A lot of fun subplots:
1) Kyrie going against his old team.
2) Zinger too going against his old team.
3) Luka's first Finals.
4) A lot of talk about who is 'the man' on the Cs...Tatum or Brown? I find this talk silly, as Tatum is a top 6-7 player in the NBA & has made three straight All NBA First Teams. Brown is a helluva player no doubt, winning ECF MVP.
4) Cs have been knocking on the door of an NBA title for awhile now. Is this the year they break down that door?
I'm rooting for Dallas. I fucking love Luka. I love his game & his intensity. That said, Boston has been the best team since the jump this season. They're 78-20, including the postseason. I'm going Boston in 7, with Tatum winning Finals MVP.
What say you?
Why do they wait a full week for game one....of course, they then wait three days before game two, so one game in 10 days.
I kind of lost track of the series with all these days off.
Glad others enjoy the NBA; obviously, many do and it should be a great series....
Heart says C's in 6.
Head says Dallas seems destined to win it
Mavs are on a roll now. Kristaps's health has me worried if I'm Beantown.

I hope he is healthy enough to play, hate to see another KD situation
Doncic and Kyrie are forced to go 1 on 1 the entire time

question in my mind is how close to 100% he is.

He looks like 200% right now!
Triggered!
Here comes Luka…
He is like having Marcus Smart without the dumb play.

I love Smart, but he was too erratic. This group is just very surgical. And when the effort level gets low, Brown is the shot in the arm.

Holiday looks like a street baller. His moves around the hoop are so slick. I love his game.

Brown having a left hand has taken his game to another level. He is embracing these playoffs much more than Tatum.
RE: Tatum, at this point it's almost like he's underrated. He is who he is. With the talent around him, he's just kind of settled into a role.
Fuck you too. I smell a sweep coming.
Dallas has gotten absolutely shit from Jones, Lively, Gafford, and Kleber.
Both teams are awful from 3 right now, wonder if one teams gets hot the rest of way.
He was limping before the leg whip

Brown has been significantly better than Tatum this series.
Tatum has been shooting poorly this whole playoffs though while Brown has been shooting well. But there’s no question who the best player on that team has been throughout the year. I just think people hate on Tatum because he’s closer to the 7th best player than a Top 3 guy like Jokic/Luka/Giannis.
Series isn’t over. But it will be tough unless Kyrie drops 25+ alongside Luka. Maybe he does better at home.
