Chuddy's Corner Chuddy's Corner

The NBA Finals are here (well…almost) and the Boston Celtics are taking on the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will come to town for a battle of superstars as they go up against Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, each seeking their first championship. This matchup is littered with narratives, talking points, and storylines, but it’s also an excellent matchup that should deliver some really good basketball.

Chuddy and Doug break down the series with a full preview and predictions.

The Boston Celtics are back in the NBA Finals after sweeping the Pacers with a 105-102 Game 4 victory to finish off the Eastern Conference Finals. Jaylen Brown wins ECF MVP, Tatum puts up another ho-hum 26/13/8, Derrick hits the game-winner, and Al & Jrue come through in big ways. It was an all-around team effort and another clutch comeback win. The Celtics finished the game on a 15-4 run and a 7-0 run as they didn’t allow Indiana to score over the final 3:32. Next up: the NBA Finals. 4 more wins to Banner 18.

The Celtics rally on the road to erase an 18-point deficit and pull out a huge Game 3 victory down the stretch to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals over the Pacers. Jayson Tatum got the jump shot going and the rest of his game followed, Al Horford swam in the fountain of youth, Jrue Holiday made every big play down the stretch, and Jaylen Brown was rock solid. The Celtics are now just one win away from reaching the NBA Finals and they’ll have a chance to close out the series on Monday night.

The Celtics avoid the Game 2 blues and beatdown the Pacers 126-110 to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jaylen Brown dominated the game with his second career ECF 40 burger and Jayson Tatum and Derrick White came on in the second half to help close things out. The Celtics finally went small and it paid major dividends immediately. Pascal Siakam did his best to keep Indiana in the game, but it wasn’t enough as Tyrese Haliburton left late with a hamstring injury. The series now heads to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Saturday night.

The Celtics give everyone a heart attack but steal a game 1 victory over the Pacers behind a miraculous last second comeback. They went on to win in overtime 133-128 and lead the Eastern Conference Finals. Jaylen Brown had a clutch steal and 3 to force overtime and Jayston Tatum dominated the overtime period with 10 huge points. Jrue Holiday also came up huge with one of his best games in a Celtics uniform.

The Celtics finally have an opponent for the Eastern Conference Finals: the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers beat the Knicks in 7 games and they’ll travel to Boston for game 1 of the ECF on Tuesday night. The Celtics are heavily favored but the Pacers have a potent offense, pesky defenders, and a deep bench. They’re led by do-it-all point guard Tyrese Haliburton and All-NBA forward Pascal Siakam who was acquired at the trade deadline. 

Chuddy and Doug preview the Eastern Conference Finals and take a look around the NBA.
