I really hope this is the series we think it can be. Gonna be a super fun match up with the two vastly different players. I'm a Lakers fan so naturally I hate Boston but man I really love the players on that team. And the Luka Kyrie combo has really proved me wrong. I thought that combo would implode but here they are.
Unfortunately I gotta watch it tomorrow due to a birthday dinner.
As anticipated, KP was the game changer for the Celtics. With his elite rim protection, nobody outside of Luka could get good shots in the paint. That and he draws out the Mavs centers to clear the driving lanes. The great shooting was just the icing on the cake.
This is the next best thing for the league besides Lakers Celtics.
I root for Mavericks because it makes Thunder look good. Celtics capsizing at the end of an expected championship run is chefs kiss IMO. Mavericks are the clear underdog.
If Muscala or Blake Griffin were still on Celtics, I’d root for them. But there’s no one I care about there anymore.
