The Celtics can't stop Doncic. Does it matter? And three more burning Finals questions
Mike Shearer,
Not many recent superstars have walked as arduous a playoff path as Doncic: Oklahoma City was the league’s fourth-best defense, Minnesota was the best, and Boston was the second-best (and we’re not including the Clippers, who were no joke defensively, either). That’s a murderer’s row, yet Doncic roasted the first two teams over an open fire like so many holiday chestnuts. Boston has to avoid the same fate if they want to win.
