Kyrie heard the criticisms, was in the gym 3 hours before the game started. 20 points in 21 minutes. They had better win this series to have any shot at redeeming himself.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:39am On Jun 13, 2024
Mavs cannot get any separation cos they won't take these 3s. 14 in a half will simply not cut it

Anyway the aim should be a win even if it is by half a point.

Not been impressed by the role players in the slightest

In the meantime,

Reporter:For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA finals where you have two black head coaches. Given the plight sometimes of black coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? do you take pride in this? How do you view this or do you not see it at all?
Joe Mazulla:I want to know how many of those have been Christian coaches?

Pindrop Silence in the Room

Mazulla is a dawg.
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 2:40am On Jun 13, 2024
Let's see if the Celtics go on their usual 3rd quarter slump or if JB wakes up.

I like him. He's not down with the bullshit. You should hear what he said when he was asked about the British royal family

Heard it, I have been laughing since. I might not like Celtics, but I now like him. He is good peoples.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:59am On Jun 13, 2024
These boys are finna get swept.

Jones and Washington are refusing to take the open 3s. They don't play good enough defense to remain on the floor if they can't shoot

At a point it's simple math. You will not separate or rattle these guys if you can't even take or make wide open 3s
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:00am On Jun 13, 2024
Now 7pt down how do you go on a quick run
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:13am On Jun 13, 2024
Wolves would probably have done better than this Mavs tbh. At least those ones sabi play defense small.

Nuggets will be scratching their head right now.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:15am On Jun 13, 2024
Omo this Mavs bench and role players too useless my goodness. There's nothing any one player is particularly good at

Tillman has more 3s than Kleber, Hardaway, Jones and PJ Washington
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:15am On Jun 13, 2024
12-2 run in the space of 3mins. grin

Round this shit up jare.

Every game has at least one DWhite block
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:19am On Jun 13, 2024
Where is the spacing? Where is the ball movement? This is pure CTE ball. You're down double digits still taking contested 2s and passing up 3s.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:19am On Jun 13, 2024
This series no go reach game 5. This Mavs are cooked.

This one shock me o. They are not even giving Kyrie and Luka a fighting chance.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:20am On Jun 13, 2024
I don't think the Celtics team is specialby the way. We suck. Denver and wolves would have given them a run for their money.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:20am On Jun 13, 2024
Methodical! I need this game 3 like a game 7.

It's an embarrassing mismatch.

Ratings nightmare for NBA cos nobody is watching Game 4

Re: The NBA Begins by BlueMann: 3:26am On Jun 13, 2024
So that is how these people will be swept

I don't even trust that Denver cos those ones no sabi spam 3s.

You can't beat this team without competent 3pt shooting. Even if you don't match them at least compete

Celtics are 16/40, from 3

Mavericks are 6/17 from 3

You can't win a game in today's NBA with a team taking 23 more 3s

Pure embarrassment. If this was their plan all along, they should have let Minnesota win their series.

Adam Silver and nem are absolutely fuming right now.

A player of this caliber should not wait for criticism before he does what hes got to.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:27am On Jun 13, 2024
I told you guys from game one that the Mavs don’t matchup well against the Celtics, una say I Dey overreact. On Luka, the Celtics are pretty much giving him the Embiid treatment. He doesn’t have the conditioning to see out 4 quarters of a physical series that forces him to defend on the other end.

Denver can get hot from 3s with MPJ, Murray, KCP and the occasional ones from Justin Holiday and Braun.

Nuggets would've given us a better final.

Just blow that game 7 for nothing.

Doncic has no help in this series. Kyrie just turn up today while the rest of the rooster forgot how to shoot the ball.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:31am On Jun 13, 2024
Na only Celtics fans go watch game 4. grin
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:31am On Jun 13, 2024
Simple math

What were they looking at since 1st quarter that they refused to take 3s?

What do you now do in practice when you're scared to shoot on your own floor
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:33am On Jun 13, 2024
Josh Green taking his first shot in the entire game. grin
