IDK about sucking for the NBA. Celtics were favored to win all year. Most of us that post in here picked Boston to win long ago. I think the bigger picture for the NBA, we saw the best team play against arguably the best young player in the league. and we've seen that play out in the finals many times before.
yeah I agree. why did they opt to play a game on a Friday night and Monday night over fathers day? and it would have been better in a 2-3-2 format as some have suggested here. either way wouldn't have made a difference in who wins. Boston were always going to win this series.
It sucks for the NBA in terms of a competitive finals and fans that wanted a great series. It was 4-1. This series blew.
None of the game were really entertaining either. The Mavs got down by 20 plus almost every game, would make an inevitable run that would never actually threaten to win the game and then tonight was just beyond meh. Second half of the game just felt like both teams were running out the clock.
I guess for me being a dallas fan I have to remove myself from this and I can see where you are coming from. I will say I believe that Boston would have made quick work of any team. even if the NBA got their dream LA/Boston match up. the ratings would have been better, perhaps, but Boston would have swept the Lakers and most other teams in the west with few exceptions.
as the series went on Tatum got better. I'm impressed with how Boston play as a team. they are very deep and have so many guys that contribute all over the floor.
What makes championships great is great games and great series. This was anything but that. This wasn’t very competitive and Denver or Minnesota might have given Boston more competition. Boston still may have won because they are a great team but this series just sucked.
Neither of the conference finals nor the nba finals were competitive. Yawn
McD was an anti-Jedi.Remember when McD tricked Boston into taking Tatum so we could get Josh Jackson? Dude couldn't even win Finals MVP. #JusticeForMcD
This is so wrong did you watch? Tatum numbers across the board better he got screwed just like the ECF MVP his number better that whole series as well! Not sure who he pissed of but the Voters are screwing him. Damn near triple double tonight and better than Brown in both the last two series and they gave Brown two MVPs what a joke!
I thought the only team who was a true match to maybe beat them was Denver. But, that was assuming Denver would round into last year's form and they just never did.
Tatum is 26 and Brown is 27. This probably won't be a popular opinion, but I would take either one of them over Doncic.
IDK about Minnesota. I guess goebert and KP could have had a lock down series lol, only joking. I think OKC would have been a bigger threat than Minnesota or even Denver. SGA is the best player that dallas played against IMO. I think Shaq is right, SGA should have won the MVP award.
I disagree. Brown was a lot better than Tatum the first 3 games, especially on D.
I agree. Tatum had a couple of bad games. Brown and KP played better than Tatum in game 1. Tatum had some really good defensive plays in spots. he wasn't great on the defensive end. Brown was great at both ends for the entire series, other than game 4.
