That was great ball movement to give Tatum a wide open look.

Jalen Brown is the best player in that Celtics team.
Any knowledgeable basketball fan know that.

The difference maker in the game has clearly been Porzinigis. Dallas is keeping lock step with the Celtics when he's not on the floor, and are just getting crushed the moment big Kp re-enters.

Tatum isn’t a superstar. He just got drafted to a team who doesn’t need much from him.

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
Golden State had a mid range game. Barbosa and Livingston made buckets at the top of the key.
And later on KD loved operating in the mid range.

Not that I remember. Why? Is it worse?

If Dallas played with this intensity all game, it would be a tie right now, at least. Kidd back to his game 1 stinkers, having his team unprepared

Mavs back to playing bad.
Helps that Brown can just jump into the defender.

Stop giving the ball to Tatum!

Cs beautiful ball movement.
Tatum hit that open 3 but they're not over-relying on it. Good balance with drives.
All from a good D foundation.
Solid response to Mavs' run.

Like you can’t imagine. She will ask the host obvious questions. It’s just bad.
