Game one of the NBA finals between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Maverick tips off at the TD Gardens in Boston, today.
Broadcast assistant for the Toronto Raptors, Mike roach say both teams will be focus on locking up a championship for the first time in over a decade.
The Mavericks’ last title came in 2011, while Boston hasn’t gone all the way since 2008.
Roach says both team will come out fighting.
Dallas guard Kyrie Irving will be going up against his former team.
Irving spent two seasons in Boston and told fans that he planned on re-signing with the Celtics following the 2018-19 campaign.
However, that didn’t happen.
Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets once the summer rolled around.
He has been met with boos when playing in Boston ever since while posting an 0-10 record overall in his past 10 games against the Celtics.
Roach says a hostile environment is the last thing Irving is worried about on the NBA’s biggest stage.
