Because the ppl at espm don’t watch the games fr. These guys literally have no choice but to watch all 82 games and remember what they saw, to go on tv the next day and they’re genuine fans.

With KP back the Defense of Boston is up to elite level. They did not allow even 1 lob dunk and had as many blocks as Dallas had assists in the game. They took away the corner 3 and neutralised Kyrie. Defense is very sustainable. Tough matchup for Dallas.

@@mrmillennium2697Tatum played great outside of a few sloppy turnovers. He set the pace early and created wide open 3s for others, and he was being doubled and tripled on every drive so I’m happy he didn’t force up his shot.

Better shooters around, better chances to get your assists up. But Luka was too ball dominant this game, trying to win alone. But its impossible, C are too good, especially with KP. To Mavs win at least one game they need both Luka and Kyre a perfect game and even then it could be not enough.

I told everyone the Celtics are horrible matchup for Dallas just like Denver is a horrible matchup for the Celtics. Look at the regular season game Luka got a triple double Kyrie had 20+ points in the Celtics still beat them by 28 points. Dallas will learn and in a couple years they will probably be back in the finals contending for another one. Celtics put together a squad to win a trophy they don’t care about one person scoring 40 points

I've been saying that, the Celtics couldn't have wished for a better match-up from the West's last 4 teams. But Ky will leave Dallas not long before they get the right personnel
