That's what I said about Tatum. He's gotta blow by Luka but instead he threw up a 3 in 1st half.

Clearly, the Celtics just attacked (and fished for fouls) after that time out after the big Mavs' run. Good plan.

Brown just hurls his body into defenders. Ugly basketball.

It is what they have done all year. It is like if you watched the Warriors Dynasty and the only lesson you took from it was "shoot 3s"

Hit some god damn mid range jumpers, be a threat from all areas of the court. KP was doing it early.


I mean that is what GS did. Difference is that they have the GOAT shooter while BOS has a bunch of chuckers playing analytics basketball

Kyrie has thrown the game away. He's been truly awful
