The Brown - Tatum division discourse is going to be so funny to look back on after Kristaps wins FMVP

Luka might go for 50. Dude is scoring at will without even breaking a sweat.

Celtics really need to create some distance this early, as the game goes one the Mavericks are gaining the confidence needed and that's dangerous for Boston, who might be the lesser team in a close game.

Our offense and rim protection night and day w/ Kp and they cant guard him w/ their usual defensive strat of their guards and wings on centers and having Lively and Gafford protect the paint. If they put Lively or Gafford on Kp then its the red sea in the paint and wed get anything we want inside. Kp has been our most impactful player so far by a good amount

KP visibly changes the game. Between the spacing, the defense/rim protection and I swear-to-GOD he is the only guy on the Celtics who shoots in the mid range.

Luka is the most efficient earthbound scorer of all time.

Love to see Exum pushing the pace early. By the time the rest of the Celtics got back on defense he had taken the ball almost all the way into the locker room.

Offball screens are getting Luka space to work or a switch against Pritchard.

My only issue with Luka why the nonsense with the fake injury before games?

He's moving like he can barely walk. Then when the game stars he's healed smh

Probably because they can't expect to win this game with zero transition buckets. Look at that possession just now with Kyrie. They're basically playing one-on-one with Luka and Kyrie and zoning everyone else.

Celtics comfortably kept pace with the Mavs for the whole first quarter without Tatum scoring a single point. The depth of talent on this Celtics team continues to amaze me.
