Tatum was tired, but he kept attacking relentlessly

Mavs have no answers. Celtics won twice not even playing great.

KP stayed on the bench if I'm not mistaken so maybe it's not THAT bad? Trading for Jrue was a championship caliber trade. Brad Stevens should be the one to get finals MVP if/when we finish this!

I got Jrue VC and DWhite for CP. Everyone did what they were supposed to do. Good hard fought team victory!!!

Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jrue with 26 points and 11 boards... didn't expect that but stepping up big. Jaylen with some more big plays.

Tatum... at least he's helping to facilitate. Not sure what's ever going to ignite this guy.

2. MORE. WINS. TO. BANNER. 18. !.

JT is an OK choice by stat line and timely plays alike.

But I think he had a lot more defensive responsibility for Luka than White did, and Luka went off.

So: White.

Obviously, that's about CP, since Jrue should be unanimous for VC (excepting those who always vote Other).

If Joe wasn't a master at jujiltsu (and I wasn't such a wimp), I'd fight him right now. What are you doing letting KP run back and forth after he already fell and grimaced standing up? Call a timeout and pull him out!! I will fight the rest of the coaching staff too for not saying a word.

Jrue got it done

Don’t we all. Although he’ll have to father them because after that game I’m all spent.

Bob Myers hit the nail on the head. To build a team with players like White, Jrue, KP and Al around the Jays was perfect. Elite two-way players that can be trusted. Tatum just isn't that guy but he's still a great all-around player. The Celitcs need to adjust their offense and put White more on the ball the rest of the series.

Tatum isn't playing like garbage.

He is, however, scoring like garbage.

Agreed. Don't need anything there.

Jrue. What a massive upgrade over Smart. Let’s face it. If we shot this badly and still won, this series is all but over. Especially if we keep up the defensive intensity of these first two games. Really hope KP is ok though.

MapleRed · Post #57 » by **MapleRed** » Mon Jun 10, 2024 2:39 am

It's amazing we won this game w/ such horrible shooting. Jrue had a great game tonight and gets the VC!

Best defensive back court in the league!
Defense wins championships!

Honestly, they're not too shabby offensively either.

2 more!!

Jrue for VC and Tatum for CP. JT picked them apart and Dallas is clearly trying to not let him beat them.

flintsky21 · Post #60 » by **flintsky21** » Mon Jun 10, 2024 2:40 am

Jrue is truly godsend for this team. White with the big plays once again. People are gonna be critical of JT but this is probably the most aggressive I've seen from him in terms of taking the ball to the rim. He was the primary playmaker and did it well. JB with the painful TOs but made a couple of big plays down the stretch.

Not yet over. 2 more!

Who smokes the BIG FINALS CIGAR?
