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

[ConstableGeneva]

Official prediction: Celtics in 5. CrowderKeg concurs.

[KingofTheClay]

So was Porzingis trolling or was he serious in his press conference? He wasn’t very reassuring.

Enjoy the wait people. After this it's 4 months of nothing.

If it’s 4 months of watching our championship highlights I’ll be happy to wait lol But 4 months watching Luka being labelled the GOAT would suck ass..

Olympics is late July to early August.

We'll be seeing Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday play for Team USA.

So it's really only September where nothing happens for Celtic fans.

I’ll be rooting against Mavs players in Green and Exum now then for them at the Olympics (and against Jrue and Tatum). Fun times.

And, on two occasions — when he was asked Tuesday if he is 100 percent right now, and again later when asked if he is pain free — he took several long seconds before hesitantly answering. “Good question,” he said with a wry smile to the question of whether he’s currently 100 percent. “I don’t know. We’ll see. Done a lot of work up until this point. Done everything needed to get back into playing shape. We’ll see.” Later, when asked if he’s running pain-free, he sat for a while, seemingly deciding what to say, before eventually just saying, “Yes.” 40 mins ago – via ESPN

Maybe he's not 100%, but he looks to me like he's enjoying keeping it mysterious and being cheeky.

[meatball sub]

100% healthy and 100% ready to contribute meaningfully in the nba finals are two different things. if he's pain free that's a great sign. it could be he's not 100% confident yet

KP's only needed for 4 games.

Last time Celtics swept their finals opponent was back in 1959.

It's about time the Cs went back to their sweeping ways.

Anything can happen in an NBA Finals.

If the Cs lose Game 1, this board will be Furiosa or Fury Road.

You mean 3 months. Unless you live in one the 5 or six baseball teams that has any chance in hell in winning the World Series.

When it comes to KP, Celtics are playing chess here vs the Mavs...KPs return is a tight knit circle, and no way it gets leaked to the media, hours before a game starts. Keep Mavs guessing how to prepare for our line ups. I am so sick and tired of Mavs, Kyrie, Luka, media and fans deepthroating them.

Celtics will dispatch these clowns in 5 to 6 games.

[Cuban Pete]

Re watched both mavs celts games, biggest takeaway is Boston scored easily in the paint

Game 1, they didn't have Gafford. G2, he played just six minutes.

[chrisab123]

Boston really needs to win game 1 and set the tone. The media has been more or less planning Lukas parade route.

[playa-hater]

I'm very concerned that if KP isn't 100% healthy when the game starts he has a chance to re injure it rather easily.. This is definitely the type of injury where just a little hangover can come back on any one push off..

If that were my calf muscle, I would wrap it up like a mummy with about 1 pound of icy hot..

[Cuban Pete]

Celtics in six. Let Dirk have his points. If he and Kyrie combine for 70 points, just don't let the other guys beat you. Same as playing the Bucks with Giannis and the Lakers with LB and AD, just stop the other guys. Don't let Josh Green, PJ Washington, Jaden Hardy get comfortable beyond the arc. Against Minny, Hardy shot 60% on 3s. Green shot 44.4%.

Yup but this is also how he talks. Said the same about performing in the playoffs in the opening press conference.

But he was struggling to keep that **** eating smirk off his face so I think he’s going to get after it.

I’d actually love to hear what he’s really thinking about this series but he’s not going to crack that one yet lol.

[playa-hater]

Having KP certainly makes us better, But am I wrong for thinking we should still beat Dallas without him??
