GAME 5 NBA FINALS: DALLAS MAVERICKS (1-4) vs BOSTON CELTICS (4-1)

I respect this but disagree. I think that the Celtics talent is more mature and ready for this moment. I don't think the Mavs chocked. I think that through time, suffering, maturity (personal) and maturity of skills the Celtics were absolutely the better team this time around.

Yeah, not only did they take their lumps as contenders for the last couple seasons, but then they added Jrue and KP.  Rarely does a young team go from Lottery to championship.  Its kind of crazy that this is the second team in the last 4 years to be contenders for a couple of years and then trade for Jrue to put them over the top.  I think the Bucks made a huge mistake letting him go.
