01) On paper, Boston is the best team I've seen in a long time. All five of their starters are stars. Derrick White & Jrue Holiday are both Defensive 2nd team and were 6th & 8th in line for DPOY this season. That is a nasty defensive backcourt. With their defense noted, they are also putting up 15 & 12.5 ppg... not slouches on offensive either. Jaylen Brown & Jason Tatum are all-stars with crazy versatile size, strength, & athletism. Then you have Porzingis, former all star, averaging 20 points per game. 6th man Al Horford has been playing very well for this team. Boston with homecourt should be favored to win. 02) With that being said I want Luka & Gafford to win a ring. Big Gaff seems like the nicest and most respectful person in the room, and Luka is the face of the league who has been talked down about & underestimated by NBA media for years. As a huge Mavs fan for years, I watched this team basically go through a restructuring after losing Brunson for nothing. 03) For the Mavs to have a real shot, the role players are going to have to step up. Celtics have versatile defenders, so if they double Luka or Kyrie, the role players have to capitalize on the passes. Luka needs to step up and have some big games early.
Celtics in 5-6 Games, A healthy Porzingis will help space out the Celtics offense more, and with the Mavs offense relying heavily on isolation basketball and Luka and Kyrie, the Celtics shut both of them down and force the Mavs role players to take all the shots
I think there will be a couple of stars who are looking at q possible destination. So even if The Mavs don't win this year I think they only get better and just come back next year. For The Celtics who knows what happens if they lose.
I personally want The Mavericks to win it all this season, I predicted that they would reach the NBA Finals and if Luka wins this chip he would be in conversation for The Greatest Dallas Maverick OAT all tho Dirk would still have an edge it wouldn't take him long to catch up.
IDA, MJ would have had to make up a modern 25+ pts difference, while LJ would have smoked the nets off the 80s & 90s goals. LJ's game is still supermodern for another decade. LJ
It´s pretty simple: both teams feel very comfortable at the moment and both have great team spirit. That´s why this is a very fitting final after the season we just witnessed. Both teams are led by players which are just entereing their prime, both teams, have great third and fourth options or great young talent and the only obstacle feeding your claim is Kyries "high" age of 32, but if i think about what we´ve seen from him the last weeks no one should be worried about the nearer future. Simply put: if the frontoffices in Boston and Dallas keep their cool about the finals results this year, we could watch two dinasties in the making, Us refering to this decade as the Mavs/Celtics-era in hindsight is absolutely possible.
The mid 2000s wasn’t a grid lock. The Spurs won every other year (03, 05, and 07) with three different Eastern Conference teams winning as much as the Spurs combined in the years The Spurs didn’t (Pistons in 04, Heat in 06, and Celtics in 08).
Mavs in 6. This may be the most competitive finals in modern NBA history, but unless Boston wins both game 1 and 2 at home, there is no way the handed-to-em Celtics get this done
Calling the warrior's a dynasty is laughable 2015: cavs injuries 2016: greatest choke job in sports history 2017/2018: KD, the greatest warrior of all time carried them 2019: Injuries cost them a ring 2022: tatum choked but that isnt the warriors problem End of the day the warriors EARNED 1 ring. Fakest dynasty of all time.
...... same ol' crap..... Dallas beats the #4 Clippers, the #1 Thunder and the #2 T-Wolves and the talk is, well, they didn't beat Denver... actually they beat Denver right before the playoffs but they were too shitty of a team to make it to the WCF ..... but details, you're on a roll, so keep spreading your manure......
If Kyrie wins its definitely going to show that he could win without Bron. Shape the narrative the way u want but it will be great for Kyries career and he'll probably be praised more for the 2016 championship run.
