When Marcus Smart was traded away for Kristaps Porziņģis I thought this was one of the biggest mistakes the team had ever done.
How delightful to be wrong although in fairness getting Holiday was likely just as important if not more.
Derick White had his face smashed into the garden floor in the first have which cost him a tooth. As the game. White says he’d lose them all for a title. If you look at that play in slow motion you’ll be surprised that he was able to come back in.
Was a tad surprised that Brown got the MVP over Tatum. I thought Jason played one of his best games, particularly in terms of passing but Brown has been first rate right along as well.
I suspect this won’t be a bid deal to anyone except for sports writers on talk radio looking for something to argue about.
Dallas actually didn’t play a bad game at all but had plenty of shots that really should have fallen but didn’t.
Of course Dallas’ biggest problem was the Celtics defense that was smothering.
If Dallas adds a piece or two I would not be surprised to see a rematch next season.
Now that the title is in had a few questions:
- Does Horford retire now that he has a title?
- Given their salary cap situation do they simply try to run it back with the same team?
- With a title in hand will the Celtics still be hunger enough to repeat?
- Will Jason Tatum finally get credit as a leader by the Boston press (I’m guessing maybe)
