    Dallas never stood a chance. Has no business being in the finals.

    it's a variable bad defensive variation. While Anfernee can move his feet a bit better, his featherweight frame usually gets swallowed up on picks, and chewed up near the basket. Luka is bigger and stronger then Simons, so he can push back against bigger opponents trying to back him down. Getting back on defense ?? Both players save all their energy for offense only.

    Doncic and Irving are extremely talented players, but they aren’t fundamentally sound. Way too much playing iso ball and forcing bad shots.

    Celtics squandering their 20pt lead. The refs are helping a lot ... imagine that ?

    Coach Kidd throws his challenge flag. He thinks it was a clean tackle by Luka
