Half the internet went from "The Celtics didn't play anybody, Mavs in 6" to "The Celtics have too many weapons, it isn't even fair" faster than I've ever seen.

Boston team is way too stacked it ain't even fair, their entire starting 5 with Jrue, White, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis can all get you 25 on any given night while playing good defense. The fact Bostons best player in Tatum had 16 points and they still win by 20 is crazy. While for the Mavs if Luka and Kyrie don't go crazy every game they don't have a chance. Dallas supporting cast ain't even close to what Boston has.

Wow LBJ giving some street cred to Pritchard.

[jasonsantos]

Simply an excellently built roster. 5 players who, on a good night, can all do up to 25 points. 4 all stars and 1 player who performs at an all star level. With good team chemistry.

There's no other team right now where their 1st option can comfortably defer and become the 3rd or 4th best player on the team and still win. Jayson Tatum can end up as the 3rd or 4th best player in the court in a game and still end up winning. That's how much talent that team has.

The best part of this team is that everyone always said “porzingus is always injured and he’s not the answer to what they need” they shipped smart out (fan favorite loved him) and got Jrue in return they kept a good defensive back court and got a big that can stretch the floor and it’s the perfect antidote for what they’ve been missing the last couple years

This is the best basketball podcast channel ever. No arguments, debates, and shenanigans. Maybe not the most entertaining, but certainly the most insightful and educational with regards to team play. Thanks Lebron and JJ!

[lukelinnellmusic]

This podcast makes me think back to when Mark Cuban called out Skip Bayless, this podcast is the exact antidote to the evocative nonsense that non-analysts spout on ESPN all day.

[njg]

this is a masterclass, Lebron know what he talking about

[PeaceFan]

Porzingus was a BEAST Last Night..The Celtics have WAY too Many Weapons!!!

[NirajKhadka-lvjj]

If they can't stop porzingis, the series is over for Dallas.

This whole podcast was just a job interview😭

[GRyPer]

My first time checking out this podcast. These guys break it down better than anyone on ESPN.

[postboygokuu]

What’s funny is Jrue came into the league as an iso pg. He use to break ankles but has simplified his game and mastered using his size. Goes to show it’s not all about “the bag”

[chakm]

Too bad there won’t be anymore podcast from Bron and JJ

[jamaldee]

Thank goodness we don’t have to face lebron anymore lol he always crushes my dreams as a Celtic fan but respect to him

[floydweller]

The more i hear about celtics coach tactics it reminds me so much of Pep for those who watch EPL

[Alex-ylmr]

Well let's see if this is the last episode 💀

[iyadel-hout]

Really clever analysis and breakdown that essentially boils down to "difficult to guard when all 5 players are really good!"

[jonthesinner]

that first half stretch by porzingis will be what prime wemby look like

[gottabedaryl]

JJ is so dedicated to podcasting he's in a lot of pods
