When they get rolling they are very difficult to beat
I think the wins they get this series will look like this . I would expect at least one more blowout win
Dallas is going to have to find a way to win the close games where points are more at premium/neither team is lighting it up , rely on Luka/Kyrie closing those out
Read all the stuff I wrote in this thread. Was I objective even though I'm a homer? I think so.
- The Celtics starting six - Tatum, Brown, Holliday, White, Porzingis, Horford are the best in basketball by far. They all can hit shots (inside or outside) and they all can play defense. 9 blocks!!!
- Luka will get his. Cryrie ain't all he's made out to be. He flopped the last game and that won't be the last time he flops in this series.
-downplay Porzingis at your peril. He's a big stud. Fits in beautifully with this team.
- Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown have grown this season. They no longer feel the need to play hero ball. They distribute the ball and get everyone else involved. They no longer stand around shooting threes. They will often take the ball to the hole. You may have noticed that Tatum only scored 16 points and the Cs still blew Dallas out. That says a lot right there.
- Mazzulla is effectively using his bench. No one is bent over pulling on their shorts when there is a break in the action. Helps both offense and defense.
- This is a much different team than '22 against Golden State. Different coach. And different players to go along with Tatum and Brown. And those players - White, Holliday, and Porzingas make this a much, much better team.
Celtics -6'
Under 215
They know they've sucked in Game Twos just like everyone knows. They'll be out to reverse that trend tonight.
Good luck.

The line is pretty much where I expected it to be. Pretty much the same as the first game. It opened at -7 and has dropped to -6' because the money is coming in on Dallas. I would say that's all predictable. The total is pretty much the same as the first game too.
People think Dallas will correct their ways and will do much more scoring. I don't think either of those things.
Could be wrong.
Obvious from what I have not seen but read Boston is the play tonight but as some said here Dallas is getting the whistles?
I played Celtics whistles will slow pace.. under
what's his name?
