That Boston run in the first half was impressive but is not sustainable, there were some crazy shots that went in, especially by Porzingis.

It’s not sustainable? Celtics literally did that all season lol

I still believe in Luka, Mavs in 7

Nah i don't see it, Wemby while having decent stats is way bellow Luka in terms of skill and just ability to win games. Plus Luka has more of that Swag and can talk shit to players which audience loves.

And Ant, well getting your back blown in playoffs like that sure is indicators who has bigger winner mentality and skill. I think Luka managed to shit talk every single player on his team and still outperform them all

I agree, just that while he has the strongest case for that it isn’t set in stone yet because of the factors I mentioned.

Ant has the talent and the personality and doesn’t have the problem of being overlooked since he’s an American player, tho KAT just laid an egg at the worst moment. He has the most potential besides Wemby. Both are far behind Luka who’s already firmly top 3 in the entire league. Barring any injuries they might try pushing that narrative with Wemby since he’s unlike any other player we’ve seen before, especially if he takes a leap next year.

Gotta go on a run in this finals tho, now down 2-0 Jaylen Brown killing them on BOTH ENDS.

Luka has to score at least 60+ for the Mavs to have a chance at winning 1 game right now... damn

Casuals when a historically good team is on the verge of winning a title

Nah I knew Celtics were the better team. I just bet on Luka dog walking these guys but Luka disappointed me, he's not there maturity wise. He cost them this game complaining and foul baiting the entire time while Kyrie was balling out. With Kyrie going off like that there was no excuse for a loss today.

1 player doesn't win titles on his own

Even the 22 finals the Warriors had a really good team. The Mavericks don't. Their offense is Luka + Kyrie and bail out threes and dunk. Take out the bail outs and they're screwed.

We literally saw this everytime Lebron went against a superteam

plus Luka literally doesn't play defense lmao

Luka is still young, he will learn hopefully and come back stronger. But this was a missed opportunity for Luka (unless he comes back from 3-0! this series). West will only get better.
Nevertheless, our boy Curry singlehandedly beat this team when Draymond was podcasting and Klay was shooting bricks

Curry did!

Curry did!

Curry had 3 players avg 15+ ppg plus they were a very good defensive team. The Mavs are just an ISO show

Curry did in 22. But Celtics learned from that loss clearly.

And the thing is the Mavs beat Twolves who were a more complete team in 5 games. Twolves beat the defending champs. Mavs also beat Clippers and OKC, two more complete teams playing this same style.

His second best player was fucking Wiggins! Now you see how big of a fraud Poole was. Draymond was so bad that he got benched. If that wasn't an ISO show, I don't know what an ISO show is.

 

[ZenZu]

Tatum remains a fraud btw. I didn't expect him to play well, but what I didn't know is he could play this bad and Celtics still dominate. That's crazy.

It's a game of matchups. The Nuggets and Wolves would've given us a lot more trouble due to the length. Most Celtics fans were rooting for the mavs lol, this was our easiest matchup

but it wasn't an ISO show lol. The Warriors pride themselves on their ball movement.

100% agreed there. As a Celtics hater I was praying they don't get Dallas from those 3 teams. Dallas is the most flawed of the 3, but Luka just bullied Twolves.

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Right, I feel Nuggets would have beaten Celtics
