Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[PPhan]

I hate to admit, but I have a feeling Boston wins this....especially if Porzingis is healthy enough to play the way he can.

No one really knows in this series. On paper it’s Boston but Dallas was the hot team coming in……and Porzy likely won’t be 100%

The key is being healthy enough to keep the centers out of the paint

He also wiped his feet on the Celtics logo as a meme her of the nets so it’s all bs

I'm liking him more and more!

Is he really going to be a plus on defense? I guess the other big options aren't great either.

 

[Wamu]

They’d likely have bridges or sga if they never made the deal

Danny also had the assets to trade up for luka

Damn.

He is keeping lively and gafford away from the rim

Dallas hasn’t had to do that yet defensively this run

I re watched both reg season games. You are spot on with Gafford and lively. They use them like we used Robert Williams as the escape shot on drives. Ally oops. That offense cannot be allowed.

I was alive for that, but good chance I was home asleep or maybe watching Electric Company?

Irving signed his first signature athlete to his ANTA shoe line, his dad.....Dredrick Irving.

This marks the first time in pro sports a player has signed his dad to a signature shoe deal.

Gotta great laugh outta this.

Mavs' Irving reflects on Celtics tenure: 'I wasn't my best self'

Yeah F-U Kyrie. I hope the Celtics home crowd gives him shit each game.

He shouldn't have said anything at all.

He isn't sorry for as much as he should be sorry for.

The too-limited apology, however, does sound fairly sincere as far as it goes.

I hear ya....wish he grew up when he was still here, too (Cavs).

How a $750,000 tanking fine helped the Mavericks reach the NBA Finals

Dallas' run to the 2024 Finals actually started last April, when a controversial end-of-season tactic helped the Mavs keep their draft pick and land their center of the future.

He seems less bad than before. But less bad than before isn't necessarily all that great.

It used to be that he wanted:

• To be an influential public figure.
• To have the public give him a lot of slack because he didn't have the time to actually learn about the stuff he was holding forth about.
• To have his privacy respected.
• To have the public give him a lot of slack because of his personal emotional struggles.

And that isn't even the whole stew.

There were some serious issues here.....Jason Lloyd reported he would go weeks without talking to anyone at practice.

This makes no sense until you realize it’s Kyrie.

So…
