How did Luka get this team to the Finals? This is shocking. They don't even look like they know what they are doing out there

Luka with a light 20.

I said this Celtics team are very ordinary when their 3 is not falling

Mavericks have to remain focused on defense. Giving them some easy ones

Tatum and Brown having a disaster class and they are only down 3.

donlittle25:
we can’t keep making mistakes we will pay for against this celtics team. i don’t see the importance of kleiber if he can’t knock down wide open threes and his boxing out is non existent.

They've missed 5 free throws in a quarter. Absurd

donlittle25:
just gave up a stupid foul

And missed another wide open 3

They keep missing free throws.
.
Why is Kleber still playing?

These guys are not serious at all

donlittle25:
bro tf kleber. just changed dynamics of the game

Short 1 on the court. I'm so confused to why he's playing

This is home cooking. That was not a foul on PJ

And Kleber if you can't hit open 3s I don't see your use on the court

Calm down Luka. Mavs have to rebound better. Celtics 3ball not working today but you have to limit them to one shot

Nice start Mavs. The 3s are falling.

Another suggestion since Luka does look a bit hobbled. Control the tempo. Slow the game down like how LeNomad used to do for the Cavs that year. You want as many half court offensive possessions for the Celts as possible

Roland17:
Na wetin I Dey tell you. In his defense though he had all 6 shots saved by Bobrobsky who was impossible on the night. The line McDavid leads needs to get more aggressive, they are slapping the puck hard enough. Like I said before the series the series started, I just worry the Panthers may be too much for them, especially physically.

They missed a lot of breakaway shots it was almost comical. But yeah Bobrovsky stood on his head

Mavs hit your 3s and be the aggressors. I saw like 5 dunks or so after rewatching. You can't allow that to a team already killing you with the 3pt spamming

Kyrie I know wants to talk about growth and be in that Zen mode and peace state but bro that will not get the job done on these guys. You have to look for that hate, that rage and embrace it. I strongly doubt the Mavs lose if you go for 39 like Game 1 of the 2022 playoffs

Conor McDavid in complete ghost mode. Didn't see him on the ice yesterday

Verstappen showing his class. Do not let anyone deceive you to suggesting he has the best car out there. He doesn't

BlueRayDick:
The bold is also my concern. I hope they are only arguing for argument sake on Nairaland and not actually thinking a lawyer has magical powers to sweet talk a judge into agreeing that shooting ,knifing or planking someone who fought u with bare hands is self defense .

One can only hope they're playing devil's advocate sha. And that's not what they really believe

Spy360:
1. Pull a gun- warning
2. One shot- self defense
3. Multiple shots- murder/manslaughter

Johnny Cochrane couldn't get that man out of jail time

raumdeuter:
Loaded his gun and was prepared in case there is an escalation. Just the same way you will load your gun when going into an uncertain and likely volatile situation. e.g you hear noise at your door at night, you load your gun. If its a friend you smile laugh and move on, if its a robber then Ina lilahi..

When the trigger is squeezed in panic, he can release, its not like he had to go reload like in a shotgun

That guy cannot escape prison if it's based on that video I saw sha.

The only hope he would have is if the other guy is armed and even at that he rang like 6-7 more shots

Do you know how many people would die everyday if that was the default response to a punch thrown.

GloriousGbola:
my son is currently at blue belt i think. i have told him that no matter how he is provoked, he must avoid violence because he is likely more capable of harm than the person pissing him off and more likely to be blamed if someone is hurt, especially if there are no videos of the ENTIRE sequence of events

Personally I believe only stupid people still fight in 2024. If you can't monetize your fighting like them Jake Paul then it's not actually worth it.

If person wan fight me now I'd literally tell him to calm down and let's think of how we can monetize this fight cos I don't fight for free

Ibime:
Only weak niggas use gun to respond to fists flying. Anybody of that mindset is a murderer.

If you can't bang fists, you can run. Running is also self protection.

Too many cowardly niggas out there. Too lazy to learn to scrap.

Right from childhood we always knew the weakest niggas were the ones that ran to grab a weapon in fights

Unless you're getting jumped by several people then all bets are off.

BlueRayDick:
The bold is what I’ve been talking about. The force the man applied in retaliation is proportionate to what his deceased friend used in attacking him.

Go and read the two cases I posted up there again.

If someone go as far as applied a machete on u infliction serious injury , u are within the ambit of the law to use equal force to defend urself. If he dies in the process u can plead self defence and it will work out fine .

But and someone engaging in a fist fight and u break his head with plank or stabbed him to death ? U will go to jail( No way out ).

The notion that u can use any means to defend urself without limits is wrong . Anybody that has that mindset will regret finding out the hard way when matter sup later .

They will chop minimum of manslaughter which is like 6 years.

Thinking they can reply slap with gun and not go to jail is naive.

I hope this is not how they view these things in real life sha.

benji93:
I agree boss, and even more so, the reason i brought that up is that na because of people like this man person fit tell me say Stephen Curry no be generational talent, and neither is MJ. Na Yoruba people talk say 'A kì í fini joyè àwòdì ká má lè gbádìẹ'. We no fit give person the title 'hawk' make he no fit carry chicks. It doesn't make sense. If you are such a generational talent you better not have any more of those type of games. It 's not profitable to be unable to quantify generational talent outside your guts.

They have turned generational talent to one abstract thing as if we don't have eyes

Imagine using what you were projected to be in your youth as a gauge for generational talent. That means Freddy Adu and Stanley Okoro suppose be generational talent

Even players that turn out busts we can also judge them as generational talent

Lol you people are over analyzing and over thinking this very simple thing.

Celtics took 42 3s and made 16
Mavericks took 27 3s and only made 7.

Even if you put Lebron and Michael Jordan for the team if you play 100 times you will lose 98.

All of Celtics defensive strategy is working cos the Mavericks are shooting poorly. Let them start shooting well and see if Celtics so called defensive strategy works. It's unfortunate that the Mavs did not come close enough to test the Celtics mettle. They only came as close as 8

Kyrie shot 6/19 made 0 3s. I'm fairly certain he's capable of better regardless of who's guarding him

If you're the Mavs you have to see quickly if Kleber cannot knock down shots go small ball on them cos he's minus 1 out there on the court.

raumdeuter:
He loaded the gun, but the other man threw the first punch and assaulted him first

How do you judge this

Guys, Seriously, Do Not Argue or Fight With a Man Holding a Loaded Gun! pic.twitter.com/bw88iFCrcy

If not that most men are now cowards these days why is your response to an unarmed man a loaded weapon. I'd understand if he was getting jumped. That was not the case

You saw how many times he gunned the man down. Self defense argument has flown out the window long time ago unless you can prove the puncher was also armed. If I were judge na for jail that man go quench

As for that video. Fighting an armed security operative you're basically begging for death. Anything you see you take it like that

benji93:
I am going to say this. Kyrie was awful yesterday. He better turn up. He doesn't want to get owned by the Celtics just when his stock is rising again.

That's another underrated worry. Kyrie's floor is very poor. In a series where the opponent has the slight edge you have to go Super saiyan as that will unlock even the role players

A bad game for you in this series cannot be 13pts and 1 assist

A bad game should be 18pts and minimum 4 asts

Luka even in a bad game will still give you 20. Kyrie has to also be at that minimum

Celtics took 15 more 3s and made 9 more.

You don't need rocket science or Laplace transform to know the outcome

We saw the Heat, Cavs get hot in Game 2. Hopefully Mavs can replicate, perhaps they might have to bring THJ from out of the doghouse. And see what he has. Different series requires different things.

It's abundantly clear that the Celtics are going to spam 40 a night. If they're making it at 38% and you're taking much fewer and only making 25% you really don't have a shot

raumdeuter:
Nothing is cast in law it depends on how he argues his case

The dead man threw a punch at him and he can claim he feared for his life

In the case of OJ Simpson and Trayvon Martin that was where I knew anyone can get away with anything as long as you argue it

Only a terrible lawyer will lose this kin case. I can clearly see him loading up his gun right before the argument started right beside the truck. Then when you consider how many times he shot. Only a police officer can get away with that kin murder.

Put me there I can prove the murder is premeditated sef

Roland17:
I think you are focusing too much on your offense versus the defense of the Celtics and how they can manipulate your defense to get what they want.

Lol. Relax bros. You're supposed to win this game in your building. Panic can start if the Mavs lose game 2 as well

This one wey you dey vibrate so. The job is only 25% done

Mavs have 5 assists. Lol. This definitely an outlier game

Roland17:
PJ shoots better at home but to be honest, I am not so worried about him against my Celtics. I have looked at the match ups and how both teams play on both ends and the Celtics have the advantage. If Porz keeps shooting the way he is, you are forced to come out. The Celtics just need to take out one of Kyrie/ Doncic and force the others to win the game.

I agree they have the advantage in certain areas but let that 3ball start falling or stop falling in your end and you will see that the advantage is not as wide as you think.

I still believe you're overreacting off of one game but we shall see sha.

Lively and Kyrie have been non factors on this game. The Mavericks will have to find a way to incorporate them into the offense cos Luka cannot do it all by himself

Chai. That darn 3pter again.

Like I said that's their real edge

Uhh ohh. Mavericks are coming

Ok Mavericks are you cooking something here? Can you cut it to 8 or 10 by the end of the 3rd?
