No matter where luka go, he will always be hunt down on defense. Luka a half a player
new Kobe&Tmac or Bird&Mchale 🔥
Jaylen is the Real Man. Setting up the tone and Rescuing when Lakers made their run late in the game. Tatum is a Ball hog man.
JT: 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists.
JB: 31 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists.
Jays the best duo in the league. By far. Defense wins games.
C's on top!!! ☘️☘️☘️
brown is too physical and fast for number 77
Nobody defends Luka better than the Celtics back court. Especially JB
Legends
I wouldn't called a team (Celtics) who were up by 20 and got its lead erased down to 4 being outscored 16-5 in the 4th dominating. NBA channel just keep on piling on the bait titles. Really hate how the NBA operates.
When reality started setting in, reality found lebron and his slow pope running mate. They both jumped ship. Wait til the playoffs. Both lebron and Luka have an exit plan.
Tatum said it. The NBA is in a good place when the Lakers and Celtics are good! Classic rivals!! ❤
3:10 LeBalco's awareness be like…
Their real test is facing the loaded lakers in a 7 game series.
Celtics quickly put that new Lakers hype on pause 💀
Prayin’ LBJ and Luka recover quick, we got our asses beat but we’ll be fine
Tatum gave the Lakers 40 wearing the Jordan Finding Nemos, that's cold
I thought when Luka was traded for AD, lakers are so confident that they don’t need a center to be dominant, now Jaxson Hayes absence becomes so important
Nah JT is too tough, he is unplayable right now 😂🔥
The lakers are cooked
tatum > doncic & james
Celtics OWN Fluka DonShit!
“The Lakers are still better”- said the media
LeBron is washed
Always wonder, why don’t jaylen brown gets no foul call? Bro getting hacked all game and slow mo shows it.
Great duo ☘️
Parts of this game showed LeBron old and Luka slow and out of shape, Luka got Larry Bird back issues, 😂😂😂😂
My celtics are in good hands! JT + JB = 🏆
Big factor of white and holyday
With Luka constantly getting matchup hunted, Nico in the dark somewhere being like "See? This is why we traded him to begin with." 😂😂
I’m sorry, but Luka plays horrible basketball. He makes it look so lack luster
The ability of JB to balance his defense & offense clinched him the finals mvp.
Luka: celtics? Ok lets g-
Jaylen Brown: C’MERE BOY
Celtics are one of the few teams that runs whoever offence on Luka. I don't understand why other teams don't run it. Dude doesn't have a defensive bone in his body.
lakers can never.
Bro Tatum is easily the best two player in the nba and Jb is top 5 two way player in the league. Side note Tatum was 3/3 and the end of the first 3 quarters
1:47
The Jay's best duo in the league 💯
Let’s go ☘️ 19🏆!!!!!!!!
Nice match
Dang, JT's passing has evolved a ton
Brown is the best defender in the League ! Luka got locked up on Brown Island
2:43 no shit
