Celts struggle against elite bigs like Jokic and Embiid.

Small fast guards like Maxey also give the Cs trouble.

The Mavs just don't have any of those.

The Cs really need to capitalize on this opportunity.

Denver would've been a different story.


Mavs have all those things.

Elite small fast guard - kyrie
Elite big man - lively

If you think Kyrie is fast and Lively is elite, I have a bridge to sell you.

How much offense can lively create on his own where he isn’t benefiting from Luka’s playmaking?

I can't believe Dereck Lively is now on the same level as Jokic and Embiid. :nonono:

Kyrie is exceptionally skilled but he's not fast or explosive in the way guys like Kemba or Westbrook were in their primes.

8.5 hours until tipoff and the results are
Cs in 4 -- 5
Cs in 5 -- 9
Cs in 6 -- 15
Cs in 7 -- 2

How many Mavs fans visited and voted/how many accounts does Zoya have? 7

Elite big man like embiid and jokic and then you respond by saying lively?

Kid is a nice player and I like him but you gotta relax.

13 of you nailed it!
I think I went a game 'high' in my predictions each series. Cs were like nah we're winning banner 18 in just 19 games!

Guys can someone reassure me?

I’m worried Kidd is in cahoots with that bald Silver guy and they’ll make it a 9 game series for bolstering ratings
