Since forming the Super Four, the Celtics have been considered the favourites to win the championship since the start of the season, and they have not disappointed, the team has a 64-win record during the regular season, the team has a record of 64 wins in the league, and the team reached the Finals with a big score of 12-2 in the playoffs, and it is fair to say that if the team did not slack off twice, they may only need 12 games to reach the Finals.

Previously, the American media data website predicted the probability of winning the finals, and the probability of the Celtics winning the championship was as high as 91%, what is this concept? In other words, the championship is nine out of ten, and according to the American media, Porzingis will return in the first game of the series, and the Celtics will usher in a complete body at that time, in this case, the pressure on the Mavericks is obviously greater, but the charm of competitive sports lies in uncertainty, no one dares to say that they can win the championship, and there are many four-core teams in history who finally failed to win the championship.

Like the more familiar 04 Lakers, when the Lakers had the peak Kobe, or the league's first center O'Neal, and the last years of Malone and Payton, although the two did not have the peak, but also had a level close to the peak, they entered the playoffs, but in the end failed to win the championship, the reason for the team's defeat was the aging of the core, in addition to the team's locker room conflict, Kobe and O'Neal because of the ball had a quarrel, and then Malone teased Vanessa, which caused Kobe to be dissatisfied.

In addition, it is the 10-year Celtics, this year's Celtics squad strength is better than this season, but they still lost, do you remember this year's Celtics lineup? Let's talk about the fact that the Celtics also had a Big Four at the time, and the team was led by Rondo, Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen, and they had a 50-42 record in the regular season and fourth in the East.

At that time, Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce were still at the tail of their peak, and their abilities were still very good, but because they focused on team basketball, their statistics were not particularly eye-catching during the regular season, but in the playoffs they began to exert their strength. Pierce averaged 18.8 points, 6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in the playoffs, although this score is much worse than in the current era, but the 10s can be said to be the strongest defensive year in the 21st century, averaging only 90 points per game for the Lakers and 87 points for the Green Army in the Finals.

Among the 87 points, he scored 18.8 points, accounting for 21.6%, so do you think Pierce scored enough? Take Tatum this season as an example, the team averaged 114 points per game in the playoffs, Tatum averaged 26 points per game, and the scoring percentage was about the same as Pierce at 22%. At that time, Pierce still had the strength of the FMVP level better than the current Tatum, and their second-in-command Garnett also looked several grades better than Brown, and Garnett was the winner of DPOY+MVP.

This year, Garnett averaged 15 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.9 blocks per game in the playoffs. In addition, Rondo is the team's starting point guard, his playmaking skills are better than the current Holiday and his defense is not inferior to Holiday Rondo, who averaged 15.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the playoffs.

The team's super shooter is Ray Allen, a historic shooter, his spatial ability and three-point shooting ability are much stronger than Porzingis, Ray Allen averaged 16.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game in the playoffs this year, in that era when the defense was so iron-blooded, Ray Allen's three-point shooting rate was 38%, which is indeed too good. In the 10 playoffs, the Celtics averaged 93.9 points per game in the playoffs, and the Big Four combined 65.7 points per game, accounting for 69.9% of the team's total points.

This season, the Celtics' Big Four averaged 76 points per game, accounting for 68.2% of the team, which is not as good as the original three-core, and in terms of blue-collar configuration, the 10-year-old Celtics also look better, they have Rasheed Wallace on the bench, the former All-Star insider, a bit like the current Horford. They don't have a top-tier scoring wing like White, but they have a wing called Tony Allen, what is the concept of that? He has a name called Kobe Bryant Terminator, and you know how powerful it is when you hear the name.

And it was the era of traditional basketball, the Celtics had two excellent interior meat shields of Perkins and Glen Davis, and Nate Robinson, a small potato whose scoring ability was not much better than Pritchard's, and the Celtics at that time had a better roster than this season, but they still lost to Kobe's Lakers. Hopefully, the Green Army will be able to fire at full speed this season, and at the same time, I hope the Mavericks can play very competitively.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these two teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
