-Will Porzingis be at 80%+ ?

-Will Lively be 95%+ ?

-Kleber blocks shots with his left, but will his right shoulder allow him to space the floor ?

-Will Brown’s slashing be diminished by the combo of Dallas’ perimeter on ball defense, and Dallas 48min of elite rim protection ?

-Will Tatum choke in another finals ?

-What Boston alumni and celebs show up in Boston ?

-Will Kidd employ any zone defenses against certain Boston lineups ?

-How many more good games does Horford have in him; after playing so many minutes in Zingis absence ?

-How well can Jrue guard Kyrie ?

-How well can White guard Kyrie ?

-How well can Brown guard Luka ?

-How well can Tatum guard Luka ?

-are there any coverages Mazzulla can throw at Dallas that can fare any better than Minnesota’s coverages ?

Kyrie redemption arc. It will come down to a G7 in Boston with all the racist fans shouting at Irving while he hits the series-clinching FTs.

Fantastic series. Dallas seems serious right now. Celtics are a wagon.

Jrue will annoy the shit out of Kyrie but he seems to be less bothered now. So that’ll be interesting.

If Tatum shows up and/or out the Celtics will win. But it’ll be a battle.

I think what’s more interesting is how will Dallas guard Celtics guards? Minny offense is one dimensional by comparison.

Boston in a very exciting 6. If it goes 7.... I'm taking Luka/Irving. Would bet 50 grand on it.

Can Jay Jays, pull off 2006 Wade!

Dallas was shocked once. it can be shocked again.

ofcourse, it can go the other way too.

Both Jay Jays are capable of pulling off 2011 Lebron.

It will be a unique challenge for Dallas in these playoffs so far, Minny and OKC have one threat and nobody else around them was very consistent. The Clippers had a couple guys who played decent at times, but nobody’s had the options the Celtics have.

That said, Dallas is more physical than anyone Boston has played, and I think that can be a Boston achilles heel.

It’s gonna be interesting.

I will say this, whoever wins, a big part of the credit goes to Lebron.

Dallas are gonna win. Luka fanboys will multiply in number and become the worst fanbase of all NBA players ever.

I feel like a baby deer legged porzingis and old horford is gonna get totally punked by Gafford, Lively, and Kleber combo.

And Luka + Kyrie > Tatum + Brown.

I think Dallas will pull the Championship off.
