's, and nice slipping screens and back cuts to confuse the defense.


An alternative perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + Steals + (0.5xAssists) + (0.5xBlocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5xMissed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5xFouls)

+22.5 Jaylen Brown 37 minutes
+21 Kristaps Porzingis 21 minutes


+17 Jrue Holiday 35 minutes
+15.5 Al Horford 30 minutes

+13 Jayson Tatum 42 minutes
+11 Derrick White 35 minutes
+10.5 Sam Hauser 16 minutes

+3.5 Luke Kornet 3 minutes
+2 Svi Mykhailiuk 3 minutes
0 Oshae Brissett 3 minutes

-6 Payton Pritchard 16 minutes

Team Total = 110

Didn’t count because Haliburton didn’t play.

Lol.

But seriousoy KP was God. Jaylen was the best all game long though. Those blocks and that dunk was filthy!

Tatum was great, but he needs to clean up the dumb turnovers. Dude dominated the boards.

Game 2 is absolutely key. We have to win and put the pressure on them.

JB brought more attitude and was more physical than anyone on both teams. Game 2's have been a weak spot. All have to bring it Sunday to get over that hump.

Believe it or not this one doesn't count because KP played out of his mind and they won't continue.

That's the narrative

It's like these people don't know they the Celtics don't need KP to win, he just makes it a hell of a lot easier.

The Celtics defense on Luka worked well. They played him straight up with almost no doubles. They showed him different defenders all game long. They stayed home on all his passing targets. He got his numbers but not the assists and not the efficiency.

Lively and Gafford- 10 points and 8 rebounds combined.

Gotta win Game 2 though.

I think it's more about depth... Who will cover for Luka and Kyrie when they're both exausted? PJ is inconsistent as hell, Gafford isn't a scorer, DJJ came down to earth to his usual self aka scrub... Tim Hardaway Jr? Hell nah. We've got much more firepower than them. We've got Jrue, White, Brown, Tatum, KP, Horford. We've got guys that time after time have stepped up and played theis asses off to win. We've got proven guys. Grown ass and experienced men out there. We **** got this.

Absolutely true.. We win game two and there's no way this team comes back..

And I saw nothing that says dallas can win if we play right.. Imagine if tatum actually plays through his better self..

JB

The only time the Mavs were even competitive after the first 5 mins was when Jaylen was seeing stars after that big blindside screen. Once his head cleared the game was over.

Excellent first go of things, hopefully Tatum adjusts to how they're playing him, though it seemed to work out just fine regardless.

Went with KP but Brown was awesome as well. I liked what I saw about 80% of the game but man most about third quarter was rough.

I'd like to see Tatum play a little better but hopefully happens game two. Obviously a great way to stop the series but I don't think Dallas is going to go away easy
