Celtics feel like they've "paid their dues" in a sense, they've been knocking on the door for awhile now and their stars have finally reached that level of maturity, confidence, and hunger to grab the title. Can never count out Luka, but I feel like Celtics definitely are the favorites.

yan't get right

Mavs need Contrarian Kyrie back, especially in TD. Forget all that healed shit lmao. Who else is gonna pull a ‘22 Draymond game 3

I’m impressed by the white-jrue combo….they always find ways to impact the game even without scoring….energy is still the same,it’s really rare…Boston kryptonite is quick shifty guards that gets to the cup(poole,nembhard…) is kyrie still at that stage of his career?…

Mavs in 6

I’m rip a pod tomorrow with thoughts on the latest warriors talk. Let me add that question in 🙏🏽

Hookah in 6 should be the mantra chant lol

Ruben Valce

I got the Hookah in 6. The Mavs will make adjustments and be much better Sunday and on

This might not be the forum, but have to ask - any thoughts on TK’s recent article comparing JK to Jaylen Brown?

Kinda irrelevant but KP in 2k16 was a sleeper black top pick

Jimmy Ji

Agreed. There's also a scenario where Boston could shoot even better from deep because they also missed a bunch of open looks. There was a crazy stat from game 1 and Boston generated like 14 more open shots than Dallas.

Athletic Alchemy

It’s a fine line they missed a bunch right at the break which is a spot all guys rep out. But if Jaylen can hold up on Luka like that it’s gonna be tough in the half court

Athletic Alchemy

I expect them to really check KP toughness.. specially at the rim . Try and get him out there.

Wasn't expecting KP to look that good. That run at the end of the 1Q reminded me of the dynasty Warriors. I agree though, Dallas needs to get physical, but others need to show up. That's probably not a blowout if anyone besides Luka scores more, but obviously Boston's D has a lot to do with that too. Just hoping for a longer, competitive series.

I liked Boston's strategy of allowing above the break three's but taking away the corners and high percentage shots in the paint. They executed the plan to perfection and are probably comfortable turning this series into a shooting match. Boston's been the best 3 point shooting team this season and it's not even close so I think they are comfortable letting it play out that way. Dallas hasn't lost a game two in this playoff run so this series probably hinges on the outcome of game 2.
