Thanks for watching this was Game 2 of the NBA Finals Made One Thing Very Clear - Спорт
Could Dallas make a comeback and still win this series? Let me know in the comments below!
nope. especially if KP plays. Ky's not going to win in boston. boston will eventually start to make their 3s. Ky may make more shots but so will tatum eventually and thats going to cancel each other out. once pritchard and hauser start making shots again, the celtics margin for error just gets bigger.
TEAM>individual
or to turn it into an analogy: the avengers>superman
Dallas isn't winning 4 of 5 against Boston. Celtics have won 9 straight playoff games, 8 straight road playoff games (going back to last year), 6 straight games against Dallas, and 12 straight games against Kyrie. It's comical that they are going into Game 3 as an underdog. Law of averages, I guess.
@@TheRobversion1the fact Boston missed almost all of their 3's and still won 😂
@@thewhitecoyote1 agreed. betting underdogs is weird from a basketball sense but makes sense from a money sense. vegas noticed that everyone's betting mavs, even with celtics winning. makes sense to make the celtics underdogs so less people win money/they make more money.
Finals game 1 was the highest game 1 gross for Vegas in recent history.
@@JoshNBANFL yup. water will find its level and they will start to make 3s close to their averages again or even have a heater game (they are due) to balance out the bad shooting.
One of the Mavs main problems is Luka is such a turnstile on defense Boston just attack him constantly and set up ways to exploit his uselessness. He’s such a bad defender he’s almost a wash on the court despite his offensive shine. Fanboys always seem to ignore this but Boston hasn’t ignored it.
It’s so hard to talk basketball with some people because of that last part. I like Luka and all but when are people gonna notice how bad his defense is? Drives me nuts sometimes
He gets the most simple tasks too and he can't stop gambling
Luka has been playing his best defense. The issue is he can’t physically keep up with doing so much on both sides so eventually his defense falls to shit
Boston’s plan is to gas Luka, once your legs are gone your offensive drops off exponentially
yea i was always so confused when minnesota didn’t attack such a blatant weakness.
Jayson tat is so underrated, people just love to hate him
Facts I'm not a Celtics fan but I don't like seeing the hate he gets for no reason. Like would it have been better if he missed the playoffs every season instead of losing in the conference finals?
@@basketballreachit’s also clear that his surrounding cast is playing much better than previous years. If this JB showed up in 22 against the warriors or if Smart played as well as Holiday is playing now, the result of that final would have been completely different. MJ, Kobe, and Lebron couldn’t win without good/ great supporting cast. Why is Tatum held to a different standard?
Underrated? Lmao r u trolling?
@@rogeliomaravilla2451 no he just ain’t a casual following contrived media narratives aimed at generating clicks and views
@@playea123 for realz. The thing I can appreciate being a Bos fan is that both JT and JB are just completely focused in whats best for the team and do whatever it takes to win all the way! And look where they are now! All the media bs is just fuel for them to play together as a team harder!!!
100% over. Dallas is not now, and was never going to beat these C's four times. Jaylen said it earlier this Spring and he meant it.
Facts I swear the mainstream media were all picking Dallas I’ve had Boston in 6 from the start
your description of the game was way more exciting than it really was, the mavericks never felt in contention like you described
At the beginning of each half they were but then the Celtics just woke up 🤣
@@basketballreachi watched the game and felt like the difference in difficulty of shots was going to add up by the end of the game
one thing clear here: boston handed this game to dallas. this was their worst win of the playoffs and one of their worst shooting games for the whole season. they arent going to shoot like this again. water will find it's level and they will start making their 3s. The fact that dallas couldnt win because they beat themselves (8 missed FTs, tons of TOVs) and boston's sterling road record is concerning. i expect boston to steal 1 if not 2 in dallas. if that 1 is G3, this series is over. If pritchard or hauser start scoring double figures again, this series is done. they were missing wide open attempt after wide open attempt.
on KP we will see in G3. we might be in for a G1 surprise again. joe and kidd's adjustments have been a treat to watch from a coaching standpoint.
If the Celtics take even a single game in Dallas this is over
@@basketballreach thats my take too and i expect boston to take a minimum of 1 game. they have been road warriors these playoffs and have shown in the regular season they can win in the mavs homecourt.
@@basketballreachWhy is Tatum BONKING on his “easy layups”. He’s not sinking his ordinarily high shot shots??? AND watch him as he doesn’t move towards the ball as if he’s ready to drive the lane? Hoping he is just putting up a false flag to lull them into complacency???
I honestly think Tatum could go out his way these next 2-3 games to pad his stats and secure the finals MVP if he wanted to. But I entirely expect him to continue to facilitate and make JB, Jrue and the rest of team better even when his shots aren't hitting. And his shooting percentages are going to be much better these next few games.
I agree with you I think back to the 2022 Bucks series where he started slow but ended hot dropping 46 on the road in Milwaukee with the season on the line and the Sixers series last years where he struggled all game long in game 6 until the 4th where he put up 17 in a term then followed that up with 51 in game 7
@@basketballreachscary stuff to see him flub 3 layups in a row.
“Jobs not finished.”
- Kobe Bryant
He didn’t reinjure the same leg. He originally injured his right, if you watch during the game he started stretching out his left.
Completely different injury!
When the shots aren't falling, you go into the paint.. and Holiday did such an amazing job of scoring in the paint, one easy bucket after another because so much attention is paid to Tatum. If the Mavs want to keep doing that, no problem,. Tatum doesn't need to score to be effective, which has been proven repeatedly in these playoffs. He had 7 assists in the 2nd quarter alone in G2, he's gotten so much better at playmaking and making the right play. Celtics are just too talented top to bottom.
The injury was the opposite leg. He’s most likely playing. Just a tweak
Really oh I was listening to the broadcast in game that's huge news
I think he’ll play - I just hope he’s effective.
He's been deemed "day-to-day" but will probably be rested at least one game.
Dallas is now under pressure. Although Luka tends to play better under pressure, the role players tend to play less and less, and to look for Luka, overloading him.
tatum is loved here in boston and is the best player on the team brown is just on a hot streak
He impacts the game a lot more than Jaylen does when he isn’t shooting well the sign of a superstar
Jayson is the REASON Jaylen and Kristaps and Jrue are having their way. Derrick’s turn first or will Tatum have his breakout in the Big D?
We have a team with a BIG ONE AND A HALF playing a team with a BIG SIX.
In the last minutes of the game, White outscored Luka and Kyrie combined, 8-7.
It would be a miracle for Luka to pull this one, because Boston is 43-1 when leading series 2-0. And to make matters worse for Dallas, Boston is 8-0 in NBA FINALS when leading 2-0.
To be fair we haven’t lead an NBA Finals 2-0 in nearly 20 years. If there were any time in the life of the NBA for it to be possible, it’s now. So much offensive talent, still don’t think Dallas pulls it out though.
If Dallas can’t win both of the games at home, I think it’s over.
You think so?
Um duh that would make it 4-0 a clean sweep 😂
@@MoneyMouktv no it wouldnt
4:58 *12 assists
Like Jaylen brown and Tatum played great because they was heavy collapsing the defense on them and they passed the ball well and they made good reads and thy played elite defense they might have scored less and that was because the mavs are making brown and Tatum passes to breat them
But that's exactly what Boston want you to do letting everyone get in rhythm because Tatum and Brown if we are honest aren't as elite as a KD or a Luka where you must force that ball out of their hands
If you look closer, they are making Luka do his thing while shutting the rest.
@@basketballreach kidd disagrees based on how much he's double-teaming tatum. actions speak louder than words.
however, yes they arent as offensively gifted as KD or Luka. I will say though that defense matters as much and the Js are better defenders than those 2. so you end up with a close to wash in terms of overall contributions to actually winning. preventing 2 points is as valuable as scoring 2 points.
All of a sudden they're injured 😂
I think Celtics will take their feet off the gas and relax a bit and will be very careless and complacent. That's how the Mavs will exploit them, seize the initiative and win the next two games.
Yeah no they won’t
That was not the "story" of game one. The Mavs lost/ Celtics kicked their ass. That was the story
💀💀💀💀
@@basketballreachThey were HITTING!!!
Luka is the league's worst guard when it comes to defense. But yall ain't ready for that convo.
It's nice to see a content creator who actually understands how much JT's contributions have meant. Yes his scoring is down, that's because Dallas game plan seems to be to shut him down. And JT is just like "No problem mon. We gots 5 guys out here!". And they do. If JT DOES manage to heat up his scoring, this series is over.
Facts is Tatum begins to cook in this series Celtics in 3 🤣
I’m really hoping to see him catch fire and drop 40 in one of these games.
Relentless on the defense.
@@brendancollins5849YES!!!
Not only is it over but get ready for a Celtics dynasty!! No one is beating this team in a 7 game series
Milwaukee full strength?
@@basketballreach They probably could, or the knicks.
gawd daymn the accent is thick. i would watch in-game trashtalk if the players talked this way.
I said it two weeks ago, let Luka Luka and stop Kyrie. It’s a TEAM sport.
Jrue Holiday, KP and D White way better all around players than Smart, Williams 3rd and Brogdon that is the difference and Mazulla's growth as a coach.
FMVP to Brad Stevens? 💀
I thought he ended with 12 assists. I could be wrong though.
I think your night actually 😅
Nothing wrong with luka, ki needs to hit the open shots
This was Boston at its worst offensively and they still won. It’s over
It is looking that way
Can somebody change the Celtic logo from leaning on a walking stick to a broom? I smell a sweep coming.
Lewker DonKitch
Mavs just had a bad game
Why analysts say Celtics is not “battle tested”?
I have no idea they have a lot of playoff experience
Maybe they downplaying Boston so ppl know Mavs have a chance and watch the series. They all know with all their access to analytics that Mavs is a great underdog here
