Brown gets fouled on that last drive as well.

It’s ridiculous that people still don’t understand there can be two good players.

i repeat: the Mavs are better of getting embarrassed this game (40 point loss maybe) so that they'll be more motivated in Game 2. Just give up in this game and refocus for the next game, which they must steal if they want a shot at winning this series.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Look who is defending Brown and who is is defending Tatum. Tatum is doing exactly what he should be doing, keep splashing those threes boys.

Brown is ridiculous
I have no idea why he doesn't get the same praise as Tatum. He's better overall as a player. Defense matters he plays it.
You should probably tell all the teams in the league who put their best defender on Tatum and plan all their schemes around him.

Luka is actually defending well considering his clear lack of speed and jump.
JB is in an entirely whole galaxy to him athletically so no wonder he can defend so much better.

Mavs cooked like burgers.

lol why are people so focused on intra celtics ranking at the moment? who cares! tatum and brown are on the same team and we're still up. goal is an nba championship - not celtics best player ranking.

I have no idea why he doesn't get the same praise as Tatum. He's better overall as a player. Defense matters he plays it.
But that's the thing. Tatum has been a better defender than Brown since he entered the league. Brown having an amazing defensive quarter doesn't tilt that equation. JB had a really good defensive year though.

logic isn't allowed. tatum needs to force his own personal offense to please rgm users.

That's the biggest indicator of Celtics' defense so far. It's all Luka Kyrie ISOs only. They can't get their offense going.
