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

congratulations to Boston, and especially Jaylen Brown, gets looked at as the Robin to Tatum too much. Eastern Conference MVP and Finals MVP was deserved for JB

if Boston keeps most of their players they might repeat

speaking of keeping your main guys together, the Knicks should do the same, we just had terrible luck with injuries

I think the big 3 in the east are Boston, Milwaukee, and New York

but once again congrats for the Celtics

and on a sidenote the Mavs ain't getting to the Finals next year, no hate

Pacers are the biggest threat in the East.

They don't depend on one player, have a great system on offense, they have the players to run it and have a decent bench. Young team who don't know how to close out good teams, much like the C's when they were on the come up. They just need experience.

Any team that solely depends on one or two players are always gonna be easier to defend, that's why Boston always beat the Sixers and would do the same with the Knicks. Brunson is a shorter version of Luka and would also be food on defense, can't teach height.

Who told you that? The Internet? Didn’t KG say it first in 2008 or am I making things up? Fast forward to 2:07 and come back here lil boy.

Dude relax, this shyt is just jokes

Pacers aren't a threat, they matched up with an injured Bucks team. This is the problem with the Eastern conference is that because of how bad it is it makes inferior teams look like threats. They'll be this year's version of the 2021 Hawks. Not even mentioning the Knicks were banged up as well. They wouldn't beat a healthy Bucks, Sixers, or Knicks team.

I'll give you the Bucks, but the Sixers team that couldn't beat the Knicks?

The C's just demolished the West representative easier than the Heat with all their injuries

It's a testament to how poorly coached the West teams are when they couldn't take advantage of a sieve on defense like Luka.

Joel was banged up, he was rushed back from surgery

I also forgot to mention the Heat, with no playoff Jimmy. And the Celtics beat both of them in gentleman sweeps so I wouldn't say it was "easier".

Tatum still hogging the trophy

Talk yo shyt Tatum!!!

Why People Keep bringing Joel Embiid as if we don’t Treat the Sixers like The Globetrotters treat the Washington Generals. It’s comical at this point.

My point was being made about the Pacers. I know the Celtics have dominated the Sixers but that wasn't my point.

 

[UpAndComing]

Pacers were a tougher match up for the Celtics than the Mavericks and it's not even close

"Easier road to the Finals" narrative exposed

 

[cartierhoe]

Me saying the Pacers aren't a serious threat in the future in the eastern conference has somehow been misconstrued into me talking down on the Celtics when I never mentioned them Jesus Christ

 

[VBM]

Talk yo shyt Tatum!!!

Dude sharked Corey Seager's World Series speech, which was sharked from Alex Bregman's division title speech which was sharked from Kanye's Grammy's speech

Joel finished out here, the window is closed, too many injuries, the sparks gone, he gonna be chasing rings soon enough, 2-3 years

 

[ZEupTWN]

M. Smart def deserves an honorable ring....

I might have seen fans rocking his jersey more than any of the other current players...

I agree with you overall, we'll see what moves they make but again, and this has been my original point. The Pacers wouldn't beat a healthy Sixers team.

He’ll be 31 during next season with cooked knees. Part time player at this point. Load manage like they did with Porzingis and Hope injuries don’t add up.
