The Celtics have four two-way guards and wings. Most teams have two at most.


Doesn’t change that Luka can’t defend a cone.

If we win this series and the averages from our players continue like this they might just need to give Brad Stevens the Fmvp :lol: :lol:

1. Luka
2. Celtics
3. Rest of the Mavs

Give Luka 1 of Jrue or White and he wins this series.


Instead of Kyrie?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

3-15 from three and Tatum played terrible. I'll take the 3 point halftime lead.

tatum is a total headcase at this point. that's not a shot a guy passes up unless he's totally overthinking his entire existence.

Doncic has to play incredible for the Mavs to be in this. Tatum can play like trash and the Celtics can still win.

Boston comfortably with the lead.

Dallas is not playing good. They dont resemble themselves.

Tatum 8 assists. Mostly making the right play. Missed a few he usually makes. People will hate on him but I’d rather him pass to the open man than try force a contested shot.

Kidd is a mad genius. The dude knows what he’s doing. He’s the smartest PG in the history of the league

He's on fire on offense but his defense has been even more horrific than usual. Barely even giving minimal effort to stay in front of anyone lmao. What a joke.

Luka exploded and the Mavs down 3.

The scary part the Celtics are playing bad and still winning. Not a good sign for the Mavs.

Everything just comes so easy for the Celtics. They have mismatches all over the floor. The only way Dallas wins this series is if Luka & Kyrie both go nuclear together in 4 games.
