You should remove this video. Obviously Dallas lost so βcomebackβ is irrelevant.
To the cherished person reading this, may you be blessed and may your dreams come to fruition. Be joyful. π
Not unreal if you lose
Worst timeout by coach Kidd, killed the team's momentum. CRAZY!π€¦ββ
Kyrie needs to go back to the Celtics court , go on his knees and apologize to Lucky π
To the cherished person reading this, may you be blessed and may your dreams come to fruition. Be joyful. πΎ
Boston Got Lucky Again, Mavs will win next 7 Gamesππ
Letβs fucking go. Mad disrespect putting +moneyline on my Celtics made me a very happy man tonight.
Would be so f epic if Boston choke this 3-0 lead.
You canβt call this a comeback if they failed. They didnβt even get the lead. Fck this shit itβs depressing to watch. Sweep it is boys. Congrats celtics.
That's Emitt Smith not Steve Nash who got crunk
That foul call on Luka was crazy
Is NOT a comeback, is a come short πππ
Boston was less bang up from dat easy east run
Then Luka fouls out π€¦π½ββοΈMavs defense is way better with Luka not in tho
This not even the full come back the 2 buckets before this started it
I really thought the Celtics lost this game as soon as the Mavs brought it within 3. The Mavs were rolling, their crowd was raucous, and they had all the momentum. Credit to them, they still pulled it out, but it's just another occasion where they give their fanbase a heart attack. I can't see the Mavs getting swept, so I pick them to win Game 4.
Then right after this they couldnβt hit a shot to save their lives
Here I thought they actually came back and won. it's not a comeback if you still lose lol
What comeback π π π go go go go boston β€β€β€β€
as mavs fan lets be honest even if they have kyrie and luka they have young and inexperience role player. JB and JT fell short with the golden state in 2022 they deserve a chip. although i still bet 4-1 π
It's crazy how inconsistent these ref areπππππππππ sometimes they can bump into each other hard then they can't touch each other πππ
Man, can anyone tell why an NBA team like Dallas in this series can't play with a 100% effort on defense like they did in the 4th quarter (22-2 run) just for one given game – is it that hard?
You can only wonder what if Luka never fouled out
To quote the movie "Bring It On"
Dude! You just lost!
It's a wrap man…. i was rooting for the MAVS… but CELTIC are just FAR MORE SUPERIOR in ALL ASPECTS…
Game 4 blowout domination masterclass performance
Refs screwed it. Let's NBA fans enjoy a long series
I don't see comback here
First to 100 or more wins…
