What a difference a series can make. At the end of the WCF, many people were calling Luka the best player in the league. Not so much anymore.

He's single-handedly keeping them semi-competitive. Luka is clearly better than anyone on Boston's roster, but Boston has five guys comparable to Dallas's #2's (Kyrie) overall impact. Add in the fact that they're switchable from 1 through 5 (likely one of the most unique teams ever in that respect), and he's at a severe disadvantage on both ends of the floor.

Boston is also just a great deep team. 4-5 two way guys that are clearly better than any of Doncic teammates outside Kyrie - and honestly I put Kyrie last on that list. I don't think there's a player in the league that could swap spots with Doncic and beat these Celtics.

Agreed 100%. It's a team game and Boston is very good.

Connor McDavid is showing the same thing in the NHL, with his Oilers about to lose, too.

Luka was the best player in the NBA during the Minnesota series. He sliced and diced Conley, Edward's Gobert, and Towns was taking a nap.

against Boston ?? Holiday & White are pests. Tatum & Brown are both physically gifted 2-way players. Horford, Porzingus, Tillman patrol the rim. Even Doogie Hauser gets his slap happy on.

Boston is playing very good team defense. When the Timberwolves did adjust the gravity towards Luka, Kyrie took over with All-Star scoring.

Not saying it's Irving's fault the Mavs can't beat Boston. What I'm saying is the earth was flat during the WCF. The court has definitely been rounded by the Celtics defense.
 
ok, maybe pumped was the wrong verb. Mavs fans look like it's a casual Friday night basketball game. Getting down 3-0 drained the life out of Mavs fans
 
there's a bunch of green in the Dallas arena. Boston fans trying to sabotage the Maverick mojo
 
Dallas up a dozen after 1
both teams played hard
 
Celtics can't do anything right. Mavs up 18. Coach Mazzulla needs a timeout to straighten things up
 
Luka feeling it, he's up to 18. Mavs up 20. Boston calls another timeout
 
Celtics aren't even trying.
 
frantic Mavs defense paying off. The Celtics still struggling. 31 & 25% shooting
 
I hope Paul George is Steven A's permanent replacement when PG retires
 
Coach Mazzulla trying to set a Finals record for timeouts called in a game.
 
Jrue Holiday 5 turnovers, posted a -38

the Blazers #14 rookie will be incredible, Cronin is a genius
 
I cannot remember the last time I decided that a Finals closeout game was not important enough to change my plans and make sure I watched.
I got home last night after this game was over. Will I watch game 5? I will if I don't have anything else going. When is it? Not sure at this point?
 
I just realized i voted Celtics in 5 in the poll before the series started. I'm probably going to be right on that one.
 
Boston triple, steal, layup, steal, layup to end 1st quarter. Mavs down 10
