If the Celtics win this people need to put so much respect on Brad Stevens. Started building as the coach and finishing the job as gm is impressive. He’s made the right decision so many times as GM
Luka was the only one that showed up. Everyone else shot 11% from 3 combined and a lot of them were wide open. I hope the role players start hitting anything at home.
@@majcry4188but they’re the ones who have to capitalize on bad games from us to win this series we can beat Dallas at their best they can’t beat us at our best
People act like all the Mavericks other than Luka weren’t also shooting horribly from 3. Luka is 8/21 this series while the rest of his team is 2/21. That’s why everyone’s saying Lukas had no help.
Celtics have been the best team in the league all season people let the narratives and past teams (different team btw) sway them into doubting the Celtics.
People always look at paper on how good a team is, they always ignore stats because "eye test" is the best. These Cs is the closest thing to the KD Warriors statistically.
@@liamgreen2659man Tatum not being a top tier superstar is a such a wild take what other superstar has been living at least in the conference finals for the last half decade?
As a huge Luka fan I felt on and island when I said that the Celtics should be the favs. People just keep falling into the trap of thinking this is a "Choking Celtics" which may have been true in the past but it would be wild for this core to not get one ring with the runs to ecf they seem to sleepwalk to.

They are a very deep team and most importantly their core have all been playing together for years. Very cohesive unit and they have a lot of 2nd and 3rd effort plays. When they’re locked in like this it’s constant pressure, make a mistake and it’s magnified
It’s so sad. The Celtics could sweep this finals and narrative would still be some “Micky Mouse ring. Bad competition. Tatum is overrated” BS. Every moron in the national media picked Dallas to win because they literally don’t look at anything beyond the top 2 “stars” on a team. This Celtics team won 64 games, is 14-2 in the playoffs and 2 games from a championship. They deserve some God damn respect
I love how the Celtics shot terrible from three, most of which were wide open, and they still led the whole time and won the game. Sorry to Mavs fans, but as a Celtics fan, I'm just glad we're proving we shouldn't have been doubted.
Everybody said all season that versus Boston, no one was going to have a chance besides the 1-3 seeds in the west for different stretches, primarily the Nuggets. The switch up where 70% of people were picking the mavs to win the finals was DELUSIONAL.

@@god_when333 you’re making excuses and talking about your feelings, my point is that the Celtics can do poorly in one area but they don’t make excuses and keep playing hard and that’s how they win.
Luka had 13 of his 32 in the first last night, tuckered himself out and couldn’t play the rest of the game and somehow people think that’s a good performance 😭
He’s expressed a lot of guilt regarding his time with the Celtics recently. Idk why I just remembered this 10 seconds ago, but it’s probably hard for him mentally, let alone the Celtics defensive prowess.
please lord let this be the jinx that i need im european and my vacation just started i want AT LEAST 6 games, i can deal with the mavs losing against the celtics but man the first games i could really enjoy and watch live seem to shape up as the tail end of a slapping
They’ve done a great job of player acquisition. Take a great team and add KP and Jrue and it’s a world championship team. I give Dallas a 1 in 50 chance to come back and win the series.
Celtics playing with a loaded superteam. You got the best defensive backcourt and they can also shoot 3s, you got two all nba stars and you got porzingus a perineal superstar. Not to mention the bench too Vs the mavs who got only luka and kyrie, the rest are not stretching the floor and are on and off. It’s never been a fair matchup
I always thought this series had a better chance of being a sweep than going 7 games. Everyone who was picking the Mavs needs to be studied. I have no idea how tf y’all chose this mid-ass Mavs team over the best starting 5 since the KD warriors
Mavs are in trouble Tatum was awful and the Celtics were awful from 3 and they still wasn’t able to win the game. You got to give Tatum for passing the ball and finding the open man and the Celtics defense was great. Now the Mavs are going back home facing a Celtics team that hasn’t lost on the road. It’s obvious game 3 a must win from Dallas. If Kyrie doesn’t play well and if Tatum somehow finds his shot. This series is going to end at most by game 5. So yeah let’s see what happens on Wednesday
Role players shoot better at home. I expect the Dallas role guys to start hitting shots and the Celtics to not get last second logo 3's from Pritchard (but he might, he's crazy like that). The Celtics starting 5 are all playing great. Jaylen, Jayson, Derrick, Jrue, Tingus are all playing their roles very well. Tatum isn't shooting well but he's doing everything else possible. Holiday barbecued. Jaylen is the model of consistency. KP is a unicorn frolicking. White is the bald blocker.
No everyone switched on kyrie 😂, “ greatest backcourt of all times, they said kyrie and luka weren’t going to work, the Celtics are the worst team the mavs have faced “ lmao
@@adrijiyudayes we starting that His team shot 11% from 3 That is nobody but their fault not luka Stop with the whole lebron thing This excuse has always been valid He plays good his team plays ass they lose That has always been a good excuse for winning because basketball is a 5v5 sport which is why when a player is damn near scoring 1/3 if his team’s points He gets so much praise for it Luka getting doubled in every play meanwhile tatum can’t handle it at all Good passing but literally can’t score with double teams
basketball is a funny sport tatum is playing team basketball , is sturggling shooting and they're winning the series cause of his playmaking. Luka is playing 1v1 basketball and is a cone on defense but nobody gonna give him slack for it
Fr i don't see people talking about how gassed luka is on defense. I mean he's playing legendary offense don't get me wrong, but he's got all the celtics just dribbling around him as if he was playing for the washington generals 😂
Celtics just have too many points of attack and they don’t have as many weaknesses defensively, especially when all their starters are out there. It always feels like the Mavs are playing 4 against 5 on both ends.
I'll admit, I doubted the Celtics because of their choking history but this team is much better. Holiday is such a winning stabilizing presence and KP gives them such great spacing and miss match hunting options. Tatum still sucks but Brown has been more assertive. I didn't think they'd be able to win with Tatum. But Brad Stevens did such a good job building a roster that can carry him
My prediction for the series was and still is Mavs in 7, so, it’s ok. Now, let’s see how some of the Celtics role players play on the road, I promise you Jrue ain’t having another game like that, at least on the road, people are criticizing Tatum a lot, but they need to give props to the Mavs because they are guarding him really well, and his decision making was great, that’s why Jrue has this game. Another thing I promise you is. Kyrie is not having another two games like these, at least not at home, so expect 30+ from him, same for some role players, Derrick Jones Jr, Lively, Gafford. Luka will be Luka no matter what. This series reminds a lot of that Mavs vs Suns series, that ended in 7, we all now what happened, now, make no mistake, this Celtics team is definitely waaay better than that Suns team, defensively 1 trough 6 can guard at a high level, and offensively, everyone can shoot, the only thing in common is that both teams won 60+ games. So, this is what I believe will happen, the Mavs will tie the series in Dallas, Game 5 will go to the Celtics, 6 to the Mavs and in Game 7, I got Dallas, but, not like that infamous Game 7 against the Suns, which was a blowout, if this goes to 7, I think that game will be really close, and I got Luka and the Mavs winning the chip.
the bucks and wizards really did the celtics a favor by giving jrue and porzingis. i hate the celtics but that was an absolute masterclass by brad stevens
Ok the pic at 3:30 ish of Tatum and Luka. What exactly is a reaching foul? Tatum is reaching if you call it by its definition. Do you have to smack their hand or something for it to be a reach?
every player does that in the NBA, I'm sure you can find JB do the same thing 10 times per game. Travels in the NBA are rarely called, so complaining about them not being called doesn't make much sense
IDC what anyone says. Jaylen was worth the contract he got. I always preferred Jaylen over Jayson. Jaylen is more consistent. Especially in the playoffs.
People will talk about injuries affecting a lot of playoff runs for lots of teams, but I wonder if Jamal Murray's calf injury slowing him down early against Minnesota isn't *the* injury of the entire playoffs. If Denver flips G1 in that series, they play Dallas, probably dominate them, and Boston/Denver would be a total dogfight of a series I'm not sure Boston wins. But, it didn't break that way.
Kidd off the timeout allowing Klebar go 0-4 early when we had a lead was killer, and being afraid of keeping kyrie cause of foul trouble, messed up Kyrie's game, Kidd is a horrible coach, as a Dallas fan I did not watch this video but as a funky supported, Dominican that likes Horford, I can put my Mavs hat aside and say good win Boston
5v2 but it’s ok Cuz we know Boston ain’t doing this again next year. Injuries suck and teams needed to adjust but they didn’t which is why Boston got the easiest championship I’ve seen in my 15 years of watching sports. Just pray and hope that teams really take advantage of the Salary Cap system and just go all in to make it “competitive” if they don’t get used to the East having the Boston marathon on continuous playoff runs. It reminds me of the GSWesque run before KD and after KD which is cool but it’s unfortunate that teams are gonna have run through Boston if they wanna make it to the finals. but egos will collide and some feathers will ruffle. Give it to JT to make it happen.
This team w chemistry will be better than this year and have a very high chance of repeating. Only teams I see giving them problems in the East are Orlando, New York and Indiana. bucks and Sixers are soon gonna start rebuilding after many playoff losses not called the ECF, Miami can’t compete w a 36 year old Butler, and everyone else is a punching bag for the Celtics. Only thing stopping this team next year is injuries.
Not really. Its a fair trade. Timelord, brogdon and 2 1sts? thats a solid return for a jrue holiday on 1Y Left on his contract. Context has to matter here. If jrue didnt go to boston and would only sign with boston (he said boston was one of his preferred teams), no ones offering 2 good players and 2 1st rounders for someone on an expiring contract. This is just a good trade for boston because jrue decised to extend with boston. Would you pay that much for a rental of a non-superstar? even the raptors didnt pay this price with kawhi.
They’re going to try to make every desperate justification for NOT giving Jayson Tatum Finals MVP. But when other do the other things outside of scoring it’s the “Mamba Mentality”
Game 3. Mavs have to win Game 3 or its over. I said before this series. Celtics when they are consistent are unbeatable. You can only beat them in games where they inconsistent. When the games are close Mavs have the advantage of closing it out. This was about as sloppy as you're gonna see the Celtics. This and the start of the third quarter in Game 1. If the Mavs can't capitalize on this weakness they are toast.
@@tm7517 In modern basketball terms with Kyrie and Luka on the same team that's the difference of only three possessions going your way and you'll have a tied score or 1-point lead. They had momentum going for them as well. So incorrect. EDIT >>> And in case the concept was lost on you it was simply an example of the Mavericks being able to come back when the Celtics play sloppy. Now try to imagine what a 28 point run from the mavs be like if the Celtics didn't have a 30 point cushion? Or we're in the closing minutes of the game with fewer timeouts.
@@tm7517 HUH!? This feels like Semantics at this point. Does it need to be by a bucket for it to be close to you??? Anyways, I'm highlighting how Mavs can come back in deficits when the Celtics play sloppy. That's the only important part.
Kyrie getting clamped so far these 2 games he can’t get going they’re just pushing him around. Mavs role players aren’t good enough compared to the stacked Boston team

Ok the pic at 3:30 ish of Tatum and Luka. What exactly is a reaching foul? Tatum is reaching if you call it by its definition. Do you have to smack their hand or something for it to be a reach?
I’m putting White in top 5 talks before I put Tatum in top 20 talks
Maybe the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen
You expect a 19 year old to dominate in the finals 🤣
Better rebounder, passer and defender than luka.
@@undiscoveredstars1002he’s not a better passer lmao, you’re such a wet wipe 😂
Jayson Tatum will face more criticism when his team wins than Luka will ever face when his team loses.
clicked for the ATCQ name reference
I said it here first mavs are gonna lose next game go down 3-0 and then Luka and Ky are gonna go crazy and come back
It’s the script
Suns were up 2-0 against the Bucks in the 2021 finals
Suns were also up 2-0 on Mavs in the western semifinals 2022
@@Jay-is5ef the difference here is that the celtics are a much better team than the mavericks
Rip mavs
LETS GO CELTICS!!!!
derrick white is just a star plain and simple
I'm pretty sure PJ took 3 steps AFTER the gather... so the push by JB shouldn't even be an issue.
I still wonder if DJJ got happy feet when he caught that bullet and had Jrue callin for a travel 🤔
every player does that in the NBA, I'm sure you can find JB do the same thing 10 times per game. Travels in the NBA are rarely called, so complaining about them not being called doesn't make much sense
If this series is going to become competitive, then Kyrie needs to play much better at home.
IDC what anyone says. Jaylen was worth the contract he got. I always preferred Jaylen over Jayson. Jaylen is more consistent. Especially in the playoffs.
Jrue holiday might be finals mvp
congrats funky
Most important question, Funky would we see you at the parade???
all the people i saw say mavs in 5 😂😂😂 Clowns. Go Boston
People will talk about injuries affecting a lot of playoff runs for lots of teams, but I wonder if Jamal Murray's calf injury slowing him down early against Minnesota isn't *the* injury of the entire playoffs. If Denver flips G1 in that series, they play Dallas, probably dominate them, and Boston/Denver would be a total dogfight of a series I'm not sure Boston wins. But, it didn't break that way.
shouldn't have come down to that but PJ was 100% fouled. unfortunate that the game gets swung by a no call like that.
Kidd off the timeout allowing Klebar go 0-4 early when we had a lead was killer, and being afraid of keeping kyrie cause of foul trouble, messed up Kyrie's game, Kidd is a horrible coach, as a Dallas fan I did not watch this video but as a funky supported, Dominican that likes Horford, I can put my Mavs hat aside and say good win Boston
Where are all the people who were voting for the Mavs to win by landslide?
I had Dallas in 5 or 6 assuming Kyrie would show up and Tatum would shit the bed. Only one of those is true this far 😭😭😭
Neither is true tbh
shitting the bed in 2024 is a near triple double yikes

Celtics from easy route to super team
Celtics were the best team all season for a reason. Any team (including the Wolves/Nuggets) coming out of the west would’ve lost to this team.
Crazy how it will be Mavs in 6 mannn
Most important the Mavericks are 4 wins away.
Which happens first a kyrie three or a mavs win
5v2 but it’s ok
Cuz we know Boston ain’t doing this again next year.
Injuries suck and teams needed to adjust but they didn’t which is why Boston got the easiest championship I’ve seen in my 15 years of watching sports.
Just pray and hope that teams really take advantage of the Salary Cap system and just go all in to make it “competitive” if they don’t get used to the East having the Boston marathon on continuous playoff runs. It reminds me of the GSWesque run before KD and after KD which is cool but it’s unfortunate that teams are gonna have run through Boston if they wanna make it to the finals. but egos will collide and some feathers will ruffle. Give it to JT to make it happen.
This team w chemistry will be better than this year and have a very high chance of repeating. Only teams I see giving them problems in the East are Orlando, New York and Indiana. bucks and Sixers are soon gonna start rebuilding after many playoff losses not called the ECF, Miami can’t compete w a 36 year old Butler, and everyone else is a punching bag for the Celtics. Only thing stopping this team next year is injuries.
Celtics in 5. Ky wont do shit. The only threat to the Cs were the defending champs nugs and a healthy bucks, thats it. Congratulations!
I wish I had this guys brain
Is your channel name a tribute to ATCQ’s phife-dawg?
In hindsight, the Jrue Holiday trade should have got the Chris Paul treatment.
Not really. Its a fair trade. Timelord, brogdon and 2 1sts? thats a solid return for a jrue holiday on 1Y Left on his contract.
Context has to matter here. If jrue didnt go to boston and would only sign with boston (he said boston was one of his preferred teams), no ones offering 2 good players and 2 1st rounders for someone on an expiring contract.
This is just a good trade for boston because jrue decised to extend with boston. Would you pay that much for a rental of a non-superstar? even the raptors didnt pay this price with kawhi.
@@TheRobversion1 it did make the Celtics ridiculous for that year.
tatum controlled the whole game with his playmaking... He is the head of the snake
Jinxed it
Funky gon get that chip😮
I’m finna throw up
The problem for the mavericks is that Luka gives up as many as he scores. Just a horrible defensive player
Most of those 2 point misses came from Tatum (his layup package is horrible)
Dude JT's ass in that pic is to die for
Take a shower
@@thephilosophyminor I wish I could use JT’s used bathwater for it
Aight time to sleep bro
They’re going to try to make every desperate justification for NOT giving Jayson Tatum Finals MVP. But when other do the other things outside of scoring it’s the “Mamba Mentality”
Funky is so biased towards Luka it's really offputting.
Game 3. Mavs have to win Game 3 or its over. I said before this series. Celtics when they are consistent are unbeatable.
You can only beat them in games where they inconsistent. When the games are close Mavs have the advantage of closing it out. This was about as sloppy as you're gonna see the Celtics. This and the start of the third quarter in Game 1. If the Mavs can't capitalize on this weakness they are toast.
The games really wasn’t all that close in the 2nd half. It was usually the Celtics up 8. That’s not really close.
@@tm7517 In modern basketball terms with Kyrie and Luka on the same team that's the difference of only three possessions going your way and you'll have a tied score or 1-point lead. They had momentum going for them as well. So incorrect.
EDIT >>> And in case the concept was lost on you it was simply an example of the Mavericks being able to come back when the Celtics play sloppy. Now try to imagine what a 28 point run from the mavs be like if the Celtics didn't have a 30 point cushion? Or we're in the closing minutes of the game with fewer timeouts.
@@NotTheWheel of only three possessions. Ok. An 8 point deficit still is not all that close.
@@tm7517 HUH!? This feels like Semantics at this point. Does it need to be by a bucket for it to be close to you???
Anyways, I'm highlighting how Mavs can come back in deficits when the Celtics play sloppy. That's the only important part.
Its time to accept it Luka is the better player but JT will win a ring first and the Celtics are the better team
Kyrie getting clamped so far these 2 games he can’t get going they’re just pushing him around. Mavs role players aren’t good enough compared to the stacked Boston team
Once the celtics win g3, it would be funny to hear the luka is harden narratives again (not true, lukas better but the similarities are there).
Celtics have to be happy Nuggets got upset in 7 vs the Wolves, Luka is good but Joker is the best in the world.
Kyrie is choking and mavs role players aren't doing their job. Shame
Kyrie has a B game the Mavs win, we ball
