It’s simple in my eyes. If the Jays don’t get severely outplayed by Luka and Kyrie then it’s ours to win.

We have owned kyrie since he left, until he shows he can show up against Boston this is just laughable. Luka is a great player but Boston has had their way with his teams, that’s not changing

Celtics in 6… hang the banner

Can see the Mavs winning if Kyrie and Luka go ballistic but I don’t think it’s likely with our array of defenders.

I think most likely, it’s Celtics in 6.

People are too overconfident prior to knowing KP's status. He swings the entire series even at 75%. If he can't go it's a huge problem no pun intended.

No KP only means series goes 6 or 7.

A healthy KP means series over in 4 or 5.

Celtics will have a hard time with some of the contenders, like Denver and to some extent the Knicks, but Dallas is just not one of those teams.

If the Cs lose in this finals, it's not because of Dallas.

Players scoring 30 against the Cs is nothing new.

The Cs will be able to survive that.

What the Cs can't do is shoot themselves in the foot.

Everyone is going to Cancun at the end of the series....


Yeah, but only the Celtics are going to Mr. PJ Washington Penetentiary first.


Where the hell did this narrative of PJ Washington being an elite defender come from? Thats like me comparing Al to Steph because Al hit 7 3s in one game.

That has to be a concern. This team at times has folded when playing their "big brother" Kyrie. If the Mavericks win it will be because of that. Then again that was also the Marcus Smart led Celtics.

It comes from his post TDL play in Dallas. You're not familiar with it...yet.

You're very familiar with how the Celtics play though aren't you? Lololol.

I see right through you. You're scared of the blowout.

They’ve won their last 10 games vs Kyrie

Tubby and Kyrie better be ready to guard because they ain’t going against trash ass offensive players like Mann/Kyle Anderson/Lu Dort. We are putting those 2 in constant actions

Tbh, I'd rather put my faith in Brown to lead the way than with Tatum, at least on the offensive part only. I expect the turnovers to be high and most of the calls will favor the Mavs. I also don't expect the bench to contribute much, save for Al but maybe, Tillman and Brisett may contribute on the boards. It will all come down to how the rest of the starters (esp. White and Jrue) want this and how they do not want to avoid a collapse of epic proportions. I hope nobody gets injured during the series. I hope we avoid close games because we don't stand a chance against Luka and Kyrie in clutch moments. I know its wishful thinking but we absolutely can't afford to blow leads. As for Tatum, his only enemy is himself. If by some miracle, he finds a way not to choke, Banner 18 is ours.

Last time we played Kyrie in the playoffs it was a sweep in our favor? Not sure what you're talking about

You mean to say you aren't enjoying 8 straight hours of a Mavs fan telling us we don't know anything about the Mavs but he knows all about the Celtics and PJ Washington is going to lock both Jays up at the same time??
