Players/coaches with NBA Finals experience Dallas went up against:
• Norman Powell: 66 minutes
• Ty Lue (coached three Finals series)
*Kawhi was injured so it doesn't really count.

Players/coaches with NBA Finals experience Boston went up against:
• Caleb Martin: 142 minutes
• Tyler Herro: 208 minutes
• Bam Adebayo: 343 minutes
• Duncan Robinson: 287 minutes
• Kevin Love: 523 minutes

I dunno, man, seems to me the Celtics have gone up against tougher opponents who's been through a LOT of battles at the highest stage.

I've been thinking, if the C's come away with a W in Game 3, do we even need Porzingis for Game 4? Maybe the best thing would be to rest him until the Finals?

Porzingis needs some serious reps before the big series to come. Even 3 or 4 games "practice" isn't enough. The guy hasn't played a game in what? a month? Those bigs out west are no joke and are playing at a high level right now. Lively, Gafford, and Washington are going to be the biggest challenge for him yet this postseason. Or KAT, Reid, and to a lesser extent Gobert.

So it's Tillman and Brissett. Think we get a Queta sighting?

Should be the leading candidate for Larry Bird trophy.

Indy has been shooting 50% or higher since Game 6, against NY.

That's 4 straight games of shooting 50% or more.

Can they do it 5 straight?

Jrue is active!

Jrue is active!

And, NO Haliburton for Indiana .....

As the obstacles pile up, could front-running Pacers start to mope around without giving full effort, and then [really] get blown out?

Hmmm...We'll see.

[Shak_Celts]

5 minutes in will be either meltdown or overconfidence mark of g3 for CRGM...


LET'S DO THIS!!

Doubtful. It seems Joe has no trust in him. Barring a blowout, that is.
