What a first quarter by KO and the Celtics. Withstand the rush and slowly chip. Get it under 8 by halftime. Can’t get more than 18 though.
Celtics getting much better looks and they are making them. Dallas looks a little rattled early.
Settle down

He was gassed when he left. Kidd asleep at the wheel to start though. Very early Hardy.

Jason Timpf is looking prophetic at the moment.

This isn’t the same as Jaden McDaniels making his threes. They are always going to do this, because this is what their team is built to do.

That´s sadly what I expected so far. Only hope I had was for us to win game 1 and shake their confidence.

THJ is nailed to the bench.

Largest lead after the first quarter of game one in NBA finals history.

As the second quarter starts, the two guys defending the quarter shooters are still putting their inside foot in the paint to take away driving lanes. They are STILL conceding outside shots. Kidd is nothing if not patient.

Just getting beat to every lose ball. Luka already gassed. Experience gap is showing.

Rebounds worry me more than the 3s going in.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.

He didn't call a timeout to stop a 23-5 run. He is going to watch game one just like he did in the first two rounds.

They are literally baking that into their system. They are conceding both corners. It’s too much to ask people to close out that fast against this team. Hence, why it is smart to play five out.

Celtics are giving up the floater/midrange jumper. But Luka isn't making good decisions.
