Boston should win in 6. They also should have beaten GS 2 seasons ago and Miami last season.
Now they've stacked their team to win. A loss from here would be really bad for them. And I hope it happens.
I'd at least like to see this go 7. Then we'll find out who's soft.
Dallas has the best player and better coach.
Boston has the overall better squad.

I am a C's fan and I partially agree on Tatum/Brown. I don't think Tatum is soft but I do think he settles for way too many pull up 3s and long 2s and he's not an elite shooter by any stretch. It is frustrating because with his body he could be doing what Lebron has been doing for the past 10 years and doing it as sucesffully. When he decides he's going to the basket nobody can stop him without fouling him. And that's the same discussion I've been hearing in Celtic fan circles for a few years. And I admit I have said trade him after the past two seasons. I do think Brown is the alpha on the team. But on the other hand Tatum is 5th all time in play off games with at least 30/10/5 behind only Lebron, Bird, Giannas and Jokic. He does a lot on the court to help his team win besides shooting 3s or scoring. There are only 3-5 teams with a guy on the level of Luka but Tatum is on the next tier and the C's have a deeper roster then the Mavs. This C's team is much better then any team in the Tatum/Brown era with the possible exception of 2017-18 where I think they would have won the title if they had Kyrie and Hayward in the playoffs.
