Luka Doncic when defended by Jaylen Brown in the NBA Finals:

154.4 possessions
32:04 matchup time
21 PTS
9-22 FG (40.9%)
2-8 3PT (25.0%)
5 TO
2 Shooting Fouls

It was the most matchup time logged by a Celtics player vs an opponent in any round of the postseason.

Jayson Tatum officially becomes the 6th champion in history to lead his team in playoff points, rebounds, and assists, joining LeBron, Bird, Jokic, Hakeem, and Duncan

@CelticsUnite18 Lotttta chatter from Mavs fans after winning a game, down 3.

@CelticsGRD That can’t be an accident!

[Michael Pina @MichaelVPina]

Boston’s net rating vs. the Eastern Conference: +10.1

Boston’s net rating vs. the Western Conference: +14.4

Boston’s net rating vs. every team that ranked top-10 in net rating: +7.4 (which was best in the NBA; league average was -5.5)

Pretty dominant team imo

@SalSports I'm still on basketball but hell yeah this got me excited

[Pull up shoot @NElGHT_]

For those that have been here since day 1.. this means everything.

[Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP]

In a 99-game Celtics parade of destroying narratives, none have been obliterated more than the "struggle in the clutch" one.

In clutch minutes in the playoffs, Boston is essentially the greatest team in the history of the game...and quite possibly hyperbole itself.

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

@StoolGreenie It's poetic.

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

@thekidet Did you watch the game?

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

@22_account26816 @BoltGangBaby I think you’re missing the bigger picture here

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

This pass by Tatum had Kyrie lost 😳

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

Give me all of the Kyrie losing sight of the ball memes!

@SalSports Walter Payton

[Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob]

Forget about the "If" part for now - some reasons for the 2nd part of your question -
Mavs are better offensively with him in, possessions that start after FTA's have lower EV, same with FGMs and mostly certainly the opposite is true of possessions that start off of live ball turnovers.

In addition teams usually have a dedicated defender(s) in to guard him who usually aren't as good offensively as some of their teammates.

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

@kawhi_ring About half of that list is sure bet hall of famers. Pretty good company.

[John Dobrowolski @dombroseph]

@CelticsUnite18 Luka is obviously one of the most talented offensive players in the league. But how does a player that is such a negative on the defensive end - and has stamina issues because he is out of shape - get anointed a top 3 player in the league?

@DrGuru_ You forgot 8 TOs

1981 NBA finals Larry Bird didn't see a 20pt game until game 6. He avg 15 a game and only shot it at 40% but he led the team in rebounds and dimes. They took him away with traps and he fed Max all series. All you remember is he won and that's all that matters. #Celtics
