#NBA EASTERN FINALS SERIES#
So grab your GameDay bottle before this series starts, because it could be over in a flash. It should be a completely different type of series than the one in the Eastern Conference. If he goes cold for a couple of games or even a couple of quarters this series could be over quickly.īoth the Warriors and the Mavericks are teams that can get hot in a hurry. However, beating the Warriors will take a herculean effort from Doncic. He got some help from Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Kleber, and Jalen Brunson along the way. Doncic was amazing in the series against the No. At the same time, if Curry or Thompson get hot shooting it might not matter who the Mavericks have on their side.įor the Mavericks to beat the Warriors they will need Doncic to continue to carry the team. Slowing down Doncic will be one of the keys for the Warriors to return to the NBA finals. It will be interesting to see who on the Warriors gets the assignment to guard Mavericks star guard Luka Doncic. They have a ton of scorers and are one of the most athletic teams in the NBA.
The Warriors know what they need to do to win this series against a talented Dallas Mavericks team. The trio of Curry, Thompson, and Green all have three rings apiece. This team is cruising at the right time and has a ton of championship experience. The Warriors won their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets 4-1 and finished off the Memphis Grizzlies last round 4-2. A healthy Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green sure do fix a lot. 4 Dallas MavericksĪfter missing the playoffs last year, the Warriors are back to being their old dominant self. *Game 7: Celtics Heat, Sunday, May 29, 8:30 p.m. *Game 6: Heat Celtics, Friday, May 27, 8:30 p.m. *Game 5: Celtics Heat, Wednesday, May 25, 8:30 p.m. Game 4: Heat Celtics, Monday, May 23, 8:30 p.m. Game 3: Heat Celtics, Saturday, May 21, 8:30 p.m. Game 2: Celtics Heat, Thursday, May 19, 8:30 p.m. Game 1: Celtics Heat, Tuesday, May 17, 8:30 p.m. It could come down to which star between Butler and Tatum decides to turn it on at the right time. In the end, expect this series to go at least six games, giving you the opportunity to test out at least six GameDay cocktails.The games are going to be chippy and filled with good defense. On the Celtics, Robert Williams III is injured but can’t be counted out–he missed some time in the series against the Bucks and is a big piece of what the Celtics want to do. This series is going to be a grind because of how talented each team is on defense. They even have Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart on their roster ready to guard Butler and Lowry.
The Heat have a top-5 defense but the Celtics are number one. Riding high, the Celtics will need to continue to be a dominant team. However, led by top scorers Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown the Celtics won games 6 and 7 to take the series. If Lowry were to miss time in the conference finals expect Butler to have to carry the team offensively.Īfter falling behind to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks 3-2 in the second round things were looking bleak for the Celtics. A question looming around the Heat is the health of Lowry, who has missed six of the last eight games the Heat have played. That could certainly help them as this series figures to be a dog fight. They do have some experience on their side in big series as this team made the NBA finals back in 2020 in the bubble. The knock-on on this team is their inability to score at times which will be tested against a very good Celtic defense. Led by Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Kyle Lowry the Heat are a top-5 defensive team and thrive on suffocating their opponents inside and out. It’s not a shock that the Heat are in this position after locking up the top seed in the East. The Heat punched their ticket to the conference finals by beating the Atlanta Hawks in the first round and then the Philadelphia 76ers in round two.
