We’re not gonna talk about how Fluka’s chest is compromised either?? Boston will TEAR Dallas apart if Fluka is on limited minutes

Celtics are built like the warriors or spurs. Their best players 1-6 can score and defend. They are not liabilities on the floor. Dallas is built like suns with nash, harden and the rockets, chris paul with new orleans. One great man with the ball. Predictable and they are bad at defense. They need to keep scoring at a high clip to win. That said it is 2 wins by boston on theid floor. It’s good but far from a done deal. If dallas lose one in their 2 home games, that is it. But if they defend their home it just evens it up. Series starts when the home team loses

Styles make fights and in basketball, it’s about matchups. Dallas doesn’t matchup very well with Boston as they don’t have balanced scoring, which Boston has. Moreover, Boston is able to bottle up Kyrie. If Kyrie can’t get 25-30 per game, they won’t be as effective as they need to be to win the series.

C’mon LA Clippers & Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t play good defense but the Celtics are putting pressure on the whole team! Kyrie is trying to play good but the Celtics are great on defense

The Mavs maybe should play Hardaway

Boston didn’t win. The Mavs lost that game. The mavs scored better from the field. Missed free throws and turnovers lost the game for the Mavs!!!!

There has been numerous times where lively gets a pass near the basket and he’ll hesitate and miss

Luke is the reason why the mavs suck. He plays zero defense. The media is covering for him for obvious reasons. Hes trash

Kyrie playing just how Boston remembers him in the playoffs for us.

Look kyrie is a flop don’t expect him to show up in this series because he is no good and over-rated clown!!!!!!!!

Legler is still the best in the business, but him picking Dallas was simply ridiculous. Same goes for anybody else who did. This was the most obvious finals picks that I can remember. Its was never a situation where the best player can win it for you, teams have to be relatively close for that. Outside of Luka, Boston is exponentially better overall and always was going into it. Don’t know what people were thinking.
