Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[DJ]

The Celtics road to the Finals was as easy as anyone ever because they faced injured opponents.

But they were clearly the best team in the East all season long and they probably would have got here playing the top teams at their best.

So I am going to push back on anyone that tries to claim that in the only reason the Celtics are here.

Ninja'd me....LOL.

He and Luka couldn't stand each other. That's a wrap

That’ll do it! Lol

Eurotrash enmity.

Rooting for the Mavs, but the Celtics having White and Holiday to cover Luka and Kyrie will be the difference in this series.

If Tatum and Brown are the best players they should be taking turns on Luka. This is the Finals. More size and length to deal with for those guys

I think Luka gets it done

He will

Of course they will fill in, but the Celtics being able to guard those guys while keeping their top 2 offensive players free will be a key to this series

Can both teams lose? Asking for a friend.




It should be a great series. I'll go Celtics in 7, just for home court.

I can't think of a team that is better set-up to slow down Luka than the Celtics...

... the problem is that Luka might be unstoppable. Dude is quite possibly the best offensive player (from a total standpoint: individually and in terms of team involvement) to ever pick up a basketball.

Agree. I'll say Mavs in 6...

Aren't they like 3-4 in Boston this postseason? Or something like that?

Thought I heard an announcer say that recently.

May be the Wolves you were thinking about, Celtics have only lost 2 games all playoffs. By my count the celtics are 6-2 at home this post season with one loss each to the Heat and Cavs

That's right....

Brain fart.

Mavs in 7. Luka breaks the heart of all Bostonians in a game 7 performance for the ages

I’m just an outsider-casual-homer fan who saw more Celtic games than anyone on this site … so I sayin’ nuthin’!

I've been rooting for the Mavs all year.

The most valuable player in the league is on that team.
