"I mean, I'm not surprised. I talked about it earlier in the season. It's going to be sick when we go on a run and it seems pretty sick at Fenway now that we're going on a run." - Jarren Duran

Tonight is LeBron James’ last game playing in his 30’s.
He’s NEVER scored less than 10 points during the entire decade.

Love the message from Jim Calhoun too. “No question you were one of the greatest players I ever coached.” ❤️
Joe Mazzulla starts off his presser by saying that Payton Pritchard’s three was the play of the game.
Praised him for taking the shot when others might not:
“Celtics basketball”
My NBA Finals prediction:
Celtics in 5.
This isn't really as much about the Mavs and not believing in them. This is how confident I am in Boston. But for some reasoning:
-I think the four stars will all show up. I trust the Celtics "other guys" more than I trust the Mavericks "other guys" to show up too.
-Both teams are going to score. It'll be about which team can buckle down and get stops on occasion, and I think Boston can do that better than Dallas.
-There are more attack points on the Mavs defense than the Celtics defense.
-Boston may shoot themselves out of a game, or maybe even two. But you have to win a math problem four times in seven to beat the Celtics, and no one has solved that equation all year.
-For all of the "Boston hasn't played anyone! They've had an easy path!" stuff (which is all somewhat true!), Dallas hasn't seen a team like the Celtics either. Boston is better than anyone the Mavs have played, because they do it on both ends of the floor.
-Finally: The Celtics are 76-20. They went 64-18 in the regular season. They've been dominant all year long. That's carried over to the playoffs. It's a different team than the ones from years past.
I fully own Luka and/or Kyrie could win a game, maybe two, by themselves and I'll look dumb. I could very well be wrong that it's over in 5. But I am extremely confident in these Celtics, as I have been all season long. Everything has built to this. This is the best team of this Celtics era by a wide margin. It's time for Banner 18.

A camera crew has been following the Boston Celtics all season, filming a multi-part documentary series similar to "The Last Dance." 👀
