Celtics in 5 was an awful prediction.

Onepocketj · 06-12-2024, 09:56 PM

Celtics escaped because of some questionable calls. Oh well

pingbling23 · 06-12-2024, 09:56 PM

props to the mavs for making it a game. it could have got ugly but the fourth turned out to be entertaining.

JohnnyHatesJazz · 06-12-2024, 09:57 PM

Just a good ole tease job.

That's why we are the MEAN Green Machine.

I would never understand how teams can look great for like 30 minutes straight and then forget how to play for the next 10 minutes.

Fenway55 · 06-12-2024, 09:59 PM

It sure is a good thing no one is afraid of the Celtics, otherwise Miami, Cleveland, Indiana and Dallas might be in real trouble....

SaveMeTheGum · 06-12-2024, 09:59 PM

The sweep is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bosoxfan5990 · 06-12-2024, 10:00 PM

Back to the kiddie table for Dallas! Night night!

no joke, it was like a 22-2 run over an 8 minute stretch. celtics are weird but they are gonna be champions this year.

2010GBPackers · 06-12-2024, 10:01 PM

As an MKE fan, super happy to see Jrue one win away from another championship. He's a guy you hope your son grows up to be. Cheers!

ninjacookies · 06-12-2024, 10:01 PM

Under + Boston spread. /greencheckmark

Got murked on props tho.

tjforce · 06-12-2024, 10:01 PM

Just the dagger it's what's been one of the least competitive NBA seasons i can recall.

We can put the Luka-MVP in a loss talk to bed.

pingbling23 · 06-12-2024, 10:01 PM

i think brown took a pretty big lead in the fmvp chase.

Their defense is that great. I can't think of a team scoring 2 points in 8 minutes in a Finals and still win.

Yep and it will be great validation for the contract he got. He's really taken his game to another level this year.

yiguiri2002 · 06-12-2024, 10:05 PM

I think Kidd might be at least partially responsible for the loss

Luka got fouled out of Game 3 of the NBA finals with a bang bang play (offensive foul) with 4:28 left in the fourth down 3. After whistles were silent most of the game. Grats on the chip!

true, i was one that was really surprised with how much boston gave him but when it leads to a title and hes been the mvp through the playoffs its worth it.

dani0100 · 06-12-2024, 10:05 PM

Did Lukas just drop 50% in value?

I still think we should let them win on purpose next game.

Win it for JFK and Bill Walton at home.

bgoldin · 06-12-2024, 10:06 PM

Both have been so important to them winning that they probably should be Co-MVPS, but I don't know if that's possible.

I hope that's the case, but don't trust the 11 media members to make that decision for some reason
