Not a celtics fan, and i never underestimated yall. Its true your path is easier to the finals compared to the west, but the mavs team sucks compared to the Celtics
Mavericks relies on their superstars while the Celtics relies on their ball movements and their suffocating defences. Celtics copied this game style from the Spurs. In fact, the former Celtics coach Ime Udoka was once a player and also an assistant coach for the Spurs. As an assistant coach, he got his nba championship in 2014. When he became the head coach of Celtics, he immediately applied Gregg Popovich’s playbook in his team. I’m so puzzled why they chose Mavericks over Celtics to be the nba champion since the two great dynasty teams Spurs and Warriors got their rings through their astonishing ball movements and defences.
a couple of years ago kyrie promised the Boston that he will help them get a ring, maybe his abysmal performance this series is the fulfillment of that promise
As a celtics fan, it was funny how everyone were saying celtics is just lucky to be in the finals with the weak east and that the true finals is the wcf. Boston is loaded. That being said it is just game 2. They won 2 home games. The mavs just have to defend homecourt to even it up. If the celtics win 1 in dallas that should do it. I don't ses mavs winning 3 straight
Good stuff I've been a Cs fan for almost 40 yrs..(I'm 45) and I've seen some great teams the 80s bird McHale teams the big three in 08 and I honestly belive this team is just as good...CELTICS IN 5 all day LFG 🏆 18
Honestly bro once I found out we were playing the Mavs in the finals I started celebrating like we already won the finals I knew we had that in the bag.
"We all underestimated" I've watched every game they've played this season, and they are simply continuing to play like they have been the entire time.
Not gonna lie, I felt this would be a series of blowouts once the Nuggets were eliminated. But I did expect once Boston smelled blood or injury, they would attack that, you saw it with Haliburton and the Hamstring issue, Donovan Mitchell and his ailmentments, Spulstra knew what was up which is why Dunken R. Played less minutes. They wear down your top players, by designing the game plan based on your top players injury or ailments, not to mention blitzing Luka would result in him having to work less because he will get pass and set plays up, so they play him straight up in hopes of him driving to increase the odds of him aggravating his pain to wear down Luka his pains, causing him to have…..Celtics needed to be ruthless, and Missoula shows no Mercy in pursuit of that banner. He Wants it! As much as he did as a die hard Celtics fan growing up as a kid.
Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Who's "we" Boston fans knew that they had a team while the Mavs had a group of guys with their names on their jersey
Lmao the double team is to force the ball out of tatum hand and it worked in game 1 with 6 turnovers. Tatum shots are mostly 1on1 and open shots and he couldnt hit them.
I WANT THE SWEEP! Not because I hate the mavs or kyrie bit because everyone decide they hate boston so much and think luka is the next coming of Jesus himself.
Mavs lost because luka had 4 points in the 4th and once again kyrie didnt show up...the celtics as a team simply played better ...its really that simple
