And some Suns fans want to trade Booker. Tatum is fantastic, you don't earn multiple all NBA teams if you aren't, sure he's not had an great finals, but he's still a great player, best on that team.

I’m not saying he’s not great, I’m just saying he’s not in the same tier as Luka

Celtics are built so well. I can only see them getting better too.

Booker is egoless too. Almost to a fault.

To be fair very few in the history of the game are.

Celtics are doing a great job of limiting the Mavs from getting easy shots like lobs and corner 3s.

They have the best defense on in the league, idc what Minnesotas stats say, Boston especially with KP are the best.

Porzingis completely changes the Celtics ceiling and I'd still have taken the Mavs to win the series if he were out.

It's too bad that KP and Brunson didn't stick around to grow with Luka, that'd have been something 😂

That’s the problem with Luka…he doesn’t like to share. Brunson wouldn’t have become who he is playing next to Luka…KP would’ve worked, I just think he still wanted to be featured in the post. He’s bought in and the way he’s playing in Boston would’ve worked next to Luka

Luka shares just fine with Kyrie, so while Brunson probably isn't the 28ppg guy he is in NY he still was pretty good and had room to grow, now Lol that was on him, he definitely had a change of attitude on Boston, if he'd had played this role in Dallas he'd still be there.

The difference is Kyrie can play off ball better. Brunson kinda needs the ball and likes to run everything. Not sure about this year, but last year Luka and Brunson had the highest average time spent with the ball in their hands.

Edit: I checked and they were in fact 1 and 2 again this year(Brunson was 1).

Kyrie was 32nd. Brunson/Luka were just too similar.

Apparently Porzingis has a fairly significant injury per the twitter verse, guess we're about to find out how good Boston is without him.
