Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics have been the top team from start to finish this season, but the NBA Finals is where I believe they will get their first real test of season! The Celtics roster is stacked and they are a really good team, but there have been multiple moments throughout this season where I’ve watched them really fall apart and rely on the three point shot that just kills them in the end. The Eastern Conference side of the playoffs had extremely weak and injured teams coming into it and if they had faced a slightly better opponent in the last two rounds, I feel like the Celtics would not be here. The Mavericks, on the other hand, have been one of the best teams since the all-star break. Luka has been playing at an MVP level all year and has dominated this postseason. He is basically unstoppable and with Kyrie focused on basketball he has turned into the X-Factor of this team. While I believe the Celtics on paper are the better team, the Mavs come into this one playing with the utmost confidence at all ends of the court. Offensively they are lights out, defensively they have grown stronger as the season wears on, and at this point Luka is just knocking down shots from every spot on the court, it’s insane! This series should be close because they matchup well, but Luka and the Mavs are playing with such confidence they are hard for me to pick against, and since I do not believe the Celtics are as good as their record says, I’m going with the Mavs in this one. Luka and Kyrie are on one right now and they look like they’re ready to bring another Championship back to Dallas!
