Ebony & Ivory with Burning Sage vs. Lucky Charms & Unicorns Colliding on Flat Earth | Official Mavericks (#5) vs. Celtics (#1) 2024 NBA Finals Thread

[Primetime]

To be fair to Boston and it’s probably been mentioned on here already but their core have faced nothing but adversity and competition together, the past 4 playoff runs.

Squared off vs Butler, Embiid, Harden, Curry, Giannis, KD, Kyrie, etc. Won some, lost some, down 3-2, down 3-0, down bad, up big, rallied, choked, celebrated, slandered.

Win or lose I don’t see an “easy” playoff run thru the East being a factor in their preparedness. They know what it is.

SAS has arrived look like he's ready to drop 30 and 10 tonight

I could definitely see Celtics putting Derrick White on Luka to bait Luka into going 1 on 5 and not be a passer to his teammates

Jalen Brown +100 to score 20pts, 25$ max. Go get you that quick 25$.

Kyrie is the only player on the mavericks who has played in a NBA finals and won a championship ring.

Homecourt/arena environment :Tie. Both Boston and Dallas got raucous fanbases and intimidating arenas for opposing teams.
