The media grasping onto a Dallas team that NO ONE cared about three weeks ago is amazing. I guess beating the youngest team in the NBA that had no idea what they were doing, beating a Wolves team that shot their wad vs Denver and beating an overrated Clippers team with no Leonard has earned them so much respect.
Let's just ignore the 64 win team that has beaten everyone and everything this season without one of their best players. That is 12-2 in the playoffs with no losses on the road.
I cannot wait to shove it up everyone's ass.
Hoping you are right on all counts. I'm very wary of Dallas right now, assuming they don't blow the 3-0 lead.
Could it be that Irving and Doncic have found their stride at just the right time, that Kyrie has decided to be a decent teammate for awhile to find out what that might be like and that Jason Kidd has learned just enough to be a help and not a hindrance for this team ?
Would hate to run into a suddenly hot team arriving at the finals with loads of momentum and confidence.
Kyrie will be highly motivated (though the Celts went overboard trying to accommodate that psycho) and they have been successfully executing in the 4th quarter, which can be our biggest weakness. If Irving comes out there with that stupid thurible of his, somebody on the Celtics needs to put him on his ass. If he steps on our logo again, somebody needs to punch him. Cedric Maxwell is still upset about that and even talked about it on a recent podcast. We need somebody like Max on this team !!
