Celtics are way fresher they stomped 3 garbage basically play in teams who were all injured to death (Indiana struggled to beat the Bucks minus Dame/Giannis). If they don't win this year they have to blow up the Tatum/Brown combo they have had the best supporting casts for ages now that any two other top 20 players would have won with.

The only way Boston gets into trouble if they go through the same crap that we went through that first big 3 year, when Bron was more worried about the finals MVP than trying to make sure we won. So if the media continues to play up that angle, maybe Tatum tries to take over more and they stop playing as a team.

Key highlight told to Woj, hiring is focused on "player development" and " beyond Lebron James" as a Laker

It's just the end of the first quarter but the Celtics are looking dominant.

Watching KP cook is making me want Mia to prioritize the pursuit of Markkaten.

I do not think Mavs have the personal to defend the Celtics. There is a matchup issue here. The Maves do not have elite perimeter defenders. They built their team to defend teams like Wolves and Nuggets.

I still dislike Luka as a basketball player. All I see is a white, right-handed James Harden lol.

Lowkey Celts becoming Jaylen Brown team. Tatum probably more talented. But Jaylen got more heart and plays with way more force & urgency when it matters

Hopefully Tatum goes full LeBron 2011 and chuck all shots in Game 2. You know his EGO won't take it when Jaylen Browns wins MVP again.
