Shaq & Kenny React to Celtics Blowing Out Mavs in Game 1 of the Finals | NBA GameTime

[@Sam-db4mr]

Jaylen Brown had 22 points on 12 shots and also had 3 steals and 3 blocks and played spectacular defense. WTF is Shaq talking about saying Cs superstars need to play great??

[@siniister710]

shaq doesn't watch the games. He sees tatum and brown don't have 30+ on 50%+ shooting and assumes they're bums

[@besratg9207]

He wants them to be more aggressive They weren't aggressive and confident enough to be the primary ball handler and put up 30.

[@ndnd7614]

Celtics have too much depth. All they need is everyone to play average and they win by default. Mavs have only 2 shot makers and both are guards. Celtics with great perimeter defence means Mavs can never win the series.

Shaq is a terrible analyst. I am always surprised no one calls him out. Inside the NBA can survive without him to be honest.

[@Creep1ngDe4th]

He lives in the past where you used to need 1 or 2 superstars and a bunch of role/bench players to take home a chip. Doesn’t understand the concept of “team” because while I do like Shaq off the court, he never played for the team, always played for himself and his legacy.

[@oneyedthing]

That's the thing. KP dont need to be consistent to win games. Their defense as a whole opens up who can get it going offensively. If the going gets tough on both ends. JB and Tatum will be the one carrying the team. There is a reason why the C's kept the team core intact. Tatum, JB, White and AL

[@b-gamer340]

I guess Shaq wants 40 from Brown and Tatum every night. This Celtics team are a balanced group with Porzingis in the lineup. Brown had 22 and it was balanced. Tatum was also getting fouled with lots of no calls. Shaq watch the games man

[@danielthompson3928]

The Brown dunk that they keep on showing shows him getting grabbed by everyone on his way to the rim. The calls were completely one sided. There was even a play where Porzingis blocked a shot and they reset the clock for Dallas even though they should have had a shot clock violation because it went back to their possession.

I would like the Mavs to win but I’ve been worried about the Celtics if Porzingis could play. The Celtics have 4 all stars (Tatum, Brown, Porziņģis, Holiday) and then White who was on the second all defensive team. The team is loaded. Probably the best lineup since the Durant Warriors (KD, Steph, Klay, Draymond, Iguodala).

@DynastyIcon Tatum said he was nervous. Hopefully, he would play better. Few efficient 25-point games would do it

[@pdizzle5302]

The superstars did play well. Jaylen Brown carried them in the second half when the Mavs closed the gap and Tatum was smart to drive and dish because it completely dismantled the Mavs' game plan. Plus, Tatum's defense and rebounding was fantastic. I think Shaq watched a different game than I did.

[@nashtrucker9923]

youre absolutely correct. watch when Mavs start guarding the perimeter and Tatum ends with 40. then it's going to be Tatum can't pass....

It’s across the board on all media outlets. I’m simply not understanding the Dallas love. They are overwhelmed. Over matched. Out coached. C’s have the pieces to defend without help.

Perfect point Kenny at 8:40. Exactly right. Celtics have about 7 players that can give you 20+ points at any game. Go Celtics🎉

[@aesirgaming1014]

As a Celtics fan, the strength that Boston has is that we've been building this team concept for 5+ years. Back to the Danny Ainge era, the Celtics prioritized getting long, defensive-minded players that could switch multiple spots defensively. Stevens has largely entered the Front Office and simply doubled-down on the same concept (as opposed to a lot of new GM's who want to change everything to put their own 'stamp' on it). I think a lot of people pass over how incredibly beneficial this continuity was for Boston. Instead of trying to do things differently, Stevens got rid of some pieces that didn't fit and got some upgrades (Jrue, Porzingis, etc) that doubled down on the five-out offense that worked so well for Mazzulla. So this is a team that's really been in the making for years and has signed/drafted accordingly. Continuity is a huge part of success. The Patriots were great not just because of the Brady-Belichick combo, but because they had so much continuity with Belichick designing and running his team for two decades. The GSW were successful because they maintained the same core and head coach for so long (and Kerr plays a bit role in who the GSW acquire as well). Ainge did the best thing possible when he stepped down...passing the reins to his HC who shared his vision of what the team should be.

[@varj7]

Porzingis came to play. Shaq said it all when he said Kristaps seized the moment!

[@AaronBrown2015]

Kenny’s point about C’s 3 4 5 & 6 option making it hard for other teams 3 4 & 5 option to get mins is an excellent point and the reason why the Cs are the best team in the league talent-wise right now. Brad Steven’s obviously did an amazing job. Jaylen and Jason still doing a great job of leading this team.

Everyone claims the Celts had an easy run because of other team's injuries. Well Indy feasted on shots in the paint. With Porzingus there, it doesn't happen. The Celts were missing their two biggest players in the middle for Indy.

[@abegailmendez6434]

I have Dallas in 6 cause Luka and Kyrie is clutch and the best closer. But if Kyrie and the rest of the Mavs will not show up, then its a wrap in 4. I forgot this is a team game. I only consider that Tatum and Brown might fold when the game is closed and everybody is playing great. I forgot that the stage may not be brighter for Luka and Kyrie but for others, they are not yet ready at this level. While Boston been there in 2022. They have unfinished business.

[@CESAR-io6ob]

Agreed! This is Boston's year in my opinion. With Kristaps P. on the floor, is a different level Dallas has to content with. He's a more seasoned Victor Wembayama in my opinion. Pretty much just as tall! And talented. Dallas we'll make it a series no doubt.

[@bennytrue1068]

Tatum is still frustrating in closing time, but this year especially in the playoffs brown has been amazing in the clutch, and great defense

[@Ashish1984]

If KP wasn't here, I wouldn't be too sure. Tatum is being carried here. Without KP, all these games would have been close. Lol just like how they were couple seasons ago and Luka would win with a game winner.
