Story of the series. If the best offensive player on the court is also the worst defensive player on the court, that guy's team is in for a rough series.
That many turnovers is kinda normal when you're basically the entire offense. No argument with the defense and missed FT's, but the dude is carrying the team and they're obviously just too heavy and boston is so much better in almost every aspect.
Just another typical former player honk. Anyone who knows anything about hoops knows the Celtics will take the title because they won the off-season. They were the best team by far before they ever stepped on the court...
Bro, we still got two more to go. Hold it in. If we get to go to an 18th parade THEN we’ll have all off season to gloat. But hold it in for now lol two more!
@@Velveteenvision The best team in the West was the Nuggets. That's the team the Celtics were afraid of. Jokic is a match up problem for them and their team is battle tested. That game seven loss against the Timberwolves was a fluke and could have gone either way if it was played nine more times. The Timberwolves built their squad to beat Jokic with their size. And they did. But the Mavs beating them doesn't mean the Mavs were better than the Nuggets or were a more competitive team against the Celtics. I believe that this will be a four or five game series with the Mavs. Luka will try hard and Kyrie will play better at home. But the Celtics are just better and more disciplined. If the Celtics faced the Nuggets I think they would still win because of Jrue, but it would probably go six or seven games because Jokic would just win a couple on his own.
Almost to a man, the Celts are a group illustrative of blue collar personalities/dispositions, broad skillsets, High IQ's, strong intangibles, and a "We before me" mentality. All the elements of those classic championship Celtics squads. That naggingly gritty, clearly defined role, no nonsense, well coached, disciplined, fundamentally sound, 50-50 ball getting, style. This group epitomizes "Celtics" hoops. Props to the GM.
I think its between the three J's because Zingis Pingis isnt 100%. I know Tatum is struggling scoring but he is doing else at a great/elite level. Jaylen is being a two way menace like Holiday.
One last time I'ma say this. They said the Celtics had it easy and wasn't tested. The West was going to test them. Well they didn't have it easy. They made it look easy. And now they are passing the test from the West. Lol. We are witnessing a team that has been challenged. Learned from their mistakes. And now have now reached full potential and it's nothing nobody can do bout it.
They haven't learned anything lol. All they've done is upgrade their roster. Adding Holiday was a monster move. The guy isn't a flashy street baller, he's a legit point guard who plays the right kind of basketball and adding Porzingis gives them another talented center to take pressure off Big Al. The Celtics mostly lost previous seasons because Brown and Tatum can't win without a real point guard (Smart was a great player, just wasn't a point guard though)
How can you emphasize Holliday's scoring, while completely ignoring Tatum driving, drawing multiple defenders, creating the gaps in the paint and then making the correct pass each time. 12 assists w/ only 3 turnovers!
I never realized how badly Luka sucks on defense. He doesnt know HOW to play defense. It's not so much a lack of effort - even though the effort is poor - he literally doesnt know what he is supposed to do defensively. It's embarrassing.
This analysis: Porzingis won them game 1, Holiday won them game 2. Oh boy... The Celtics play better basketball AND they have great players. It's not one or the other, but both that makes them the best team.
I like how they had this Void of all Jaylen Brown highlights except that bs play at the end, but mentioned Jayson Tatum like 3-4 times and he been axx in both games.
JB is doing great, but so is JT. He had 9 Rebs, 12 Ast, and 18 pts. That's not as*. Plus, look at his defense and he's drawing double and triples. We, as Boston fans, have to also stop the who's better conversations.
Media hypes the INDIVIDUAL shooter who can score 40 points and lead his team to win. Ideal. But not always for world Championships. Tatum has so far turned around to become a playmaker and rebounder
If Dallas wanna beat the Celtics, they have to come up with a strategic plan on how to guard the Celtics, of which it's really difficult, especially guarding them one on one, and they have to shoot almost perfect from 3, like -80% or more, and 0 turn over; Ooh and hope the Celtics have a bad shooting night, like in game 2, 🤔🤔, which I really don't see it happening, needles to say, it's probably over in 5, if not a sweep 🧹🧹🧹🧹☘️💪
I'm hoping the Mavs find a way to make this a game 7 situation, but I think that in order to break the curse Kyrie caused when he stomped on the Boston mascot he will have to dress himself up as a Leprechaun and dance for the city of Boston and apologize.
Kyrie said it's definitely not all on me and then said it will take some of the blame... I wouldn't want him on my team and I had him on the Celtics before, Drew holidays a better leader and a better fit
Celtics play organised basketboll whose stars are two way players, Mavs are just all over the place while their two stars are amongs the worst defenders in the league
As a Celtics fan kyrie is done. he is not going to win a ring again. Unless he returns with lebron. and lebron don't looks so good either. and kyrie is not great as he thinks he is. because right now evidence is that. he would of had 2 or 3 rings by now. After lebron error. And he has zero. And mavs better get rid of him too. So Luka can get a ring. With a another elite player.🤣and kyrie is done and nobody knows it. And now he ain't nothing but a luxury tax to the NBA owners who's paying him. And for the money owners can get better players. That can get the job done.
@@KK-pm7ud bottom line it's over brother. This is kyrie last appearance. And watch what I tell you. He is done. And ain't surprised if they start pay cutting him. im telling you dude for real.🤨
Luka is despite his big personal offensive numbers he puts up, is a turnover machine on steroids! It ruins the rest of his production. Are you kidding? A so-called primo player in the NBA and some even hype Luka as being 'the best player on the planet' cannot cough up 8 stupid turnovers in the finals series. Luka too much resembles...wait for it...the repeated choker in the playoffs, James Hardin.
Luka had 9 points in second half, 3 points 1 assist 3 turnovers in 4 quarter and gets blown by on defense then just stand around, he ain't the best player in Dallas.
I don't know. They were 1 game away from beating a super team Warriors and I'm not even a Harden fan. If it wasn't for Chris Paul injury, they could have been hanging their 3rd championship banner
No one mentions that Luca had 8 turnovers and is a turnstile on defense. If Tatum did that, everyone would go nuts.
Story of the series. If the best offensive player on the court is also the worst defensive player on the court, that guy's team is in for a rough series.
Yea and he had 30 but only 12 in second half
Not to mention, Luka is a defensive liability... Whoever he guards can blow by him every time.
He was also terrible at the line. Luca fades in the fourth quarter, not fit.
That many turnovers is kinda normal when you're basically the entire offense. No argument with the defense and missed FT's, but the dude is carrying the team and they're obviously just too heavy and boston is so much better in almost every aspect.
Perk said Tatum had to be MVP and score 40 for the Celts to win.Wrong, Wrong and Wrong.
Um, Kendrick Perkins can barely tie his own shoes.
He couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and the a.
Just another typical former player honk. Anyone who knows anything about hoops knows the Celtics will take the title because they won the off-season. They were the best team by far before they ever stepped on the court...
Perk a clown, that's why he got booed
Crying about the foul when Tatum was getting hacked all night and brown got tackled on a 3. And they shot more free throws than
AND they still lost by 7
Thank you Kyrie for bringing this 18 banner to Celtics keep playing that style of play the Boston will thank you foreever
Bro, we still got two more to go. Hold it in. If we get to go to an 18th parade THEN we’ll have all off season to gloat. But hold it in for now lol two more!
Thank the Timberwolves for spoiling Jokic's second championship by building a team just to beat him; barely.
@@KK-pm7udyou really think the nuggets would’ve beat the Celtics?? I would hope so but I don’t think any team can beat the Celtics this year
😂😂😂

For KP to omit JT's 12 assists while being tripled is negligent at best and likely, simply personal and unprofessional.

JRU OR KRISTOFF FINALS MVP so far
I think its between the three J's because Zingis Pingis isnt 100%. I know Tatum is struggling scoring but he is doing else at a great/elite level. Jaylen is being a two way menace like Holiday.
Id say Brown is the front runner
so far, its jaylen brown, then jrue holiday, then kristaps porginzigis, then jayson tatum.

People picked Dallas smh, Luca rests on def and now has to guard up and getting exposed. High usage rate and resting on def is bad.
The crowd was heckling Luca's weight. Dude is getting hefty.
because that's what haters do
My nickname for him is “Luca bagadonuts”
Boston killing them on switches, LUCA CANT GUARD & Kyrie short on mismatches
Jrue is like the equivalent of adding Brogdon to Smart and multiplying by 600
Disresprectful. And pretty dumb.
I never realized how badly Luka sucks on defense. He doesnt know HOW to play defense. It's not so much a lack of effort - even though the effort is poor - he literally doesnt know what he is supposed to do defensively. It's embarrassing.
Kyrie too. Some players have the energy to play d and still energy to score more. It's very hard.
I think it’s the fact he’s just not in good shape. Watch him when he gets a fast break. He just slows down because he know he can’t outrun anybody.
Jrue Holiday is the real X-Factor. The Celtics are practically unbeatable when he & DWhite both score in double figures.
LUKA LET ME GET 40 POINTS AND GIVE UP 69 POINTS ON DEFENSE 😂😂
Hahaha tatum 6/22 mwa

It's the Finals of 2024,,, let's play!!

What else did JT do last game,,and all season!?!? Have you not noticed!?!?
Cornbread Maxwell!! All day long 😀
Foul on the back,,, how many fouls were missed on both sides 😮
They let a lot slide in the playoffs especially if its the first few games of a series
This series is over the next game Boston Celtics are too strong and tough for anybody in the NBA 😂
Big Perk 🤔 im confused,, appreciate you talking the game,,, but dang
When are they going to retire Big Perk and Malika Andrews?
Remember the old heads Luca compared himself to. Celtics closed ranks and shut down his comparison😮😮
Celtics plus the ref
Celtics play organised basketboll whose stars are two way players, Mavs are just all over the place while their two stars are amongs the worst defenders in the league
Do anyone see I in Team?!?? 🤔
Irwing got his pants full of s..t. he got scared
While Luka kick the ass. Even he didnt olay well
Could networks please get rid of Perkins? He is so dour, slow speaking, and makes some of the stupidest comments. Can’t watch or listen to him.
He’s perfect for tv and clicks, whether you like him or not. He’s got lots of personality and plenty of controversial hot-takes.
Kyrie had won against 3-1, he will win against 3-0 next😁😁😁
Dallas very stressful
Strait jacket is a better analogy than 'body bag'. Thats sick and disgusting.
Used to like perk , dude a Celtic hater it’s weird
Kp always hurt
Luka is becoming James Harden. Shows up fat and overweight. Scores at will but can’t play a lick of defense 😂😂😂
Sounds about right.

Mavs are a joke to be west champs...if this is what the best of the west has to offer...the west must be really weak...2 games in...not even close

Maybe but Harden would've choked earlier in the playoffs. Guaranteed.

No. The Mavericks will come back and beat the Celtics in 4 games.
How?
