Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[Manster7588]

It’s just one game. But I will say the league should be embarrassed about how they rate Jaylen Brown. That man may be the most complete two way player the playoffs have seen this year

I hope he holds that in throughout the series.

So I guess with Porzingas back this'll be a sweep

Piping hot take there

They rate him 2nd team all NBA where he belongs dude

They don’t need to move the ball much when you have those two. But not doubling was the story

Luka's teamates score 57% of the time on Lukas assists. Luka needs to put up his 30+ which he likely will do but he needs to get near 10 asst for the Mavs to win.

Boston played him great. He's use to guys dropping off their coverage so he can get them the open shot. Boston didn't do that. That confused Luka. Look at him to shoot more in game 2.

I would argue the score clearly shows they need to move the ball more.

So we agree there are no superteams today....but it's starting to feel like the Celtics this year are lil' superteamy?

No top 5 guy but a top 8 guy (JT), a top 15 guy (JB), a top 30 (KP) and a top 50 (Holiday), and good role players like White.

These guys dominated the regular season more than any team since the KD warriors. Played good D and O, tons of 3s.

It's looking like a coronation...these guys looked great when I said they were gonna win the title 3-4 months ago, not some big deal to pick the favorite. But that's my point: these guys are close to super. Easy pick well before the season ended.

Celtics Sweep.

One down, three to go.

One down, three to go.

Is that how it works?

Before drake:

Celtics in 7 agonizing games


Post drake:

Celtics in 3

Heavy action coming in on Celtics in 1 quarter.

Are there stats on easiest path to a Championship?


Not to downplay Bostons season. Or their overall ability. Great year, borderline great team.

Just wondering where this path stacks up.

Those numbers can't be true. There's a poster on here that insisted game 1 is meaningless or something to that effect. Otherwise that would make him a liar as it wasn't an opinion. He stated it as fact.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

They just had nearly a week off before game 1...now they get 2 more days off before game 2 on Sunday.
Seriously though...the PTB in the league front office really need to cut back on the number of games in the regular season by ay least 10 per team.
But I'm sure they won't even consider it because rea$on$$$$.

Heavy action coming in on Celtics in 1 quarter.

They went from +275 prior to game one to +400 after to win it all.

Which poster?

Never mind.

I went back a few pages and found out who you meant.

Cmon man.

They are a very good team. What makes them good is that they have 6 high level starters. Their 5th best player would be a 2 or 3 on almost any other team.

That does not make them a superteam. That isn’t what a superteam is.


Celtics are a lot closer to ‘04 pistons than 2012 Heat in terms of roster build.

That was my post and it sure looks like I was wrong about Celtics fans being able to grasp it.

LOL.
