They just hired a yes man for Lebron.

His demands for retiring a Laker were probably hire JJ and draft my son


i def don't think JJ will be a yes man,
that's why I see this going badly.

one thing I think separating JJ Reddick from Nash, is JJ seems like he can tap into being a jerk and being a confrontational guy.

Nash has always been known as a super nice and super supportive guy.
 
I've read and listened to a bunch of analysis on the finals. im zeroing in on a pick.

I really would like to see boston lose, and I despite him being a giant ******* Luka is one of my favorite players to watch.

I think the 2022 Mavs vs GSW is the frame to view this series through.

GSW spacing and ball movement, they are able to pick on Luka on defense and tire him out.

and GSW could go to a switching defense and take away Luka's passing and force him to be a volume scorer. leaving him gassed down the stretch of games.


the problem for is boston;
-they don't pass it as well, aren't as a smart
-are not mentally tough as that GSW team.
- and they don't have a top end singular offensive game breaker like Curry.

on the plus side, Boston should be able to take Kyrie out of the series, they got tons of good guard defenders, Jrue and no one to pick on. I expect Kyrie to be hit and miss this series.


So imo this Dallas case comes down to Luka and the Dallas defense

Is the defense good enough to expose Boston's lack of passing and offensive execution down the stretch?

and can Luka carry the Dallas offense and cut their throats in crunch time?


I hope it happens, but im guessing it doesn't.

Ill say Boston in 7,
but it's close to a coin flip for me.


Go Mavs.
similar sentiments from me
no clear favorites, think it should be a greuling series
hopefully not one of those series where every game is a blowout in a different direction
