And Kobe played pretty bad in 2004
What’s your point ?

They shouldn't be mentioned with Jordan. That's my point

Boston just has Kyrie’s number. If this was any other team. He’d be cooking.

We know who number Boston don’t have

 

[UpAndComing]

Michael Wilbon just said on the postgame show that "He's very surprised how well the Celtics are playing"


Get him off my TV screen

 

[bigde09]

If Kyrie don’t get it together in the next game or 2
We gonna have to revisit them so called Cavs SUPER TEAMS and reclassify them simply as teams

What does 2024 Kyrie have to do with 2016 Kyrie?

The Wolves being stupid made people forget this.

Has nothing to do with being stupid, has everything to do with them just not being good enough. Luka Ball with Kyrie as your #2 is more than good enough to whoop lesser teams like the Wolves, ESPECIALLY when they're anchored by not 1 but 2 slowfooted big men easily exploited in the PnR. The Celtics were just far and away the deepest, most well put together team in the league this year on both ends and are showing it now.

There's levels to this shyt and the Wolves in the grand scheme of things are not and have never been on the level of real contenders at any point in their history. People letting an all-time game 7 choke from Denver cloud their judgement about the West. Wolves run to the conference finals this season was a fluky as Atlanta's a couple years ago. If Ja/Zion are healthy/active, when OKC finally cashes in their picks and commits to competing for real, when Wemby finally gets a team around him, etc... they will not be returning.

Holiday and White are just doing what old ass Mike Connelly couldn't do, which was just stay in front of him and make him shoot over you.

Tatum will have to find his shot in Dallas because Kyrie and the "others" will play well at home. This series isn't over. Plus we don't know what's going on with KP>

 

[Guile]

celtics got 5-6 guys and the mavs got maybe 4

what ya'll want?

Keeping him and Luka from the rim. Forcing them into tough jumpers. And because Dallas’ offence is completely geared around Luka pnr and Kyrie being able to iso, when they aren’t getting what they want there it shuts down Dallas’ O. Credit to Boston’s defence.

My Mavs in 6 bet still on the table

 

[Copy Ninja]

When Wilbon is your best analyst then your show is in trouble. Bob Myers is a waste.

 

[Jazzy B.]

it doesn't matter, I give Dallas one game at home

Of course it matters.

Kyrie is averaging 14 points on 35% shooting and hasn't hit a single 3.

Do you think this will happen/continue in Dallas?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Also, when KP wasn't in there Gafford was feasting and the lob game was opening up. People aren't giving KP enough credit.

 

[jerniebert]

Looks like the Mavs finally lost two games in a row in the playoffs. I kept hearing that during the pregame.

Boston actually finishing games. Lets see the adjustments Dallas makes for Wednesday. One thing I'm noticing is Boston is playing the way they want. Minnesota has a terrible offense and OKC young players got scared and wouldn't let their 3's go. Boston players aren't scared so the way OKC got ran off the 3 point line isn't going to work this series. Boston's players are better at finishing their possessions that don't end in a 3.

Adjustments?! This shyt cooked When is training camp at this point, finals is background noise at this point..
