  1. Man, I was going to root for the Mavs to win the chip cause I'm genuinely a fan of the team and Luka, but you fans are obnoxious. Gotta put someone down just cause he showed some confidence at a young age, and coming from the team that has Luka (who also gets unjust hate from other fans)

    Sorry to say, but you guys might've swayed fate to the Celtics' side, and I fucking HATE the Celtics lol GL to Tatum, Brown, and the rest of the men in green. Sorry Luka, your fans might've cursed you again this year…

  3. They were making gobert look like a fool even when he was off ball they jus had him out of position the mavs had a great game plan j.Kidd is a great coach

  4. celtics only faced 4th and below in playoffs

    they matched
    heat (8th)
    cavs (4th) first round went 7 games
    pacers (6th) they stole the conf semis from knicks with a 7 game performance
    and now mavs (5th)

    which mavs only faced top contenders 4th and above
    mavs matched
    clippers (4th)
    thunder (1st) favored to win against mavs
    wolves (3rd) favored to win against mavs, the next "mj" hype
    and now celtics (1st)

  5. I've been watching Luka since he played for Spain (where my wife is from) and I've always loved Kyrie. Being from Dallas and seeing them both on πŸ”₯ feels like getting a Christmas present and bday gift right after (my bday is Dec 26). πŸ™

  6. I'm starting to wonder did Luka and Kyrie have a bet on a banked shot in this game, and shooting a 3 right in Ant and KAT's face.
