Discuss.

[stevebay]

Main headline is Kyrie back in Boston...should be entertaining.

[hermanotarjeta]

Bold.

Don’t jinx Dallas.

Watch Minnesota come back and win the series because of this thread.

Kyrie is mentally soft.

Can't wait for the Boston crowd to have him crying back to mommy BronBron.

There comes a point when a prima donna realizes he won’t play basketball forever. I think Kyrie finally understands that his days in the NBA are numbered.

I think the Mavs are going to win. I like it for the players. I hate that Cuban will take credit.

Holiday and White will be what gets to him, with some of the fan stuff sprinkled on top.

As if a bunch of fat white chumps in the crowd are scary.

We've seen the Celtics crowds.

Man I will laugh so hard if you guys lose the un-loseable title.

Played nobodies to get there, face a 5th seed from the West.....

Should be fun.

Celtics in 5.

Dallas

Easy answer

Boston is the most overrated group of players on the planet and have been for years. Win something for once. No one cares about the regular season. Stop choking. The Niners of the NBA

Luka to the moon

Kyrie hates Boston so much

I’m all about the Mavericks championship

Hahaha!

So we agree?

Celtics baby!!

[Scottish Punk]

I think it will come down to Tatum and Kyrie. Which one plays better. I think Brown is the Celtics best big game player and will get his. Luka will get his no matter what since he will put up enough shots to do it. Role players will do well in spurts particularly at home.

Kyrie is the x-factor for the Mavs. If he is playing well, Luka can jog down the court and stand at the 3-point line and conserve energy. As far as Tatum, we all know he has a tendency to shrink and disappear in the big games. Goes without saying, that ne needs to be consistently good for the Celtics to win. Tatum can't be the KAT of this round and just shoot bricks and be a dud on offense.

If Jrue can slow down Kyrie and make his life difficult and inefficient, than the Celtics are going to win.

It will be interesting if the Blazers being forced to trade Dame leads to the Celtics finally winning a title.

Why finally? Its like Tatum should have won already many titles at 26? Before this season have they ever been the favorites to win the title and fail every year? Really crazy how high the expectations are for Celtics and why? Because Bill Russel won many titles 60 years ago they should be winning every year or everyone in this team is bust?

Have you forgotten the turds they laid vs Miami and GS?



Plenty of greats have won titles before that age. And yes, they were favored to beat GS and Miami.

Are Boston fans the biggest fair weather supporters in the league?

"The Golden State Warriors have opened the NBA Finals as a minus-155 favorite over the Boston Celtics" - from 2022 before the first game.

Curry won his first title at 26, MJ at 28, Lebron 28, Durant 29, Shaq 28 etc. There were also many haters and doubters in these guys until they started to collect rings year after year and eventually the haters became fans

I mean...when we've won as many titles as we have...it's hard to get super amped up for every single one...

[cms11]

I want the Mavs to win, but this title is the Celtics to lose with the talent they have and HCA.

[Braswell10]

I hope Dallas wins just so we don’t have to hear some corny Kobe quote from Tatum.
