Three point game was there was for Dallas and their bench give nothing.
Luka,obviously,was bad by his standarts
But this is okay,just one game,we move on.
Luka 23 points (7 of 23 FG inc 0 of 6 from three). This shows what happens to these 50+ scorers when guarded by decent defenders. Not a Luka hater, we just have a high percentage of scorers to defenders. đ
Mavs are frauds and will never win a title until Luka stops ball hogging
wasnt bostons best punch but they made good decisions. they didnt shoot it v well
You just donât want to trust Boston, cause theyâve been much more consistent than any team in the NBA.
Boston arrogance? sounds very Laker-ish…think there is a West Coast slant
Boston is better than last year's version. The Warriors were better last season (Bob needs to make a trade). There wasn't much between them
Golden State is still the title contender to you? Has anyone ever seen the worst road team make a run to the finals, weâre at the halfway mark I think itâs fair to say theyâll likely be a 5 seed or worse. Lol
Iâve never been a fan/believer in teams that are so reliant on jumpshots, in that respect the Mavs and Celtics are similar, but differently the Celtics have better role players and a 2 headed monster. Unless youâre the Warriors or a team like the old Rockets with Harden, or even the Nets, you shouldnt be living and dying by the 3pt shot.
As a Celtics fan, I agree with a lot of what Jason says about the Celtics playing cocky at times. The one thing I don't understand is how we can ranked below Milwaukee when we've already beaten them in a playoff series? I agree with Golden State being above us because we have a clear issue playing against them, but we really haven't been that threatened by Milwaukee. We did go to a Game 7 against them but we blew them out in it. And just this past Christmas we crushed them again. IMO we clearly are behind Golden State but firmly ahead of Milwaukee.
jeez you woulda thought the mavs won with this one
Jaylen Brown is a first team defender this year he's a great 2 way player đ„
Tatum didnât do anything special, and there was no need for it anyway. Mavs are terrible, I donât think Reggie Bullock has mad 15 shots in the whole season and Iâm being serious đđ they double Luka from the beginning, somehow he gets the ball to a teammate who passes it to the guy whoâs wide open cause Luka is doubled and ofcourse that mf misses, and most of the time is Reggie Bullock.
Tatum was literally statpadding on 39%fg, stop bias.
Finally the an actually analyst with the knowledge he knows the Celtics have a weakness and if they donât fix there will problems especially if they bucks and sixers and cavs and most def BKNđš
Dallas won 7 straight and have 3 key players and their best defenders out⊠Maxi, Dorian, and Josh. Theyâll move past this loss like the Celtics moved past the OKC blowout.
Jason is trying his best here, but we all know that he doesn't wanna trust the Celtics. They're still the best team in the league even when they look like garbage. It's ok for you to say you don't like a team(you don't shy away from telling us how you feel about Westbrook in EVERY video)
growing up means recognizing nba and nfl are dead sports
The boston hate is real.
You trust a team that we beat (but when the bucks were up 3-2 you ain't hear SHIT about them not having Middleton then) đ€
Boston is a great team but they are filled with nothing but Scottie Pippens. They need a true number one if they want to win anything
I'll trust Boston once they finalise thier new monster C which is coming soon cough cough Jakob Poeltl
Who is this guy? Itâs telling that he made it a point to talk negative about the Celtics before saying that they blew out the Mavs. Luka is overrated and itâs funny, he made excuses for this overweight black hole that is a defensive liability. Smh.
Boston is very overrated even though they handled Dallas it shouldâve been much worse & they are very sloppy & not locked in as much at times their shot selection is horrible at times
Jason is losing it if he thinks the Celtics are the most talented team. The Warriors have a better top 8. Curry/Wiggins/Poole/Draymond/Looney/Kuminga/Klay/Donte are better than the Celtics top 8. Warriors have 5 interchangeable wing defenders, a DPOY, a center that guards PGs and gets 10-20 boards. 4 players that can go for 20-40 on any given night….and ALL 8 have championship rings and are proven winners.
Nah, I get you donât trust them but, theyâve been wiping the nets ass, and that ainât going to change anytime soon, the sixers have never made it past the 2nd round, and the cavs have an underwhelming offense. The bucks I understand, but even with that the Celtics still play them well.
Golden state top 8 is much better
Brooklyn has a good shot at getting to the finals this year
celtics got 2 top players in JT and JB, and others are not as top as you said, smart, williams, horford and white etc, we all seen what they can do in the playoffs for many years, don't exaggerate what these role players can do in the playoffs.
Jason, this real sports analysis. Not trolling athletes like ESPN and their stupid disrespectful debates show that demean black athletes.
Boston won't win anything until JT realizes hes a point forward and stop tryin to do JBs job for him and keep pg duties out of chokin ass smarts hands in the clutch.
One day itâs they are scary and the best team and the next itâs I donât trust them. Anything for clicks I guess
Boston isnât as consistent as we want them to be because of Joe. I love him and I think heâs been a fine coach especially considering this is his first year but the Celtics are a power house team because they are lock down on defense with the best duo in the league. With Joe as the coach he is playing to heavy into that. Instead of being the defensive power team we are we are playing offensive heavy. When they are losing it is because of that like we saw vs the thunder. They played bad on defense and focused on offense which led to tons of turnovers and fast break opportunities for the Thunder who were playing without their best player.
Regardless of this Boston is still the best team in the league and they will prove them come playoffs. However, I think we are missing Udoka (yes I know he messed up and absolutely needed to be punished for it) but he was our leader driving the team defensively which all but guaranteed a win because of the 2 way players JT and JB are. (Obviously aside from GS where JT had a bad series)
Bucks have been struggling lately but have also only had 69minutes of playing time with their big 3. I feel that they can win some games at home against the top three or four seeds in the east, but on the road I see them struggling without Middleton or Jrue being in the line up. The Bucks offense is terribly lacking without all of their pieces. Boston and Brooklyn have to be the favorite right now because of the way they played in general throughout the season. I would still trust Boston over Brooklyn since Boston has had the most recent success/have been all year minus a rough stretch in December.
