Celtics could definitely win it but it'll be a good series. It sucks that it won't start for another week. Why did they schedule it like this?

Ant needs more time. Also not sure about Gobert if hes not helping offensively and getting cooked defensively as a DPOY. KAT needs to be more consistent.

Celtics about to get a reality check when they finally face a healthy top caliber team in the finals, their east run was a joke.

Mavericks restructured their team around the deadline and have been totally different since. Benching Hardaway Jr, trading away Grant Williams, the additions of Gafford and Washington. The emergence of Lively etc. They are not the same team from the beginning of the season. They handled LAC, OKC and Minnesota which are 3 juggernauts from the west.
I don't see how Luka and Kyrie don't will that team to victory, they are total psychos especially Luka
People also seem to forget that Kyrie beat probably the greatest team of all time in 2016, dude was insane and Kyrie is in his bag atm.
KP is also coming back from injury has never played beyond the first round in a playoffs. I think he'll be spooked jumping RIGHT into the NBA finals off an injury (assuming he comes back).
Mavs in 6-7

I just want to see Dallas win to have all the narratives that kyrie was a cancer, a detriment to the team, that he should retire fall completely flat on its face.
Kyrie is literally the greatest robin. clutch, can create his own shot at will, take over the game if needed or the main star is struggling, can assume on-ball and off-ball roles. Let's be honest, Brooklyn probably would have won a chip if Kyrie and Harden didn't get injured.

To give enough time if a series went to 7 games to still allow some rest they always do this

JJ Reddick getting the Lakers coaching job apparently. Fast forward 2 seasons when the Lakers once again underachieve:
"Me and JJ Reddick were never friends, in fact, I barely know they guy and he was never my choice for the Lakers coaching job. That was all on Rob Pelinka and Lakers management."

I'm hoping its Mavs in 6. Even though his politics suck I really respect Mark Cuban and the Dallas organization. They do business the right way and are willing to be loyal in a cutthroat industry. Love seeing Dirk at the games too.

I have nothing against Tatum or any of the Celtics players but I'm just sick of people hyping him as the next Kobe every year and him choking in the playoffs every year. Jaylen Brown is way overpaid as well. Plus most Celtics fans are also Red Sox/Pats fans so it would be good to see them lose.

I really dgaf about Cuban's politics in general, but the DEI shiit sank him in my mind. Him being loyal is nice, but it's all wiped out by his pro-DEI tirades in interviews and on social media. Fukk that guy.

The whole dragging him through the coals because of the vaccine and him posting a link I thought was kinda ridiculous lol. Let the man breathe. I think if Kyrie wasn't injured pretty much every playoff run he wouldn't have gotten half the criticism. I'm just glad to see him actually have a healthy playoff run.
If you really think about, he's arguably robbed his team of two championships because he got injured. One with the Cavs and one with Brooklyn. You could throw Boston in there that one time but I don't think the Warriors would have been beaten by them. But I think the Warriors would have been beaten in the first matchup with the Cavs if Kyrie was healthy and Phoenix would have been beaten as well. Lebron would have 5 chips, Durant would have his chip being the main guy as well as Harden having his chip. Curry would have one less chip but I think his chip in Boston has solidified his standing as he's proven he can win against a legitimate, healthy team without Durant.
