Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[Stakesarehigh]

Hardaway can shoot you out of series, not just games

He is cooked

Jesus, I never realized Doncic was such a shit defender.

Dallas does a good job of masking him

He's always been brutal and whining bitch

Just made up for it on the other end

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Another TEAM win.

1 more to go.

 

[PnkPanther]

Not that it made a difference, but that officiating was brutal

Feel same about wcf

Absolutely. He needs a T.

Just a shameful performance out of Dallas these Finals. This ain't taking away from Boston. They're playing well, had a great regular season with a couple of shakey games here or there in some other series, they're bringing it. But Dallas looks like a team that won the conference championship and thought the parade was already booked. Just thoroughly out-everythinged right from the tip of game 1. Not meeting the moment on any level at all

The more i look at how this series is playing out, I think Minnesota would have matched up better with Boston

Better role players and no cones on defense

Boston still win that series but not in a sweep

Brown is 10 times the alpha that Tatum is

Yes.

Tatum is the more talented player, but Brown is the Alpha.

 

[Duffman]

Kyrie finally shows up in a big way tonight and Luka has his worst game of the series, Dallas just can’t put anything together.

Maybe the West is not that much tougher than the East like everyone thought. The teams in the East have given the Celtics a better series so far.

Browns team

They won't win again though.

Someone else's turn next year.

was that a typical near collapse or what? … but this year they’re finally able to keep their heads on … I gotta give some a lot to Mazzulla

 

[realityball]

Yes.

Tatum is the more talented player, but Brown is the Alpha.

Tatum’s turning into a Cousy- Havlicek-Pierce type team player … it suits him

I asked before this series if the haters would ever give Mazz credit. Still waiting but it shouldn't be long. They're quickly running out of excuses.

The West was more talented than the East this year(and has been for several years IMO) but the matchups up at the top were what stood out. It was basically a game of rock paper scissors between the Nuggets, Wolves, and Mavs.

I’m sure people will say it’s because I’m a Nuggets fan but they absolutely would’ve beaten the Mavs and likely have 1-2 wins in this series against Boston but they just ran into the only team they were completely outmatched by which was the Wolves. And the Wolves had the exact same thing happen where they ran into the only team that they were outmatched by in the Mavs.

I watched maybe 50 games this year and these playoffs are amazing me … they really have taken a turn … 3 pts after blowing a 21 pt lead and I (for the first times in years) truly thought they could pull it off …
