these celtics remind me to 2012 heat the year before they lost to mavs and whole nba fanbase wanted thunder defeat miami right now nobody except boston fans want to see celtics winning all.When they lose a game in playoffs people are cussing them but when they win is because of injuries
Kyrie Irving, one of the most skilled players to ever touch a basketball, is not as good as the guy who has a hard time dribbling with his left hand. Ok.
Can’t agree with that. I take Dallas. They’ll take all the close games. Tatum is no Luka. He’s not Kyrie. His team is loaded but their play ceiling is not that high.
I really can’t wait to watch Luka and Kyrie being forced to defend. The Celtics HUNT matchups more than anyone in the league. The Jays, White and Holiday are going to FEAST on Luka and Kyrie
Boston had a great season and has a Superb and versatile starting 5. This year is different and they will get it done. Tatum and Brown entering their prime with tons of playoff Experience.
I would laugh if Minnesota wins 4 straight not saying it will happen probably won’t but I would not be totally shocked as this series has been close Minnesota has lead in every game but Luca and kyrie best closers in the NBA so they could beat the Celtics, given a chance Minnesota could beat them. Dallas going to take it and I am wolves fan. Colin always biased towards East coast or West coast teams. Knicks are not better than Nuggets or Timberwolves
I'm a Celtics fan, but this is wrong on so many levels. First, the Mavs haven't advanced passed the Wolves when you've uploaded this, can we wait a sec? Second, the size and defense the Mavs have been playing can absolutely wreck the Celtics. They both have very unique match-ups, and I wouldn't be surprised if it went to 7 where the Celtics can't be a shoe-in to win because they don't play well at home. I agree that Dallas won't play with as much pressure, which is good. Can't say the Mavs have no shot, Luka and Kyrie are good enough to shoot the Celtics out the gym.
Colin so far Mavs have no chance against Clippers Mavs have no chance against OKC Mavs have no chance against Wolves And now Mavs have no chance against Celtics Result is always opposite of what he predicts lol.
Mavericks was the easiest matchup Celtics could’ve asked for. They will win this series in 3rd gear. They probably give Mavs two games and win in 6. Doncic will not be able to do what he wants against Holiday, White, Tatum, Porzingis.
Luka- Jaylen matchup up favors Jaylen. Luka is TIRED and not in the shape jaylen is in. And no shot he can stay with Jaylen defensively. Kyrie-jrue same situation. Non factor defensively and jrue will stay right with him defensively. There’s a reason the celts are such heavy favorites. The mavs are possibly the easiest matchup we could have had. Denver and Minnesota both would have been much harder matchups.
This isn't the best playoff series we've ever seen. Almost 2 sweeps in the WCF and ECF. That's awesome? I know parr of their job is to sell the NBA, but we have eyes too.😮
Mavericks have good, underrated young bigs, Celtics do not have a good athletic big. For the finals, injuries often are key. Celtics have banged up centers in KP and Kornet. KP has not played since April 29. Dallas have players with nagging injuries: (Lively---neck, Kleber---shoulder, Prosper---ankle). And Doncic is listed questionable with knee injury.
So the NBA is just a glorified game of rock paper scissors? lol/ If it always just ends up as being luck of the draw for the matchups. Then it just means the GMs are not doing their job of making a balanced team. It boggles the mind with a team of 12 wont have the necessary players that could help them cope in every situation. GMs are not doing their job.
