As per the link above, there's some optimism-inducing about facing a team that has Kyrie on it.

KP is coming back only to end the silly online debate on who the #1 on the team is and to win FMVP.

How is it that he sounds dumb as a broadcaster but when they interview him, he makes sound points (I listened to the whole interview)?

Just a gut feeling, but I feel like the Wolves would be tougher for us. Not gonna happen, so Mavs it is.

Wolves would be pretty tired after a 3-0 comeback but Mavs are the better matchup for us. Although I think we'll beat either one.

Apparently ESPN "Get Up" did a segment this morning about how Tatum didn't celebrate Brown's ECF trophy enough. And Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye say the Mavericks will have the 2 best players in the Finals.

I've had a much more enjoyable playoffs since realized I can turn my TV off and I don't have to watch or listen to these people anymore lol. But it's still right there in my face when I get on the internet. Absolutely weird and insufferable.

Richard Jefferson also said the Cavs were beating the Celtics.

Worst part about that JT clip was that you can actually see him being full on smile mode and they keep talking like he was sad or wasnt happy for JB :lol:

This is from March but I think Jaylen Brown already knew the Celtics were going to the NBA Finals and is just showing his support for JT for NBA Finals MVP!

I think they match up much better against the Mavs.

A friend was telling me about this and how Tatum can't let brown take fMVP from him. I frankly couldn't care less because my team won the freaking chip. Sports media is rotting peoples brain because theres nothing showing Tatum not supporting Brown but now the established narrative is their is some hidden rift between the 2.

I will say this about MInny, their late game offense makes the 2024 Celtics look like the 1986 Celtics late game offense. I didn't see them run anything the last 5 minutes of the game. It was give the ball to ANT and hope he makes a play.

And Ant in clutch times has often looked like all the things we've complained about JB for (only with a better vertical leap). Actually he's looked like that more often than the media is mentioning every since he was knighted as MJ Jr.

Win it all for Bill.

Makes me sad to think how we've lost so many legends during this rebuild/the Brad Stevens era.
