The Bucks getting rid of Jrue Holiday was a huge mistake. The real difference maker was defense this goes to show you how important it’s to have solid defense if you wanna win a Championship.
who's the problem in Dallas?
Kyrie Irving is ass! Truly folded in this series trade that man to Washington wizards where all the duds reside
Average Al got it done, everyone did a great job. I feel like Tatum understood the assignment and made a statement which helped the rest of the team.
I forgot it was the finals
Mavs got the gentleman’s sweep
& now it's done???see u nxt season..
So how much did Boston pay to win. The nba had a popular team and they are now the face of the league. That is why they won. Last games was a lost for Boston so they can win at home. Next season they won’t win. Unless Boston pay the league more money. Wow so sad and so obvious
Weak ver. of anything is possible.
Too bad Marcus smart couldn’t be with them to win it!! But 2seasons after they trade him they win it crazy
KYRIE IS ASS!!!!
Congratulations-The Vajay-Jay Twins are NBA CHAMPIONS!!
It doesn't look real. It doesn't feel like they r a real team. I didn't watch it just like the rest of America except Boston. I bet the rating is the lowest in history
Marcus Smart punching air right now
I'm correct if porzingis play in Dallas then 4-0
Celtics 18> Lakers 17
Thats 18!
GO HOME DONKEY I MEAN DONCIC!!!😂😂😂😂 NOT TOO BRILLIANT NOW ARE YA JACK A_S??😂😂😂
Kyrie Irving is overrated, for the next three years they need a back up like Anfernee Simons, they also need another big, try for Randal
Wdym
4:30 that travel so dumb
