While you have a fair point about Cade's paint finishing, I think some of the reason for the numbers is due to him attempting more shots than he'd otherwise want to in an attempt to reduce the pressure on his teammate by giving them the ball in anything less than a clear open look. Also if you see the amount of Duren screens featured in this video, that's what makes me think the Pistons aren't going to be as willing to move off of him as some fans seem to want this offseason (due to his defensive lapses).

Celtics win g2. They'll clean up the TOVs and set counters in place for possible counters the mavs may do (setting multiple ball screens like a ram screen, attacking d.white in the post instead of the bigs in space, etc). I may not trust mazzulas timeout timing and midgame adjustments but i trust his ability to come up with excellent gameplans/decision-flows.

The lowest pace team in the league isn't going to just pick up the pace. That's why they're so much less of a threat to the C's specifically than the Pacers, they are not built to keep up with them

People forget that the most ideal defender the celtics have against Luka is Brown: Fantastic defender, lateral quickness, fantastic strength especially lower body, and sufficient pick navigator. this frees up white and jrue to overload kyrie if the celtics implement this tactic of putting brown on luka, and using the white and/or jrue to tone down kyrie, the ring is OURS, there is no other creator on the Mavs and Jason Kidd is only good defensively, he doesnt have offensive schemes to overcome our defence

If Dallas wants to put KP in PnR with Washington then you just live with the guards chasing over and trying to contest. You make Luka and Kyrie take mid-range shots. It’s not like they are 60% mid-range shooters. As good as they are, they won’t make enough to catch Boston’s offense. You can’t take away everything but 1, 2 and 3 are lobs, corner threes and layups. If Boston does that then Dallas will have a tough time generating a league average offense on middies snd isolations

@@michaelahurt Simply put. Guys are choosing who they want to win. Not who they think will win. The other argument they use is "Mavs beat tougher teams". This is a very lazy argument. So the Celtics get NO credit for dominating weaker teams but since the Mavs surpass expectations that somehow cancels out the fact that none of those West teams the Mavs beat is definitively better than the Celtics? Its just blind bias.

They very much need a healthy and effective KP. His ability to pull Gafford and Lively out of the paint on offense while providing rim protection on defense can’t be replicated I love Horford but defenders are more willing to sag off him because his shot is slower and even in his prime he wasn’t an elite rim protector Without Porzingis Boston could pretty easily lose this series. Especially because they are already a shallow team.
