NBA FINALS, Gm 1 – Mavericks @ Celtics – 8:30PM, Thurs, June 6, 2024

JT should defend Luka, and should defend well. If those two cancel each other, we will win easily. KP should return. We need rim protection against those 2 seven footers. Celtics in 6.

The general board already picking Dallas over Boston. I'm shocked.

Cool Luka about to get his dick punched in

No one wants to back us and given how we have underperformed relative to our talent the past couple of seasons, it is hard to back us on that basis

Yeah, I agree on that. That's why I'm kinda iffy, but I still say Celtics in 6 because I'm obviously a Bostonian. Hopefully we finally break through and destroy them.

Mavs defense shouldn’t be elite vs you guys they’ve been succeeding by leaving bricklayers open in westbrick, Giddy, then McDaniels and whoever was throwing bricks at the rim for Minnesota. Can’t get away with that cs white and jrue

[Triple7]

We need to shoot lights out for 4 games. That’s the formula for winning this chip.

Got all the match-ups that most people wanted in the entire Playoffs, and now in the Finals. KP should've had more than enough time to heal and ramp up for the Finals. Seeing as how most think the Mavericks are just lightweights, the only ones who can stop this Celtic juggernaut from their inexorable march towards #18 are themselves...

That is true.

Celtics #1 enemy is themselves.

You shouldn’t be. We still haven’t played great basketball so far. The Mavs just blew out a stong wolves team at their home floor. We played catch up almost all games against the pacers without their best player. That’s ok. We played great in the clutch, doing the right things and delivering in the end. We getting KP back, and have time to prepare. I also like being the underdogs. Our guys respond better with that.

I was being sarcastic, which is hard to detect through text, but I agree with your post. I hope espn has Dallas as the favorites as well to give the guys extra motivation, and not feel like front-runners. Next time I gotta post one of those rolling eyes emojis lol. That was a realgm ballboy move on my part.

Also the last time we played, we blew them out by 28pts. With Luka playing great. Kyrie, lively, washington all playing their averages, and we still blew them out. KP scored 24pts that game. Tatum was amazing, and brown played good. We need KP to be healthy to have a post up option, and rim protection against those lobs.

This will be one of the rare years when nobody on the championship team has ever been league MVP.

That was already established by the outcome of the conference semifinals, actually.

Yeah, here's hoping we can replicate that in the finals. I got confidence. Minnesota looked so lost on defense ever since game 2 vs Nuggets. It's like watching a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, and then not composed on offense either. Celtics are a completely different animal. Just hope they can continue to execute in crunch time. Fat boy is going to have a rough time chasing his man around.

Most of my family and friends are quick to write off the Celtics and are saying this is going to be a massacre (in Dallas' favor). Their reason - they don't trust this Celtics Team, especially Tatum. I hope they're all proven wrong.

Go Celtics!
