DAL/BOS final

[Madison]

Lay whatever C's crush them. It's destined!

Kyrie vs Jrue and D White ain't happening for Kyrie.

Doncic vs Brown and Tatum ain't happening defensively.

Forget Mav's D. If Mazzula matches up properly it's over.

Trying to get down for 2300 to make 1000.

If the Porzingis injury lingers, Boston is vulnerable.

And Dallas scares me as a Celtics fan.
That Mav backcourt can score at will.

I love old man Al, a pro's pro, the consummate teammate, yadda, yadda, yadda, but without Zinger to help out on defense, old man Al is going to be exploited.

I agree... there's a serious lack of rim protection for the C's right now and that doesn't bode well for them in the next round if KP doesn't return to form.

I don't know about KP. The one I want to see back is Kornet. I know, I know, but he is serviceable and eats 10-15 minutes capably to keep Al fresh. Certainly their Achilles heel though, just not sure DAL will be able to expose it.

[JIBBBY]

I don't like the Celtics. Will be pulling for the Mavs.

[Eddy Munny]

Celtics sometimes get too comfortable settling for long jumpers... they kinda remind me of the Jazz from a few years ago with Spider Mitchell, Bogey, Ingles etc. With Porzingis in the lineup it at least gives them another dimension on both ends of the floor.

Let’s hope it’s a good series. All 7 games.

Well we have a week to argue and watch baseball don't blow your load just yet

[TheGoldenGoose]

Got the Celts at +250 and I’m not one to hedge.

Go figure, BG likes the Celtics?
The hell you say?

[Madison]

I made a small "C's win game 1 and the series". -140.

Series was -220. I thought this was great value. Just looked and it's now -150 so I guess others agreed.

Would REALLY love to see Horford get a title. Guys been a player and class act for a LONG time.

[Madison]

5 days later, this seems destined. Just trying to figure how much to lay at -210. I get -210 vs Kyrie/Doncic concerning.

Really, isn't BOS way stronger once you get past the top 2 for each team?? I just don't see DAL bigs with any advantage over HOR/KOR/POR.

[Crusherrr]

I'm done betting against the Mavs. Won't do it this time.

There probably is value in the Celtics line (or was). I'm just not putting any money on it.

[gauchojake]

This starts in August right?

[JIBBBY]

Celtics should get this.

Valid/Understood point. If the coach shows up this should be a layup. Say what you will about last year but the guy was put in a very difficult situation. Key here is look at the bench coaches this year vs last. Aren't the Lakers already looking at Cassell?

[Madison]

Coaching ... Why did Minn let LD play point and just dribble the ball up uncontested?? I'll be very disappointed if Mazzula doesn't pressure him full court and make the Mav's start their offense without LD just walking the Mav's into their Off. I keep looking at the depth and I'll be amazed if the C's don't average 125+ PPG here. Let LD and Kyrie work hard and get their's but the rest is over.

I'll be very surprised if Pritchard doesn't have a big part in this.

Kudo's to LD and Kyrie, but the rest of the roster is mismatches C's. What do the Mav's do when the C's isolate and post up J Holiday?

Blast me if I'm wrong but, this is #18!!!

This is not the time to be BIG. Use caution. BOS easy!!

There's no "correct" way to guard Doncic... I mean if he's gonna casually knock down logo shots like he did in Minny's elimination game then you're pretty much toast. A high trap opens your defense up to whole nother host of problems. Luka is out there seeing plays unfold before they happen like Magnus Carlsen at the chess table.

We will agree to disagree ... Comes down to coaching. BOS will DEFEND. They have best D in the league when they decide to apply.

Relax Bigs, Jibby ain't mush. I know my hoop! Celtics got this. I don't even like the Celtics either.

Kidd can coach, I'm not worried about that, but Boston has superior personnel than Minnesota did, period. With Porzingis out there the floor spacing and ball movement will be completely different than what the Mavs faced last series.

+185 Underdogs? Why Betting on the Mavericks Could Be a Genius Move (betus.com.pa)


bro the app on iphone "the score" has the little side thingy that says chat and it usually polls everyone for the game, 3847 votes already, they're usually right too, got 62% to 38%

All astute evals. Over all I just think D or lack thereof decides this. I have BOS in 5 or 6.

Funny, media did a poll of local sports writers for each city. Totally, 180 degrees with average BOS in 5 or 6, and DAL about the opposite with DAL in 5 or 6. Say what you will about aged Shaughnessy but he does have an interesting comical side. His take was essentially DAL in 7 and Kyrie tormenting the Celtics in game 7. Talk about a nightmare as a C's fan. OUCH!!

[Madison]

BOS closing Canal St at 4pm to vehicle traffic so the public has easy walking to local bars. Wonder what the average blood alcohol level will be. Good thing they don't have WUI. (Walking Under the Influence) LOL.

I'm getting/already old but man I never thought I'd see supposed 21K for 1 seat near court for a game one. $$ has become toilet paper for way too many. Wealth gap is beyond widening, but that's a conversation for a different thread and a different day.

Feels like October since we've seen a game. Buddy wanted to bet Over. My advice was to be cautious 1st half with the 9 day layoff and finals jitters might be Under.

Here we go!!
