He may not be Celtics best all around player. Thats still Tatum. But Brown has been betting better and more consistent every year of his carrier. To the point where he is the Celtics most consistent player now. Maybe together with Derrick White :)
Lmfao the fact that you believe that his certifications make him better than anyone at anything besides basketball. He is not a particularly intelligent person. You could say accomplished academically, and that would be closer to the truth, which is that he and any african american you see that way are a product of where they live, parents, and wealth. Next time you hear someone went to Berkley, MIT, or ESPECIALLY Harvard, realize that they are not more “brilliant” than anyone you yourself know.
Yea mainly playing man to man for Boston Is going to keep the mavs in trouble, I don’t think will play that bad again but I don’t think he will have a great series either.
But the C's cant keep doing that coz Luka will adjust and will start punishing them until they are forced to double Luka, I am a Celtics fan for all my life but this Mav's team is scary, for some reason Luka and Kyrie thrive when their backs are against the wall on the other hand JT and JB not so much, i have watched both crumble when it gets tough and i just hope this time they are tougher and have matured mentally.
@@BratatoChipeverything but scoring lol and he can get u 15-20 on any given night . Kyrie is an amazing scoring talent but tht can be neutralized as u can see
The mavs biggest problems is Luka and Kyrie are forced to play defense affecting their offense last series the timberwolves had come off a seven game series and had old mike Conley and young ant it was a breeze for the mavs. Luka and Kyrie won’t be resting in a zone this series the Celtics can shoot.
Celtics getting rid of one dimensional williams and smart and replacing them with porzingus and holiday unlocked everything. Celtics now are versatile, long, athletic, and talented at every position now. If celts don't turn the ball over or go ice cold from 3 they can't lose.
The difference in this series is that Lively and Gafford will be liabilities rather than strengths and Kyrie will not go off like he did in the west… because the Celtics KNOW him. The Celtics wings are bigger than you think and you can’t help off of White, Jrue or Horford. It’s a nightmare matchup.
@@PeteringYTBoston has more weapons defensively. SGA and Dort their two best defensive players but Boston aside from Pritchard can go toe-to-toe with anyone
@@Bkknicksagreed and it’s funny how much crow Nick is eating now that LeBron called Mazulla a “genius” on his pod after Nick had cut Mazulla down for the last two years.
“Celtics have had an easy run. They’ve only beat injured teams.” Pacers were much harder than Mavericks. Mavs or OKC were the two teams Celtics would’ve wanted before the playoffs. Lakers, Nuggets, Wolves and Clippers would’ve been harder matchups.
Calling a timeout when the other team is clearly going on a run is not that special, anyone watching the game from their couch can feel when a team needs to call a timeout to stop a run.
You’re absolutely right!. But… that was a big criticism of the Celtics coach. He would never call timeouts . So that’s been a big adjustment for anyone familiar with the Celtics.
@@Jonteponte71yea Wemby dribbling is better but KP shooting is what separates him! You cannot leave him open at all, he shot 63% from post up mid range. First in the league! 😂 he just abuses smaller players and doesn’t really post up big men. If they’re putting a big man on him he usually just blows right by him. KP is very fast for his size, you saw how he chased Green for that block. 😂 KP is the man in Boston!
Kyrie's problem, Boston played good defense on him, they let Luka have 30, they knew that wouldn't beat them, but controlling Kyrie was pivital for Boston and they did it.
Something people forget about JB is he broke his hand right before the playoffs last year and couldn't shoot at all in the playoffs because of it. This man us healthy this year and he's on a mission
Mazzula was judged way to harashly as a coach last year with the circumstances he was under. First time Head coach, youngest in the league, brought in right before the season, had championship expectations, didnt have a solid game plan nor his own coaching staff. Bro had every disadvantage. This is what Mazzula is really capable of as a coach.
Betting on the Celtics to win this series I got nervous leading up to the game but the one thing that gave me confidence and it even showed last night…..this team is built for Tatum to play bad and still win !!! Tatum played bad and they were up by 29 !!! Celtics in 5 !!!
😂😂 Colin doesn't know ship!!! He said Shaq and Jordan couldn't play in this era. He hedges his bets by saying, "new data" comes in, I change my mind. 😂😂😂 Most NBA fans know Shaq would average an easy 30 in the small ball era.
Jaylen brown is the finals mvp the best player in this series. He can’t be guarded but he can guard 1-4. 12-26 to get 30pts is horrible😂😂😂 all them strips I thought buddy was a pole dancer. Luka can’t guard a park car
@@MrCorner21 if you’re a great player, you score despite great defense. Basketball rules favor the offensive player. Kyrie couldn’t overcome the defense despite that fact, which is his fault/his failing.
Notice Colin said the NBA loves the Knicks. He forgot to mention the Lakers too. Which is why the media is also talking about those teams and want to see them win
Every star in the league needs support. What team has won without a good to great supporting cast. It’s funny cuz if Boston wins the narrative is gonna be that the jays needed a lot of help. Idc because so has every other star to finally win their championships
if you have 4 guys that play really good defense, you never get them into rotation. When those 4 can also get to the paint like the celts, it forces the other team into rotation and the D is forced to play 5 on 4. Open high quality shots are the goal. Celts are playing a different style of hoop and the media is having a tough time explaining it in their “he’s the best and he’s the second best” POV.
A lot of people don’t know basketball. Jayson Tatum deserves the MVP. Jalen Brown gets his looks because of JT. The way JT is guarded does not compare to how JB is guarded
Boston is a complete team. That main guy from Dallas had to defend like he never did before in these playoffs. The easy ride he had on the defensive throughout these playoffs is over. Welcome mister!
This would be the first time since the 04 pistons in my mind where a team wins a chip without a top 5 player in the league at the time, but it's interesting how much of a team Boston is and how that might win them a finals
If you don't think Tatum or Brown is a top five player you haven't seen them ball...as a celtics fan sitting up 2- 0 ...I'm saying Jaylen Brown is playing like he's a top 5 player .....and I don't hear anyone arguing..
When Colin is talking about what the league wants to see and what they prefer or not, I listen to him then. That's why the NBA has been keeping the Celtics from winning. It's why people always trying to split up Tatum and Brown. I thought the goal was to put the best roster together so you can be the last team standing. And they followed the rules set by the NBA. So why is the NBA so upset with the Celtics??
This isn't going to be a great series for talk shows especially if you set it all up to be a big referendum on Jason Tatum. Celtics are just loaded 🤷♂
In regards to Hurley… the Lakers right now are run by “mommas boys” on the player’s side… in the short term it’s going to be a nightmare situation for Hurley. But once Lebron is gone, he can then build properly. But until he’s gone, that dynamic is going to be trouble. When has Lebron welcomed authoratative men into the locker room? Hurley has to tread lightly in the beginning… which is a shame.
Well the Celtics have a mix of everything length, size, shooting, defense, rebounding, play making, depth, spacing. The Timberwolves had bad spacing and not many shooters and Denver had no rim protection and bad scoring from the role players. The Celtics do those things great.
Funny how most media members like Colin are coming out now saying KD going to the Warriors was bad for the league. I remember when this move happened him and others would spend segments trying to tell listeners that it was good for the league and we should enjoy watching teams play against them that had no chance. I guess them trying to advertise the product. Most fans were pissed when that happened not because the Warriors were winning but it made the league boring for the 4 years.
This is the precise reason why I always say Kyrie is overrated. Kyrie is an incredibly skilled offensive player, but that's really all he is. He's the guard version of Carmelo Anthony - he's not a great defender, he's not an above average rebounder, he's not a great playmaker. When he's on fire offensively then he's a huge impact guy, but when he is struggling offensively he becomes a liability on the court because he really can't do anything else to positively impact the game. This is not the first time we've seen this of Kyrie. This game was pretty much a 1:1 reproduction of the Celtics vs Brooklyn nets in the 1st round a couple of years ago. The Celtics smothered Durant, made every single shot he took difficult and also forced him to play defence on the other end...and KD was so overwhemled that by the end of the series he just fell apart because it was too much for one man to handle. Kyrie was supposed to be the big time wingman who was meant to take that pressure off KD, but when push came to shove he choked against the Celtics defensive pressure and the end result was a Celtics series sweep. This game was pretty much exactly like that series. The Celtics focussed on make life as hard as it possibly could be for Luka by making him work for every shot, and then also forcing him to work on the defensive end - and by the end of the game he looked gassed. Kyrie was supposed to take pressure off him, but again he fell apart against the Celtics defence and became a complete non-factor. This Dallas team is 100% dependant on the idea that Luka and Kyrie are going to combine for an efficient 55-60 points every night. They NEED that to win, because they just don't have enough depth. Kyrie is Kyrie, and it's inevitable that there are going to be two or so games in this series were he's going to off and score 25-30 points, because no matter how good the offense is he's just that talented that those nights are going to happen. And those couple of games will be hard fought. But the other 4-5 games in the series he's going to struggle immensely against the Celtics defence, and in those games Luka will struggle under the pressure and the Mavs are going to get spanked.
No, size only matters with talented tall dudes. Small ball was Curry, yes, plus a team that had huge chemistry with Curry and talent to support Curry. The Warriors won a lot because they were more talented than the size and length on the other size. They were better. Period. Small ball is real if you have talented people to play it.
The Cs are solid on defense and offense 1-5...if you double, help or get caught in no mans land they will find the right guy. They are the real deal, sad thing is even if Boston wins the series, people will spin the narrative and it will be more about Dallas underperforming somehow.... Cs in 6
Luka, like Jokic, played Celtics pace….which was a running match/foot race. Luka when he can slow down the dribble drives and dish it’s when things start. Only in the third did we get a taste of it. Celts looked tired during that stretch.
That was a stretch where they were allowing the Mavs to be Uber physical and get away with the same nonsense that they got away with against the T-Wolves. Once things calmed down and they started calling fouls again, Jaylen Brown did what he did and it was over.
The difference is this team doesn’t have superstars like Steph and KD but every player in the top six is a good defender and three-point shooter and this Celtics team technically has more weapons than the Warriors since White and Holiday can also go for 20+.
The same Jaylen Brown that y'all swore up and down all last season had no left! Y'all bandwagon fans and media personalities alike are bogus as hell! Keep that same energy y'all had after he had a rough series bashing him and saying he wasn't good enough to be a 2. Comical. Now he's the finals MVP? 😂
Luka and Kyrie don't have stamina to play both ends if the floor for more than a few minutes at a time. They can get away with that in the west conference not against the Celtics.
I think Denver was the only team that could stop Boston … mainly cause jokic would just wreck Porzingis. Don’t think anybody else matches up well with them
Just heard the Celtics coach answer a race-bating set up question from a reporter: "How many of those coaches were Christian coaches?" This is a perfect set up for Collin on Monday. I am traveling overseas and so I'll miss it. But this is so perfect for Cowherd to say something extraordinarily stupid that he truly thinks is profound from his imagined common sense perch he thinks he sits atop when religion or politics is concerned. It should be classic. Better than the projection he did on Trump selling him a country he does not recognized, does not see. Sorry I'll miss it. So if Cowherd is so stupid on these subjects, why do I watch him? I love him on sports and sometimes on family sutff. He's just flat out gifted. He's almost always interesting even when he turns out to be wrong. A real talent. But religion and politics? That's entertaining too because the blindness and ignorance and stupidity is mixed with patronizing condescension. That's sad but also entertaining because its so consistent.
Colin tried to make his NFL takes match the NBA. Coaches are coaches not defensive or offensive.. there’s no coordinating and every player does both…. These nerds needa quit
If KP plays decent (like tonight), Boston wins in four. If KP gets hurt, Boston wins in seven. I'm not a Boston fan. It's just easy to see the issues with the Dallas D. Luka and Kyrie have to score 30+ to beat the Celtics. The Denver Nuggets would have beat this Celtic team.
Once Denver got out of the picture, the path was clear for Boston to win. Dallas doesn't match well with Boston . Gafford and lively won't be effective in this series bcz the Celtics bigs play well on the perimeter.
Denver wasn’t good enough to get to the finals therefore it’s a moot point! Boston got better and better and may have beaten Denver or Minnesota but we’ll never know now!
One minute in and Colin already misses the mark. For one, the small ball revolution is not nonsense. It makes a lot of basketball sense and is alive and well. And two, Draymond and the Warriors are not responsible for the small ball revolution in the modern NBA. That would be Erik Spoelstra and the Heatles
Dallas is only as good as Kyrie. Little Luka is only going to pad his stats, he is incapable of leading his team. The NBA wants to elevate little Luka so bad, bit he really isn't shit.
@Anthony-uf3oz Sorry, I must have been typing to fast, I will type slower. Dallas is only as good as Kyrie. Little Luka cannot carry the team, he is only after stats. So if Boston shuts Kyrie down, they win.
Jaylen Brown might be my favorite player in the league. Love his style of play. Also cool that he’s like certifiably brilliant.
Same i was so sad when he got his deal last year cuz it killee my delusional of him ever being a Laker 😭
He may not be Celtics best all around player. Thats still Tatum. But Brown has been betting better and more consistent every year of his carrier. To the point where he is the Celtics most consistent player now. Maybe together with Derrick White :)

Biggest issue for the Mavs is the fact Boston doesn’t double team, which takes away their lob game. Hence 9 total assists
You nailed it righg there they let Luka do his thing and depended the other players including Kytie
Yea mainly playing man to man for Boston Is going to keep the mavs in trouble, I don’t think will play that bad again but I don’t think he will have a great series either.

It's as simple as: If Kyrie is the 5th/6th best player in this series than the Celtics will win in 4 or 5. He and Lively need to play better.

This is the precise reason why I always say Kyrie is overrated.
Kyrie is an incredibly skilled offensive player, but that's really all he is.

This game was pretty much exactly like that series. The Celtics focussed on make life as hard as it possibly could be for Luka by making him work for every shot, and then also forcing him to work on the defensive end - and by the end of the game he looked gassed. Kyrie was supposed to take pressure off him, but again he fell apart against the Celtics defence and became a complete non-factor.
This Dallas team is 100% dependant on the idea that Luka and Kyrie are going to combine for an efficient 55-60 points every night. They NEED that to win, because they just don't have enough depth. Kyrie is Kyrie, and it's inevitable that there are going to be two or so games in this series were he's going to off and score 25-30 points, because no matter how good the offense is he's just that talented that those nights are going to happen. And those couple of games will be hard fought. But the other 4-5 games in the series he's going to struggle immensely against the Celtics defence, and in those games Luka will struggle under the pressure and the Mavs are going to get spanked.
No, size only matters with talented tall dudes. Small ball was Curry, yes, plus a team that had huge chemistry with Curry and talent to support Curry. The Warriors won a lot because they were more talented than the size and length on the other size. They were better. Period. Small ball is real if you have talented people to play it.
The Cs are solid on defense and offense 1-5...if you double, help or get caught in no mans land they will find the right guy. They are the real deal, sad thing is even if Boston wins the series, people will spin the narrative and it will be more about Dallas underperforming somehow.... Cs in 6
Jason knows ball 10x more than clownherd
Colin is an overrated so called expert
@@spenser6353 And he doesn't give a fuuuuuccckkk. Laughing all the way to the bank
sweep
Boston plays small ball though plus Porzingis is a bonus.
Colin Casual Cowherd.
Luka, like Jokic, played Celtics pace….which was a running match/foot race. Luka when he can slow down the dribble drives and dish it’s when things start.
Only in the third did we get a taste of it. Celts looked tired during that stretch.
Way over analyzing
Start praying buddy 😂
Imagine the Celtics getting tired by watching luka play isoball on one leg lmao
That was a stretch where they were allowing the Mavs to be Uber physical and get away with the same nonsense that they got away with against the T-Wolves. Once things calmed down and they started calling fouls again, Jaylen Brown did what he did and it was over.
The Celtics weren’t tired loooool
This years Celtics are built like a poor man’s KD warriors
Facts
Kristaps is KD, Tatum and Brown are Steph and Clay and Al Horford is kind of like the Draymond
It was never a KD Warriors team
The difference is this team doesn’t have superstars like Steph and KD but every player in the top six is a good defender and three-point shooter and this Celtics team technically has more weapons than the Warriors since White and Holiday can also go for 20+.
@@nocturne311 true. Wiggins was like their Jrue Holiday
After Q1. Score was 70 - 69 Celtics
The same Jaylen Brown that y'all swore up and down all last season had no left! Y'all bandwagon fans and media personalities alike are bogus as hell! Keep that same energy y'all had after he had a rough series bashing him and saying he wasn't good enough to be a 2. Comical. Now he's the finals MVP? 😂
Luka and Kyrie don't have stamina to play both ends if the floor for more than a few minutes at a time. They can get away with that in the west conference not against the Celtics.
Jason knows everything basketball but for him to crush it he has to mesh with Colin. Show your personality.
Jason is great, idk what ur talking about
Sir,
There is NO DOUBT Mav is DONE; we only have 3 more basketball in 2034.
I think Denver was the only team that could stop Boston … mainly cause jokic would just wreck Porzingis. Don’t think anybody else matches up well with them
agree. they beat boston both times in the regular season
@@wuwuisaac barelt
They wouldn’t have either. They looked crap all postseason, and as you saw from last night, it takes more than one star to beat the Celtics
They’d be a better match up for Boston
not the way they were playing with mpj and jamal. no depth.
The amount of times Colin talks about players bodies is kinda sus.
Colin bashing Boston and now he's rooting for them. Before the finals most of his predictions are wrong. Such a turncoat journalist!!
Just heard the Celtics coach answer a race-bating set up question from a reporter: "How many of those coaches were Christian coaches?" This is a perfect set up for Collin on Monday. I am traveling overseas and so I'll miss it. But this is so perfect for Cowherd to say something extraordinarily stupid that he truly thinks is profound from his imagined common sense perch he thinks he sits atop when religion or politics is concerned. It should be classic. Better than the projection he did on Trump selling him a country he does not recognized, does not see. Sorry I'll miss it. So if Cowherd is so stupid on these subjects, why do I watch him? I love him on sports and sometimes on family sutff. He's just flat out gifted. He's almost always interesting even when he turns out to be wrong. A real talent. But religion and politics? That's entertaining too because the blindness and ignorance and stupidity is mixed with patronizing condescension. That's sad but also entertaining because its so consistent.
Kyrie and Luka need to average 30 a piece a game to have a chance. Kyrie only had 12 points last night.
Colin tried to make his NFL takes match the NBA. Coaches are coaches not defensive or offensive.. there’s no coordinating and every player does both…. These nerds needa quit
If KP plays decent (like tonight), Boston wins in four. If KP gets hurt, Boston wins in seven.
I'm not a Boston fan. It's just easy to see the issues with the Dallas D. Luka and Kyrie have to score 30+ to beat the Celtics.
The Denver Nuggets would have beat this Celtic team.
Once Denver got out of the picture, the path was clear for Boston to win.
Dallas doesn't match well with Boston .
Gafford and lively won't be effective in this series bcz the Celtics bigs play well on the perimeter.
Y’all overrating the Nuggets, they were not as good this year and had no depth, plus Murray was trash for most of the playoffs
How would Denver beat the Celtics team that is top 3 in offense and defense with jokic and an inconsistent Jamal Murray. They cant guard Boston. 😂😂😂
Denver wasn’t good enough to get to the finals therefore it’s a moot point! Boston got better and better and may have beaten Denver or Minnesota but we’ll never know now!
Denver couldn’t beat the Wolves who got waxed by Dallas.
Nice cope.
Wat h them Hamilton the Mavs when they win Game 2
LA will always be a Lakers town. Nobody GAF about the other teams and sports.
One minute in and Colin already misses the mark. For one, the small ball revolution is not nonsense. It makes a lot of basketball sense and is alive and well. And two, Draymond and the Warriors are not responsible for the small ball revolution in the modern NBA. That would be Erik Spoelstra and the Heatles
Heatles couldn’t shoot like the warriors
Dallas is only as good as Kyrie. Little Luka is only going to pad his stats, he is incapable of leading his team. The NBA wants to elevate little Luka so bad, bit he really isn't shit.
What ?!?
@Anthony-uf3oz Sorry, I must have been typing to fast, I will type slower. Dallas is only as good as Kyrie. Little Luka cannot carry the team, he is only after stats. So if Boston shuts Kyrie down, they win.
Mavs had an overall bad game and still cut a 29 point lead to 8. Mavs in 6.
Denial isn't a river in Egypt
