A Boston Dallas NBA Finals is exactly what Insidehoops needs

[BallsOut]

So many headlines

Kyrie returning to scorn Boston fans

Doncic vs Porzingus for Euro bragging rights

Kyrie winning with Doncic proving he does more than Lebron with less All stars

Another chance for Tatum to choke in the finals

Kyrie vs Drue good offense vs good defense

Manny vs Boston

RMWG vs Kyrie fans

ISH traffic spikes due to above arguments

Would be an instant classic

And Jeff would be happy

The Euro bragging rights is only a competition between Luka or Jokic, Porzingis is still a role player. Right now Jokic is the Euro king as the MVP and champion. Luka could take that away if he wins the title this year since he already won the scoring title and was close to being MVP


All your points being about Kyrie are a bit dumb since he's the second option, except potentially making Boston fans cry


This forum's traffic is like 25 people so maybe it can spike to 30

It will give Bill Burr some great exasperated material full of historic Celtics references.

Also, a chance for Tatum to go apeshit ham and silence a bunch of critics. But the scoring has been relatively balanced across the team so I expect his current playoff numbers to be about what he'd average in the Finals.

By going apeshit, maybe attempting one extra shot per game? Timid Tatum doesn't have it in him to go crazy

All I can say is when Dallas beats Boston and Kyrie wins FMVP Real Men Wears Pink is gonna cry. :pimp:

[CurryOverLebron]

We're going to get Luka/Kidd vs Haliburton/Carlisle because

-Dallas has homecourt advantage over Indiana
-They're not letting Luka or Jokic beat top seeds. So they have to settle for 8th seed and 6th seed.
-Luka is going to surpass Larry Bird. It's why eastern conference finals is between the two teams Larry Bird is associated with
-Lebron is going to 3-peat after Luka wins this years championship. He's going to end up with 7 titles. Hence why Luka wears #77 and is going to win title on NBA's 77th season. After he wins as a 5th seed, only remaining seeds that have not won a championship will be 7th and 8th seed.

Nikka you gay.

Well it’s interesting, because Lebron is Boston’s daddy, but hes also Luka and Kyrie’s father figure.

So it’s like… how does that dynamic play out? But the bottom line is that such a finals would really be about Lebron first and foremost.

Why Jeff? I’m not at all familiar with dude’s taste in basketball stylistically or regionally ? Can someone besides Jeff fill us in ? And then Jeff can come and amend any misrepresentations ? :lol

Honestly the very thought of Boston winning it all makes me feel sick

I know that Luka & Kyrie will pull it off but if somehow Boston win I would genuinely quit posting on here

Luka & Kyrie are the only ones who can get it done. There's no way I trust this dumb ass Minnesota team to beat Boston. Just because they got by a Denver team that had no depth & an injured Murray doesn't mean they can compete with Boston's talent, and they're even dumber in crunch time than Boston is.

[Kblaze8855]

It would definitely have the better storyline and be more entertaining, but Minnesota is still the second deepest team left and the best defense. I’m sure the league is hoping they don’t come back.

[90sgoat]

It will be a great finals for sure.

I do think Mavs match up well against Boston, because they are a 3 point chucking team and we've just seen what Mavs do against so-so driving teams that like to chuck.

Of course Celtics are better, but Mavs will still try to make Horford beat you like Naz Reid did. The problem of course is that the rest of the Celtics are much better from deep, you don't have a McDaniels there, instead you have Tatum, Brown, Prichard, Holiday who are usually good 3-point shooters, Tatum's struggles not regarding.

I think Mavs will let Brown and Horford get their 3-point shots. That would also take away Brown's driving, which is more of a threat.

[MMM]

Mavs have elite rim protection and might hurt Boston's ability to get into their kick and drive game. Hopefully KP is back to offer relief in the pick and pop game and mid post area. I have my doubts on Dallas overall offense and shooting out side of clutch time while the Celtics typically avoid clutch time all together.

It would be a good matchup for sure. Certainly the one I'm hoping we get, altho I'm not counting Minnesota out just yet. I'm not *technically* counting Indiana out either until/unless they lose tonight, but realistically it's pretty improbable for them.

Dallas - Boston would be pretty lit tho.

Kyrie Karma will bit back for sure.

He did Boston dirty.

Then he did Brooklyn dirty.

Kyrie must pay for his sins.

He already did with all the injuries in his career.

Nets & the city of NY did him dirty tbh. He should have been allowed to play without getting vaccinated but they made an example out of him. He wasn't putting anyone but himself at risk by not getting the shot. Visiting teams that had unvaccinated players could still play at Barclays which is the dumbest thing about that whole situation. The mayor wouldn't change the mandate for Irving but did it just as soon as baseball season started. Nets deserved everything that happened to their horrible ass franchise too.
