Boston...the beginning of multiple banners for the Brown/Tatum/White/Holiday/KP core.

[QUOTE=rms13;19474935]I don't know what to say anymore. 12-2 in the playoffs. They are a team built for the playoffs. They spent the entire season setting up for this. They started resting guys two months ago ago to stay healthy. Tatum and Brown have 7 years of post season experience together including going to the finals, beating Giannis, KD and Embiid in the post season. Took prime LeBron to 7 games in Tatum's rookie year. They have veterans like Jrue who won a title and Horford with 17 years of play off experience. I think they know how to handle post season basketball[/QUOTE]

You're only proving my point about the East being soft as Charmin. Do you really think if they had the competition thats in the West they would have been resting people for 2 months?? Not a chance. And again 12-2 in the playoffs in the East isn't saying a lot.

The Pacers also did Boston a huge favor and took out the uber-physical Knicks.

I can’t even consider Boston losing a title to Kyrie. That would be the worst

This feels organic.

And I am here for it.

I started this thread in May 2017 citing the finals match-up before the regular season was even over and called it correctly:

Does anyone picking Celtics here own any Luka rookies?

Does anyone picking the Mavs not own any Luka cards?

I have Tatum rookies and no Luka rookies because Luka is not him.

[QUOTE=rms13;19475197]Does anyone picking the Mavs not own any Luka cards?[/QUOTE]

So those picking the Celtics have Tatum cards?

You are spot on.

Or Celtics fans...:doh:

And which Celtics fan here doesn't own any Tatum cards?

[QUOTE=hermanotarjeta;19475283]And which Celtics fan here doesn't own any Tatum cards?[/QUOTE]

I'd be willing to venture there are more people here who have Luka cards and aren't Mavs fans than have Tatum cards and aren't Celtics fans.

[QUOTE=rms13;19475197]Does anyone picking the Mavs not own any Luka cards?[/QUOTE]

I was born at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. That’s why I’m picking them.

I did pull a Luka Prizm RWB RC, but that’s a PC item.

Getcha popcorn ready! 6/6/24 bay-bay.

Me, I don’t bother with the moderns

The funny thing is at the beginning of the playoffs most people didn't seem to expect the Mavs to make it past the first round and now all of a sudden they're unbeatable

They are absolutely not unbeatable...but they also aren't some push over like some of your fans think

Mavs will be America's Team because everyone hates Boston.

Jayson Tatum literally doesn't know how to handle post season basketballs...

Would you consider if the Celtics won and Tatum was finals mvp?

Porzingis back would ensure Boston feasts.
