This is a 2022 narrative
Celtics won games all through the season and playoffs last year when their 3 wasn’t falling, they are no longer a one dimensional team
Of course anything can happen if a scrub team gets hot from 3 (Like the one fluke win Miami had in the playoffs this year) but all things considered, the Celtics are well equipped to win in a variety of ways
Man kill this dumb ass narrative. Luka and Kyrie are supposed to be killers with all the heart in the world and got packed up by these "weak" nikkas in 5. They relied on 3s last year, finished first in attempts and second in fg%.
The Mavs lost because they actually had to fight to get to the finals.
I feel like u nikkaz know nothing about sports
No they are not..they are the same team from 2022.
They got a tall cracca who shoots a bunch of threes.
That got a PG from Milwaukee, who got his lunch taken by jimmy, who shoots a bunch of 3s.
This is the same team. Just was fortunate they didn't face any real competition in the east
Ace Bailey or Cooper Flagg to DC confirmed
exactly. And when you force Luka to play defense, it's damn near an automatic bucket whomever he's guardingThe Mavs lost because they don't play defense and rely on their two isolation stars to carry them with no real offensive scheme.

No...
If u make it to the fckin finals then that means ur offense and defense is fine.
They beat other teams that people thought they would lose to.
And I'm sure most people thought the champ would come from the west.
But when u have to play against a team that walked to the finals, ur going to look bad and lose.
The reason why rings and trophies are important is because of the hard road to get 1.
Not just having it.
Luka is a traffic cone against Boston lmaoexactly. And when you force Luka to play defense, it's damn near an automatic bucket whomever he's guarding
The Celtics played the Mavs in the Finals the same way they played them in the regular season
Playoffs are all about matchups and the Celtics had the personnel to take away what worked for the Mavs offensively and to relentlessly exploit their weaknesses defensively. Their opponents in the West didn’t have that capacity. That’s all there is to it.
Yall so blinded by hate that you can’t see the reality in front your face
