[@808bAler]

The Mavs' performance was due to exceptional defense by the C's. Luka can't get assists if his mates can't score. I'm happy the Unicorn finally has a chance to compete in meaningful games.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

Luka also can't get assists if his mates are well covered when he would want to pass to them. According to Windy, his teammates were 1 for 6 in his assist opportunities, so he only tried to pass to them 6 times. Typically, he would have around 20 assist attempts, or more when he gets a triple double and they shoot around 50% on the passes.

"Luka is more capable of scoring on any of these guys". Legler sir.. More like, Boston guarded him with DISCIPLINE. Luka got a quite 30, he played bad the 1st half, he didn't get going until later in the 3rd. They didn't bite into his baits, like his pump fakes to initiate contacts, he also didn't get to get to the line as much as he usually do either. Boston also didn't give him any room for him to do his lil stepbacks, like he always do. Luka just gotta get more moves in his bag. I've been saying that, Jaylen Brown can guard Luka on his own COMFORTABLY. And he did just that. Even Holiday did good on Luka. Dallas are going to need more than just Ky and Luka. If their role players don't step up. Then there is no way, they can beat Boston.

Its just game 1. Dallas has lost all game 1s this playoff. Calm down

ESPN has gambling apps sponsored. More talking heads say Mavs win, the more money gambling apps get. And general Celtics hate and being labeled superteam.

@@kew402 Not true, they won game 1 against the Wolves. Celtics have 5 players that can score, which is not what MIN had. A different task for the Mavs defense.

Jason Kidd already throwing in the towel with his moral victory comments lol. "We won the 4th" Umm yeah, congrats on your team scoring more points than the bench in garbage time in a 20-point game.

Celtics gotta win game 2 to prove anything. Which will be tough as they have lost every game 2 after the first game was a blowout. Think it's more likely they lose game 2 than win it.

Game was a vivid reminder of how good the Celtics can be with the healthy starting five. Adding Holiday and Porzingis to a team that was already a contender - they can all shoot, and everyone is a good defender. Mazzulla’s coaching shouldn’t be underestimated. With the talent laden epic fails in recent years, e.g., Nets & so far Suns, it’s obvious that talent alone is not enough. This Celtics talent has gelled into an historically great team. I hope the Mavs can find answers to make this a competitive series. Kyrie should be better for sure, and help defense should improve with a game behind them.

I feel like that wasn’t the greatest advice that Jason Kidd gave his team. “It’s only game one, it’s a series remember that.” The Celtics were playing like it was game seven and you should play every playoff/ finals game like it’s the last game of the season.
