Joe looking like a genius deciding to bring KP off the bench.

I see that Tatum is playing a different role tonight... Much more as a facilitator and distributing the ball. But I think we'll need Tatum killer instinct too for the next games as Kidd and the Mavs will adjust to this... But to be honest? I loved it

Brown used to be good at free throws..

Only one game but I couldn't be more happy with what I saw tonight.

Well, it wasn’t cool that they got within 8 but then we ran them out of the building, which is very cool

And I think he gained 10 pounds waiting for the Finals to start.

Luka will cook anyone, but the fact Luka isn’t lightening quick like Mitchell or the Pacers Guards means Al can body up on Luka a bit more. Al got that grown man strength.

TEAM will always beat individuals
Great team effort on all fronts
Great defense, rebounding, spacing, passing. EVERYTHING

Props to JT and JB for their growth

KP and JRUE - man what additions

Let's go Celtics!!

Kyrie living up to his vintage 2019 Bucks series.
I thought he grew and learned to play as a team player.

If for much of the game they were trapping him or giving him extra attention.. I don't care how much Tatum scores just make the right play.. Getting 10 points but 15 assist will always be fine by me..

Game really hasn't helped my blood pressure but very happy how we responded to that inevitable Mavs suege in the third.

Need Jrue and Buffalo to he huge in these final 8 mins

Man, what a response by the C's!

Lead goes from 28 down to 8. It was not looking good there. Looked like we were gonna collapse and blow the lead.

Then we push the lead from 8 back up to 25.

Hell yeah !!

1-0 series lead.

1 down. 3 to go.

Yep. Somehow by the grace of god still excellent on the perimeter, especially against slower guards like you said.

Jaylen Brown is going to f**king level Lively in one of these games....like just TJ McConnel him, like a Rockem Sockem robot.

Their adjustments to focus more on the shooters would just free him more to go 1v1…. Mavs gotta pick their poison.

It's okay to admit he didn't play well lol. 5 turnovers to 5 assists. 15 points on 15 shots. He's gonna have to be MUCH better going forward
