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

Kawhi could barely walk when the Raptors won the championship but he looked totally fine on the court.

What do the Mavs get from "faking" an injury? It makes no sense.

Mavs role players + Irving look so overwhelmed by the moment it's ridiculous.

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 has been terrific, but by far, Jaylen Brown has been the MVP

Hard to believe Boston is actually ahead. Doesn't bode well for Dallas.

GSP wrote:The draft weaknesses of Jaysons athleticism despite his high skill level were spot on. He just has too many games where his relative mid athleticism compared to other wings in the league is very apparent. Hes prolly the 4th most athletic wing in this series. And if the 3s not falling he has major struggle scoring.

He has good athleticism. It is his strength that is issue. He isn’t driving to score, he is driving to pass, which is weird.

The way to beat Tatum is be physical, knock him off his line,

He is due for an explosion soon.

Tatum can look up to Kobe all he wants. He's clearly doesn't have that killer mentality.

The sad part he's been in this situation multiple times. He still plays like he's lost in the moment.

Patches Perry wrote:Boston's defense is just so impressive. One of the key traits of great modern teams compared to teams of the past is having guys on the court 1 through 5 who can guard and move their feet. Boston is the pinnacle of that right now.

That's true and it's probably the best defense type to cover most teams but this is also the type of defense that Denver wouldn't be stopped by. But now in the West you have defense built up to stop Denver.

Tatum needs a little floater. He’s beating the first man easy and the help is at the rim. A lot of open space in that mid range

Luka's pops looks like Robert DeNiro.

Super team

Outside of Luka, the Mavs haven't been shooting well at all. Dallas shooting with Shaq like efficiency from the ft line while turning the ball over a lot than the Celtics doesn't help either.

Also, for the Celtics Porzinigis is beasting again.

Luka hitting everything but his free throws

Yeah, Kyrie held it down while Luka sat. Someone else is going to have to step up for them though or they’re in trouble.

Luka hunting Tatum is an interesting strategy

Tatum has a shoegaze type of playstyle. He definitely has some of the narrowest court vision I've seen in terms of offense.

Who wins Game 2 of the NBA Finals?
