Luka and Kai are on a mission and have taken down top tier competition to get here. I hope everyone saw what Luka did after a loss to Minnesota.. he ended the next game in the first quarter.. I really didn’t see the stage being too big for anyone in their journey. The best two players will be Luka and Kai and I don’t see them both having two bad games. The Celtics have not played anyone to get here and it will show. You gonna compare basketball player IQ and alpha mode with Luka and Kai vs Tatum and brown.. no contest. Mavs in 5 at worst 6.

[@espectrodelayautja6320]

I’m saying this and I’m out. Holiday has never been a factor on defense to Kyrie or Luka. He’s a liability this season. Y’all forget that Kyrie post up bigger people to include a healthy Klay. Kyle cannot guard either one of them to be effective. Tatum or Brown can opt to guard someone else. The Mavs defense get to rest because Boston does not force your hamstrings on fire. Kyrie and Luka get another series where they can hide on defense. Not only do they score, they get assist.

[@Ringostarr34]

Wait until you find out how different Holiday is defensively now that he has another elite guard in D White next to him and two elite defensive wings in Brown and Tatum. Your comparison is completely invalid.
