Luka is 6/8 against Tatum with 1 shooting foul.
7/11 against Jaylen with 2 shooting fouls
Jaylen has way more time off possession on him which means he’s making him shoot a lot less too.
Tatum was better against Luka in the second half than he was in the first last night.

They’ve dominated every stat all season and still don’t get the credit for how historically good they’ve been. Every stat and every matchup. Vs the east, vs the west. Vs top teams, cs bottom teams. No losing streaks. No bad stretches. It’s just been consistent dominance.

Tatums poke steal or Kyrie late in the 4th was beautiful and Kyrie was so upset which was even better… off topic but this made me recall that

Im not very worried if Porzingis is not seriously hurt.
The Mavs winning this series would require a lot of really good shooting from their role players and bad play from both Brown and Tatum IMO. I think we only need one of those two to play well to win and so far Brown has shown some serious improvement in his problem areas.
Mazzulla also seems pretty locked in and I believe he would make some adjustments if needed.

PJ Washington is their 3rd option, I don’t like their odds of coming back. They’ll need Kyrie and Doncic to both get nuclear all game every game from here on out, like in the first quarter they barely won

Just realized that the Celtics top 6 are all here because of brilliant trades.
Tatum and Brown that Nets deal
White great trade
Horford - dumping Kemba
Porzingis and Holiday for Smart, Brogdon and Williams… all 3 were hurt this year.

Even if we don’t chip for some bizarre circumstance, how can you not love this team? From Joey Mazz to the last bench guy, everyone is so level headed and humble, just a great group of mature and intelligent guys.
Jrue is a beautiful human being. I was already a fan even back in his Philly days and he has done nothing to dissuade me from that. I remember last season when the Heat were beating the Bucks in a game where Jimmy Butler taunted him about scoring all this points “on his head”. I feel like I understand now that there are some guys you just can’t taunt, they are just immune to that sh*t to a point it doesn’t even register lol.

On this off day I would like to bring attention to how stupid Jason Kidd looked wearing a backwards Bugs Bunny hat while addressing the Mavs’ locker room pregame

Jayson Tatum is an enigma, no doubt. But at his worst, he’s Scottie Pippen if Pippen rebounded like a defensive center. So thats pretty insane.

Now imagine no Irving trade and per rumors we take a certain young star on the Thunder. Which if I remember right was the extra pick from trading down to get Tatum.

Right, but then what happens after that and who’s added or subtracted as a result?

Yeah, I think The Porzingod is out. Please don’t play Kornet, go small if you have to.

Don't know what this means but it doesn't sound good. F. Based on 10 minutes of reading through some studies, it looks like surgery is likely needed to correct/repair the issue in the offseason as conservative treatment has to this point been ineffective in any previous cases. Not sure if he would be able to play through the injury in this series, but certainly won't be 100% even if he can gut it out. And to that point I am not sure if it is even an injury the medical staff would be comfortable letting him play through. Not good news at all.

Pick your poison here friends: if something is TORN and he’s day to day, are doing this to throw the Mavs off scouting for Al or is he going to play and we’re doing this to screw them like they did with Luka? Because they know if he’s going to be able to play or not, I refuse to believe otherwise.

No, the extra pick from the Tatum deal urned into Romeo Langford.

Oh FFS. The Celtics probably don't need KP at this point to win 2 out of 5, but I was just loving watching him. He made this feel like a potential sweep or at worst a gentleman's sweep. I can see this going 6 without him. He's such a difference on the floor.
