That was regular season🤣 if we're going on teams that the Celtics lost to regular season, we need to discuss who the Celtics beat also. The Mavs are in that conversation twice. You can't pick and choose.
For the Boston Celtics, it's a no-win situation. The team can't catch a break with these sports analysts. They seem to forget that the Indiana Pacers had the top offense in the NBA, averaging 123.3 points per game.
Jrue is still good but he’s past his prime and Kyrie is still in his. He’s a mini Kobe and he’ll eventually figure Jrue out and score at will. Luka is the same. He can figure out anyone.
He right. People underrate the Cs. The Celtics have by far the best defensive flexibility against the Mavericks, and the Mavs can't guard the Celtics. I think they are more dangerous than people relize.
I agree they have FIVE dudes who can all give you 20 a night consistently. Kyrie and Luka are awesome but the fire power of the Celtics is just too much.

I’m a mavs fan and I think if the mavs win it’d be in 6 games but I’m not really confident.. Celtics are the favorite but Luka is a generational talent.
I think this is the Celtics year, they match up super well against the Mavs. They are nearly as good as the Wolves defensively and twice as good as the Wolves on offense. Luka will have to have an insane finals.
To think you’d believe yall have anyone to stop Jayson Tatum AND Jaylen Brown 😂 Celtics are probably winning our 1st 2 at home. . And if we do go another 1-1 at home , we always play well on the road . I don’t want to say sweep but, good luck!

Lu Dort and Jayden McDaniels were both supposed to have the size length and speed to guard him and aren't all that active on the offensive end so they can conserve energy for Defense. IT DOESNT MATTER. Luka can and will find a way to get an advantage.

This series will come down to Coaching. Which team can exploit the matchups the best, and even adjust. Boston has more offensive players that can play both ends. Dallas has unpredictable offensive players and exceptional defense, and a deeper bench.
Deeper bench?? Ur funny dude..who are dallas bench.i dont even know the players name off the of dallas..while celtics have the 3 best 3pts shooter in the league..al,sam and pritchard..u dont know what u r talking about buddy..stop it

Yeah he’s trippin when saying that Luka who will be the best player on the floor doesn’t have a chance ? Like the Celtics are a good team but they aren’t the warriors with kd lol people keep comparing them trust me the warriors with kd would slaughter this Celtics team… and Luka and kyrie feel like they are built and ready for this… I think it’ll be good games tbh but I got mavs in 6-7
And them 2 boys choke year after year lol while The 2 in Dallas scare teams in big moments. It seems to me that Dallas is just meant to get this one, I cant see those 2 killers getting this close and not going crazy.
@@Yeshuaspupileasy to say that when Luka has never played this far and kyrie has been embarrassed by the Celtics recently….Luka is the best player but he ain’t winning….the mavs are a easy matchup for Boston
I'm routing for Tatum / KP in the Finals and this is facts. Ain't no way they would beat that Warriors squad. Curry, Klay, Draymond, Boogie, KD, the super deep bench. Probably the best team of all time tbh.
Tatum and Brown had a cake walk to the finals knicks could've gave them a challenge but we're hit by injuries,Dallas has had competition they are the tougher team I see Dallas being able to close it out in 6
was stupid to bet against Luka when he was alone, now it is even more stupid to bet against Luka and Kyrie in his prime, and Mavs bigs and what will happen if PJ will drop 29 points again , Mavs bigger and more athletic team too
@@finneganmurray7331 if Luka dont have it then Tatum and Brown dont have it even more , then no player in the league have it as Luka best player in the world. them two chokers will choke once again mark my words nothing to talk about them two .
Luka- Jaylen matchup up favors Jaylen. Luka is TIRED and not in the shape jaylen is in. And no shot he can stay with Jaylen defensively. Kyrie-jrue same situation. Non factor defensively and jrue will stay right with him defensively. There’s a reason the celts are such heavy favorites. The mavs are possibly the easiest matchup we could have had. Denver and Minnesota both would have been much harder matchups.
@cvgodd1432 pretty sure luka had two 30 point triple doubles in those games...pretty sure gafford and pj wasn't there for the first one...pretty sure gafford only played 6 mins in second game...and thj was getting heavy mins lol
Both teams recognize and respect each other the media don't. These analysts and media are just there to ruin it and let the fan base throw rocks and bs. Competition and entertainment is there but the NBA should also be a brand of sportsmanship and chivalry.
Finally someone spitting facts about this. Celtics have been disrespected like mad by all of these prisoners of the moment. Literally faulting Boston for not having any competition that’s close to their level. All these Boston haters are going to be awfully quiet very soon
Noone has talked about dallas until the end of this season. I've been a mavs fan for about 20 yrs and this is the most media they've gotten in a decade.
I’m a Celtics fan but i love the Mavs as my second favorite team since the German part of me just loved Dirk and what he did… but I am ALL IN for banner 18. Idc who wins 2,3,4 years from now… but Boston is starving for banner 18. I think this particular team is the one to do it. The narrative was we blow out teams and can’t win close games… well that narrative is shot after the pacers series. KP coming back makes it unfair, but Boston still wins without him. Can’t wait for the Tatum haters to get that wake up call. I just have a weird feeling he’s going to average crazy numbers in this series.
Celtics win this in 5. The matchups are bad for them. Holiday, White, Brown or some of the best permitter defenders in the game. Tatum is pretty solid too. The big factor though is Porzingis and Horford can shoot the 3 and space the floor bringing Gafford and Lively out from the basket. But, I suspect Holiday/White will guard Kyrie primarily and Brown will get on Luka mainly with some Tatum and maybe even Brissett. Boston wins this in 5.
Bro sometimes a team or even fighters hit a stride and you just feel like its meant to happen and this feels like that. Plus the Celtics 2 stars are know to choke under pressure while the Dallas 2 are known to get better.
Luka is the best player in a Dallas and Boston series? Really? These guys don’t watch Basketball. The two best players in that series are Jayson and Tatum!
All I see are people picking Dallas and saying how the Cs are overrated, haven’t been tested, are chokers… when the Cs finally win we are going to see these same people cry about how they were “supposed” to win. “Brown Tatum holiday porzingis white horford…of course they should win…” is what they will say I can already see it.
Mavericks have good, underrated young bigs, Celtics do not have a good athletic big. For the finals, injuries often are key. Celtics have banged up centers in KP and Kornet. KP has not played since April 29. Dallas have players with nagging injuries: (Lively---neck, Kleber---shoulder, Prosper---ankle). And Doncic is listed questionable with knee injury.
Celtics are way tougher and deeper than Dallas. Also Dallas is a plays slow, and holds the ball a lot in Luka’s hands. Celtics can play fast and much more aggressive which Dallas cannot defend against. Brown will get a lot of easy fast break points. Also, Boston absolutely destroyed a healthy Kyrie and KD a few years ago in a playoff sweep that was so bad Kyrie ran to Dallas 😂😂😂
Don't speak like the finals is done Colin. Great possibility that it will especially if KP returns. If not, and Brown and Tatum choke like last year, it's possible for Luka Magic and Kyrie finishes.
No dude! Tatum has to get it done this year. If Tatum doesn’t get outplayed by Andrew Wiggins the Celtics win that final. I don’t know what you guys watched. The Celtics have the better team. There are NO excuses.
Either celtics win in 6 in a series that only looks competitive in 7 quarters- or -mavs win game 7 by 11+ pts. Kleiber is an unexpected chess piece that helps mavs steal game 2.
Celtics should attack Luka and Kyrie and make them play some defense, look at the Minnesota series ,Ant could not be guarded by neither of them he just didnt have any help,plus the kid was flat out exhausted trying to guard everyone and also score.
I love Dallas they are dynamic with Kyrie and Luka as better players than Jayson/Jaylen but Boston have more depth and guts with Holiday,Al Horford and Derick White.
I think Bill Simmons or maybe Brian Windhorst said this. Luka is like LeBron was at this point. He’s too good. Any series is going at least 6 games that he’s in. Ain’t no Celtics gonna roll on the Mavs. If anything, it’ll be the Mavs rolling the Celtics. I expect this series to go 6 or 7 games.

Jason usually is speaking facts and I love his takes. But his comment about Luka playing the best basketball of his life… it’s not close to it. Numbers wise it’s his worst postseason to date. That’d be terrifying if I was Boston, given he’s now got a week to rest. And that you have no player near his caliber
Man stop it Dallas in 5
Cs in 5/6
Maaaan! I’m sayin! 😂 these boys smokin
@@loudpacjohnny6822fr 2 killers in Dallas vs 2 boys who haven't overcome the pressure of big moments yet.
You do Drugs don't you? If Dallas wins it would take 6 or 7.
Goofy 🤡
Lu Dort and Jayden McDaniels were both supposed to have the size length and speed to guard him and aren't all that active on the offensive end so they can conserve energy for Defense. IT DOESNT MATTER. Luka can and will find a way to get an advantage.

This series will come down to Coaching. Which team can exploit the matchups the best, and even adjust. Boston has more offensive players that can play both ends. Dallas has unpredictable offensive players and exceptional defense, and a deeper bench.
Deeper bench?? Ur funny dude..who are dallas bench.i dont even know the players name off the of dallas..while celtics have the 3 best 3pts shooter in the league..al,sam and pritchard..u dont know what u r talking about buddy..stop it
This salty Heat fan is going to have to stomach Mark Cuban lifting that trophy cause its anyone BUT Boston...Plus I love Luka's game, Jason Kidd, Kyrie, they got soul....Respect to our old final's rival.. Mavs in5 !
Jimmy who?
I’m a Celtic fan for decades. Boston should be the heavy favorite, but if they don’t play to their capabilities, Dallas can absolutely beat them.
Modern day sports "experts"
The Dallas Mavericks have NO CHANCE against the LA Clippers. Ummm....the Dallas Mavericks have NO CHANCE against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Um.....the Dallas Mavericks have NO CHANCE against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ummm...the Dallas Mavericks have NO ChANCE against the Boston Celtics. Experts are like lukewarm coffee. Spit it out and move on.
If you put Tatum on Luka, Luka will still make 20 to 30 points and Tatum will go down the same path Ant went offensively guarding Kyrie and Luka
Yeah he’s trippin when saying that Luka who will be the best player on the floor doesn’t have a chance ? Like the Celtics are a good team but they aren’t the warriors with kd lol people keep comparing them trust me the warriors with kd would slaughter this Celtics team… and Luka and kyrie feel like they are built and ready for this… I think it’ll be good games tbh but I got mavs in 6-7
And them 2 boys choke year after year lol while The 2 in Dallas scare teams in big moments. It seems to me that Dallas is just meant to get this one, I cant see those 2 killers getting this close and not going crazy.
@@Yeshuaspupileasy to say that when Luka has never played this far and kyrie has been embarrassed by the Celtics recently….Luka is the best player but he ain’t winning….the mavs are a easy matchup for Boston
I'm routing for Tatum / KP in the Finals and this is facts. Ain't no way they would beat that Warriors squad. Curry, Klay, Draymond, Boogie, KD, the super deep bench. Probably the best team of all time tbh.
Thing is Luka never been the best on the floor facing Celtics lol
@@Yeshuaspupilwhile Celtics choking year after year what them two killer's was doing? Getting kilt wasn't even in the conversation 😂
Kyree and Luka have been playing with a ferocity that looks like a winner.
So has tatum and brown
Best record in NBA for a reason
Tatum and Brown had a cake walk to the finals knicks could've gave them a challenge but we're hit by injuries,Dallas has had competition they are the tougher team I see Dallas being able to close it out in 6
But it’s not enough
@@corpr8dystopia778 apparently not
was stupid to bet against Luka when he was alone, now it is even more stupid to bet against Luka and Kyrie in his prime, and Mavs bigs and what will happen if PJ will drop 29 points again , Mavs bigger and more athletic team too
Not really bigger. Also, a lack of serious backcourt defensive depth. Itll be a good series, but I don't think Luka has it.
@@finneganmurray7331 if Luka dont have it then Tatum and Brown dont have it even more , then no player in the league have it as Luka best player in the world. them two chokers will choke once again mark my words nothing to talk about them two .
@@finneganmurray7331 lack of serious backcourt ? :D Mavs backcourt probably best in the NBA
Tbh they are obv gonna try to involve luka into actions to wear him down, i think ky is going to be the main target of the cs attack
Celtics in 4
4 decades maybe
Luka- Jaylen matchup up favors Jaylen. Luka is TIRED and not in the shape jaylen is in. And no shot he can stay with Jaylen defensively. Kyrie-jrue same situation. Non factor defensively and jrue will stay right with him defensively. There’s a reason the celts are such heavy favorites. The mavs are possibly the easiest matchup we could have had. Denver and Minnesota both would have been much harder matchups.
That blazers comparison is so ass😂
You right, Celtics aren’t even close to as good as that Blazers team
64 wins Celtics team, actually 76-20 overall lol. They lose 4 out of 7 to Mavs? I don't think so
@@TroutSniffer69Please. That Blazers team had an old Pippen, Steve Smith and Sabonis.
@@nocturne311 Celtics playin Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and got Al horford shooting 3s 😭. Also, Sabonis was fire.
Did Colin just compare us to the 2000 Trail Blazers, wtf?? This is so disrespectful 😩😭
Tatum guarding luka lmao
Better than the other way around. Lol
What so funny? Tatum is an elite defender. Check the numbers. Him and JB embarrassed Luka and Kyrie last 2 games they played
@@cvgodd1432everybody embarrassed them they was taking turns whoever them two was sticking they was passing them the ball like go ahead cook lol
@cvgodd1432 pretty sure luka had two 30 point triple doubles in those games...pretty sure gafford and pj wasn't there for the first one...pretty sure gafford only played 6 mins in second game...and thj was getting heavy mins lol
Tatum can guard Luka. Luka can’t guard Tatum (or anyone else for that matter)
Both teams recognize and respect each other the media don't. These analysts and media are just there to ruin it and let the fan base throw rocks and bs. Competition and entertainment is there but the NBA should also be a brand of sportsmanship and chivalry.
Kyrie gone see this and cook tf outta the Celtics… I’m stamping it rn.. Mavs in 5/6
KYRIE is 0-10 vs Celtics since he stomped on Celtics Logo. With Nets and Mavs. Go look it up.
Celts swept his Nets and that's with KD!!
Cryknie is irrelevant against boston since stomping celtics logo before leaving them..
Finally someone spitting facts about this. Celtics have been disrespected like mad by all of these prisoners of the moment. Literally faulting Boston for not having any competition that’s close to their level. All these Boston haters are going to be awfully quiet very soon
All these Mavs fans out of nowhere 😂😂😂.
Noone has talked about dallas until the end of this season. I've been a mavs fan for about 20 yrs and this is the most media they've gotten in a decade.
or more Likely Celtic haters ..which is very justified.
Mavericks have fans??
I should warn Mavs fan to gatekeep their team from these bandwagon idiots.
Nah we been here *****
I’m a Celtics fan but i love the Mavs as my second favorite team since the German part of me just loved Dirk and what he did… but I am ALL IN for banner 18. Idc who wins 2,3,4 years from now… but Boston is starving for banner 18. I think this particular team is the one to do it. The narrative was we blow out teams and can’t win close games… well that narrative is shot after the pacers series. KP coming back makes it unfair, but Boston still wins without him. Can’t wait for the Tatum haters to get that wake up call. I just have a weird feeling he’s going to average crazy numbers in this series.
Bro there big men been ballin out not including there back court dallas be clicking
Celtics win this in 5. The matchups are bad for them. Holiday, White, Brown or some of the best permitter defenders in the game. Tatum is pretty solid too. The big factor though is Porzingis and Horford can shoot the 3 and space the floor bringing Gafford and Lively out from the basket. But, I suspect Holiday/White will guard Kyrie primarily and Brown will get on Luka mainly with some Tatum and maybe even Brissett. Boston wins this in 5.
true celtics in 5
Thanks for the tip guys, I'll be sure to go and put $100 on the Mavs
Could be a Celtics sweep. White and Holiday will shut down kyrie. Will be Luka vs Tatum
And you're taking Tatum?? Boston delusion is hilarious
Bos is a very strong team and may very well win this year
I feel like Mavs might be a lock now.
Bro sometimes a team or even fighters hit a stride and you just feel like its meant to happen and this feels like that. Plus the Celtics 2 stars are know to choke under pressure while the Dallas 2 are known to get better.
@@Yeshuaspupil They haven't choke none this year so keep that same energy.
@@muteehall higher stakes playing better comp. Im excited to see the cs deliver with all that talent.
LOL a random person on youtube cant change DESTINY. BANNER 18 COMING SOON
Colin doesn’t know the Finals schedule is set… it’s only been advertised every playoff game.
Luka is the best player in a Dallas and Boston series? Really? These guys don’t watch Basketball. The two best players in that series are Jayson and Tatum!
Who has the most triple doubles in these playoffs!
Jayson and Tatum. My favorite pitchers in the NBA, I hope they kick many touchdowns.
All I see are people picking Dallas and saying how the Cs are overrated, haven’t been tested, are chokers… when the Cs finally win we are going to see these same people cry about how they were “supposed” to win. “Brown Tatum holiday porzingis white horford…of course they should win…” is what they will say I can already see it.
Luka is going to go completely off in this Finals.
The dude Colin is absolutely right especially if they bring back porzingis…..and this one is for Mr.bill ,big red…..they have Dallas number!
Talk is so cheap. Play the game and understand. 😮
Mavs aren’t scared of the Celtics. Luka has led the NBA this postseason in steals, points, 3-pt fg, assists, etc
I picked Boston at the beginning of the season so sticking with them Boston in 6.
Imo I don’t think any players are thinking of the salary cap for next season in the finals
shaq and Kobe were the 1-2 punch of the league, and the blazers stars, some of them were at the tail of their careers.
Mavericks have good, underrated young bigs, Celtics do not have a good athletic big.
For the finals, injuries often are key.
Celtics have banged up centers in KP and Kornet.
KP has not played since April 29.
Dallas have players with nagging injuries:
(Lively---neck, Kleber---shoulder, Prosper---ankle).
And Doncic is listed questionable with knee injury.
Every year Tatum finds a way to disappoint, what makes this year any different plus not being tested in the east?
I like Dallas, I saw them making adjustments after loosing games in series.
Absolutely no shot, like in any series they won up until now! Luka and the Mavs love the hate and disrespect! Mavs in 6 EAZY!
Game 5 boston jrue and porzingis are the big keys
Oh wow! Thank you for this upload. I cant wait to come back to this after the Mavs win the finals.
Celtics are way tougher and deeper than Dallas. Also Dallas is a plays slow, and holds the ball a lot in Luka’s hands. Celtics can play fast and much more aggressive which Dallas cannot defend against. Brown will get a lot of easy fast break points. Also, Boston absolutely destroyed a healthy Kyrie and KD a few years ago in a playoff sweep that was so bad Kyrie ran to Dallas 😂😂😂
Love when the „experts“ are wrong.
Don't speak like the finals is done Colin. Great possibility that it will especially if KP returns. If not, and Brown and Tatum choke like last year, it's possible for Luka Magic and Kyrie finishes.
Weird clickbait title. Both guys talk about how they are leaning Boston, quite different than the Mavs having “no shot” against them
No dude! Tatum has to get it done this year. If Tatum doesn’t get outplayed by Andrew Wiggins the Celtics win that final. I don’t know what you guys watched. The Celtics have the better team. There are NO excuses.
Either celtics win in 6 in a series that only looks competitive in 7 quarters- or -mavs win game 7 by 11+ pts. Kleiber is an unexpected chess piece that helps mavs steal game 2.
Everybody said Dallas had no chance vs the Clippers, Thunders, and the Wolves. You already know what happened. 🤣🤣
It’s interesting to see all the Boston hate. Writing down names to call out when they win.
I think it will be a closer series than people think but I think it goes 6 Celtics in 6 or 7 in Boston
Nobody knows what's going to happen.
Let the Finals begin !!!
Celtics should attack Luka and Kyrie and make them play some defense, look at the Minnesota series ,Ant could not be guarded by neither of them he just didnt have any help,plus the kid was flat out exhausted trying to guard everyone and also score.
I love Dallas they are dynamic with Kyrie and Luka as better players than Jayson/Jaylen but Boston have more depth and guts with Holiday,Al Horford and Derick White.
"Colin hates the Mavs"? Bruh, I watched the video. He had a lot of praise for the Mavs and Luka in particular. Y'all must be crazy.
I think Bill Simmons or maybe Brian Windhorst said this.
Luka is like LeBron was at this point. He’s too good. Any series is going at least 6 games that he’s in.
Ain’t no Celtics gonna roll on the Mavs. If anything, it’ll be the Mavs rolling the Celtics. I expect this series to go 6 or 7 games.
He’s not wrong.
