Rich Eisen’s Advice for the Celtics Ahead of Their NBA Finals Showdown vs Luka Doncic & the Mavs

sorry Chris you can’t um you can’t have too much of a rest Advantage if you’re a Celtic fan over the we were going to get some mag prob around right around U five minutes to go in the first quarter you began to see that whole concept of hoping to get more more of a rest advantage over the Mavericks beginning to slip away was it Luca’s second or third 30 foot3 that I was like oh this game’s over 20 points for Luca in the first quarter 36 points overall for Luc who won the Magic Johnson Award for most valuable player of the Western Conference Finals um Kyrie added 36 of his own 72 combined points for Kyrie and Luca they had more points combined at halftime then um they had more points combined uh at halftime than the Timberwolves had as a a team yep that’s that’s a fact that’s just ridiculous Hey listen if you told me before the game Anthony Edwards and Carl Anthony towns would go for 56 28 a piece I thought okay they got a shot for playing game six and in Dallas instead it wasn’t even close 36 and 36 uh and I’ll just give you this heads up Chris because I I care for you I want you to be happy do you I do I do son is atic certainly also because it would make my household very happy if the Celtics won at allterior motive to see him happy a little yes it would make it would make this uh a very uh a happy June in in uh in my neighborhood and the m is a Celtics fan that is correct that’s important so put it all together I’ll just give you a heads up uh try and prevent Kyrie and Luca from combining for 72 got it and then I think you got a good shot just forward that to Joe Ma and we’re we’re we’re assuming porzingis is going to come back and he’ll be he’ll be the porzingis that um that Dallas hoped he could well I mean he he should be healthy you know but Luca is just seemed to kick it up a notch and the Mavericks are now back in the finals for the first time since 2011 when the guy in the glasses on the screen their head coach Jason kid played for the team and it just seems that Luca is on a different plane than even his allor plane that we have seen and Kyrie has just removed all of the non-basketball Matters from his life from being front and center of his basketball life and this guy averaged 27 points a game in the Western Conference Finals he had 30 points um he had a a 30-point game two 20 in game three 33 in game four 16 in game five uh pardon me my bad 30 in game one pardon me 20 in game game two 33 in game three 16 in game four and 36 in game five I mean that’s that’s the good stuff and PJ Washington if he can continue to play like he’s Robert ay that would be good um Big Shot PJ Derek Lively has become quite an important piece for this team and that’s the way they’re going to have to go into Boston and try and take a game we would think think you know they’ve got to take at least one game in Boston and that’s going to be up for grabs coming up next week and we’ll talk about it with Doris Burke but for Mavericks fans man this is the Luca that you wanted to see all throughout his tenure and you did see quite a bit of it but you didn’t see some sort of a Swagger Championship Swagger of I’m going to steal your heart and show it to you pumpin type guy and and in key moments of key series it did help obviously that the team that they vanquished in five games got rid of the defending champs for him but youd have to sit here and think they would have done it themselves because of the way that they’ve been playing and um I send my wholehearted congrats to them and uh Cuban putting this team together and then selling it to somebody else see how he it weird not seeing him well when they handed when they handed the Trophy last night it’s like who’s this dude yeah you know when when did he when did he ever run a Dairy Queen you know what I mean but is it true Cuban still running the dayto Day stuff of the I don’t think anybody really knows what’s actually because he that’s what he said when he the cell went through all I know is weird not seeing him last night it it was weird not see well he was there but he was just weird not seeing him front and center yeah catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free

  1. One.thing about the Mavs is that they know how to demoralize the opponent & even the crowd. As in their game play. Long bomb 3's that some coaches would be livid about, alley oops from under your nose up to 80 ft., opposing stars missing bunnies & leaving low percentage players bucket naked on the 3 point line, no look passes that make a big man lose direction, etc etc. Just an exciting brand of basketball.

  2. Bottom line, luka is the best player in this series. And kyrie shows up to the big stage. Boston is stacked but Tatum and Brown have all the pressure.

  3. I mean yeah, extrapolating from how the mavericks and the nuggets have been playing, it does seem like the mavs would have won that series

  4. Lets be objective and look at Defensive Stat lines of the last six teams. Keep in Mind Boston didnt face a single team with a superstar on it during post season play while Dallas beat completely healthy teams with stars. Keep that in mind now.

    Final Eight Teams- Denver, Dallas, NY, Boston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Cleveland and OKC

    PPG Allowed Team Ranking

    1) OKC
    2) Boston
    3) Minnesota
    4) Cleveland
    5) Dallas
    6) Denver
    7) NY
    8) Indianapolis

    Defensive Rebound Ranking
    1) Boston
    2) Minnesota
    3) New York
    4) Dallas
    5) Indiana
    6) Denver
    7) Cleveland

    Blocks
    1) NY
    2) OKC
    3) Denver
    4) Minnesota
    5) Cleveland
    6)Dallas
    7) Indianapolis
    8) Boston

    IF you take the law of averages and SOS and who each team played Boston would be the easiest defense Dallas played so far. The fact Boston does not contest or block many shots is a huge concern especially when going up against Luka, and Tingus Pingus isnt going to change it. That and by law of averages Dallas is the best defense Boston has faced so far. Law of averages show OKC and Minnesota both have better defenses this post season.

  5. Mark Cuban still own 27 percent of Mavs and have full control of the basketball operations decisions the other owners that have deeper pockets will be worrying about the market and the investment mark said that he wanted to take the backseat and just focus the players with is smart mark is getting into online gambling and casino that’s coming to Dallas and other owners has connections to build casino

  6. So you’re a Cowboy fan but not a Mavs fan. I’m getting to the point if you’re not from Dallas I don’t wanna see you reping my team

  7. God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 – "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

  8. Boston about to get torched because all they do is talk and they don’t know who Luka is but they will soon. Kyrie too.
    Boston hasn’t faced this exact team with everyone and everybody.

    So just know Mavs about to bully Boston.

  9. From Twitter:

    Celtics might play Denver: "Denver swept them in the regular season"

    Celtics might play OKC: "SGA outplayed Tatum in January"

    Celtics might play Minnesota: "Boston only beat them when Conley was out"

    Celtics will play Dallas (who they swept): "Regular season is meaningless"

  10. The Timberwolves had nothing left after that epic 7 game's they had with Denver, they were a shell of themselves against Dallas

  11. Luka will get his, no doubt. But if the Celtics slow down the rest of the Mavs, this series is going to be fun.
