Jason Kidd pulled a dirty little trick before game 2 to divide the Celtics deadly duo.
If the egos got in the way for Tatum and Brown and they started shooting to show who’s better, instead of trying to win the game, that could be a problem for Boston, and an opportunity for Dallas.
Following game 1 blowout, the Mavs knew they had to come out aggressive from the start.
And despite looking like this just minutes before the game, Luka Doncic started cooking in the 1st quarter.
When you see him hopping on one leg and talking trash to the crowd in the first row, you know it’s going to be a rough night for the defense.
Doncic and Irving combined for 21 points in the first on 9 of 12 shooting, that’s brilliant efficiency.
And on the other end, Boston couldn’t hit anything from long range as they missed their first 8 3pt attempts.
But right away it was evident that Boston’s missed shots were good open looks off of the dribble penetration while Dallas, despite starting out blazing hot, their shots were all tough.
So right away you could get an idea for how this one was going to go.
And despite not being able to convert from downtown, the Celtics were assertive and attacked the paint. Porzingis continued to cause troubles for the Mavs defense in this one as well, as it looks like no one is even tall enough to contest his shots.
And when they weren’t getting buckets, they got fouls, and were a perfect 10/10 from the free throw line in the first period.
Talking about perfect, the Celtics played near perfect on the defensive end as well because..
And it was till the very end of the 1st quarter when Al Horford finally ended the drought from distance, making this a 3 point game.
And it was a similar story in the second, as Luka did everything he could to carry the Mavs and keep them in this game, both with his incredible shotmaking, and some magic on the assists as well.
But meanwhile, Kyrie was completely shut down. Just look at how tough all of these shots look.
The Celtics defenders were all up in his grill. Make or miss, Kyrie had to work hard to even get a shot off, and this was his only make on 5 attempts in the quarter.
Dallas’s buckets looked random and without a real plan or consistency.
But watch how easy things looked for Boston on the other end…
This is the Celtics way. Just a beautiful display of basketball. And it’s dead simple. Either penetrate and finish, or penetrate and kick out for an open three pointer.
There is a clear pattern here of the home team getting to the paint at will. The shot chart is a clear indicator of that. Look at this, everything is inside.
Dallas just could not contain the penetration so watch how easy and routinely it looks for Boston.
And this is just a perfect example of their offense.
Despite all of this, it’s only a 3 point game at half time and to be quite honest I have no idea how Dallas even stayed in the game and why this wasn’t a double digit lead for Boston.
As it turns out, I would get my answers soon because…
I don’t think I’ve seen Luka being in a position so desperate that he has to just throw this pass out without a real idea. Unbelievable.
And it was a familiar sight on offense as well, with Boston having their way and getting to the rim at will, but what’s funny is that despite getting a ton of open looks, Boston shot a horrific 3 for 15 from downtown in the third. They were a combined 6 for 30 in these 3 quarters. 6 for 30. This was Dallas’s best chance of winning, the Celtics will never shoot as badly as this.
And still, they had total control of the game led by their suffocating defense.
Then, to top things off, Payton Pritchard made the crowd explode…
It was obvious that the Mavs didn’t seem to have an answer for Boston, and they couldn’t even pass half court here watch this:
Wooow they really put Dallas in jail. Just an incredible defensive intensity.
And this looked like the final nail in the coffin for the Mavs.
A 14 point game with 3 and a half minutes to go in a game like this, has to be a done deal.
Only thing is, it wasn’t as Luka and company started to chip away at the deficit.
All of a sudden it’s only a 5 point game, if Dallas gets a stop, things could really escalate. And they did…
What a wild sequence. But this push in the back is a clear foul to me, this had to be called.
Maaan, this could have been a dramatic finish, but instead the Celtics seal the deal in a game that was not even supposed to be a single digit win.
I gave this one a 7.1 on rate game, the app where we rate and review each game.

This was the game Dallas NEEDED to win. Boston couldn't make a shot for love or money, and they finally caved in and started doubling Luka. But the Mavs couldn't make their threes, and even worse, couldn't make their free throws. They missed 8, and lost by 7.
i knew the free throws would haunt them
I said the same thing about Dallas needing to win Game 2. I just dont see the Celtics losing 4 of 5 to anyone let alone the Mavs
They didn’t start doubling him all the time either, only when he touched the paint. But they made sure to guard the corners because that’s where Dallas’s role players have their highest percentage shots. They forced Luka to pass the ball to the players in the wings which is a shot they don’t make consistently, unless they fall in rhythm. Boston could live with them hitting those shots, but not the easy ones. They also made sure they didn’t fall in rhythm to make those wing shots.
@@fyntc1796Yeah… When Luka missed his first two, I had a bad feeling.
Jason Kidd should call Derrick White their best player and see if that works
I mean, I guess it's funny. But wasn't Boston heavily favored with a team stacked with all-stars? Mavs were always the underdogs so kinda loses its sting to kick the dead horse.
@@tsubakichanI would agree with you except for damn near all of America outside of New England glazing on Mavericks’ jewels saying how the superstar backcourt was going to humiliate the Celtics, and making the Celtics look like the underdogs in almost every poll or betting numbers you see, I think it’s fair to gloat now.
@@ZhangK71 I don't know what brodie above you is even talking about, when the entire basketball world was glazing the Mavs and calling Luka & Kyrie "Best duo in the league" just a week ago.
Celtics were not rated, and I'm saying this as a Warriors fan. Online and in life most people picked the Mavs to win the finals
but he actually is.
lol
I see Heat Check notification, I click
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
Same here crodie😎💪🤪🔥
Heat about to run it back next year let's go
No projection there, losing 2 is demoralizing.
Game 1 was a beat-down by Boston. Game 2, the Mavs came out playing really hard, Luka was on fire, and the Celts couldn't hit a 3 to save their lives. So the Mavs were ahead and looking good. But as the game wore on, Boston's steady and constricting defense squeezed the life out of the Mavs, and once a few more of their own open shots fell, they caught up and pulled away. It wasn't luck. Boston is just better. Can the Mavs win a game against them? Sure they can. Can the Mavs win 4 out of the next 5 against Boston? No one can.
Dallas NEEDED to steal game 2 on the road. That momentum heading home is real. Now it takes two WINS to even tie the series up. Good luck, Dallas needed that to really have a shot IMO. Then winning game 3 at home to (potentially) go up 2-1...
@@Ironfangzu I actually don't know the stuff in the middle, but it's unlikely the mavericks can win.
@@Ironfangzu It seemed pretty close for Game 2
@MikeCheckVR I agree, they needed one since they don't have home court advantage
It's painful as a Celtics fan to watch all these brickfests in the playoffs. It's also crazy that despite all the concerns and the criticisms, we haven't lost in over a month and we haven't lost on the road in over two months. Like, even against mediocre teams that's pretty impressive.
If Nuggets or Wolves wouldn't have choked, this would have been a good matchup for them, but Dallas, got lucky
It's just a testament to their superiority. If I went to play one on one against Jalen Brown, he could be having his career worst day shooting, and at the end it would still be Brown 21, me 0. The difference between the Mavs and the Celts is not that extreme, but you can see the disparity. We have 7 to 8 guys who can put up 20+ points anytime. They have superstar Luka, and they have hot-and-cold Kyrie (who apparently can be shut down almost completely with great defense, which we have) and then they have 3-5 guys who are not really impressive in any way. They are just NBA jags, the kind you could pull off almost any other squad.
@mcmerry2846 ah, there it is again, the Celtics, somehow, had an easy matchup
@@mcmerry2846 idiotic take again that Mavs got lucky. If anything, Celtics got lucky lmao weakass East opponents without their star player
@chicofeliciano4752 so Mavs got didn't get lucky, but Boston is performing well against them. Sounds like Boston would've stormed through the East regardless
Besides the push from Jaylen Brown, Derrick White hits PJ's hand... This was totally unfair!
Everybody’s doing all this talking, but no one is pointing to coaching how there was no ball movement from Dallas, they didn’t run no actions for Kyrie to get him going and some easy looks instead relying on him to just iso all-game also not pushing the pace in transition instead of letting Boston set up on defense bad game plan for game two they are going to have to pick it up in game three
Cause Boston is always there in transition if you wstch the game
nah the thing with speeding up the pace is that it’ll give boston more possessions to score more 3’s.
@@ortsacerdi1423 This guy talks like the Mavs would score a lot of easy hoops if they pushed the ball in transition. But the Mavs have not been a fast break team all year. Luka is great in almost every way but he's slow. The Celtics have a lot of size but also a bunch of very superior athletes. When you fast break on the Celtics, a lot of those quick layups are actually blocked. The Celtics are much better equipped to play a run and guy style than the Mavs are,
Cause mavs are airballing wide open 3s after lukas pass, theres no point in ball moving if its all bricks in the end
@@ortsacerdi1423 bro, it’s easy to say that when you’re not pushing the pace in transition that’s why Indiana was so effective, even though they lost they were able to get easy shots that way
Anyone else noticed the game clock stops (@50.5 seconds to go) for about 2 seconds after the double block on Washington? lol NBA🤦
if Celtics playing a not efficient game means they win easy, then Mavs are finished
this channel has one of the best and insightful takes of the NBA on youtube, i am grateful i found your videos for some genuine opinions about the game (basketball)... keep it up!
Agrees
Boston lineup is just really nice. They have enough personel to guard the mavs best players without getting tired
That “push in the back” happens in 4/5 dunk plays and is never called. It would have been so silly to call it in the finals.
2nd chip for Jrue after getting shipped from the Bucks to Portland to Boston. Guy deserves it.
Jrue is really showing that championship pedigree. He's definitely playing like he's been in the finals before.
KP and JH is the perfect addition to Celtics team, they can make a sweep
Okay, even though he was trying to drum up drama, he's not wrong. Tatum has not been the best player
It’s a sign of weakness, having to resorting to mind games
@@immortalfit Considering the truth as a "mind game" is a sign of weakness
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x truth is 🧹🧹🧹
As it stands JB wins finals mvp. Tatum has played good but is ice cold shooting wise. Near triple double though, he’s been involved in a lot of buckets. Tatum is 1st team all NBA for a reason though.
@WHITEPERSUAS1ON - interesting if this was true then why is Kidd doubling JT or collapsing on his drives . Give him the same one on one looks like JB.
my dawg Pritchard practicing his half court all season for this ❤
“Celtics can’t win without threes”
Yes they are up 2 to 0
dallas hit less 3's
and shot at a worser effiecency
@@user-kd2xf7gi8jyes, which is expected because they are innately worse shooters ? Celtics on average are better. Good try
@@user-kd2xf7gi8jworser?
This Celtics team is lowkey an all time great team.
they were close to winning it like 2 times out of the last 3 years and both JB and Tatum are, resp. will soon be, supermax players, plus the unicorn healthy, experienced PG Jrue, what more could ask for. That being said, despite Luka and Kyrie, Boston is lucky not playing against the best team from the west in its best shape (Nuggets). There were some very close games Mavs had against the Wolves even though Wolves were incapable offensively. So the gentleman sweep agains the Wolves looked much easier on paper than it actually was.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so and I'm a Mavs fan. This team is solid.
They were only behind 96 bulls and 2017 Warriors in terms of net ratings. Yes, they are an all-time great team especially if they seal the deal
A team that they cannot afford right now actually so they only have this window to win it.
@@maxmeier532Wolves would be a bad matchup in finals. Boston could punish things Mavs did even harder.
Bos-Den was what we all wanted.
Mavs missing a Lauri Markkanen to make them complete.
Leave Lauri alone. They’ll just make him wait in the corner like they did to Porzingis
Mavs missing a shot creating guard to alleviate... oh w8 he played in garbage time. 😂 this lineup is playing into celtics hand. You need to play hardy. But kidd won't. So we will lose in 4 or 5.
Hardy can score 30 if given the chance. That's what you need. His passing is also underrated. It opens up the entire offense. But he would have to guard on D.
"Team would be better if team had extra perennial all star" 👨🎓👨🏫
Ha! Another defensive liability.
if someone told me celtics would only make 10 total 3s on 26% shooting in game 2, I woulda guaranteed a mavs win. This is kinda crazy mavs weren't able to clinch this game. They couldn't even take the lead in the 4th quarter. I swear a hobbled pacers team gave the celtics more trouble like wtf...
Man,great video. I want to tell you that i just heard that Steph and his dad are starting a podcast named... Heat check. Do with that what you will.
These videos are just so good.
0:42 luka started carrying
I'd hate to say it, but "Congratulations in advance, Boston".
Luka trying to make passes like he's Jason Kidd.
Luka is the definition of wearing your heart on your sleeve
Steph is making a podcast called Heat Check too, with his dad Dell Curry, wow
Boston exploited Doncic's lack of mobility on defense, simple as that
Tatum might not be the finals mvp but u idiots must see that he is clearly the best player on the cs, he’s getting double and trippel teamed every possession and is making the right play 95% percent of the time. He is opening so much space for his team and his 12 assists are not even close to the actual impact of him
Facts, him facilitating is making the Celtics look like the 14’ Spurs
@@user-yg7kb1mt9zthe mavs defensive game plan is shit but not much they can do against the most talented team in th league. I don’t blame tatum but I also don’t think he’s a top 5 player in the nba, but he’s doing what’s needed to win and that’s all that matters.
It's Brown give me a break
No need to lie about your player. Where did you see double teams on Tatum? Not once was double teamed.
This has to be a joke, Jrue outplayed him in the first quarter alone 😭 please stop with this Tatum push!! I would rather have brown Kp White even horford over Tatum right now 😭
That "new" move is called **Travel**.
Fluka is 0-8 Vs Jaylen brown that’s his son 4real 😂😂😂
Jayson Tatum was a good offensive asset if I'm honest , He's passes made the difference 💯💯💯💯
Kidd should be focused on breaking through Celtics’ defense instead of juvenile head games.
This a sweep. A gentleman at most. Sadly.
What the hell was that push on PJ Washington from the back in crunch time??
The league is being unfair to Tatum. Bro has been doing it all. Guard 1-4 sometimes 5 like against the Mavs. Rebounding, setting up teammates and scoring when he needs too. He’s done way more than Brown. Brown’s workload os not the same
that foul at the final minute by brown SHOULD have been called....
that block on kyrie by white was a foul. he was basically landing on him when he was still going up.
Alright, but give the due amount of praise to Jrue, man! He's being perfect whatever comes his way. Sure, the rest of the team gets a LOT of attention and he only needs to finish, but he's not supposed to be a regular finisher and yet he's been perfect all the time! He's proving to be a winner no matter what.
Kyrie was unusually quiet for firsdlr kkkmm 2 games.
Thankfully the Celtics managed to curb the addiction momentarily to relentlessly shoot three-point shots and decided to shoot in or near the paint. As usual, a stingy strong defensive effort helped tremendously as well.
You didn't mention that Tatum is shooting a horrible percentage. That's why it was close.
Everyone is complaining about the foul that should have been called on Brown when 10 seconds earlier there was a foul that should have been called putting Tatum on the line so 2 wrongs don’t make a right but if you miss a call then both should have been called
Beautiful breakdown! Thanks for staying up and summarizing the games for us, Europeans 😅
ShoutOut the FIRST HEAT CHECK!! Ima need Steph Curr and his dad to change the name of their new Podcast
ye its joever for us Mavbros
Triple teamed
Pass the Rock !
4:52
He looks @ Brown coming
Honestly this might be a sweep
boston doesn't want to end it in dallas.
yeah that was the turning point when they double and tripled Luka and mavs couldn't adapt fast enough to the change. But I feel like they did a better job keeping it close this time. Hopefully, mavs will learn from this and win the next 2 games at homecourt. I will say there is very little hope if they can't win next game.
The fact that people really think PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS would actually let an opposing coach divide them is so far beyond stupid
Steph curry and his dad new podcast is heat check
8:14 looks like he's been studying Luka a lot. Most of the league has, especially with his dribble, stop, have the defending on your back, pull up and shoot.
You the first person I’ve seen include Lukas turnovers thank you showing the whole team played bad in one way or another
You gotta admit this is the best celtics team since 08' and it worries me that another game or 2 luka will not be playing a game or two and the haters will say another excuse
You're right about Brown he's bad but you're also right about that call the push in the back non-call anyway
Stifling defence
bring out the brooms..a sweep is coming, Great run by the mavs, but they are just outmatched. Congratulations Celtics..
Jrue Holiday is Him!
@Heat Check - how do you feel about Stephen Curry and Dell Curry having the same name for their podcast as your channel?
That Derrick White "block" was a clear foul, he didnt even touch the ball, it was all hand...
I always forget that its technically a foul if you make contact with the shooter's hand but in game it looked clean on White not Jaylen though
@@HopsinThaGoatContesting a dunk, touching a hand is considered part of the ball, not a foul.
@@njmksr8686 I’m confused now I looked at the rule and it doesn’t really get called every time
Just as good as Luka has been offensively, he’s been just as bad defensively.
Luka is averaging 3 steals and has best defensive rating on Mavs team
Esp in game 2. Luka has been to battle and the fatigue on his body is showing like a bullseye. There’s a clear plan to save his energy for offense and you simply won’t beat Boston with one dude sitting backcourt watching the team play D
@@marek2934 defensive rating don't mean sht. Eye test is better, he gets blown by most of the time by Brown, he is a cone on defense
Jrue Holiday really sealed the fate of this game. Dallas offensively has performed better but if only Luka shines, the Mavs will be swept be the Celtics' consistency. Kyrie has to step up now.
Curry gonna make a podcast
Lets see if Dallas can make it around the defense and hit some open shots...
refs should start calling fouls on those block attempts. it's clean upstairs but there's always a hand on the body.
can't believe we waited this long to see a sweep Minnesota should've been a better matchup for Celtics
Poor Luka😪
if celtics won i hope next year will be more defensive games
Funny how a new sneaky move in NBA is a clear travel lol 8:11 - in basketball rules you can't lift your pivot leg like that lol... I wish NBA would follow basketball rules, it would be watchable.
Here’s the problem the Mavs overpaid for a guy who for some reason isn’t playing where is Hardaway JR he needs to play and show up.
the refs are a bit off to be honest, so many missed calls
That’s every game, right?
@@phxmiller yeah its every game but its so hard to watch games with refs that are so one sided.
@@reubenjosephfabianlol stop it. The Celtics were THE best team at not giving up freethrows. And the Mavs shot more of them. This is the finals, man…it gets much more physical in the playoffs(and especially in the finals)
@@reubenjosephfabianrefs have been fine . This is the finals, it’s still a men’s league and it’s the finals this is how it’s always called. Mavs have shot more FTs in the series there are no excuses.
You've got to be kidding me, the Mavericks shot more free throws and were only 65% from the stripe, they only have themselves to blame for that. If they had hit all their FT's they would have won by 1 point. Boston is not going to fall for Luka's foul baiting, they play team defense... and they are never going to miss that many open shots again in the series.
Tryna discuss who the best it’s no debatum, I’m bout to pass on kyrie I’m Jason Taytum
Luka looks like the disabled fish on life support buying chocolate in spongebob
Luka CantShoot
To me that hand on the back is definitely a foul too. But I'm sure there's tons of people who disagree. Oh well
🇵🇭 fan here
Boston Celtics are in a manhunt and I feel sorry for Dallas
This one's for JFK
Luka real name should be James Harden! I seen so many missed step back 3's and a whole bunch of dancing. Unbelievable!!
"I have no idea how dallas stayed in the game, and why this isn't a double digit lead for Boston, I would get my answer soon because.." *shows plays of Luka commiting turnovers* huh?? Thats what happens when you're trying to be extra with your editing. Do better kid
Its the finals but the defense still has the feel of a pick up game. Weird!
Wat finals you watching
Here comes a crucial game 3 for the Mavs. I'm a Mavs fan and already seen how Luka and Kai came back from 2-0 in a playoff series. BUT if it goes 3-0, congratulations to the Celtics.

There wining I'm 4
I do✨💥🎉
If Dallas’s superstars Luka and Kyrie(especially him) start “cooking” it will be 2:2 🔥
Game 1: 3 point shooting
Game 2: Dribble penetration
Facts 💯
Games 1 & 2: Boston's constant suffocating defense: Taking away the open 3's, taking away the dribble drive, taking away the lob pass for dunks. If Boston maintains its focus and plays this type of defense for 2 more games, it's Duck Boat time.
I feel like this series it’s over already I called Dallas in 6 but I don’t think it’s possible. This Bostons team too deep. This series was over for either team if any of those team went up 2 games to nothing 😢
I don't see anything demoralizing in this series. The only demoralizing thing I know is Curry's long distance bombs.😂
I dont see any other player but Tatum getting double-teamed. Give Tatum that 1v1 and he'll singlehandedly destroy the Mavs
Why is Luka shooting his free throws flat as a pancake? There's no margin of error. Give it a little arch at least.
For the Mav's to even have a chance of winning, Kyrie is gonna have to score and the role players as well. Even then it's gonna be a tall order. There's no ball movement from Dallas. It was pretty dismal to watch.
Celtic's are playing an amazing defense. They have great ball movement. Everyone on the team is scoring. Tatum's struggling to score, still makes great plays and facilitates. Really nice seeing Holiday having such a good game.
Right now it looks like a clean sweep. I'd call it Celtic's in 5.
Not only did brown push him white hit his hand then the ball 2 fouls
2:48 obviously the difference between 26 and 25 is 3 points
Brown what a cheat - 100% a foul
That push in the back by brown if definitely a foul at 98-103 with 50 seconds left, he makes both its 100-103, and they dont have to foul use the shot clock, Not saying mavericks would have won but that was definitely a missed call that needed to be called
Thing is I see absolutely no force actually being imparted there, his hand looks like it's just sitting there basicallg
Horford foul on Doncic was not a foul, also, Celtics scoring those missed open triples would have meant Celtics up by no less than 15 in the last minute.
BOSTON IN 5
True. Kidd should have challenged that but the player that got fouled should of said something too
@@kdawg6887 they didn’t have a challenge he challenged in the first quarter and it failed to over turn
Celtics in 4 or 5
Luka can score, but when he can't what else does he have? He's horrible on defense!!!!
Luka is averaging 3 steals and has best defensive rating on Mavs team
@@marek2934man stop the bullshit! You saw how many times they've blown by him like he was tied to a post, he's slow on his feet and can't play off the ball.
Why did doncic have to throw the ball like that when he was in the backcourt?
Doesn't post on weekends unless the Mavs lose lol!
Excuses again with the refs give the defense a break Boston win this with defense
MAVS Dont be demoralized. Its not the end… Keep ur hopes up and stay poised to avoid turnovers.
That's a good mental attitude. But it's hard to overcome a serious disparity in team talent. The Mavs have only Luka who is a dependable contributor, and Kyrie, who has been shut dow in this series. The rest of the team has done nothing. Compare that to the Celtics. They all play elite defense. They all score. They move the ball. They are better shooters. It's important for the Mavs not to give up. But, if you watch the games objectively, you will see the disparity in talent.
We aren't going to talk about how ugly Luka's turnovers were and then he didn't make an effort to return on defense?
