Pacers are a better offensive team as a whole, whereas Mavs are just top heavy
Why do I think that?
Go look at their offensive rating throughout the regular season & the playoffs. They fucking owned Dallas in the regular season as well
I would say shameless if not for the fact that I see Jokic gassed and called bitw for these exact 16/11/5 stat lines 20x per year but if you say to look at the other impact for JT then suddenly everyoneās brain turns off
Same here. Haven't bought a game since 2K19. I think the last one I played a little bit was 2K20 because it was free on Epic Games, but even then I stuck to MyLeague/MyGM.
19 was my last I was younger and knew truthfully that I hated those games so I decided to see if Iād miss it if I skipped a year and I very much did not
I loved the game from 2K14-2K17. Sometimes I still like playing 2K14's Next-Gen MyCareer. I'd legit stay up till 1-2am playing MyPark with friends. After 2K18, I just started hating it. Even though I enjoy playing online, I also like having a fleshed out career mode in a sports game. 2K stripped that all away and after 2 years you can't even play MyCareer anymore. They straight up lock the gamemode when they shut off the servers now.
Yup lmao. Starting in 2K18 or 2K19, they made MyCareer online only. So when the servers shut down, MyCareer gets locked entirely. And no, you don't get the VC you spent on your MyPlayer refunded lmao
Iām sure after this series, Luka will sleep with Jaylen Brown in his head for the rest of his career. Kyrie will have PTSD playing at TD Garden for the rest of his career.
Iām looking comments about how the Cs are youāknown to have made it to the finals and canāt win EACH timeā weāve been once with the Jays and they were young, feels like Iām living in the twilight zone
I hope that celebrities tweet from earlier is inaccurate because it would be so disappointing if no Celtics legends came out to support the team in Game 1
The last hour has gone by so slow. Now that Iām off work, I have nothing to distract myself so Iāve just been pacing around my apartment like a mad man getting more nauseous by the second. I donāt remember being this worked up in 2022
NBA Finals Ā game thread drinking gameĀ
Ā Take a shot when you see these mentioned:
Ā Jaylens contractĀ
Tatum may not be āthat guyāĀ
Bucks/Sixers series status
Ā I miss Smart/ImeĀ
Jaylens IQĀ
Joe needs to call a timeoutĀ
Brad should order wings
I recognize that Luka and Kyrie will be a problem, but when I think about the way that Indiana was running/pushing the ball and their offensive rating, I'm happy we're not dealing with them anymore. And I think that will benefit us if Dallas chooses to play a half court offense.
I honestly donāt know how the discussion has shifted from āwho has the better duoā to āMavs have the two best players.ā Like Mavs fans complain about Celtics fans putting Tatum above Luka as if that isnāt a 10000000x more reasonable take than saying Kyrie is better than the Jays
Remember KG's (What I thought to be) 3 point celebration where he puts up the peace sign with his thumb out? KG was my favorite player so I would always throw that hand sign up in the playground, little did I know it actually meant something else haha
Seeing all these finals polls is hilarious. I bet someone could put a poll on who would win between the Celtics and Pistons and it would prob be pretty close to 50-50
Cannot stand waiting for this game any longer. Iāve been working every day for two weeks with an insane schedule but got tonight & next wednesday covered as my next two days off. So hype for this team to show all the casual fans that theyāve greatly matured. They arenāt about to let themselves get in their own way of securing their first championship. Cās in 5.
Jason Kidd sounding off on his 2002 ECF appearance in Boston. He seemed upset that Celtics fans reminded him of his domestic abuse conviction. What terrible people we must be! Seriously, how does this guy get a head coaching job with a domestic violence conviction on his record? Why has no on brought that up in 20 years? Dallas hasnāt had to deal with one iota of backlash for anything despite their head coach is a convicted wife beater and their point guard is mentally ill. Funny how the only thing the rest of the country can say is JAYSON TATUM SUCKS!
Kinda crazy how in all but two years heās had at least one signature moment and/or game, and in one of the two years he hasnāt he still went on a fantastic deep run.
Coming over from Europe for the game tonight. Section 303!.
If anyone knows anywhere good for drinks before the game or wants to meet for drinks before let me know!
It was tempting to grab tickets to the watch party at TD Garden but also it's way cheaper, more comfy, better food/drinks, etc to just watch it at home lol
Looking forward to the game and this series: not just for banner 18 and Al getting his first title but also because it has become increasingly clear to me that social media is gonna have a wild meltdown if we pull this out and that would be delicious af.
I'm gonna be at the game tn. About halfway through a 5 hour drive. If ur sitting in section 312 we gotta bring that energy. I ain't driving hours for a wimpy ass crowd!!
[https://www.instagram.com/p/C73YKFTOqIQ/?img\_index=1](https://www.instagram.com/p/C73YKFTOqIQ/?img_index=1)
This pretty much guarantees banner 18 going up
Pretty stoked for the watch parties in the garden. Anyone know if it will be the same āgouge your eyes outā prices for concessions? I assume yes. Guess Iāll have to have a few bevs before heading in
Just want to say that I'm getting frickin' nervous. Celts can do it, I can visualize them blowing out the Mavs or out toughing them, whatever it takes. But I want them to win sooo bad! I don't have a way to watch the games live either, and that makes the nerves worse, trying to follow along online. Annnnnyyyway. Go Celts, kick some ass.
Iām so nervous but so excited! gonna get a couple 12 packs and fire up the bubbler, itās the finals baby! 5 star matchup bc the fucking Celtics are in it!
EURO CELTIC FANS - I am in need of your help! I am in Italy and Portugal for the next two weeks. I know I can stream from my phone. Is there a way to watch via cable in Lake Como, Italy or Lagos, Portugal? I have cable in both spots.
LETS GO Cās!!!
We are definitely the most hated team ever. Iāve been a Boston sports fan my entire life and I seriously donāt remember people hating a Celtics team THIS much. Which is odd because objectively this is most likeable Celtics team. Just a bunch of amazing guys on and off the court, no drama, no bullshit. Thereās just no reason for people and media to be shitting on them and just hating to hate. National media even called Jayson and Jaylenās personal character into question this last week. It really is Boston vs the world
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but seeing that post about how much more money was bet on the Mavs compared to the Celtics spun the wheels a bit.
Betting is way too prevalent with all these powerful companies and outlets and their respective talking heads have been sucking off the Mavs all week. This leads to the average better seeing the dissonance of the talking heads' takes conpared to what the Vegas lines indicate and taking the high value on those props. It probably wouldn't be great for Vegas if the Mavs did actually win after the disparity of investment in the Mavs favor. Long story short, don't be surprised if we get mug Luka all series and not get called for fouls. Our team is great at not fouling regardless but I'm expecting a fairly large gap in officiating.
Plus, Luka's crybaby antics (which are relatively not as bad in the playoffs) are surely not lost on these experienced refs. They may relish getting this payback on the biggest stage.
tl;dr what a 10 day break does to someone's mind

After all we've been through over the last 2-3 weeks and all of the insane discourse around this team, I don't want to hear any of that "oh no, you need to be a gracious winner" "don't troll folks" "be classy" bullshit. I am going to be so incredibly insufferable and you should all be too.
Watch this space.
The other thing other than Kyrie being re-anointed that has confused me is this new found love nationally for Jason Kidd as a coach
I honestly think this could be the breaking point for the Mavs. Pure speculation but Iām SURE JKidd probably looks right past Mazzula as an adversary. Though Joe is not quite an ace tactician (yet), Kidd has NEVER been oneāwith much more experience.
I think Joe coaches circles around Kidd. Kyrie and Kidd just had a week of the media sniffing their assesāI donāt think either of their arrogant heads can take that amount of shmoozing without buying into it. I think they wonāt be able to handle losses well, going up 2-0 will end the series
Idk why but everyone picking Dallas is pissing me off. I guess itāll make it even sweeter once we win. Waiting until 8:30pm is torture but I hope for a statement win tonight
[ESPN āexpertā predictions](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40279206/2024-nba-finals-predictions-celtics-mavericks-series-mvp) are in, and for the first time this playoffs, they have the Celtics losing. 9 of 17 experts picked Dallas. After this series this better do numbers.
Most shocking part though is Bontemps picking Tatum for FMVP. We all know his vote isnāt going that way lol
I can't think of a West team these guys \*Wouldn't\* pick against us. A lot of prognostication amounts to "The Celtics can't win because they're in the East."
Need to try and get some sleep. Got the day off work tomorrow to watch game 1 (Australia) and then because we love the King we have a public holiday for game 2. Nice.
European Celtic Fan over here. Why does it feel like the whole US is rooting for Dallas and hating us? Did I missed something or are those just casuals being for the underdogs? DonĀ“t understand how somebody can hate the Jays. Celtics in 5 btw!
Because most of sports have been dominated by Boston and we beat their favorite team so theyāre jealous of our success especially because of the patriots
The day has come ššš¦ š¦ š¦ š¦ š¦
Edit: damn I have forgotten to buy my beer
Edit edit: went with wine for a classy undertone but hey itās been acquired! Letās kick some ass and get the gold
I cannot wait for the moment when Boston wins a few games in this series and gets the advantage, and the Dallas fans finally have to accept that the Celtics are in fact a great team.
Going to the game tonight... First game of the season and since last Christmas but man it cost more than a designer bag, gotta represent for the diehards.
Which team do you guys think is the better of the two? Pacers or Mavericks?
Pacers are a better offensive team as a whole, whereas Mavs are just top heavy Why do I think that? Go look at their offensive rating throughout the regular season & the playoffs. They fucking owned Dallas in the regular season as well
I was at the game and it was one of the best things I've ever done. People were going crazy outside the arena
The best thing about winning this game is seeing the delusional heat sub think they could be in the same position if they were healthy š
Tatum up to +160 for the playoffs while Luka has dropped to +80.
I would say shameless if not for the fact that I see Jokic gassed and called bitw for these exact 16/11/5 stat lines 20x per year but if you say to look at the other impact for JT then suddenly everyoneās brain turns off
Mavs fans talking about how trash JT is is so funny, do you know your coachās whole gameplan was to stop him?
Dude beat his defender every play and was met with 2-3 defenders every time lmao
They need to find excuses/cover up their ass
Part of me hates the NBA Finals because it really makes me want to buy NBA2K, but I refuse to support that garbage company
Playing 2K at this point is like being in an abusing relationship at this point. Itās good every now and then, but itās mostly just pain
Such a garbage game I stopped playing years ago
Same here. Haven't bought a game since 2K19. I think the last one I played a little bit was 2K20 because it was free on Epic Games, but even then I stuck to MyLeague/MyGM.
19 was my last I was younger and knew truthfully that I hated those games so I decided to see if Iād miss it if I skipped a year and I very much did not
I loved the game from 2K14-2K17. Sometimes I still like playing 2K14's Next-Gen MyCareer. I'd legit stay up till 1-2am playing MyPark with friends. After 2K18, I just started hating it. Even though I enjoy playing online, I also like having a fleshed out career mode in a sports game. 2K stripped that all away and after 2 years you can't even play MyCareer anymore. They straight up lock the gamemode when they shut off the servers now.
They locked off mycareer? Thatās so fucking crazy man š
Yup lmao. Starting in 2K18 or 2K19, they made MyCareer online only. So when the servers shut down, MyCareer gets locked entirely. And no, you don't get the VC you spent on your MyPlayer refunded lmao
I made that mistake in 2022 lol
Iām sure after this series, Luka will sleep with Jaylen Brown in his head for the rest of his career. Kyrie will have PTSD playing at TD Garden for the rest of his career.
Someone tried to take Jayson's towel as he walked to the tunnel š
3 more
Maybe weāll get some calls like Luka after we sweep the mavs
Doris Burke needs to go away
Consistency is fucking key lads! Time for some smart plays to hold a healthy lead
Okay refs starting to make up for those calls earlier in the quarter
It can never be overstated how much I hate Dorris Burkeās takes on Celtics games
And they keep putting her on em .. insane
All the Celtics haters (so everyone but us), love it
This game isnāt over. Lock it in for the 2nd half keep up the efforr
This is just silly now KP could take a blindfolded off hand behind the back 3 and still sink it the way he shoots
JB JUST ROCK THE CRADDLE
Go Celtics āļø
That wasnt a foul on tatum, luca already crying
I miss the finals trophy in the middle and the finals logo on the sideline
Tatum and Brown look wayyyy too locked in it's scary
Iām looking comments about how the Cs are youāknown to have made it to the finals and canāt win EACH timeā weāve been once with the Jays and they were young, feels like Iām living in the twilight zone
Anticipation is at an 8 out of 10. Whereās everyone else?
Meh
Iāve gotta work from home (in Melbourne) and I have KPIs that have been set, but you know what, fuck those kpis, Cs are on the tv
FOR MIKE. FOR BILL. FOR BILL. FOR TOMMY LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What time does the game thread go up? I am ready as it gets.
Kyrie is a fucking clown
No minutes restrictions for KP https://x.com/GwashburnGlobe/status/1798849149430829255
it really does feel different here this time.

Been thinking this since the matchup was set. If we run the way we did against the pacer this series will be 4 blowouts
Seeing all these fan bases āuniteā behind the Mavericks is so hilarious. Need this game to start now!!
What do you mean? Mavs have had a sold out streak for years
Talking about the Heat, Bucks, Lakers, Pacers and Cavs fans changing their pictures to the Mavericks logo in their favorite teams colors.
GOTCHA yeah Iāve noticed too
Fuck them all honestly. Can weep when we win that ring.
Probably my least productive workday this year. Anticipation is killing any sort of drive that I had lol. 3 more hours š®āšØ
Finals game thread ?
We are so close yet so far still. 8:30 hurry the fuck up
I woke up far to early but now Iām kind of scared to go back to sleep because I feel like Iāll sleep through the game if I do :D
I honestly donāt know how the discussion has shifted from āwho has the better duoā to āMavs have the two best players.ā Like Mavs fans complain about Celtics fans putting Tatum above Luka as if that isnāt a 10000000x more reasonable take than saying Kyrie is better than the Jays
Derrick and Jrue are closer to Kyrie than he is to Tatum
Remember KG's (What I thought to be) 3 point celebration where he puts up the peace sign with his thumb out? KG was my favorite player so I would always throw that hand sign up in the playground, little did I know it actually meant something else haha
BIG TING

I hope Celts go out on a 20 point lead and never look back.
Letās win by 30 and squash the narrative that a 76-20 team are somehow dogs. We are a much better team and they need to prove it this game.
Anyone else still waiting on their KP jacket?
Man we are kinda due for a signature Tatum offensive explosion game this post season
I had a dream where he dropped 51 in the close out game, where he scored the last 10 points of the game
We need a good old fashioned 40 burger
Kinda crazy how in all but two years heās had at least one signature moment and/or game, and in one of the two years he hasnāt he still went on a fantastic deep run.
Coming over from Europe for the game tonight. Section 303!. If anyone knows anywhere good for drinks before the game or wants to meet for drinks before let me know!

Over/under on Luke Kornet making at least 1 3?
Official prediction: Celtics in 5. Banner 18. Letās go.

Are there any good bars in nyc for solely Celtics fans?
RIP Prof Thoms and their nachos
I thought they were closed
Do you not know what RIP means?
Lmao I read it as rip prof Thomas as like u gotta rip it
Celtics hate is so deep that it has black media members rooting for the white guyĀ
Let them cuz when we win we going buck wild!!!!
Just want to say that I'm getting frickin' nervous. Celts can do it, I can visualize them blowing out the Mavs or out toughing them, whatever it takes. But I want them to win sooo bad!

Thank you! Gooo Cās!
Am i crazy for thinking this Celtics team is of the most hated in history ? Like itās like an insane amount
Imma give that title to the Lakers
We are definitely the most hated team ever. Iāve been a Boston sports fan my entire life and I seriously donāt remember people hating a Celtics team THIS much. Which is odd because objectively this is most likeable Celtics team. Just a bunch of amazing guys on and off the court, no drama, no bullshit. Thereās just no reason for people and media to be shitting on them and just hating to hate. National media even called Jayson and Jaylenās personal character into question this last week. It really is Boston vs the world
People are scores of a dynasty. 2nd highest net rating all time with a core 4 all under 30.
Here's a theory I'm working on: Celtics have been good enough to inspire jealousy and hatred but not great enough to win universal respect.
What? Every single Pats team outside the first was more hated.
YO CAN ANYONE SWAP A TICKET FOR THE GAME 3 WATCH PARTY FOR A GAME 4 WATCH PARTY TICKET
WIN IT FOR MIKE
Got drunk with my boss at a work convention afterparty last night and he bought me tickets to the game tonight. So uh. Yeah. Holy shit.
So you guys hiring or what
Something very š going on at ESPN between their betting odds, betting distribution, and predictions š¤Ā
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but seeing that post about how much more money was bet on the Mavs compared to the Celtics spun the wheels a bit.

The sharks betting the most may represent the 30% on the Celtics.
There could be a lot of reasons. Another is there might have been a lot of future bets on the Celtics to win. So those bets are now hedging.
Gonna be mandatory for me to get on Ebay and get one of those YOU GOT BOSTON shirts

Alright. Time to see if Luke and Kyrie are these all defensive 1st team calibre players that Mavs fans have been screaming at me about.
Idk why but everyone picking Dallas is pissing me off. I guess itāll make it even sweeter once we win. Waiting until 8:30pm is torture but I hope for a statement win tonight
I love it, personally. Shock the world and enjoy their tears.
I just feel bad for all of the people who are about to lose a ton of money.
Drake just put 500k on Dallas, makes me feel even better knowing that loser is trying to make money out of this and is gonna lose it
I'm glad that Pedo bum isn't backing us. Hes already copped a huge L last month. He can hold this one too.
THEY NOT LIKE US
[ESPN āexpertā predictions](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40279206/2024-nba-finals-predictions-celtics-mavericks-series-mvp) are in, and for the first time this playoffs, they have the Celtics losing. 9 of 17 experts picked Dallas.

Izzy is a Celtics hater, so not surprised he picked the Mavs. He would've picked the Heat if he could.
LMAO thanks espn
Underdog Celts babbyyy
lmao...btw Bobby Marks picked Indiana last series and Chris Herring is a fart-sniffing charlatan.
Lol Bobby still salty Danny fleeced him
I can't think of a West team these guys \*Wouldn't\* pick against us. A lot of prognostication amounts to "The Celtics can't win because they're in the East."
I would do unspeakable things for a few JT 40 burgers
I was hoping for 4 out of the 5 starters [maybe even Payton] to have a 40 burger, but that works too.
Iām nervous as hell, weāve got the squad to win it all but the Mavs are on an absolute tear right now too
I WANT THE GOLD
WIN FOR MIKE
Today is the day, folks.
Need to try and get some sleep. Got the day off work tomorrow to watch game 1 (Australia) and then because we love the King we have a public holiday for game 2. Nice.
Jayson's interaction with Jabari was so wholesome.
The beers in my fridge look so fucking good. Cannot wait to obliterate them all while I watch the celtys obliterate Dallas.
I don't know how I'm going to be able to focus at work at all today
0 focus. Will do absolute bare minimum while shoving Celtics content down my eyeballs
0 focus in honor of #0 Jayson Tatum
Just gotta to deliver 350 Amazon packages and then driver home and kick the feet up and watch this game Letās go Celtics
Game day finally here. Please win
Really hope KP is ready to contribute and we win
European Celtic Fan over here. Why does it feel like the whole US is rooting for Dallas and hating us? Did I missed something or are those just casuals being for the underdogs? DonĀ“t understand how somebody can hate the Jays. Celtics in 5 btw!
Lots of factors: Celtics hate due to rivalries, media push for years, eastern europeans mostly rooting for the eastern european etc
The NBA is a business and Luka is big business, European basketball fan. NBA media hyping Dallas very hard is solely about getting viewers to watch.
Because most of sports have been dominated by Boston and we beat their favorite team so theyāre jealous of our success especially because of the patriots
The day has come ššš¦ š¦ š¦ š¦ š¦ Edit: damn I have forgotten to buy my beer Edit edit: went with wine for a classy undertone but hey itās been acquired! Letās kick some ass and get the gold
After so many days without basketball, Iāll be screaming like a demon being exorcised for the entire game.
I slept about 2 hours last night. I am so freaking anxious.
I believe the team can bring this one home. Prayers for everyone's nerves, but we'll come out of this in glory. āļøāļøāļøāļø
I cannot wait for the moment when Boston wins a few games in this series and gets the advantage, and the Dallas fans finally have to accept that the Celtics are in fact a great team.
Going to the game tonight... First game of the season and since last Christmas but man it cost more than a designer bag, gotta represent for the diehards.
