Brown didn't play more than half of the 4th, cause they blew out the Mavs, but i agree Brown was a monster tonight. If he now just hits his free throws, just like 70+% i don't know how he wont win FMVP. Definitely the best player on the floor today.
Mavs in 6, Celtics will win 2 games by more than 10, Mavs will win 3 close games, and one by 10+. Celtics only did what they're supposed to do what they're expected to do, which is to win game 1.
Naaa JB is the best Celtic on that team been sayin it for years. TATUM needs some BlueBlockers cuz the lights too bright for that man. But we absolutely won tonight bc of KP tonight. He was looking like….dare I say it.. The MSG 🦄
@@hightolerance8728 I still think talent wise full potential it’s Tatum he’s put up them 50-60 balls easily he just needs to find his rythm he’s still the best player just not this series or these playoffs
Why were they acting like jaylen brown wasnt the best player in the floor tonight? Did they not watch the game, bro was ripping luka in the backcourt blocking kyrie and posterizing 2 guys like the disrespect is crazy
Shaq saying the Celtics role player's carried Tatum and Brown has got to be one of the most ignorant comments I've heard a sports commentator say. It's a team game, everyone played well they don't need a 30 or 40 point performance to win, Boston's built different then Dallas
Idk what game Shaq was watching saying JT and JB didn’t have to play great tonight JB had 22 pts shooting 58% from the field. Had 3 steals and 3 blks. He also lead in scoring on his team maybe he seen a different game than me tho 🤷🏽♂️
....your "superstars" played well, but BROWN definitely played well, why act like he didn't shine? Weird..it's like they don't want to give Brown credit for some reason
kenny was on point on his takes here. Luka (arguably) might be the best player on the court but the celtics just have too many options offensively and defensively
Why are these guys insinuating that Brown did bring it? The man had over 20 points on 12 shots while playing amazing defense. This is the problem with the new nba where we just want to see empty stats
Wearing the "Walton" T-shirts was a classy move by the Celtics. The Mavs supporting cast did not show up today. Lively was over aggressive and played poorly. The rest of the team was not aggressive and they all need to play better if they want a chance to win.
It’s because they don’t want brown to be the reason why the Celtics is so damn good. But we know he play a major part in what they do. Real NBA fans not sleeping on him. Do your thing Boi
What are they talking about that they need the superstars to play well? Jaylen Brown has 22 points and was Boston's highest scorer! Give him some credit!
@@GNt-kl4ro Kyrie, Luka, Tatum played poorly. Jaylen played great. There's more to playing well than matching your normal statistical output es evidenced by JB's great game tonight. Regardless, Shaq ignored Kenny's whole point. It's possible for the Celtics to win a game in which Tatum/Brown aren't great. It's almost impossible for the Mavs to win a game in which Luka/Kyrie aren't great.
@@doteth6603it’s different with Kyrie because the Celtic sweeeeept Kyrie and KD a few years ago 😂😂 and kyrie did f up the Celtics when he was on the team 🥸 the fans remember
Mavs should be mad at Porzingis not the otherway around. The guy couldn't buy a bucket when he was with the Mavs and the rest of the times he was injured.
In this playoffs, Mavericks strength has been lobs and blitz's. The Celtics took all that away from them tonight. It will be interesting to see what adjustments Jason Kidd makes.
@unhinged461 well I can't disagree with this. Let's see how game 2 plays out. I would love Mavs to win the chip because I want Kyrie to get a second one, but I would be also happy if Celtics wins this because they've been knocking on this door for too long. They deserve a reward for their consistency.
Shag doesn't have any insights on basketball, he just knows how to criticize someone who just won but for him didn't win good enough. Without Charles he is boring.
Chuck: “I think that in just 3 more games, Dallas’s season will be over and they’ll have plenty of time to go back to Texas and see some big ol’ women on the San Antonio Riverwalk.”
Mavs had reality check tonight. I said few days ago Mavs need at least 4 players playing the best basketball in their lives to have a chance against Celtics, just a chance.
My man Jaylen Brown was and IS incredible. Sadly, he gets very little recognition from the media. But we fans see, love, and appreciate that man. By the way, he is a genius who just happens to be an incredibly athletic basketball player. Respect.
Shaw gives no respect to Boston because he’s a former laker people lol he doesn’t want banner 18 to hang in Boston lol!! Boston has been here before and lost it and it’s basically the same team,so if you don’t think that they don’t know what it’s gonna take to get Banner 18 after all that heartbreak experiences from losing and coming up short isn’t motivation enough, then just keep doubting there starters.
This is not about that. It's Boston's D. When Kidd pulled the starters for good they had like 72-75 points. Mavs have a tough next 3 games ahead of them
Mavs in 6, Celtics will win 2 games by more than 10, Mavs will win 3 close games, and one by 10+. Celtics only did what they're supposed to do what they're expected to do, which is to win game 1.
@ponypower8 .... Could you please explain why the Mavs aren't SUPPOSED to win Game 1? And explain why things are going to go the way that you say, just because YOU said them?
Funny how, when Mavs won, all they talked about was what Minesotta did wrong. Now that Dallas lost, all they talked about what Celtics did right. This media is pointless.
Y’all mavs fans slept in the Celtics defense. You didn’t realize that last series Luka and Kyrie weren’t guarded very well Dallas played against Minnesota. The Celtics play real defense and get up in that az$z$, no easy shots for Luka and Kyrie 😂😂😂😂
Defense? Sure Boston had a number of blocks, but Dallas was weak taking it to the basket except for Doncic. He showed the playbook, but the rest of his team couldn’t hit an open shot. Boston did via the 3. Dallas couldn’t even hold onto the ball without fumbling it around out of bounds. This was expected that only Luka would show up in the first game. Don’t forget, KP played for Dallas and he will go missing in this series. He can have a great game one night and be a complete liability the next.
Honestly, great job on the defence, yes, you have a nice team there in Boston, props to the Celtics. Still like our chances though, the mavs can adapt. Enjoy the series, hopefully its a good one!:)
Sota ran outta gas in Denver. They couldn't play defense. They were exhausted. That's what happens when you build a team to beat a specific team. They beat Denver. They weren't able to continue.
I think Luka plays at such a slow pace and most times is getting 2s while celtics over there launching 3s. I think Mavs need to pick up the pace to be able to keep up with celtics scoring
Kyrie def looked uncomfortable out there, I think that Boston crowd got to him. They had the building SHAKING. Kye needs to get on the phone with Bron and get some advice on how to block out a roaring crowd that absolutely hates you
No corner threes and no lobs, if you can stop those two... dallas is gonna be in trouble. but impossible to say that celtics can do it every game. this will be fun series
Rooting for the Mavs and struggled watching this game but I have to give Porzingis credit for coming into the arena with a Bill Walton shirt that was classy and he deserves the credit for helping the Celtics win.
I don't understand the notion that Jaylen didn't play well. 22pts on 12 shots with 3 blocks and 3 steals seems pretty good to me. Jayson had a weird game. Fine but overpassing a bit and sloppy with the ball.
Kenny sayin' some slick ish to Grant; it looked like Grant wanted to smack the hell out him. Sometimes, I feel Kenny passive aggressively flaunts his rings at Grant, but Grant always keeps it classy.
KP didn't play it safe. He came out to win. The team saw that he was ready to go to work and supported his campaign. They were brilliant. It was impressive to watch.
Jaylen Brown didn’t play well or step up? The man play outstanding defense while being aggressive going to the hole and drawing fouls! What else does Shaq want to see from that? 30points? This Boston is balanced and prides themselves on defense first! Checkmate
there was a big narrative that only western teams mattered, and only their records should count in the mvp race so even if Boston had the best record their record doesn't count, because they are in the east, and most of their games were against eastern teams
Krispas was a big factor, but definitely a team win. Seems to me Derrick White's hustle and Jaylen Brown's toughness and all around game brings the intensity and focus to the team.
@juwanharris5425 grow up and watch more basketball if u think him losing a game or even this series diminishes the player he is. He just ran through the entire western conference on a bum knee.
@juwanharris5425 fyi you are gloating about a Celtics win to a Celts fan from ma. Anyway, I'll say it again: there's nothing that could happen in this series that would make me think Luka isn't the second best player in the world rn
