They have 4 players who could legit drop 30 on any given night.


When KP plays, they feel unbeatable on occasions. Just makes me laugh that Washington basically gave him away. Such a bad organization.


Look at what they got back. wtf

Like I said in who has better role player thread.. Porzingis is expected to be a star, not role player really. He’s basically Pau Gasol right now
Your Luka told management to trade the Unicorn. Now he is teaching Luka who is the real Shady.

Tatum can't catch a break from some people. Boston is up 17. Others are stepping up.

I guess you'd rather Tatum force inside shots.

He does have a tendency to chuck 3s though.

Every play the Celtics are looking to pass for the 3. Mavs won't win letting them take those since they're basically a two man team. This matchup is bad for them and they're letting Celtics play for the 3 and pull away. They need to stop overreacting to the drive.

I'm still waiting for the stifling Dallas defense we were told about. Oh and Kyrie will choke in at least one Boston game. likely more.

I’m not sure Dallas can win this kind of game. I think they want to play a rock fight
