Funny. Lol

When we played the Mavs late in the RS I was talking to her that morning and said the C's were playing a good team that night and it would be a tough game. Then we whooped their butt and after the game she texted me "I thought they were supposed to be good hahahaha!"
So leading up to the Finals I've been telling her the Mavs are good and the Finals will be tough, but she wasn't buying it at all.
After the game last night she texted me, "Hahahahaehehe!!!! Doncic is a big turd!"
She should really be posting on this site lol.

Yeah & comparing KCP to Brown is just downright stupid & disrespectful.
KCP has won multiple championships?
Playing a key factor to actually win them.
KCP is a better defender
Better 3pt shooter
You can disagree that Brown is a worse overall player and that's fine. Obviously KCP never got to be a #2 option in a contender in his prime with a complete overall team that lets him have the green light.
KCP won in L.A and Denver
2 rings is more than 0
Have a great weekend

End of the day, Cs have more buttons to push on both ends. Brad really built a complete and super versatile team.

Dallas didn't get here by accident though, I do expect a tougher game. I'd be happy to be wrong.

Are you sure she doesn’t? “Doncic is a big turd” is definitely a post I’ve seen on this board.

The Celtics need to enter the court giving the Dallas Mavericks the absolute respect they deserve as finalists. Then, right from the jump, they need to proceed to make mincemeat out of them. Then form the mincemeat into lean little patties, and then throw the patties to the wolves*.
I think that's it.
*Irving's mincemeat can be thrown in the garbage instead (we're not here to poison any animals).

Well they did shoot very poorly from wide open threes (30.8% on 13) whereas we shot pretty normally (38.9% on 18) but even if you give them 38.9% they score 3 more points. This isn't like the Miami series where Miami shot damn near 60% from wide open threes. Also a full third of their threes were after 7 dribbles or more, on which they went 1-9. We had 31 catch and shoot threes and they had 13.
