While that might seem old to us (and it is because it’s been more than a decade for the Mavs and over half a decade for KD) they’re recent enough for us to remember and experience them. I remember watching a video that showed that not all paths to the finals are the same. In fact, one of the easiest championship runs was one of the five championships done by the showtime lakers. I think it was even easier than the bubble run, but no one remembers that. We just remember it as one of Magic’s five titles that cemented him as debatably the best point guard of all time.

The Celtics are the favorites in my mind. They have the best records in both the regular season, as well as the postseason thus far. They have the home court advantage in this final. While it's not the first time during the postseason, the Mavs did not hold the home court advantage , they had an audacious way of making the statement that that so-called advantage is irrelevant. Having stated that, I am not too sure if the Mavs can pull this out once again. If they could, it would've been one of the greatest run in the history of the nba. That narrative seems sexier than the Celtics' expected result, and the media wants this sensational storyline🎉. But let's see what happens.
Its either the mavs squeezing out clutch wins, or celtics blowout lol I don't think Luka can dominate Tatum and Brown the way he did game 5 vs the wolves, but I also don't think Celtics can contain kyrie and luka either. Mavs are gonna have to fight hard, but they're good at that. I'm rooting for the mavs though! Either way its been a great season for them and this matchup is gonna be fun to watch!
Mavs fans will be happy to give a good applause to KP. Not seeing why not. There were never any issues. They traided him, because they wanted to try something different
yeah sure. they almost gave multiple games away to a bad pacers team. boston has looked bad for multiple stretches throughout the playoffs. they havent played anyone as good as the mavs. not saying they cant win but they could easily lose in 5 or 6.

As a Celtics fan, if they win (obviously, I think they will as a fan), it'll be in 6 games, and if they lose, it'll still be in 6 games. To me, this is the most realistic scenario.
I hate the fact that everyone praising boston tatum brown, but nobody gives enough credit to their best players that carry them every year. And they are the Refs
5th seed has never won NBA championship all the odds are stacks against the Mavericks, they are against the number one offense, number three defense and number one net rating and 60 win Celtics team. However, if the Mavericks win this, this is one of the biggest choke job in NBA history and its not even close

Maybe not but the Houston Rockets won the championship as the sixth seed in 1995 which is obviously even lower than the fifth seed. They only won 47 games during the regular season yet they swept the number one East seed, Orlando Magic in the finals. Not only that but they won back to back that year, repeating as champions. Lowest seeded team to ever win the championship, if I'm not mistaken.
the problem with what you’re saying is if they had to this starting line up all season then they would’ve been 1st seed. that shit really doesn’t matter after the trade deadline they became a way different team who beat the 1 seed in west, beat the team who beat the nuggets. superstition aside it looks more 50/50

If you asked me 3 to 2 months ago, I would have picked Celtics, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Thunder, and even Clippers over the Mavericks. But after rewatching 26 regular season games and watching all of the PO games. Here is I think what will happen. - Boston has very good 1v1 defense, is very good at switching, has very good perimeter D, has decent interior D, below average PnR D, can do Zone effectively but not great at it. - Dallas is also very good at 1v1 defense, good at switching, has very good perimeter D, has excellent interior D, has good PnR D, and excellent at Zone. - Boston likes to spam the 5 man spread (just like the OKC Thunder), someone will drive and kickout to an open man for an easier drive or an open shot, they also good with PnR, they can do post up but not that good and they also rely heavily and are very good on iso. This team's offense basically live and die by the three and they have very good 3 point shooters from 1 to 8. - Dallas offense is actually dynamic, they can do 5 man spreads (only decent on this one), they spam the PnR a looooot (beyond elite), they are great in iso (beyond elite), they can do post ups very well (beyond elite), there is basically no offensive sets they can't do because they have one beyond elite playmaker and another close-to-elite playmaker. - Having said all of that, Boston will try to beat Dallas on the 3 point line and see if an open drive is available. - Dallas will try to PnR/Lob Boston to death, and try to get those easy switches. Also if games are close, Luka and Kyrie has the edge here by a huge mile over Tatum, Brown, and the entire Celtics. - I don't think there is anyone on the Celtics that can stop Luka from getting his usual numbers. Jaylen is their strongest defender in the wing, but if I were the Celtics, I won't be assigning him to Luka all the time. Reason why Ludort was able to guard Luka well, was because he is heavier (he is basically an NFL player) and that is his role. Same for Tatum, Luka will get his numbers against him too. I think Celtics will have a better chance against Kyrie, but if the latter decides to be more of an offball player this series, even he will get his usual numbers too. Celtics will try to prevent those corner threes from becoming open. - Dallas defense will make it hard for Tatum and Brown, and the rest of the Celtics to score inside. They will force the Celtics to try and beat them on threes, they will designate a roamer and leave 1 Celtics (presumably the worst shooter) undefended or half-defended, very risky because Boston has many good shooters but Mavericks will still dare 1 player to beat them. They will force Tatum and Brown to be passers more than inside scorers. I do think that Dallas has a better chance of defending against Boston's threes than the latter's ability to defend against the former's PnR plays. - CONCLUSION: If Luka is 100% healthy, Mavericks in 4-5. I don't trust teams who live and die by the three, I trust more complete offensive teams to win. And Dallas has elite, lengthy, and physically stronger defenders. If Luka is not 100%, toss up but I think Mavericks will still win in 6-7. I just don't trust live and die by the threes teams, and Dallas was feasting against those lineup builds in the latter part of the regular season and against OKC. If Luka's injury is severe, is limping, or Boston averages 50% plus on their threes the entire series, free win to Dallas' opponent.

Celtics overrated af, how many years theyve been in finals? Most of the time Tatum Kobe wanna be and Chris Brown didnt show up and choked. This time, they will be having a duel againts clutch guys who been knocking down game winning shots and combine 60+ points per game. Watch your Celtics fold.
@@lapdance2122 Celtics have too many guys they can rely on. If Kyrie or Luka have a single bad game they are cooked. I want Mavs to win but Celtics is so stacked its unfair like 2018 finals.
Regular seasons stats really don’t matter just off the simple fact the other 29 teams help inflate those stats. Out of the 30 teams only about 10 are truly competitive 😂💯💯.
Celtics sweep. Mavs haven't shown they can stop them. Luka and Kyrie CAN'T stop their offense and their wing pair won't stifle a heated Holliday and a hungry KP. Kyrie will be 0-15 against Boston since leaving the team. It won't even be close.
Bostons defense will lock the Mavs up. All 5 starters are elite defenders. They have the best shot blocker in the league and he happens to be a 6’4” guard. lol.
Let's not forget that Dallas is the most clutch team in the league and Boston is the least clutch. I don't see Boston winning more than one game. Not even hating, but Dallas. Is that good with gafford and lively
I really hope the Boston players will be thinking the same way. They have no idea what is in store for them. Game 1 wasn't even close to looking like this Dallas team. Game 2 was soon after the trade, and the two studs, Gafford and Jones, only played 13 minutes off the bench. This current MAVS line-up has a better WL% than the Celtics. Mavs in 5.

The wolves struggle with on ball pressure and the Mavs ranked one in defense in the last 15 games. Gobert and KAT are also liability’s. The Celtics actually match up nicely against the Mavs. Luka is great you can’t take anything away from him, but the Celtics do a lot of match-up hunting. JB is going to be a problem for the Mavs.

@@Ashish1984 They have a Losing Record against the top teams in the West ... but, reg season is to get us Here ... What Better Way to See Who the Better Team is ... than a 7 game series on the Biggest Stage of Them Alll? Let's Ride!!! 🏇🏇🏇
If you asked me 3 to 2 months ago, I would have picked Celtics, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Thunder, and even Clippers over the Mavericks. But after rewatching 26 regular season games and watching all of the PO games. Here is I think what will happen.
- Boston has very good 1v1 defense, is very good at switching, has very good perimeter D, has decent interior D, below average PnR D, can do Zone effectively but not great at it.
- Dallas is also very good at 1v1 defense, good at switching, has very good perimeter D, has excellent interior D, has good PnR D, and excellent at Zone.
- Boston likes to spam the 5 man spread (just like the OKC Thunder), someone will drive and kickout to an open man for an easier drive or an open shot, they also good with PnR, they can do post up but not that good and they also rely heavily and are very good on iso. This team's offense basically live and die by the three and they have very good 3 point shooters from 1 to 8.
- Dallas offense is actually dynamic, they can do 5 man spreads (only decent on this one), they spam the PnR a looooot (beyond elite), they are great in iso (beyond elite), they can do post ups very well (beyond elite), there is basically no offensive sets they can't do because they have one beyond elite playmaker and another close-to-elite playmaker.
- Having said all of that, Boston will try to beat Dallas on the 3 point line and see if an open drive is available.
- Dallas will try to PnR/Lob Boston to death, and try to get those easy switches. Also if games are close, Luka and Kyrie has the edge here by a huge mile over Tatum, Brown, and the entire Celtics.
- I don't think there is anyone on the Celtics that can stop Luka from getting his usual numbers. Jaylen is their strongest defender in the wing, but if I were the Celtics, I won't be assigning him to Luka all the time. Reason why Ludort was able to guard Luka well, was because he is heavier (he is basically an NFL player) and that is his role. Same for Tatum, Luka will get his numbers against him too. I think Celtics will have a better chance against Kyrie, but if the latter decides to be more of an offball player this series, even he will get his usual numbers too. Celtics will try to prevent those corner threes from becoming open.
- Dallas defense will make it hard for Tatum and Brown, and the rest of the Celtics to score inside. They will force the Celtics to try and beat them on threes, they will designate a roamer and leave 1 Celtics (presumably the worst shooter) undefended or half-defended, very risky because Boston has many good shooters but Mavericks will still dare 1 player to beat them. They will force Tatum and Brown to be passers more than inside scorers. I do think that Dallas has a better chance of defending against Boston's threes than the latter's ability to defend against the former's PnR plays.
- CONCLUSION:
If Luka is 100% healthy, Mavericks in 4-5. I don't trust teams who live and die by the three, I trust more complete offensive teams to win. And Dallas has elite, lengthy, and physically stronger defenders.
If Luka is not 100%, toss up but I think Mavericks will still win in 6-7. I just don't trust live and die by the threes teams, and Dallas was feasting against those lineup builds in the latter part of the regular season and against OKC.
If Luka's injury is severe, is limping, or Boston averages 50% plus on their threes the entire series, free win to Dallas' opponent.
lol all that and you still aint get shit right
LETS GO MAVS mavs n 5
lol
Dirk's ring says otherwise. People do remember the path.
Celtics in 5, maybe 6, for one simple reason: DEFENSE 🚫
The Mavs have had the best defense in the league since the trade deadline, did you know that? Against way better western conference teams.
... oh, so they gonna Lock-Down LuKai? ... er, umm, What?
3:30 the Knicks were hobbled themselves facing both the 76ers and Pacers. (They literally had like 8 guys if that).

Luka vs Tatum? Really? Who's the MVP of ECF?
This finals will really be Irving vs Brown. Luka's match up with Brunson is coming mark my words.
As a Celtics fan for well over a decade. Regrettably I think my Celtics will choke. I pray they don’t but we just don’t have that “DOG” mentality from our Js’. I’ve watched us wilt in so many clutch playoff moments however, My heart says Celtics in 7 but my head says Mavs in 6.
Imagine being in disneyland this week then be thrown to North Korea next week. If they beat my healthy mavs, they are worthy of this championship.
All True and Alive Gospel Spoken here...
Porzingis is the key for boston. If he gets injured again mavs gonna win it all
Other way around. If he comes back he will mess the Celtics vibe up
@@joshuaflores7513 I think it's both, oddly ... They'll need KP for PNR D ... 'cause LuKai Gonna Work Horford ... Lob City ...

All I’m saying is Boston was 2-0 in regular season, both by large margins by the way.
Hang your hat on that? LuKai for the Win!!!

@@OCLProductionz that’s not happening
Celtics overrated af, how many years theyve been in finals? Most of the time Tatum Kobe wanna be and Chris Brown didnt show up and choked. This time, they will be having a duel againts clutch guys who been knocking down game winning shots and combine 60+ points per game. Watch your Celtics fold.
@@lapdance2122 Celtics have too many guys they can rely on. If Kyrie or Luka have a single bad game they are cooked. I want Mavs to win but Celtics is so stacked its unfair like 2018 finals.
Regular seasons stats really don’t matter just off the simple fact the other 29 teams help inflate those stats. Out of the 30 teams only about 10 are truly competitive 😂💯💯.
you mean Luka vs Jalen Brown ? What did JT do ?
Drop 30ppg, 10rpg and 6asts on 47%fg.
Celtics sweep. Mavs haven't shown they can stop them. Luka and Kyrie CAN'T stop their offense and their wing pair won't stifle a heated Holliday and a hungry KP. Kyrie will be 0-15 against Boston since leaving the team. It won't even be close.
Reply to me.
No. Damn. Way.
Bostons defense will lock the Mavs up. All 5 starters are elite defenders. They have the best shot blocker in the league and he happens to be a 6’4” guard. lol.
Cs in 5
jaylen was the ECF MVP, why comparing Tatum with WCF MVP?
Boston in 6, they just are too deep and battle-tested. Boston would've made the Finals regardless if all East teams were healthy
Let's not forget that Dallas is the most clutch team in the league and Boston is the least clutch. I don't see Boston winning more than one game. Not even hating, but Dallas. Is that good with gafford and lively
I’m just gonna say the last 2 times Dallas played against Boston, they lost
Regular season and playoffs aint the same lol
@@Liam-ex4mffr the sun's didn't lose a game again dallas before they lost that series
I really hope the Boston players will be thinking the same way. They have no idea what is in store for them. Game 1 wasn't even close to looking like this Dallas team. Game 2 was soon after the trade, and the two studs, Gafford and Jones, only played 13 minutes off the bench. This current MAVS line-up has a better WL% than the Celtics. Mavs in 5.
Stop arguing we will just see what happens 😂
We have 5 more days to argue and banter! Get ready for it!
It's probably either mavs in 6 or Celtics in 7

You know it I'm from Texas Dallas Mavericks Tatum cannot get it done Dallas just baked the number one defense in all of the league and they didn't just beat them they beat the s*** out of them. They could've won game 4.🎉🎉🎉😮😮
The wolves struggle with on ball pressure and the Mavs ranked one in defense in the last 15 games. Gobert and KAT are also liability’s. The Celtics actually match up nicely against the Mavs. Luka is great you can’t take anything away from him, but the Celtics do a lot of match-up hunting. JB is going to be a problem for the Mavs.

I sure hope the Celtics players are as over-confident as you are. Mavs in 5. Kyrie will "stomp" on that logo once again.
That reg season record seems to go out the window. Look at who the Mavs beat to get to the finals and look at their records too during the regular season
