Celtics are playing with a borderline disrespectful lack of focus, yet somehow effortlessly keeping up with the Mavs.

I’m not sure about this Kleiba thing if he isn’t shooting

Give the ball to your best player who is a top scorer and also your best at creating shots for others?

Good luck winning that way. This the Finals. It's going to take more than Luka to beat this deep Celtics team.


Yes, but mostly defense and making free throws.

I wouldn't go that far but it's been a joke that people ever mentioned this dude as a top 5 player. Heck, I still hear some people mention that lol

Boston's style is extremely vulnerable to a physical type team. Luckily for them, there isn't a team like that currently.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

The Celtics playing stupid yet still winning the game.

My goodness stop playing through Tatum. He's just forcing stuff at this point. Brown should be running the offense.

you guys are thinking Kidd is trolling about his best player comments when he's just watching the damn games he's coaching lol. There's no conspiracy.

Talent discrepancy is pretty large. Mavs role players lack maturity on this stage to realize how important each possession is.

I'm still seeing a lot of nerves from the team in general. But they're hanging in there. Hope they settle in in the second half

I wouldn't say Tatum's terrible. He's been bad scoring, part of it has to do with Mavs' defensive focus on him. But he's making the right plays, plays for his team, and he's still playing defense. His head is still in the game despite his offensive struggles. He's not gonna get 25/28 tonight, but he doesn't have to with this team.
