Mavericks on verge of being swept?
let me move on to the NBA finals all right because the Celtics have taken a 20- series lead in the Dallas after beating the Mavericks 105 to 98 in game two last night it was truly a team effort as Boston led a balanced attack against the Mavericks Drew holiday was Big Time 26 points 11 rebounds three assist and that was on the offensive side of the ball as for his defense do y’all remember what Drew holiday said before the finals when asked about guard and Kyrie Irvin he said quote pray well Kyrie struggled once again in game two scoring just points a seven of 18 shooting from the field 0 for three from deep and that’s where I’m going because Dallas has no chance whatsoever in this series if Kyrie doesn’t get his act together see Drew holiday showing you he ain’t he ain’t Anthony Edwards see Drew holiday didn’t ask for Kyrie he say I got him and woke up that giant Drew holidays a quiet storm he’s already a champion from his days in Milwaukee he’s one of the elite defensive players we’ve ever seen in this game he brings that kind of defensive tenacity to the basketball court remember that big time steal he made in the series against the Indiana Pacers right but he ain’t the only one guarding Kyrie irin Kyrie Irving if it ain’t Drew holiday on him one minut is it’s Derek white on him another it’s Jaylen Brown on him another it’s Jason Tatum on him another it’s porzingis clog in the middle somehow at 7 feet3 it’s Al Horford at 6 feet 11 causing problems they’re all over Kyrie Kyrie shooting 35% from thefe average of 14 points this is not good and and Luca donic with a chest contusion leg sorness and all the brother averaging 30 ain’t got no help nobody’s helping LCA donic so it’s going to be in coming upon Kyrie Irving but PJ Washington you do wear a Dallas Mavericks uniform could you hit some threes please shout out 0 for three yesterday Kyrie Irving hasn’t hit a a three-point shot in eight attempts in this series don’t get me started with Derek Jones he can’t buy a damn basket he’s shooting two a nine from the field Derek Lively the rookie I know people have been getting on him he’s the he’s The Reserve Center coming in behind gaffy because they never play together I want to say this about Derek Lively he lost his mom right before the playoffs he has no siblings and now none of his parents are alive the brother 20 21 years of age and a lot of people look at him and say well you know what he performed during the playoffs against OKC he did against Minnesota remember remember there wasn’t idle time prior to those series but there was idle time between him winning in the Conference Finals and ultimately that week off they have for the NBA Finals as somebody who lost his mama in 2017 as somebody who knows a lot of people who’ve lost their mom that idle time is a you’re laying back by your self you got nobody with you all you do is got additional time to collect your thoughts and remember how lonely you are and remember that the person who loved you most and the one person in this world who loved you unconditionally is no longer there that’s a lot to to deal with so I didn’t realize that until one of my boys reminded me he lost his mom right before the playoffs I totally forgot about that because of the way he had been playing in the playoffs so my heart goes out to Derek lively man he’s going through a lot I’m sure I wish him nothing but the best but I will say this he got to play better gaff’s got to play better cber is supposed to be Luca donic one of his best friends what kind of friendship is that that’s brother you leaving you hanging that’s the equivalent of somebody jumping you and beating your ass on the streets and you run that’s what he doing in this series he hasn’t done I mean he got to get it together he really really does but no one has to get it together more than Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving is too great too magnificent too marvelous too spectacular with too many credentials to be getting handcuffed like this in this series he don’t get it together even if Chris STS for zingis who tweaked his calf now even if he’s compromise if Kyrie Irving don’t get it together Dallas might get swept and I thought they were going to win this series cuz porzingis was hurt poringa has been back and playing he blowing up one minute Drew holiday blowing up another minute Jaylen Brown blowing up period D better get it together or they gonna get run out of here I’m just telling you what I know I’m just telling you what I know

Everybody acting touch when day up we are coming luka let go dallas
MAVS NOT GETTING CALLS SAS
Damn right they're on the way to being swept. Kyries absolutely shook in boston, and the mavericks best shooter (luca) cant play defense for s*** its counter productive when you can put numbers on the board but on the other end allow points to be scored. Im very surprised they even made it this far. Boston is stacked and even with tatum playing horrendous….still doesnt matter. There are no pawns on the celtics. Just kings, and one will always step up for the checkmate
Could the NBA make it anymore possible to loss interest in this series? I mean, come on 3 days between each of the 1st 3 games after they each had like a week off going into the series. 👎👎👎
If Kyrie and company don’t step the hell up it’s going to be an official 🧹, And it pisses me off Because I know the Celtics are completely beatable it’s been showing throughout the playoffs 🍾
Seen Jrue at the airport real chill guy 💯💯💯
Well great, Celtics fans. Stephen A Smith just cursed the team.
It’s all in the script
I didn’t know that about DLively. That’s so sad to hear. I’ll be praying for this young man even as a Celtics fan
Maxie has giving just what he has for the last 5 years but casual fans like scrubs
Luka has been in NBA for 6 years, Stephen A: “Dončik” 😂
🔥
Damn even as a celtic fan you gotta feel bad for Lively. Lost my mom a couple years ago. Prayers to that man.
Wow that's Deep speaking on Lively 😯🙏🏀condolences to the brother💯
I don't know why I watch these things. They repeat the same thing day after day after day. I stopped watching it after a minute.
When did Stephen A switch from hating the Celtics to admiring the Celtics.😅
What's scary if you are the Mavs, the Celtics were 25% from 3 in game 2. They had the best 3 percentage in the league at 38%. Its how they bury teams. Every once in a while, they have an insanely cold night and they go below 30% but its rare. So for the Celtics to have one of their worst 3 point nights and still win by 7, thats an ominous sign for Dallas, because they wont be that cold all series. That was what they needed to win
Does this guy Steven ever learn? His overreactions…can he not have a job?
Want Dallas to win but I don't think they will. Celtics have a calm energy to them and they have been consistent going to finals and not winning, I think this is thier yr.
Stephen A always gives out facts in a funny way 😂
Love the man
If dallas lose that's show why kyrie got carry by LeBron during cleavland
It’s getting to the point you almost feel sorry for Dallas and they all millionaires.. 😂
IF Mavs dont give Jaden Hardy a real shot to help the mavs offense find more rhythm this series is over.
I know Steven will like to see Dallas gets swept but ain’t gonna happen.I know Boston will end up winning but in 5 or 6 games
Its looking like it but i think the Mavs might win one
Celtics gotta be ready to take on Dallas's best effort cause this is basically a do-or-die game for Dallas trying to not fall down 0-3. The Celts need a good 3pt shooting night and for a few more JT shots falling. It'll be interesting to see if they commit so much help on JT because all that help been leading to so many wide open shots. But I love the way the C's played defense so far, especially full court pressure and them constantly hounding Kyrie off the 3pt line and forcing him down into help defenders. I got more confidence in the Celtics this year than past years and really think they can take this game. But it's probably gonna be their toughest test of the playoffs thus far because Kyrie, PJ, Jones, Hardy will surely play better for their home fans. Should be a damn good game tomorrow night.
He said the same thing about the nuggets and it went to game 7
Hopdfully it goes down g7
kleber looking like he plays in a recreational mens league
Stephen A Jinx at it again lol, now I know the Mavs are going to take a game or two lol
Celtics in 5
Series will be 2-2 going back to Boston
Overraction stephen a smith back on the scene
u losing your mind do you know who the Dallas Mavericks are? Do you know who Luka Doncic is? Do you know who Kyrie Irving is? you seem to not know who the MAVS team are! Do you who beat Minnesota (who beat the Denver champs) with modern MJ?
I’m glad SAS is finally starting to give Luka his respect
Celtics won’t sweep. Stop it please.
Boston is 34-1 when holiday scores 14 points or more.
It's crazy how much Jrue has outperformed Kyrie 🤯
I feel like this series it’s over already I called Dallas in 6 but I don’t think it’s possible. This Bostons team too deep. This series was over for either team if any of those team went up 2 games to nothing 😢
Of course its easier to say mavs and irving playing shit instead of Boston playing too good or playing elite defense on the mavs
then why @Stephen A. Smith you said Mavs at 6? Molly said Boston.
Mavs bouta get swept
Love u steevie❤❤❤❤❤
SAS has flipped teams every series this year. He don’t stand on nothing. Watch the Mavs come back and win at home and then he will jump back on them. Dude can’t pick his nose.
I lost my mom and could not even function…prayers to that man…always love your take Stephen…been a fan for decades…Go Celtics!
I don't love that KP is hurt again. But if the Celtics can get game 3, they can get this series over with pretty quick.
By now you should how to properly say Dončić.
Dallas in 6😅
