If you had to put 1M dollars on the winner of the NBA Finals who would you pick?
Mavs. Tatum isn't close to luka
I don't endorse gambling, much less sports gambling. But if we talking 1M grains of rice, I would pick the Mavs in 6. Luka and Ky are on a mission.
@@dirtymondo😯😯
@@TheOkThxI don’t hate this at all 😅
@@dirtymondo Tatum is taller than Luka. 6'7 vs 6'10. Yeah right!
The take is true. Celtics are a better team. I still feel Mavs could do it
Facts 🔥
Celtics in 4
Boston Strong. Boston has 8 players that can score over 20 points at any time. All of them can hit the 3 ball. Nite nite dallas
@@robertprice5343Who the fuck cares? Mavs have defenders to make life difficult for each and every one of them. Offensively Lukai not gonna back down
@@alvin6879 celtics starting 5 are all elite defenders. Luka will be unstoppable, but the rest of the Mavs can be delt with. Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and Pritchard can all defend off ball very well, so Kyrie can be defended.
I think it’s hilarious when we went 0-2 in close games against the nuggets in the regular season people said we wouldn’t stand a chance, but when we beat the Mavs 2-0 in the regular season it all of a sudden doesn’t matter. Goal post moving at its finest from the haters.
Goal post moving from Luka and Jokic fanboys.
Im a Boston fan but this Mavericks are not even close to the ones the Celtics played in the regular season
@@jamespark3134As a Mavs fan, I hope Dallas wins but I wouldnt mind much if Boston wins
@kesenaememere8520 Probably youre black American meat rider and 100% you are crying because Freethrow merchant and puppies lost
@@SloMagicANTIlgbt yeah both teams deserve to be in the finals
I think it's gonna be a tough series, but i don't see them preventing mavs from scoring. As soon as you need help on luka its an open 3, lob to lively/gaff or fake/step back... there is also irving, and their defense... boston might get cold when they're defended like mavs have been def4nding so far
there also the possiblity of mavs getting injuries considering the celtic's luck, guess thats why they have a clover
Can't disagree but I feel Luka is the game changer in this series. He will lead the Mavs W!
You are right on this take. I have the Celtics winning in 5
Yeah, I just think that the Celtics are an all-round better team. But I’m not 100% confident because they have choked in the past
I don’t blame you for feeling way. But these previous teams didn’t have a season like this particular one and up to this point they have delivered. So I’ll trust them one more series. I have a feeling they will be just fine. ☘️🥷
@@Musika809We will find out I think game 1 might win the series tbh
All of these reasons are true; but they don't have Luka. Mavs win.
@@FtwSportsHovelYes Luka is an unbelievable talent, but this isn’t an individual sport, it’s a team sport. And the Celtics have a better overall team.
If your gameplan is to "Give Luka issues', you've already lost. Many have tried... all have failed.
Celtics winning guy
@@observedot7490
I'm not saying the Mavs are definitely going to win. I'm saying, Luka is going to get his.
Name one player who has ever slowed Luka down with any kind of regularity.
You can't double Luka, you can't stop him, and you can't just let him go neither. You just have to put your best guy on him and hope that Luka just goes for 30,9, and 9.
If the Celtics want to win, they have to make their 3's, and they need to win the battle in the paint. It's simple as that.
There's no faster way to fail against the Mavericks than to sink too many resources into the fools' errand that is "stopping Luka."
Luka will get his, but lose. You know why? Role players. Mavs role players will struggle mightily.
@@francowanta6880 - Mavs have much better depth past the top 2 on each team. Jones, Green, Washington are ready to feast. Super athletic. Look how Green played Edwards in the WCFs. He's a beast and knows how to get his opponent out of his comfort zone. Mavs in 5.
@@Physics_Dude Dude, Celtics have Jrue, White, Horford and KP. Don’t tell me Mavs have better role players
Mate, you literally said three weeks ago that the Thunder would beat the Mavericks. Just wait and see how the finals go before you start predicting things.
thing is shai doesnt have a Jaylen brown on his team yet, they are still a young developing teams, celtics have been through enough trials and tribulations
with that being said i agree, just let it playout but its part of the game man just opinions at the end if the day everyone can have their own as long as they dont try to sound like they're know it alls😂😂
It’s not much of a prediction if he makes it after the games have been played.
@@milidagoat1630 the thing is you weren't making this excuse before they met. Now that OKC lost you're quick to make excuses like Shai doesn't have help. Just admit you were wrong and you don't know ball
@@KrisFer269 wtf are you talkin' about, he has teammates it literally looked like young age/ no experience was a big factor and shai didnt have his #2 performing to his max capabilities😂aka J dub. I have alot of love for chet shai and jdub so stop the fucking nonsense, i think atp and time everyone can agree they dont have a jaylen brown player AT THIS POINT AND TIME. J DUB i have NO DOUBT will comeback and fill this role next year crazy as well as chet, but they clearly lacked experience.
Honestly, there's a fairly high chance, the Mavs give up the 1st game, but there's equally a very low chance, Luka and Ky give up 4 games to the Celtics in the finals. Kyrie was here before. And Jkidd is superb at adjustments in the playoffs.
Personally I believe if the Celtics don’t crumble under the pressure they will win the series
@@basketballreach Mavs in 6
All the non-believers! Luka does love to be the underdog!
True that’s the reason I could still see the Mavericks winning
Not only does he love it, he hasn't known it any other way since he was a teenager. Even if the Mavis lose the final, I'm pretty sure it would still be a win for his career.
@ClimateDS Losing in the Finals is NEVER a win. The West is stacked and there’s no guarantee Luka or the Mavs get back.
@@RittenhousesRifle This Mavs team (starters and rotation) has only been playing together as a starting unit for under 20 games. They are just now finding their groove.
The Celtics are obviously the underdog if you listen to the press and everything else. They basically had an easy run down to injury and played against way worst teams because they are in the eastern conference. Also No one believes in the J’s as a duo. Me on the other hand I believe the C’s will shock the world and finally get that chip!
No matter how good ur defense is, you get screened, so then it's Horford on Luka, Mavs run like 500 pick and rolls negating these great 1 on 1 defenders.
That’s easy to beat. You flop on the screens and make them look illegal
@@nathanaelrussell5183 another stupid human being😂
Luka and Irving will make the difference as they have been doing..
They bucks stops here, Celtics are not wasting time and energy. Celtics sweep
🤡🤡🤡🤡
😂😂😂
Oh you dropped a 📌. Also finally someone who thinks the Celtics will win with me
Celtics Sweep
@mosescastro9545 nah. celtics in 5 or 6.
Celtics team has been stacked for a while.
Meanwhile, the Mavs have been counted out and the media has discredited the Mavs since day one.
Celtics got no media coverage during the playoffs… why is that you say, because all the teams they played sucked. Half of the Heats roster was injured, Cavs with the same issues, Pacers… with the same issues…
Now, the Mavs have the media on the D-Ride train.
This channel is underrated
I have the Cs in 6 as well. I see them dropping one of their home games, but also winning one on the road.
Cs are always going to give away one game in a series lol hopefully its only one
If Dallas wins, Doncic will get all the credit, if they lose, Kyrie will be the scapegoat.
FACTS 💀💀
1. The top defensive team, Minnesota, didn't matter so you think being 3rd best will? Solid logic. Then you contradict yourself by pointing out Luka had a monster triple-double against those same defenders.
2. Boston did beat Dallas twice. Before the trade and then less than a month after it. Dallas still struggled with the top 4 teams in the West until the playoffs. Where they've consistently gotten better each round against 3 top-4 West teams.
3. Yes. Boston will be rocking but OKC was as well. Any fan taunting towards Luka has only backfired thus far. Obviously the Boston crowd had no effect on Luka's monster triple-double right?
4. Yes Dallas is still jelling but we all notice they are steadily improving each series as the opponents get tougher. This also plays against Boston since this Dallas team will be a different one than they've played because of that improvement.
5. Luka, Kleber and Lively have been their only injuries. Kleber and Lively are back and obviously Luka is past his early round injury struggle as evidenced by his numerous triple-doubles in his past seven games. Plus Porzingus would be coming back after a long layoff and we see how that worked out for Kawhi. Suggesting Dallas is only an injury away while ignoring the Celtics are too is disingenuous and silly.
Boston may, and really should beat Dallas, but for none of the reasons you listed. If they take care of home court advantage by being able to better counter what Dallas throws at them, then they will win the championship.
Minnesota's defense is more team orientated when they come together they are elite Boston on the other hand has individual players that can guard almost anybody. Two all NBA defensive players and the rest are great defenders.
And they have already shown they are capable of slowing down or completely shutting down kyrie they did it for 4 games in a row in the playoffs when they played brooklyn and swept them.
Celtics are overall the better team and the favorites to win if they come out and dont play with there food they should win this if they make it hard for themselves thats whats going to give dallas the edge
@jasiribandele5601 The 4-time DPOY and McDaniel's on 2nd team all defense are just "team oriented?" That's what you're suggesting?
Not to mention, Dallas has already eliminated an all NBA player in Shai, plus two 2nd team all NBA as well. Goebert was also third team all NBA.
The Mavs took down the top West team with Kyrie barely scoring in multiple games, so that's nothing new.
Again, I'm not disagreeing that Celtics should win. Just not for the reasons you stated.
White is too small to guard Luka. As is Holiday. Brown should end up on Luka because he has the size. Boston won't win with defense. They'll need to outscore Dallas imo. Like in the 120's.
@@Mike_Daddy well one boston has the number 2 highest scoring offensive in the nba and is first with offensive team rating so outscoring dallas wont be hard
@@Mike_Daddy And yes there team oriented as a defense the starting five Mcdaniels is the only one who can guard all 1 through 4 maybe even weaker 5s.
Rudy is just a rim protector he cant guard the perimeter, he gets his blocks from help defense and roaming hes not a on ball defender. Reason being why some many guards will come out and say there not scared of Rudy in the paint.
Ant is a good defender mainly because of his energy and the rest of them just feed off each other. The only one who can individual guard somebody on a island is Mcdaniels.
Boston like I said the whole starting 5 can individually lock somebody up on a island/by themselves. It aint nun wrong to have a team oriented defense that feeds off each other im just sayin timberwolves number 1 defense is completely different than boston defense. Boston is going to give dallas more trouble on defense than the timberwolves will you'll see.
The Celtics don’t have any more excuses. They’ve been here too many times, and their roster is even better now.
If they lose This One ...
Who said Celtics are using excuses?
Still top winner in NBA #banner18
they've been here only twice this is the second time lmaoo
🍀☘️🍀
You watch and learn after the finals I hope you can make video like this when Dallas take championship rings
Everyone saying celtics has better defence then timberwolves while celtics conceded 110+ pts in 3/4 games against pacers😂😂😂 u guys cant be real
Pacers was number 1 rated offense in the playoffs n all year
Thanks 🤣
I feel like it will be 6 to 7 games because the Mavericks did expose the timberwolves defense
Well their defense was built to stop the nuggets not the mavericks
Celtics have a way better defence then the timberwolves
@@32zoburisk ik still think the celtics will win as a mavs fan but its not guarrenteed, nothing is certain in the playoffs, so a chance
Timberwolves burned out they didn’t have anyone who could guard Luka Boston knows how to play Luka
Don't kid yourself. Basketball is considered entertainment. They're legally allowed to rig the outcome of the game, so don't think one team's winning off of their play dallas through the game tonight
If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner this season 💪🔥💪
Blah, blah, blah. Celtics beat 3 Eastern Conference sub-50 win teams in the playoffs. Mavs beat 3 of the top 4 teams in the Western Conference playoffs. Dallas is underdog for the 4th time now. It’s cool.
Wolves got obliterated and they have the #1 defense in the league. Gobert, Kawhi, Pat Bev, Jaren Jackson, PG, Dort, McDaniels, have all tried for 6 years to guard Luka and they've all failed.
What is Celtics defense gonna do? What's little White and Holiday gonna do? Lmaoo I wish these RUclipsrs would have to place a bet everytime they post a prediction video so they lose money for every dumb take they make.
The thing is they dont need to stop him to win this series. Assign someone his size like JB to guard him and run the offense through JT and KP. Boston has too many good shooters for dallas to guard.
I mean to be fair I don’t think the Celtics game plan has necessarily been to stop Luka ( you can’t 😂) that was something the Wolves learned the hard way. But Luka has gotten a triple double both times he played the Celtics and Mavs still lost so, unless Mavs other players step up… I can definitely see Celtics winning the whole thing.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
What is white and Holliday gonna do ? Bro you a 🤡🤡🤡 they spanked the Mavs so bad they didn't even show up
Imma get a response outta you
Mavericks are gonna put up a fight they’ve been playing sound basketball. If porzingis is close to 100 the Celtics spacing will be better but the mavs are still a team to watch out for . Coming from a Celtics fan
Which version of Jrue Holiday showing up will be a major factor
2021 NBA Finals version
or
2023 NBA Eastern Conference First Round version.
Huge factor also for sure
Everyone knows this is probably the case, but almost nobody outside of Celtics fans wants them to win
Very true 🤣🤣🤣
I got Boston in 6
Yeah or maybe 7 this series definitely goes at least 6 games
Facts after 16 years we going to win a championship everyone hates the Celtics because they are jealous that their team isn't in the playoffs!
😭😭😭😭😭
None of those opponents you showed are on the same level as this Mavericks team. You point is moot.
I’m ur 1000th sub congrats bro 🎉
Thanks man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would not question kyrie x luka duo remember how my guy luka destroyed phony mj 😹
💀💀💀
All good things must come to an end. MAVS IN 7 😊
Jaylen Brown ENTER his 1st YEAR PRIMES 💪🔥💪
Without KP Boston will still win this series in 6. 5 of the 6 gms will be nail bitters. ☘️☘️☘️☘️
Can also mention Lukas 12-30 from the field (40%) and 2-8 from 3 without KP cause he doesn’t play back to backs like hortford
This is why jaylen brown won the east finals mvp, he’ll be guarding luka this series.
You bring up KP bad game 2 vs the Heat but do not mention his bounce back game in Game 3 which he scored 18 points on 5-9 shooting and shot 3-5 from 3 and had 2 blocks and a steal and played great D on Bam.
Celtics in 5 or 6 with KP & Al healthy, or in 6 or 7 without one of those bigs. If Sam hits 3’s reliably this thing is over sooner. See JT having 1 or more triple doubles, more double doubles. C’s playoff basketball begins to show up in the Finals.
I don't hate this but Dallas are a better team than you are giving credit for
CRAZY that he's only 19 year old 😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😅😅😅😂🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I’ll just left my comment here, for when things happen.
Celtics about to experience North Korea. Disneyland is over.
Do yaself a favor big dog , dont speak when men talk ... 😂
🤡🤡🤡
Abundance of two way players who are unselfish and very high IQ.
Defense will be evened out it will come down to consistency and mind frame
1 Celtics don't have an answer for ths mavs lob threats
2 The regular season is what it is the regular season lol, the wolves clippers and thunder got the head to head matchup over the mavs and look where they're at
Luka Lobs are glorious! If they can do it against Towns and Gobert, they can easily take it to Porzingis. Old man Horford is gonna be gassed.

Wait...the Celtics are behind the wolves in defense? Yet the mavs just shredded the wolves in game 5 and you still undermine Luka???
Wait, but the celtics just took down the best offense in League, and the celtics are top three offense and defense

😂🤦♂️wolves thirst defence in the NBA did not work against Mavs. For some reason each team Dallas faced had best defensive plaуer in the league😂
It was just a bad matchup
☘️🍀☘️🍀☘️🍀
Same. I also think the Celtics will win this 4-2.
what if i told you jrue holiday defensive rating was the worst out of the starting 5
1. 109.7 porzingis
2. 111.9 tatum
3. 113.6 white
4. 114.1 jaylen
5. 114.3 jrue
crazy i know with all the praise he gets but he does always make a clutch defensive play.
You can't just look a one analytic and come to a conclusion Jrue is a winner and plays elite defense every possession
Everything looks good on paper until the game starts. Let's just see how the first 6 games go and make a guess.
The series might be over by then though 💀
Well dallas can dismantle the defense of any team. But I dont know about fast pace offense
..all of that being said
Mavs in 5
I got the Celtics ☘️ in 6. I don’t underestimate the mavs tho and especially Luka but the Celtics have a better and deeper team.
Its revenge time for Kyrie😤
Just watched game one, Dallas is going to lose, Celtics are just too good in every position and Porzingis puts them over the top. It could go quick, 5 games, it's not going 7.
Idk Luka and Kyrie won’t play that bad again and if Dallas can just get some more rim runs going they have a real chance still
@@basketballreach hehehe! I can see you're a basketball savant! There's no one more overrated than Kyrie Irving, just look at his career. One championship in 14 years with LeBron in his prime, ...even I could play the point and win with that!
This aint gonna age well.. guaranTEED!
🤣🤣🤣
Do yourself a favor big dog and dont speak when men are talking😂
You are not stopping Luka and Kyrie the only chance you have is not to double any of them and for your fans to play nice with Kyrie and not insult him, also for players to be real nice and friendly with the Mavs too, and then you maybe have a chance
... but, as you Know ... there's No Chance in That ... Polite Boston Fans ... LMFAO ...
Kyrie deserves what he gets. Wait till he leaves yall after taking L this season. But it's not leaving but disrespecting Celtics logo, they will make sure to trigger his spiral downwards
@@bryanfox6726 Well Luka feeds off that and if they make him mad, well then we're gonna see some fun basketball
Celtics are going to slow them down, Kyrie is gonna choke and Luka is gonna look average Boston ain't playing no more. They're not wasting time or energy on the Mavs. Boston for the sweep Mavs may steal 1 game that's it.
@@mosescastro9545 Right. Celtics Defense will be Punished ... They ain't slowin' LuKai Down ... Only Hope is make many, many, many 3's ... or, more to the point ... shoot lights out pull up mid-range after run off the line ...
☘️ Celts in 7
🔥🔥🔥
Mavs gonna lose to OKC cause they're the number 1 seed, Mavs gonna lose to Clips cause they got 4-All stars and 3 MVPS, Mavs gonna lose to Wolves because they got Cantman and they have the #1 defense in the league.
Dort, Gobert, McDaniels, Kawhi, PG, Chet, Pat Bev, Jaren Jackson are gonna lock up Luka. Each one of them tried and each one failed. We've heard it all before yet every single one of those predictions failed..
MAVS in 3
We will see
#2 is your reason lmao bruh Josh green started Thj played 30 min gafford barely played Djj barely played yet you keep showing this games that don’t matter especially with maxi healthy lively and gafford lol
MVAS IN 5 In won’t be close
I have Mavs in 5 also. So funny they think this Mavs team is the same team they played during the regular season. If we keep this team together (every key player is signed except Jones for the next 2 years after this season), we may see multiple finals appearances and several rings.
Dallas is going to absolutely destroy Boston in the paint. KP will get hurt by game 4 mark my words. P.s. Holiday DOES NOT guard Luka well 😂😂 at all
Celtics Sweep
The second reason is the regular season? They played the mavs right after the trade deadline…totally different team now
Fake Wanna-be Kobe vs The 2nd coming of Larry Bird? Come on man. Mavs in 6.
📌
Larry Bird??? 😂😂😂 Where's his 3 rings 3 MVPs? Correction Celtics in 6 🍀
Celtics Sweep
luka when gaurded by jaylen brown was 4-10 shooting
Regular season though they will probably use Jrue as the main defender
@@basketballreach that’s a good point but for me honestly I would just put jrue on Kyrie and Jaylen on luka put kp on Derek jones, tatum on livley or gafford so you can switch pick & role plus have kp as a Romeor
Celtics in 4!
Nah in 4? 😭😭😭
The question I want to know is who is Luka and Kyrie stopping?🤔
👀👀👀
5 reasons why boston will win the nba championship
2000''s era +
1. netrtg was 11.7 (1st) teams are 7-0 since,
2. A 5th seed has not won the nba finals
3. dallas netrtg was 2.1 (15th) only teams with a net rating 8 or lower have won the chip
4. boston has both a top 3 defense and top 3 offense and are in the finals, only twice
5. boston has three 20 point scorers in there starting lineup & are in the finals, only trio is the curry/klay/durant they won 2 rings
dallas could win & praise luka+kyrie duo but you going to need the supporting cast to really step up & dallas has to rewrite history that has gone for more than a decade, its possible so good luck.
Now u keep saying holiday will give Luka problems , when he could not even stop Luka in reg season , so make up уour mind bro
luka and kyrie vs 6 guys that can give you 25 plus i got boston
@@kevinroberts9630 who can give you 25 plus ? :DDD non of them average 25 :DDD and not against Mavs defence , will see when mavs will drive Tatum and JB to the paint where Lively or Gafford will be waiting, Pj can give you 29 he did it twice vs OKC Lively and Gafford play 20 minutes each can give you 15 with 5-7 blocks , flight 55 can jump over everyones heads , i am telling you this Mavs team have 4 very very athletic bigs and then Luka is a big boy and Kleber big too, Hardy gave good game , Gafford and Lively shoot almost 100% with Lukas playmaking , i dont see how Boston play in the paint , if Mavs somehow can stop thews 3s then Boston fcked
Make up your mind, my guy. In another comment you said the Celtics’ wins against the Mavericks in regular season don’t matter but now Holiday “could not even stop Luka” matters in regular season? You can’t have it both ways: choose one
Still…I don’t think people realize just how good Luka doncic truly is at the game of basketball. I literally even to this day think that he is underrated…crazy, almost scary to think about. Mavs in 5
Damn in 5?
Yup, too true. Celtics in 6
Saying the Mavs win is the extent of saying the Warriors lose to Cavs in 2017. The Celtics are almost as good as the 17 Warriors and the Mavs are just as mid as the Cavs. Saying the Mavs will beat the Celtics is the extent of saying the Warriors would’ve lost to the Cavs in 17. You could argue that the Warriors added Durant and got better but the Celtics added Porzingis and got wayyyy better. Plus, while people will say the Celtics choke, the Warriors lost the finals the previous year and then added an elite player to make them better, which is the same as the Celtics.
Mavs mid? Not sure in what season are you in buddy... celtics looked so mid against pacers (didnt watch other series)
@@ivanvidovic1277 Three things:
1. Sure, the Celtics may have looked mid against the Pacers, but the Mavs looked super mid against the Twolves (who DID NOT play well), requiring game winners and comebacks.
2. I saw this thing online where the Celtics are treating their current opponents (not Mavs, just other 3) like it’s a regular season game since why would they play super hard against teams that won’t give them that much trouble? They’ll step it up against the Mavs lol
3. All 3 teams that the Mavs played against all played mid-bad (and Clippers were missing Kawhi), so it’s not like they were playing amazing or anything. You can say the Mavs had a challenge to the finals and the Celtics didn’t but that means nothing to me since the 80s Lakers always had a cakewalk to the finals and would win anyway
@@nobodybelievesunderscores4122 bro you're delusional. There is no way this average Celtic team is even close to the 2017 Warriors (who played in a much better conference). I hate the Warriors. But please don't ignore reality.
@@Physics_Dude did you seriously have the audacity to call this Celtics team "average" despite their net rating being the 3rd highest all-time (+11.7, 17 Warriors was +11.6)? Let me tell you about a stat on basketball
reference. There's something on basketball reference called SRS (Simple Rating System) which takes your MOV (Margin of Victory) and Strength of Schedule (SOS) and puts them into one single stat, and SRS basically tells you how many points you'd beat the league average team by. The Celtics SRS is the 5th highest all-time (+10.74) and the Warriors is 4th all-time (+11.35). So you can call me delusional, but the facts just show that they're the 4th and 5th best regular season teams ever. Also, for the Mavs-Cavs comparison, the Cavs SRS was 2.87 and the Mavs is 2.32. So picking the Mavs would be like picking the Cavs in 17
@@nobodybelievesunderscores4122 bruh they played bad bcs mavs played good what are you on i want some. Celtics played bad bcs they were chill thats true so they are without serious practice for like a month now
Luka and Kyrie will get their points but just like the previous games Celtics will dominate the games.
👀👀👀
mavs in 9 i truly believe all the Nostradamus here in the comment section
there will be no winner with a game, they will have to toss a coin - 4 wins :)
5:15 Celtics have a subpar home record??? 37-4 regular season? 2 playoff home losses and one of them the Heat had to break a record 😂
In the post season over the last 5 seasons it has not been good it was like 19-20 coming into these playoffs
Minnesota would beat Boston but i'm not sure about the Dallas.
That Minnesota team we saw in the WCF would not but the one vs Denver would
Gang Green
Porzingis didn’t underperform at all in the playoffs this year
If JT steps up like a true super star Celtics will definitely win. 4th Quater he shouldn't take a step back to anyone. Im not saying jack up shots but stop disappearing
This is very true Tatum got to rise and meet the moment
The Celtics shouldn’t be the favorites unless Porzingis is healthy

@@kevinroberts9630 They had an all nba defender in McDaniels and the DPOY? Are you okay bud?

@@VB_Bryan just wait till the 5 out offense dismantles you guys
What are you considering a subpar home record? 6-2? I don't know if I would call that subpar.
Over the last 5 seasons they have been barely 500
@@basketballreach I would argue that this is a different team who had the best home record in the league this year but I understand what you're saying.
Oh yeah for sure but at the end of the day Tatum and Brown are still the best 2 players on the team only role players have changed
@@basketballreach yeah I get it. They aren't the same players either but I know what the perception is. It's not always legitimate but until they win, it's not changing. It's like how Tatum is seen as inconsistent because of what's happened the past couple of years even though he twisted his ankle last year and he had a fractured wrist in the conference finals and the finals the year before but until he comes through the perception isn't going to change.
Funny how same people say Cs are the same team from 2 years ago and that Mavs are not the same team since before the trade. Can't defend both claims.
Like this comment if you like " BASKETBALL"
Celtics' Offense is leagues above Wolves.
And their defense is also worse then wolves + they didnt face a single good team entire playoff while mavs beat 3 top4 teams in west
@@ivanvidovic1277 Heat faced way more difficult opponents last year than the Nuggets.
@@ivanvidovic1277 Lol, I know it’s just Game 1 and the series far from over but that Game 1 got you a little spooked didn’t it?
@@blue-phoenix115 holy shit you came back xdd HAHAHAHHAHAABAHA and not really. Did you watch the game?

CELTICS BANNER 18
👀👀
aint no way the celtics beat luka
We will see
you must be stoned
Mavs in 5 brother
@@atticustexas9239 i would go mavs in 6 bro
@@atticustexas9239 - Mavs in 5 also. Only win for the C's will be game 2.
But wolves defeated mavs twice
Once
The copium is unmatched. Mavs in 6.
I would try Tatum on Luka first. Because, of his length. But, even if Luca scores 35 per game the Celtics should still win because of 2 through 5. Celtics in 6. Maybe, 5 if things click.
The only thing with using Tatum on Luka is foul trouble and lack of energy for offence I would go with Jaylen Brown for Holiday with Tatum for a couple possessions here and there
The Mavericks will come back in Game 2 and beat the Celtics in 6 games.
Damn 👀
