The Mavs don’t have some top level defensive player. If you an all time level scorer, it shouldn’t matter which one of these Mavs players are guarding you.

Brown’s a dawg. Tatum’s a pussy cat. Without the cat. Luka’s the best player out there like we all knew and thought but Boston has more overall talent fo sho.

His career is like Horace Grant but stuck on the Atlanta Hawks.

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


Never heard of it.

Because it doesn't exist. There can only be one good player, which is exactly the point I was trying to make. If Brown is the better player then it means that Tatum sucks.

As a neutral, stop whining about fouls. Boston has been flat out better. Refs didn't make kyrie go 6/19

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

Tatum learned two years ago what Edwards learned this season.

No.


For certain Celtics fans, Tatum will still be batman even when he's playing for Milwaukee next season while Giannis is catching lobs from Brown.

Net lost 13 when Luka rested 4 min in the first 3 quarters. Cannot afford to rest him

Derrick Jones might set a been blocked record this game
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
