Re: NBA Finals Discussion
Dallas has the best player so I'm going with them. I predict Dallas in 6 but it "should" be a close series provided both sides are healthy.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
Boston has a superior offence, defence and obviously overall just a better team (and with likeable star players).

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
On paper it should be Boston in 6, but man, it's hard to bet against Luka, he's a psycho. I have no clue who is gonna win, but I'll take a stab and say Dallas in 6 lol

Props TZ!

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
Celtics are the better team. I got Celtics in 5 if Porzingas plays the whole series or Celtics in 7 if he is limited.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
I’m a Boston Hater so I’m rooting for Dallas but the Celtics have the better team.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
Mavs are a great team and I expect a great series but Boston I think is the better overall team. I wouldn’t be shocked if Dallas won though. They have the best player. And he’s not just any player. He’s a top 2 player in the world.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
Preseason prediction was Boston to win the chip, so I'm sticking by it. I think it will be close, so BOS in 7 is my vote. KP coming back will be big for them, esp with Dallas' C corps. KP being able to bring those C's out to the perimeter will really mess with Dallas' Def.
That said, with the odds as they are right now, I'd take Dallas outright if I didn't have skin in the game already. Might consider a small arbitrage if Dallas goes down 0-1 or 0-2.

Hate to say it, but I think Boston is just too good. That team is stacked

Clearly defense is the difference between winning and losing for this team.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
If Dallas’s role players hang in there then they have a chance. They are a very deep team as well so this is interesting.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
I'm hoping for a Mavs victory after a long fought out close series. I'd like to see the Celtics fans get after Doncic when he pulls his little Diva acts though. Hopefully the fans do not disappoint.

Re: NBA Finals Discussion
The NBA should invite the top player from each team to the Finals. Just to experience it, maybe get some inspiration.
