Kyrie has to go off ( it's a given Luka will also have to go off ).
Maybe this is the night.
I don't think he's even hit a 3 yet.
If the Celtics shoot like they did in Game 2 AND Kyrie goes off, that's how Dallas wins.
Maybe that happens tonight.
Kyrie has to hit shots for them to have any chance.
It won't be tonight though, because they play tomorrow.

All you did was rattle off a bunch of high scoring pgs. There's more to basketball than scoring stats
Again holiday was picked for the Olympic team for a reason.
The bucks got worse when they let him go to get Lillard, who is supposed to be one of the best pgs in the league, and has statistics to back

Holidays impact on the game farrrrrrr outweighs the numbers he puts up. I'd take him as a point guard over just about anyone right now, although he isn't meant to be the star
Think of how elite luka would be if he played with jrue

We don't know if the Bucks got worse going to Lillard (yet), in my opinion. They weren't healthy enough last year to know for sure, not a fair comparison.

Jrue is awesome. There are a dozen guys better than him at his position.
Fake news. The players in the league value him a lot more than fans do. There's a reason he's one of the only point guards in the Olympic team. Holiday impacts winning at a really high level
It's crazy to me KU fans don't see it. Yall will argue that dajuan is the best true point in college when there are dozens who put up better numbers
Jrue is one of the best PGs to have if you have two superstar players who aren't PGs. If Jrue had to be counted on to be the main offensive threat for Boston then Boston would be royally fucked and there would be a dozen other PGs who would be a better choice to do that. He's a great third star who is awesome at filling whatever role is needed from him.

If you swapped Kyrie and Jrue, I don't think Luka would be much different other than having a few more points per game and missing a few more games due to the additional workload.

If you swap Kyrie for Jrue then Dallas would get worse in my opinion....but I am not sure Boston would get better. Jrue fits very well with their team. But part of that is having White Brown and Tatum next to him.
I think in that scenario both teams get worse.

Agreed. He can be 3rd or 4th on a contender, but not 2nd.

No Porzingis changes things.
I still think the Celtics are better but now you can target Horford.

Hopefully he can play. Even if not at 100% and not for a full workload.

I am not sure how Dallas can win with this type of defense. Feels like Celtics should be favored even on the road.

Kyrie hasn’t been all that better either.
Celtics without Porzingis will have an issue guarding the basket from lobs - so they’ll need to get back to that - and have hot shooting nights from both stars.
I teased Dallas’s line in a parlay bet and took Celtics ML in another.

I've got Dallas ML and then another bet for Celtics to win by 6-10pts.
