Gracious of you to congratulate the Celtics. The Celts now have a window of about 3 years in which they should be among the small handful of teams that can win a title. A lot will depend on what Brad Stevens does as some of the pieces need to be reshuffled. Horford probably needs to take a smaller role as he gets another year older, and Holiday may not be this elite in 2-3 years That said, Tatum and Brown are in the exact middle of their prime years, and Derek White is a big time player too. For your Lakers, there is more work to do. LeBron has been superhuman to play as well as he has for his age, but the times when he can just rise up and carry his team are getting more infrequent. A.D. is of course a great player. But you need more than a few buckets from guys like Hachimura to win against the good teams. Well, it's a long offseason. We'll see how the front offices do.

For a guy who does this for a living, pretty shocking to hear he (Legler) liked the Mavs to win the series. I just follow in passing and with respect to who I would drop some money on in the series, but when I see the Mavs, I basically see 2 players - you can't win with just Luca and Irving!!! Meanwhile, as Legler himself noted about Boston: they have too many good players and will make you pay for mistakes - well, yeah! ... Also, this Boston team could have beaten Golden State in the Finals a couple of years prior, where I had a few dollars on the Warriors in that series and was bailed out by that vintage Steph Curry performance late in game 4, or else the Warriors would have found themselves down 3-1 in the series, with Boston riding all the momentum. And that Warriors team was light years ahead of this Mavs team. As for that "worst NBA Finals ever" headline above, quickly went through the video a few times and did not see where Legler, or anyone else said that. Regardless, obvious rebuttal is there have been bigger lopsided match-ups and subsequent results in the history of the NBA Finals.

The biggest difference is that anytime Boston had any lineup out there, you knew they could put up points.

Luka did what he could while having a bad knee with medication. Kyrie, needs his woman to give him some on the Celtics court so he can get over his issues. Boston has a great team and the trust is off the charts, Congrats to Boston. Hoping my Mavs come back better next year.

Correction! 30 PTS & 10 AST IN TITLE-CLINCHING WIN Mon. Jayson Tatum (DAL) 2017 Kevin Durant (CLE) 1991. Michael Jordan (LAL) 1988. James Worthy (DET) 1970. Walt Frazier (LAL) In 2017 Mr. Durant (Kevin) averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assist in 5 games in the 2017 NBA Finals. Wardell Stephen Curry II only averaged 26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 9.4 assist in 5 games in the 2017 NBA Finals. Please remove Wardell Stephen Curry II out of Mr. Durant (Kevin) 4th spot on the 30 PTS & 10 AST IN TITLE-CLINCHING WIN.

The reason why Dallas sucks, it's because of Luka and kyrie they are a true crocodile they want to shoot the ball by themselves, and Luka is like a pig he moves too slow

[@tiffanimorris7127]

Haters gonna hate!! The. Celtics despite what critics say, are and have been the best team all year!! The Celtics are a juggernaut and the series really was a mismatch. Luka and Kyrie are exceptional generational talents but the Celtics are stacked!! You can't take your foot off the gas pedal when you're playing against Luka and Kyrie

[@tiffanimorris7127]

Pretty sure the 2017 and 2018 Finals was worse. A superteam waltzing their way to an easy championship since start of the season will always be worse.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

Yeah I agree. But those dumb fans thought the Luka and Kyrie would have all these amazing highlights against a Celtics team that isn't battle tested and would lose in 6 games. So the actual Finals didn't reach those expectations.

[@silloweet]

Those were some of the best and most exciting championships

[@jctslice]

False. Those finals still were better because LeBron was involved. That alone generates more interest than 25 year old Luka and 2 boring stars in JT & JB

[@SorleyKringle]

Celtics are underrated because they are not flashy. Remind me of the Spurs of 10 years ago, who developed a culture within the team and won 5 titles. Jalen brown is underrated. He is stronger and more athletic than given credit. Boston is a machine. Great team ball and defense, coaching. A great player can win a game, but it takes a great TEAM to win a series.

[@nhmountains5683]

Jalen needs to improve his free throws and he will move to the next level. He’s a liability if he’s put on the line at crunch time when they are needed. He stepped up on everything else the past few years. He can improve the free throws too. He deserved the Finals mvp award.

[@cooljp1531]

This team is nothing like those Spurs. This team just shoots a bunch of bullshit threes all game and has no game plan. Spurs used to move the ball around at speeds and precisions nobody on the Celtics can even dream of. Besides Kawhi alone is better than the entire Celtics roster. Ridiculous comparison. Even old Timmy, Tony and Manu were better than anybody on this team. Spurs would beat this Boston team by 30-50 every game. After all they beat LeBron, Wade and Bosh by the widest margin in finals history, and before that they had some games vs KD and Westbrook where they led by 40, so I am not exaggerating at all.
