This year's NBA Finals was extremely disappointing for fans, who thought that the two sides would present a wonderful round of Finals matchups, at least to the sixth game. But now there is a sweeping trend, and it looks like the Mavericks have no power to fight back. The Celtics went all the way to a 3-0 lead.

Even many fans think that this year's finals are very exciting. There are also some fans who believe that even if the Timberwolves enter the Finals, they may not fall into a 3-0 situation. When it comes to the Celtics' performance in the Finals, we have to mention the 2022 NBA Finals. The Warriors were able to win the championship that year, which was indeed a surprise to many fans. Because at the time, the Celtics were considered to be the more likely side to win. Why did the Warriors win the championship that year? Compared to the current Mavericks, what is so special about the Warriors? Also, in the direct comparison of stars, is Doncic really inferior to Curry?

In fact, to explain this series of problems, we have to really understand the style of play of the Mavericks and the Warriors. The Celtics team that met the Warriors that year didn't have Holiday but they had Smart and Gwee. They are also a very strong defensive team. Why were the Warriors able to establish an advantage when they met the Celtics? It all came down to the fact that the Warriors were better defensively than the Mavericks.

Back then, the Warriors were a big defensive player at the forward line. For example, Wiggins, Payton Jr. and Green are all very tough defenders. But the Mavericks don't have a single outside defender on the Mavericks team right now who can match these three. That year, the Celtics struggled a lot. The Warriors frequently let the duo go to the weak side that they were not good at, which led to their frequent turnovers in the Finals that year, and the Warriors used their mistakes to score a lot of fast-break points.

In addition, the Warriors' style of play is more complex than that of the Mavericks. Such teams are more difficult to defend. So the Celtics will look physically and mentally exhausted when defending that Warriors team. Because Curry and Thompson continue to run without the ball, the Warriors continue to pass the ball, which can be said to be a state of national soldiers. At present, the Celtics will not have such worries when defending the Mavericks this year, they only need to defend key people, and only need to spend defensive energy on Doncic and Irving.

There is also the fact that when the Celtics faced the Warriors, they couldn't find a weakness to target. Curry wasn't a defensive weakness, and the strong Curry defended very well that year, which Doncic couldn't match. Doncic has become a key target for the Celtics this year. So whether it's on the offensive end or on the defensive end, this Mavericks team can't compare to the Warriors of that year. This is also the reason for the huge contrast between the two sides.
