We talk about Luka and Kyrie stepping up....

This half is Tatum's chance to have a signature game on the biggest stage.

2010GBPackers · 06-12-2024, 08:57 PM

Luka absolutely lost on D.

pingbling23 · 06-12-2024, 08:57 PM

"luka just gets lost defensively" dang Doris just sit him out like that

HeyRelaxGuy · 06-12-2024, 08:58 PM

Luka got rid of those pink flamingo shoes he had on in the 1st half. Man, these guys have thousands of PEs!!!

pingbling23 · 06-12-2024, 08:58 PM

been a much better game tonight though. i like to see a good back and forth.

HunterConnorMom · 06-12-2024, 08:59 PM

Minimal ball movement again only 8 assists compared to 16 assists for Celtics. Doesn’t look good unless they start moving the ball.

As we've seen this series, that's unsustainable once 4th Q legs get tired. Who will step up for the Mavs? Washington and Jones Jr. have 2 points combined. Not enough. Too much usage out of Luka and Kyrie. It's a recipe for disaster to carry that much of a load. It's also impossible to sustain. Could they win tonight with that type of output? Sure. But it's not a series-winning plan.

Agreed. I am not sure how only two guys can defeat the whole Celtics team.

pingbling23 · 06-12-2024, 09:01 PM

the ole step on someones foot and its somehow a foul on the defender. worse call in the nba today.

Luka getting exposed on defense big time…and Im a Luka fan.0

ninjacookies · 06-12-2024, 09:03 PM

Break out the brooms.

rms13 · 06-12-2024, 09:07 PM

Luka is paying the price for every point he scores

2010GBPackers · 06-12-2024, 09:08 PM

Luka's legs getting tired. Kyrie still cooking but needs someone, anyone to get involved. Problem is, it's tough to when two players have been going one-on-one all game.

ninjacookies · 06-12-2024, 09:13 PM

When Tillman's knocking down treys, you know it's time to close up shop.

blackbears86 · 06-12-2024, 09:13 PM

celtics scrubs increasing the lead

rms13 · 06-12-2024, 09:13 PM

Tillman doing a nice Porzingis impression

drobfan8 · 06-12-2024, 09:15 PM

Oh man.

Kidd giving THJ a chance is desperate times.

Onepocketj · 06-12-2024, 09:15 PM

Mavs are putting up some really bad shots this quarter

JohnnyHatesJazz · 06-12-2024, 09:16 PM

We got the enemy running for the hills!

Chase, pursue and FINISH THEM!

100%.
Big Luka fan here as well.
The complaining had gotten better the 2nd half of this season.
If I was watching Luka for the 1st time this series, I would not be a fan. He is whining constantly and most aren't even close to fouls.
Long story short Mavs are outmatched. Luka and Kyrie have to be great (haven't been) and the guys that have been huge during their run (Lively, Gafford, PJ) have looked like G league players. I think a lot has to do with the Celtics. This roster is fun to watch.
Mavs are scratching for every point, Celtics are getting multiple easy looks. Over 4 quarters that shows.

big 3rd quarter for brown. that drive and dunk....

ninjacookies · 06-12-2024, 09:18 PM

Celts have been the best team in the league all year. Best defense...upper tier offense. This is all fitting.

Their only issue was playing down to their competition and being lackadaisical. They shored that up this series.

yiguiri2002 · 06-12-2024, 09:18 PM

Dallas is done. Great plan by Boston, the Mavs offense is in shambles.
