Where was this defense all this time

The Mavs are really terrible at free throws. Even their guards. This cannot bode well in close games

Lmao. Even Kleber is hitting 3s

Don't do anything stupid in the 3rd quarter and at some point the Celtics will tap and prep for game 5.

Then you can plan what you do there. Kidd might be on to something with Exum.

Any game you can match Celtics from 3pts half your job is done

Be like Egbon Roland boys comot from club to court today.

Omo

Where has this been

Nothing to see here. This is why we needed to take game 3.

Don't let them get one game.

Damn it's getting real ugly

Absence of Porzingis really showed here. They will definitely cobble him up for game 5

Absolutely got destroyed on the boards as well

12 offensive boards

44 paint points

As expected. Celtics wants to wrap it at their home so they get to celebrate with their fans
This one na giveaway

Look at this joker THJ

We needed just 1 or 2 buckets in game 3 you goofball

Game could really be 2-2

If they can move that guy for a starting caliber piece even if it means adding picks to facilitate the trade it will be huge coup for the Mavericks.

Pressure and lack of experience. The mavs are not as bad as they have played.
Pj Washington and gafford have never experienced playing for a winning team or in the playoffs and suddenly they are starting in a NBA finals. Derrick lively is a rookie.
Yes doncic has been poor defensively but we know that's his weakness and he also been playing with a myriad of injuries.

I am most disappointed in Kyrie because he's the only one who has played at this level before yet he let the team down in game 1 and 2 which was crucial for this series.

As for those saying wolves would have done better
I laugh in Spanish.
The wolves couldn't shut down mavs offense, na Celtics 3 points spamming , well spaced offense them want stop? Gobert will practically be useless against the Celtics.

In addition, the wolves struggled greatly offensively against the mavs , imagine what the Celtics defense will do to them? The Celtics will hold them to 80 points per game and then you also have to consider that the wolves are even more mentally weaker than the mavs. KAT and Gobert will shit their pants in the garden.

The wolves won't lose three in a row to the Celtics even though they don't have anyone on the talent levels of Luka and kyrie, they work more as a unit especially on defense
People look at this Mavs team and try to put them on a pedestal not knowing they over achieved these playoffs, once the nuggets got eliminated I already predestined the Celtics have the championship in the bag provided most of their roster stayed healthy

Same wolves lost three in a row to this mavs team in the WCF and also lost 3 games in a row to the nuggets after going 2-0 up.

. People with revisionist history, something we just saw less than a month ago and someone is already saying the Wolves wouldn't have lost 3 in a row, when they did it in back to back series

The Oilers laid it on the Panthers tonight. The Stanley and NBA Finals have followed similar patterns.

That's the math they're openly playing though. Half of their shots are 3s. Every player on their lineup can spam 3s. Unless you dominate them in the paint or draw substantial amount of fouls your chances of beating them are very slim unless you can go band for band with them at the 3pt line

I was going to say the same thing

It's really about fine margins this game. The Mavs should easily be 2-2 if they were not so bad from 3s and the free throw line.

I don't want to even hear about the Wolves. If not Nuggets that choked away Game 7

That would take some finesse.

They need to offload Kleber and THJ cos they are the two bad contracts on the team

Dallas Mavericks, I know you've got something special for me today.

A spectacular loss?

A blow out win and then unto Game 6 in dallas.

JB already hunting Luka. Early foul on Luka..

Kyrie needs to be exorcized of his Beantown demons. This is rather ridiculous

Absolutely disastrous way to end that quarter by the Mavs

Going from down 1 to down 10 inside a minute and a half

Snatch their soul with the defense. The 8-0 run has been on defense and inside paint scoring before una come Dey talk about 3 ball. This has been about defense.

how can you end the quarter like that? by the way, soon as kleiber came in… everything changed. his two bricks led to 5 or 6 points on the other end
