The Boston Celtics Just Showed Us Exactly What We All Feared..| NBA Finals News (Porzingis, Tatum)

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Boston Celtics came out of the gates in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals in about as dominant of a fashion as possible against the Dallas Mavericks. With the return of Kristaps Porzingis from injury to the rotation, many were curious what his impact would be within the Celtics offense, and if he would be 100% to complement Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, etc. And well, what we saw in Game 1 definitely answered our questions.
To start with the Celtics offense vs the Mavs, it was really better than ever. KP showed us that new dimension to Boston’s offense he unlocked when he arrived along with Jrue Holiday. By using Porzingis alongside Al Horford to stretch the floor, create openings for others, etc, Celtics HC Joe Mazzulla was having his way with the creativity they showed to kick off the 2024 NBA Finals in Boston.
Then in terms of the Celtics defense, this was also phenomenal. Whether it was JT, JB, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis manning the middle, and even Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard off the bench with all of their efforts to slow down Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, etc, this side of the ball stole the show. And if Porzingis is able to keep up the two-way production we saw in Game 1, it is going to do a ton in terms of leading to the Celtcs being 2024 NBA champions.

Boston in 6 max
now, as a mavs fan, Celtics are GOOOOD. But, I have faith. Mavs in 6 or 7
@@suadelegend5443 bro stop spamming
@@user-vw5ng6ds7x what do you mean stop spamming? Are trying to pretend I'm doing such so no one will take my genuine opinion seriously? 😂 you earthlings are desperate these days
@@user-vw5ng6ds7x i feel its the Celtics series to lose and they can only beat themselves. They are a matchup nightmare for the Mavs and Luka has a bad knee. The only thing stopping Boston in my opinion is them going back to their old habits and getting complacent and missing shots down the stretch. Luka and Kyrie are finishers and if the Celtics cant keep their poise they could get burnt
The media was so unfair to Boston this year. The Celtics don’t have 5 players who can ALL shoot threes and can all defend/switch. They legitimately have 8. After Boston beats Dallas in 4 or 5, people will realize how unfair their roster is in today’s NBA.
Nah, when Boston win, all the media will do is come up with a million and one excuses for the Mavs and somehow play down the C’s win.
@@MrLurchsThingsperk and espn
And Jayson Tatum didn’t even play his best. That’s the scary part
@@MrLurchsThingsso fuckin true they hate boston ur exactly right
Media tryna sway betters
I will never understand why so many analysts downplay the talent of the Celtics. The HISTORY of the franchise alone should be enough to earn respect… #18 is coming regardless 💚💚
This is a very stupid comment. The history of the franchise? Who cares? What have you done lately? The Chicago Blackhawks have a history. The Lakers. The Montreal Canadiens. The Steelers. The Bulls. If you suck, you suck!
@@leysin456 I agree with you that the history of a franchise doesn't mean diddly squat. The OP is an embarrassing homer. That and I don't see a lot of people putting down their talent. They question their ability to finish. Capiche, OP? The world has been waiting quite a while, that's all.
You.
I like you.
@@leysin456 LOL!!
Wake up and look at the banners!!
Yall literally cling to the bill Russell years. Celtics are overrated. Doc rivers???
Jaylen Brown is an underrated defender. Should have made all defensive team
On point
ONG 🤦
Agree!
JB even said a few months ago that he's worked hard on defense, always volunteers to take on the star players and hoped to be considered All Defensive. Worst snub. I hope JB wins the championship and gets Finals MVP!
1000 percent.. and ironically, that’s the first thing that JB mentioned back in preseason, that he wanted to be ALL NBA Defender.
Interesting that I don't see the media talking about the fact that this is the FOURTH matchup of these teams this season, The Celtics are 4-0, and NONE of the games have been particularly close. Doncic scoring 30 while taking TEN MORE SHOTS than any other player, with ONE assist, is exactly how Joe Mazzula drew it up. The classic example of the star player NOT making his teammates better, resulting in a blowout loss.
3-0 but yeah it's crazy

Dude the regular season is nothing. The Mavericks excelled in the playoffs which beat all the teams in the West. They are a completely different team.
@@matthewdowling6549they will lose game 2 so no he's right 4-0
The Celtics are clearly using the tactic of letting Luka get his, because he's just too good to stop, and then clamping down on everyone else. To me, Dallas has a lot of work to do. Luka is great, but it looks like Kyrie can be contained. Outside of that, Dallas has some mobile bigs who can dunk off the lob but can't get their own shots, and a few other guys who are only good scorers occasionally. When you look at the firepower of these two lineups, Boston has a huge advantage.
Jalen Brown got ridiculous hops DAMNN
Yea man 4 real. Thats what he does
This is JB & KPs TEAM NOW 🍀
Dude dunks on people all the time. He got a long list. Go ask Gobert 😂😂
@@cvgodd1432 yuppp
@@cvgodd1432 Jaylen climbed the Sriffel Tower!
This team was put togeather so perfectly! The Celtics have surrounded Tatum and brown with enough talent that they will never have to feel the pressure of having to do it all themselfs and that exactly what we’re seeing
Point. Brad should get "Exec of the Decade" for the way this team turned out.
Yes because we all know. Tatum can't handle the pressure. Brown is a beast.
@@DavidAlmodovar-eo8dg he can handle pressure he just ain’t that dude that can single Handel carry a team to a championship… which mayb only one guy who ever could Jordan. Brown is a beast for sure but he’s a lot better with Tatum on the floor taking all the double and triple teams
EXACTLY!!! They’re stacked
@@DavidAlmodovar-eo8dg Imagine hating on Tatum while meatriding on Brown despite the two of them in the same team. What a weird ass fan. 😆
Stay humble and play hard. Let's goooo Celtics ❤❤❤
Jrue was humble after answering how he was gonna guard kyrie by saying “pray” but casual was saying something like “ He doesn’t want to make the same mistake as Ant” As if it ain’t Jrue😂
Horford wants his first ring 🥇 DESIRE
That was the 1st finals game for Porzingis ever.
Lol they don’t need horford to win . His contributions aren’t necessary
@@LuisPerez-nx9mv That doesn't mean they're not real or welcomed. K.P. isn't going to play 48 min every game.
Porzingus's performance is exactly what NBA fans hoped he could be when he was drafted. He did everything! And got the crowd all hyped up which gave the Celtics a jolt of energy.
He has been hurt and missed games every year he has played.
He looks like the leader they needed.
@@acornsucks2111 Playing basketball is really rough on the body. One company where I worked, dudes played hoops all the time during lunch break and occasionally, you'd see one of them on crutches from a torn ACL or Bucket Handle Meniscus. Also, very tall people are prone to all kinds of physical health problems with more occurring during age.
Porzingis made the Dallas players look like graduates of the Blue Bayou School of Defense.
I think Boston is better than Dallas even without Porzngis, but with him will be very very hard for Luka and his team.
And Kidd the thug he's been most of his life. Celts winning #18 as Kidd worries who's better JT or JB. Should have avoided the truck collision on his face and not beating up on non players
Linda Ronstadt sings that like an angel.
@@smaga3507If Tatum goes off and wins one of these games it's going to make Kidd's comment look really silly.
Wow so it took one game for NBA fans to realize what Celtics fans knew from round one. Sounds about right. CELTICS IN 5!
Easy road / MAVs have Jesus and Mohammed in the backcourt
Meanwhile Celtics fans are saying yeah but we had the best offense ever in league history and should have 3 x ALL NBA Defensive players....
I agree 5 cuz I honestly dont want to win the ring away lol. I want them to comeback to boston for a game 5 win and win the ring at home. But we shall see they keep doing what they did last night they sweeping. Lets keep in mind.
The celtics been here before so they know what it takes.
The mavs havent well these Mavs. Maybe Kyrie but not the rest.
I think thats what Boston is showing them. They are doing to the Mavs what The Warriors did to them.
facts
Everybody just thinks Luka can overcome a whole team. The media and people in general overrate people.
@@DavidAlmodovar-eo8dg agreed
Some 20pt games feel like 40pt. Thats how much impact KP had. But thats just his high efficiency average..media act like its never happened before. Lol
He did it in 21 minutes played as well.
They benched the starters early (smart move) or it would have been much worse.
Mavs just don't have an answer for KP, and honestly, I don't blame them. Maybe hard stuck Lively with KP might be an answer, but it's just too much pressure for a rookie.
@@scootyang2311thays just free dunks then all night
Game was over after the first quarter. the rest was garbage time.
Wow never expect Boston be this good. KP was what he is BIG Factor. Tatum and Jalen Brown are tall athletic and not shy to go on the pain and attack. All 3 T, B and KP were not shy to attack. But that Boston Defense is just a Inheritance DNA from the Past. All those Championship Throphy on the Past Means something Big for the Celtics organizations.
Don't forget Celtics also have the best backcourt --- JRUE AND DERRICK 💚🍀🔥
celtics in 5... im a Celtics fan been watching every game i could this year. they could probably win in 4 but i want the final game to be at home☘️☘️☘️
These blocks are exactly what you don’t see in the short recaps of the NBA! Thx!
As a Celtics fan, I have to say that mavs will adjust and they are definitely good enough to beat us. However, the disrespect and hate the Cs have been getting by the media is ridiculous lol. Hoping for a good series. LETS GO CELTICS!!🍀🍀🍀
If u noticed they hounded Luka like hes never been hounded before. I love when the Celtics put on that kind of pressure defense.
We all Luka will get his lil 25 or 30z. But im good with that. He cant do it all by himself.
@@TEDSHOTTHAT Exactly! Let him do his thing and be the star for Dallas. Just keep everyone else on check and close the passing lanes.
I just do not see Dallas being good enough on Defense unless multiple Celtics are having off days.... The T'Wolves big men were not effective two-way players. They could only protest (not stop) on defense and not score buckets or get in position to score with no defense against the Dallas big two. Boston is kind of forcing Kyrie to go on one side or the other limiting some shots and their quick hands and feet on defense is stressing Luka!!
Note: they haven't beaten the Celtics all season. Do you think they will start now?
KP is back 💪💪
KP is playing like a giant against pygmies.
lol
If everyone stays healthy this series is over
So all 6 of Boston players need to be healthy to beat 2 mavs players? 😂😂😂 Super Teams should win.
Cs in 3
@@sleepmoneyken9234not really but you can see it's GGs 😎🍀
@@sleepmoneyken9234now yall tryna say it’s a super team
Here we go with the excuses and crying. I knew i would see this comment of the celtics won@@sleepmoneyken9234
My take is that of course the Mavs will adjust come the next games, but so will Boston. I think that every attack Dallas lands on Boston, they will have a counter. I don’t see this series going to 7 games or even 6. 5 at most and I feel like the Mavs will have to win game 2 or 3 if they want the series to extend. Celtics in 4 ☘️
I do think Dallas will be better at adjusting since I find Kidd to be the better HC than Mazzula but I think Bostons shear talent will win out. Luka is the best player in this series, but Boston’s starting five destroys Dallas’
@@redwings0142 In no way has Kidd proven that he's a better coach than Mazzula, people need to stop underestimating that man because he's been outstanding and has only gotten better. Why didn't Kidd call more timeouts when Boston was going on insane runs? Kidd a better coach give me a break lmaooo.
@@redwings0142 Btw, this Celtics team isn't running just off of talent, that's Luka and it's failing for him. This Celtics team has strategically completely broken down the Mavs offense and has hustled their butts off defensively putting pressure so that the Mavs have no choice but to take bad shots or turn the ball over. Quit trying to undermine this Celtics team by dismissively saying that talent will be what wins them the championship.
I expect game 2 to be closer with the Mavs getting more calls with the low viewership.
Cs in 4, Lavs not winning shit
i was just laughing my ass off watching these mavs bums flop and trying their hardest to get an offesnive foul off those mismatch postups by porzingis
That was actually very funny 😂. I thought I was the only one that enjoyed those attempts
LMAO 😅 half-hearted flops, if you will
"Mavs sweeps"
Also Mavs in Game 1:
lol
mee too bro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro same 😂😂😂😂
Boston champion I think game 5 series to finish
4
Yup, 5 at most
Omg this was de best basketball game I have ever watched Celtics play in a long time 😮I’m happy
5 reasons why dallas is cooked already
1.they are out numbered its 5 vs 2
2.Doncic & Irving have to guard, you can't hide them anymore, that will tire poor Luka out and effect him late in games.
3. lively & Gafford are good at their roles which are protecting the paint and lob dunks but Porzingis & Boston spacing changes all that.
4.Doncic & Irving are not getting doubled which means they can put up their 30+ but PJ & derrick will have no rhythm & that's all bad
5.Dallas play slow, the reason Indiana gave Celtics trouble was the pace of Indiana, Boston now gets to set their elite defense more often.
I was born and raised in Mass. born in 1956 - GO CELTS !
A few thing stood out. 1 Kyrie did not play well. 2 Luka's 1 assist. 3 How little Dallas had after Luka and Kyrie. On the other side. 1 WOW Kristaps Porzingis looked like he did not miss a game. 2 Brown looked like the leader. 3 Boston's top 6 guys looked like the best 2-7 on the floor.
yeah but HOPEFULLY and most likely that won't happen again.
Luka knee is bothering him so expect the Celtics to attack him on the defensive end again. Wear him out
How does one get an assist? When someone you pass the ball to makes the shot..Luka wasn't getting a assist because they couldn't make wide open shots
Kyrie was defended well. He lost 11 straight against Boston.
Celtics defense ruined the Mavs. And the Celtics didn’t even shoot the ball particularly well, this could’ve been a 40 point blowout.
Hauser coming off the bench and playing shut down D and hitting his shots is huge. You don't even get a break with the bench.
Question: Was Minnesota's defense truly better or did Boston blow out so many teams that their defensive rating lowered when their bench was in?
Good question!
Boston can play man at a high level. Its diff from minni.
All of it it was all insane Celtics win game two
The only thing stopping the Celtics from winning #18 is themselves. If they keep poise and not get sloppy and complacent they will win this series. They are the better team and as great as Luka is he and Kyrie are not enough to beat this Celtics team when they are on their game. They are too deep and too talented.
FACTS just like against GS , that finals was WINNABLE but they shoot themselves in the foot , ontop of udoka not making in game adjustments throughout the series , even tho I view him as a better coach than Joe , but joe is " slowly " making me retract that statement .
@@TheDON914 this was a joe masterclass.
@@TheDON914agreed. Joe is probably getting awesome help and mentoring by van gundy and cassell as well. He's becoming a good coach durong this run and i called him garbage. Lets see their game 2 adjustments
@@TheDON914 Lmao the GS beat a very inexperienced team. This team would mop the floor with the warriors. One day that revenge might happen!
Porzingis was surprisingly amazing
I mean let’s not forget Knicks KP that was unfair to everyone he was Giannis but could shoot
complete domination.
All media is judging the celts ... and now they understood this is a really good team , they deaerve to win , go celltsssss , sweep them out
The Cs are looking like the best of Green teams, hot hand gets the ball and everybody works on D.
They're the best defensive team and offensive team in the NBA. People barely realizing it. Which is weird because they have the best record in the NBA. 64 wins apparently for no reason right?
This is what made the 90s bulls team so great they played as a team, gave the effort on the defensive end and knew who their leader was when the game was on the line. Plus they had 2 centers that could stretch the floor in Will Perdue and Lucy Longley
As a celtics fan i always felt not just as fan of the celtics but as a fan of the game, If the celtics stayed healthy and played there game that no one would beat them
Been like that since 2021 the healthy parts been what's missing
Nothing suprised me. KP has done this all year
This will be a gentleman’s sweep at worst! Celtics raising banner 18
EVERYONE keeps saying Mavs will make “adjustments” on but no one will say how… how will they go man on a stretch 5 where they’re exposing Luka he can’t defend and they’re going at him to get him tired. Kyrie will get doubled or Luka will cause the bigs can’t shoot on Dallas. Boston shuts down the paint so how someone explain it cause I can’t see it. Luka and Kyrie need 30-35 each to pull off a win every night Boston has so much fire power
dallas doesnt have a counter, they just gotta pray boston has an off shooting day
I still got my Celtics winning in 5💚☘️☘️
Celtics will be the next modern day dynasty
The Mavs have to see game 2 as a must-win, and it might be their best/last chance.
The reason they say Boston had the easiest path to the Finals is because they are the most Dominate Team this year...... they were suppose to win those series ..... no different here in the Finals
Celtics is playing a team game; it’s always next man up mentality! Media is too much focused on JT, however he gladly celebrate his assists ❤
Nothing at all surprised me. The Celts have won the last five games straight against the Mavs. Only people surprised are on Luka's nuts. This was like the globetrotters vs. a community college team.
Literally.
I’ve always said Luka is a generational talent and he gets stats but he doesn’t make his teammates better like a Jokic.
i hope we have a 7 game series. but the way Celtics are playing, they are definitely the more versatile team
nah thats actually insane. they clamped them so hard they had a TURNOVER TO ASSIST RATIO 💀💀💀
I never understood why Dallas traded him thats still a mystery
And jaylen brown has played 1 on 1 with kyrie for a year straight so he knows a bit about how to guard him
When Boston is hitting 3's they are untouchable. However they have had games where they don't hit thier 3's. This is why I think it will be a 5 or 6 game series before Boston wins the championship.
Anybody else remember long ago when Jalen Brown had a subpar handle and three-shot? Between he and Marcus Smart they could throw away any game at the end. Now look at him, an emerging super star. And he's on that mission to shove it in every voter's face.
Love it! JB 🍀🔥
Boston pulled out all of its weapons, the spacing, the 3-point shot making, the rim defense, the ability of all 5 players on the floor being constant offensive and defensive threats, and beat the Mavs like a lottery team. But, every game is different, and the Mavs are used to coming from behind in these playoffs. So a lot is hanging on this next game. If the Celtics win, it's not quite over but heading that way. If Dallas wins, we got a nice series.
KP didn't miss a beat and that surprised me. Although Dallas may attempt a counter, I think the Celtics will counter whatever counter Dallas may have. The bottom line is Dallas can't hide Doncic on defense. The Celtics have 6 players who could score 20+ points on any given night. They have too much firepower and too good of a defense for Dallas. The Celtics in 6.
Celtics are a matchup nightmare for the Mavs. On top of everything, Mavs looked way too slow and gassed early. Celtics are very fast passed with high motors, and will run you around, tiring you out early. Luka especially, dude was gassed early and gave up on so many plays.
You sound more educated and high basketball IQ, than 90% of media on TV
Dallas has no advantages bruh this is an epic mismatch like Lakers Heat
Boston has a much deeper bench of skilled players, they can constantly rotate fresh players in and not loose much while stars are resting.
That was an excellent breakdown. The Celtics had a great deal of pride in their defense since the days of the Great Mr. Bill Russell. It continued with John Havelcik (Hondo) and Dave Cowens to Larry Bird (Legend), Robert Parrish, DJ, and Kevin McHale to the next Big 3 of Paul Pierce (Truth) Kevin Garnett (Big Ticket) Rodo, and Ray Allen. It has continued with this team (2023-24) where the Top 6 of Jrue Holiday, D White, Big Al, KP, JT, and JB all play elite defense. This is a bad math and matchup problem for Dallas of 6 vs 2.
☘☘☘☘💚💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀🍀 #18.
Exactly 💯. Those first 6 are more than capable two-way players. They can do it all. They collectively outrank Luka, who while a good shooter, doesn't defend well. And Kyrie who doesn't show up when playing the Celtics, 0 for 11 now
Porzingis is back and will be a huge problem for Dallas. We are only at game 1 but I think Boston is going to win.
It’s unbelievable how much hate and disrespect the Cs 🍀are getting this season. They are the number one team in the league for a reason and it’s not their fault if they had an “easier” path to the finals. Health and durability are part of the game, you ain’t winning if you ain’t playing. Boston is the deepest team in the league right now, they have eight or nine guys who can score and defend.
💯💚🍀
Even if you limit tatum there's like 7 or 8 guys that can give 20+ 🤔
The counter is not to double Tatum, and then he will go for 40. Boston is a team with every player being a shooter. The double equals open man, rotation to open 3 with everyone at 40%. So the counter is to get crushed by layups. Also not a winning strategy.
Dallas is smart and got a wakeup call on game one, be ready for game 2 people. But i'm enjoying this kind of basketball so much, i can't blame anyone cause they are all playing out of their mind.
Beautiful job with the breakdown .
Tatum is gonna ball next game...he was good in game 1 apart from TOs and his shot not really falling - I'm confident this will change
You were fearing it I was hoping for it Celtics in 4
OK. What exactly is the Dallas counter? Better 3-point defense? Won’t that just open up the driving lanes? And what is the offensive counter against the Celtics’ defense? Can someone explain this in a way that makes sense? Seems like it’s fully in the Celtics’ hands to win or lose.
Admit it, casuals. Y'all had no idea they were this good because they played down to the conference competition.
No surprise here, Boston has been the best team all year and showed it here.
This is not what what we feared! This is what we loved! CELTICS NBA CHAMPIONS ❤!!!
Porzingis is what we all wanted to see Kat do to the Mavs defense.
Going into the series pretty much every national pundit was praising Dallas' duo while not respecting Boston's. However, offensively they're approximately the same (Dallas' scored only 4 more points) however, defensively, it's not even close. Boston's is in a different league, Dallas' has only been playing defense for like 2 months, and I think they're overrated defensively, while everyone looked past the C's duo's defense. Dallas' will be inefficient, while Luka probably leading scoring, still will have to work for it. I think the C"s have the guards to defend Kyrie well enough but who can defend Tatum or Brown when they get it going? However I think the games will be decided by the others on the court and Boston's roster is just better
Go Celtics ☘️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy for kristaps and horford especially. All the others must keep it going.
They can counter but the main issue here is boston is playing to their strengths something they build through out the season and playoffs and is now amplified to the maximum level, and for this Dallas to be successful they would have to play outside of who they are as Boston has literally taken out three of their main characteristics Lob city, corner threes and packing the paint defense, now you could try to play differently but that won’t work against a well oiled machine that has been doing it the whole season and playoffs. Now we often say season don’t matter, to some extent it’s true but one thing that matters in season is building f**king good habits until it becomes your character, sad to say for Dallas this is bostons character by now… if you bet they would play differently I think you’ll lose that bet. They different cause they build good habits into great character now they have become a great team ready to be historical ❤
this is exceptional analysis
Totalmente d'accordo con quello che dici, solo chi non capisce di pallacanestro può affermare che la stagione regolare non conti...!!!
I think the C’s are living with the tuff Luka buckets and rather him get 30-40 than let him get his ensemble heat up. I still believe Boston in 6 but if Dallas don’t start getting better looks offensively. This could be over in 5.
K.P.🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥
I think Tatum will be open more often less double triple teaming on him
Maybe boston just facing another "weak" opponent will be the next excuse for the haters? Kinda hard to do so when everybody was hyping up the Mavs.
The fact the Celtics won this big and Tatum didn’t even have 20 has me ready to say Celtics in 4
Celtics Baby!!!!!
The Celtics are a loaded team with 5 current/former all stars plus White who is second team all NBA defense. That’s 6 top notch players for the Celtics.
BTW, I don’t want the Celtics to win but before the finals I wrote that with a healthy Porzingis, the Celtics were going to be tough to beat.
If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy next season & consistent 2025 playoffs Boston big chance get #19 banner next season 💯 no doubts 💪🔥💪
Dallas will counter, but the issue is that anyone can the #1 scorer for that team. It could be White in game 2 that pops off for 30 and is the star. Its almost impossible to stop a team that has shooters 1-5 on the floor. Boston is built to handle any defensive scheme Dallsas throws at them
Collectivity as a team. That I can't see from much years in NBA.. just rely on 1 or 2 players
At this level in professional sports, it's all about Matchups! That's it. Your players vs. my players. The previous playoff rounds mean nothing. The regular season means nothing. The math is simple. The Celtics have 6-8 guys who can put up 20 points plus on any given night. So if a star or two flops on any given night, it can be overcome. The Mavs have 2 players in that category. One of those stars aka KYRIE didn't put up 30 points so the Mavs lost badly. I don't see this series lasting very long. Kyrie Irving is NOT Stephen Curry and the Celtics are a much better team than 2-3 years ago.
Great commentary and breakdowns. Nice editing, also. Boston in 6. If Porzingas is able to play, maybe 5. Boston is making a considerable majority of the championship level plays.
CRAZY that he's only 19 year old 😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂😅😅😅😂🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Impressive!
Boston Celtics defense worked well and forced turnover on the Mavs side also the mismatch against KP
Great summarization Sir. Boston 4/2
Got shell shocked 1st quarter but after that, it was a pretty close game.
Let me put it like this: I don't know who is gonna win, but there will be no game five in this series :)
I dont think you even mentioned horford
Dang, I see a sweep coming😢
What surprised me most was that so many pundits are picking Dallas in this series
Let 'em all lose their parlays LOL !
Celtics in 5
When Luka or Kyrie go to the bench. The Celtics will still have 3 to 5 scorers on the floor at all times. Celtics are to deep for any team in the NBA.
The only thing in this game that surprised me was how out of shape Luka Donuts looked. He was gassed, Dallas needs to get him in shape in the off season.
Nice breakdown of the game.
C’s in 5 🎉
PK is A Game Changer ! I predict 5 GAMES , Possibly 4 !
Dallas should have not let Boban Marjanovic leave
How would he have helped?
Jaylen Brown ENTER his 2st YEAR PRIMES this season 💪🔥💪
