For Dallas, they seek their second title overall, and for their 25-year-old ultrastar, the crowning as the undeniable force of the sport.These two franchises will face off for the right to call themselves World Champions starting Wednesday night. For Boston, a Finals win would be their historic and league-best eighteenth championship. For Dallas, they seek their second title overall, and for their 25-year-old ultrastar, the crowning as the undeniable force of the sport.
Luka Doncic is shooting a God-like 65.2% from 17' to the 3pt line. For context, Khris Middleton led the NBA in the regular season from this range at 58.8%After a false start in the half season that Irving spent with Doncic after being traded to the Mavericks last spring, the superstar duo has clicked and now Dallas has only lost five of 17 games through three series on their way to the Finals, as they knocked off the No. 4, No. 1, and No.
Much will be made of the battle between the two star duos, but while the Celtics only had two All-Stars on their roster this season, the depth of their starting lineup is truly the class of the league. Defending Doncic and Irving will be guards Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, who were both named to the All-Defensive 2nd team.
Tatum – Boston’s unquestioned star and leader – joined Doncic on the All-NBA First team and was in the conversation for league MVP as well. The Irving to Luka’s Tatum is Jaylen Brown, Boston’s superstar wingman who could sneak up on people if too much of the focus falls on Tatum. After all, Brown is fresh off being named the Eastern Conference Finals MVP after averaging nearly 30 points in the Boston sweep over Rick Carlisle’s Indianapolis Pacers.
The Mavericks are expected to turn to defensive anchors P.J Washington and Derrick Jones Jr. to spearhead their efforts against Tatum and Brown. While not the national household names like their counterparts, Washington and Jones have been seen giving fits to stars like Paul George, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Anthony Edwards during this playoff run. Gafford and Lively are again tasked with being the two-headed monster patrolling the paint.
