I've watched them. You're kidding yourself if you think the Warriors will have to adapt more than the other way around. Every single team from the past would be confused if they play teams in the last 10-15 years. Every single team. Bulls, Pistons would be some of the ones that would best deal a team like the Warriors, but these guys would...

you're saying players should actively look for contested 3's and pass up the open shots, and not rebound the ball whatsoever.

proof that you devote your entire life to steal from other peoples offspring and ways to kill off your own offsprings if that's what it comes down to.

Luka's team has max defensive requirements because they faces fresh opponents because his brand doesn't wear them down (ball-domination lets a defense rest, so they have more capacity for offense - more likely to get hot).. Meanwhile, the Mavs are being worn down by zippy ball movement, so they get colder as the game progresses
We saw it for 21...

Luka could never have a team like this Celtics team because it requires development of great chemistry... Luka's skillset doesn't develop chemistry because the ball-domination imposes spot up roles, so it can only win via talent and not chemistry... So he could never fit Porzingas into the system like Tatum can

when players aren't smart enough to play defense, they aren't talented.

Bold prediction but Derrick white will have a scorcher like game 4 from Miami and average 20 for series really efficiently. Might be enough to win it if tatum and brown score like 24 on mediocre efficiency

Luka didn't fit with Porzingas or Brunson, while Tatum does because he's the better ball player.. Luka is just a dumb ball-dominator that can't win with chemistry and therefore needs more help.
Otoh, Tatum can build great chemistry as an expert jumpshooter that lets the ball move, so he will always have a high chemistry juggernaut that can fit...

That didn’t help at all. Brunson isn’t on the Mavs because they lowballed him(unlike pippen who took the lowball offer). New York also went all out to get him his godfather is the gm of the team his dad is an assistant coach etc

If we switched Luka and Tatum 5 years ago, this Mavs team would have far superior chemistry and brand of ball than they have now.. Off-ball players like Tatum allow the ball to move, which allows great chemistry development over the years as needed for a great-performing cast, aka great team.
Otoh, Lebron or Luka-ball imposes spot-up roles and...

I would argue those runs also sustained by not facing top lvl competition too. If hakeem was facing say the 97 version of Jazz or 93 version of suns he’s an early round exit in 95. If Dirk faces 2010 lakers or 2012 Heat same thing

Oh yes but that’s when he had a good team around him. I was thinking more those runs where he had poor help. Like Luka beating phx in 2022 is an upset phx had better team. Harden beating clippers in 2015.

I was speaking more to sustainability for the duration of a run, but like I said...I was just entertaining something that might make sense.
What doesn't make sense is saying that the Mavs losing this series is because of style of play. It will be because the Celtics can throw out an insanely good lineup with 5 players you could argue are...

Luka harden and lebron have upset better teams. That’s the positive side of ball dominance they’re allowed to be incredible floor raisers. Beating an elite team like Boston sure that’s a different story

I think most people agree with you that the Harden / Luka style of play is not optimal in a vacuum, but way too often you ignore that actual strength of the teams. If you switched Tatum and Luka...the Mavs would not even have made it out of the 2nd round.
The reason this Celtics team is going to win, if they do, is because they have better...

You guys thought a ball-dominator was going to win the Finals!!!!
Haven't you been watching the last 21 years??.. ball-domination has the lowest winning frequency on the championship level.. For example, the Pistons were the worst team in the league this year but they still won 12 games, so ball-dominators like Lebron and Luka produce teams...

"Normally, that praise would be welcomed. In this case, it’s been criticized."
This one sentence from the article describes LeBron's entire career. If anybody else said what LeBron said it would either be ignored as just a meaningless comment that nobody talks about at all or simply acknowledged as a nice compliment regarding a former...

The Celtics likely just have too good of a team and matchup too well for Dallas to win this series with Porzingis playing.
Dallas deservers a lot of credit for the season they've had, but at one point they had a lineup of Kyrie / Hardy / Green / Maxi / Gafford on the floor. There is no world in which you can run out a lineup like that against a...

I sold him on everything because time showed that I was right on like 8 things so his previous 100 posts all agree with me - look it up - recently I was right on Ant cruisin for a bruisin and now Celtics in 5.. Time shows that ALL of my claims about ball movement > ball-domination are true

Horford also isn't completely useless on offense, and can do elementary things like shoot, dribble and even catch the ball.

Tatum, hi, congrats on the win. What are your thoughts on the Lakers preparing to make an offer to Dan Hurley?”
