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.

[@mellotainment]

No it’s boring without LEBRON and you know it

[@EtreNameless]

He never said this was the most boring finals ever

[@dropshot3113]

Boston showed great basketball, and team play. Props from a Mavs fan. I'm happy with my team - 5 months together, no experience, and made it to the finals. Great season. Luka's injuries got him in the end - his legs were shot for a couple of games, now. Most visible with the steep fall off on the outside shots, and airballs. Healthy and better next year - hope we get back! Enjoy it, Celts.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

You realize teams physically press up on Luka defensively because he breaks down on purpose? Luka needs to actually work on his body and conditioning or else he will never come close to a Finals ever again. His body will continue to break down unless he takes care of it. Jaylen Brown wore Luka down the entire series.

[@dontwaittobegreat5808]

I love how this man Luca made no excuses, and gave respect to his opponents!

[@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.

[@kelvinlee7351]

@@nhmountains5683 yea i don't get how him and luka are mediocre at the FT line

[@p382742937423y4]

I agree. This is exactly it

[@nhmountains5683]

I didn’t realize how poor of a free throw shooter Luka was until this series

[@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.

[@ID_No_113xxxxx]

Is it just me or does Cornbread sound like Johnny Most when he's excited 😂 Congratulations Celtics 💚

[@Binnieishere]

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

[@davidverlaney7764]

Time goes fast, even though it goes the same speed. Cavs fan here and was so excited that we won one and now that's almost a decade to go.

[@BEARDMAN50]

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

[@rmsmith2396]

Luka; "I didn't do enough" as a Boston fan I can say how much can you expect from one man. Before this series I didn't know how good he is.

[@AJXO-30]

The thing thag makes this boston team so great is the fact that they have role players with a specific rile that they're good at but the stabdard for each player is scoring. They all can score, thats their baseline, and then work up into different roles. That's why defensive players on a given night can be the star by scoring and elite defense. They all can shoot the 3

[@PennyFitzgeraldFan]

Nah the worst finals was in 2016 when the league and refs handed Lebron and the Cavs the title that year hope that finals still haunts the league too this day.
