Are the Boston Celtics about to sweep the Dallas Mavericks?
Notes: In our opinion, the number one reason Boston decimated the Mavs was defensive guard play: Before this series started, we were telling everyone that the main reason why Boston has a better chance to win the championship is because of their defensive guard play… Everyone’s talking about Kristaps Porzingis right now, but when Jrue Holiday D’d up Luka Doncic, the Mavs couldn’t score… When Holiday was Luka's primary defender in the second half, he only scored three points. Luka was being guarded the entire way up the floor. Al Horford played very well against Luka as well. When Al Horford was the primary defender… Luka went 1-8, 0-4 3pts, and scored 2 points. Kyrie Irving got shut down… 6/19 for 12 points… Kristaps Porzingis was a really good lob defender in the first game of the NBA finals… There were multiple times where he prevented lobs with his length… Does Jason Tatum not play well when the Celtics are down? Or does he only put up points when his team is up? Game 1 was the third largest margin of victory in 30 years (18 points). Lakers won by 25 in 2009, Warriors by 22 in 2017, this team by 18 in game 1 7 players on the Celtics made at least 2 three pointer in game 1… which is wild...
