Kidd saying Luka would be the greatest Mavs ever if he wins the title this season, media saying Luka and Kyrie are the best backcourt duo in NBA history and Chris Broussard and Nick Wright saying Mavs would win in 5 GAMES and the media basically riding the Mavs all Finals long to win, basically sets them to fail

They got size and athletic, can shoot, can create space, can defense. Remind you of Jordan and Pippen, but Luka (unathletic so poor defensively) and Kyrie (Lacking size so poor defensively) are more popular that’s why they got mavs winning.

I find it funny how many times refs didn’t call and 1 for the Js and we still walk out with that win. Just shows how good this Celtics team is.

Let’s be honest a lot of the media don’t
Like Boston and they know both brown and Tatum can be number one options on majority of nba teams. It’s just salt at the end of the day.

If Jayson Tatum played like he did against Milwaukee in Game 6 of the 2022 ecsf more consistently, he’d literally be the best player in the league. I’m not asking him to load unnecessary pressure on his shoulders when he has a team literally equipped with the sole purpose of alleviating that pressure, but all I’m asking for is his absolute focus on the game at hand, the determination to play this game like it’s his last. He showed that in the 2022 run in Game 6 vs the Bucks and Game 7 vs the Heat and last year in Game 7 against the Sixers and if he played like that or at least came into the game with the same mindset he had for those same games he’d be helping his team a whole lot because now this team that was built to alleviate pressure from his shoulders now finds itself with pressure put upon their shoulders by an inconsistent and way too comfortable JT.

Luka is a godawful defender I’ve never seen a superstar so amazing on offense be so ass on defense seriously his defense this series has been G league level letting blow by to the basket leaving lively and PJ all alone doesn’t help that Kyrie is small and not good at D either but at least he’s trying. Even Carmelo was mid not bad at defense Steph Curry was a steal champion James Harden was a stocks menace in his prime. I love Luka but being this bad on defense will mean he will never win a ring. Harden and Steph played system defense I have no idea what the hell Luka is doing on D.
