Tatum's low IQ: "We are world champions!" No, you are National champions - NBA means National Basketball Association. It's comparable to Spanish League champions. Nothing to brag about on the world stage but a good achievement for inside the USA. You couldn't win the World Cup (actual world championship) and you'll struggle to win the Olympics.
This is further than anyone thought the Mavs would go. At best they were expected to make it to the playoffs and lose round 1 this year. Everything beyond that was over performance. Happy what this team has done and we still have several moves to make to be long time contenders. 1. Trade Hardaway for picks 2. Sign a high end PF/SF 3. Resign Jones, make him the 7th man in the rotation. 4. Move Gafford to PF, make Lively the starting Center, make PJ Washington the 6th man. 5. Draft guard replacements from the Hardaway trade. 6. Release Kleber and Powell. Draft/Sign depth Center players.
Yp. Spot on. The need strong defenders, a good center and another good point guard to relieve Luka and Kyrie as Luka is playing WAY too much. Jordan played half as much as Luka is atm. Gafford is tradable btw as he's not that great in defense apart from outright blocking. Keep Lively.
The Celtics game 4 brick aside if I had to describe this series in one word for them it'd be "Swish!" 😉 Congrats to the Celtics & their fans! Your team earned & deserves the title this NBA season! 🏆🏀 Luka has to improve his conditioning. He lacked energy from the tip-off in game 5. I enjoyed the Finals despite Boston's dominance & rooting for the Mavs. Peace. 🕊
As a Mavs fan, I’m so proud of how far we got. Even as the 5 seed we made it all the way to the finals for only the third time in Mavs history. Props to the Celtics though, they overall were a pretty strong team. GG for now, we’ll be back next year!!
Taking Finals for granted would be a massive mistake. Once you're in the finals you better win as you most likely won't get another chance for decades.
Congrats the Celtics on clinching the NBA title. However, it feels like this victory is fortuitous to certain extents. They didn't perform as ecstatically as the overpowered Warriors did. The reason I compared them to Warriors is they often went isolation with their stars and won because of great defense not of delightful offense like the Warriors. Nonetheless, there is no better team this season than the Celtics and they have just won the first NBA ring in 16 years.
@@Swish2430 it just doesn't make sense to use that when talking about bad defense considering it's not a foul. There's 1000 other clips that you could have used idk why you're being so defensive it wasn't meant as an attack.
It was a great run by the MAVS... still proud of them for making it this far and proving so many people wrong. This will be a learning experience from them... and it will be the start for an even greater hunger for the MAVS... trust me... they'll be back to the Finals soon enough
Both teams have bright futures. Boston made the analysts that said they had an easy path to the finals. Well I think that’s completely been disproven since they dogwalked a team that had a tougher path leading into the finals
