I do not feel good about this Dallas matchup.

Usually in the NBA, the team with the best player wins the series. Luka will be the best player in the series by far.

Also, Dallas is the best team in the league at closing games: something the Celtics couldn’t do all year until very recently.

Don’t expect anything from KP either.

Our 1-6>>>> their 1-6

And the gap between Tatum and Doncic isn’t as big as you are making it seem….
The gap would be in Tatum's favor if you give defense any reasonable weighting.

For some reason a lot of fans don’t….i expect us to challenge Luca often and not let him sit in a corner and hide on that end.
Yes and they can go after Kyrie too.  There's nowhere to hide Luka and Kyrie.

It's a bad matchup for the Wolves. Their best perimeter defenders are not good matchups for Doncic. Plus, the Wolves lack of shooting allows the Mavs to keep a defender by the rim at all times, which is why the Wolves offense has looked so bad, especially today.

Plus, they've clearly looked gassed since the beginning of the series.

I really like Holiday and Brown against Luka, although I do wonder how they will handle the PnR defense. This blitzing defense they are playing on Luka right now is interesting. Our shooting should disable the Mavs rim protection we've seen.

Still, the Mavs schemes look good and they've executed a gameplan really well. They are a team to be respected. If the Celtics don't play hard to win, they won't.

Slow mo is horrible get him off the floor. Black hole on offense and no he’s not shutting down Luka lol

Edit: he just hit one but he’s still awful

what a pathetic performance by Minn.
They let go of the rope, embarrassing.

I am even more impressed with Indiana now after this complete lay down effort by Minn.
