predicted that the Mavericks would win the series in seven games this was the team that I expected to show up the final score was 122 to 84 as the Mavericks kept hopes alive winning game four and making the series a 3-1 deficit for a while it looked like Dallas might break the 1998 Chicago Bulls record for the largest margin of victory in NBA finals history now the Mavs are moving on to Boston in game five and they’re trying to do something that no team has ever done before which is come back from a 30-0 deficit to win a series Luca donic had 29 Points five rebounds and five assists on the evening but the part that stood out to me the most was the fact that he was moving his feet defensively he looked like he heard all of the criticisms from Brian windhorse and from the basketball Community as a whole and he looked more motivated more energetic and like he was just trying harder defensively his co-star Kyrie Irving had 21 points six assists and four rebounds on an efficient shooting night the story of the night though was The Supporting Cast the role players for the Mavericks finally look like the role players that we has seen throughout the Western Conference playoffs guys like Derek Lively Dante exom and Tim Hardaway all scored in double figures as the Mavericks had a total of five players scoring in double digits if you ask me Lively proved in game four that he hasn’t been getting enough minutes and maybe Gafford is just taking too many Lively was making the hustle plays he was being a force in the interior and he was giving his team plenty of Second Chance opportunities on the night he had 11 points and 12 rebounds and was certainly an energetic spark for this group this game was basically never close and was rarely in question as Boston had waved the White Flag by the 2-minute mark of the third quarter it looked like they were not ready to win the championship on this evening like they had taken their foot off the gas we’ve seen this a lot throughout NBA finals history and if I’m being honest this game kind of reminded me of game four of the 2017 NBA Finals like we we all knew that the 2017 Golden State Warriors were the more powerful and more talented team but on their home floor the 2017 Cleveland Cavaliers just got hot from three-point distance and they had an emphatic Victory to keep their hopes alive before Golden State went back to their building to win the series in five at the end of the day it was kind of fool’s gold in 2017 and you kind of wonder if that’s the case now in 2024 envisioning a team as talented as Boston and as def Ely sound as Boston winning four straight games is really hard for me to picture but if the Mavericks do happen to steal game five in Boston then things really start to become very very interesting it’s not just that the Celtics disappeared on this evening as Jaylen Brown who was my finals MVP up to this night only finished with 10 points on three of 12 shooting and one of five from three-point range Jason Tatum was four of 10 and just one of four from three Point distance you know they’re going to come out with a better performance in game five and probably a much better defensive effort as well but the question remains will these Dallas Mavericks role players play to the same level that they played in game four if they do then game five will be anybody’s game but so far they’re one out of four in finals games for supporting Kyrie and Luca ultimately this just reiterates something that we’ve been saying throughout these playoffs is that this Dallas Mavericks team has a ton of a fight and that they don’t just lay over and you can never count them out if anything it’s nice to see them have a respectable effort to keep their hopes alive and to remind people that they aren’t the garbage that the media has making them seem like over the last few days a lot of things have to go right for Boston to win this fifth game so let me know Mavericks fans how are you feeling about your chances do you have hope for your team or do you feel like they’re just delaying the inevitable Boston has been known in the past for choking significant series leads in the playoffs but a 30 series lead is something else entirely I do think it’s going to happen in the NBA at some point but this being the series I’m not so sure just to throw in a fun fact Jason Tatum was neg 33 tonight on his plus minus he’s now the first and only player in NBA history to be -30 or worse in multiple games in the NBA Finals his chances of getting the finals MVP are getting Slimmer and Slimmer and he’s definitely going to need to step up in game five because the Mavericks are not done throwing punches so what do you guys think is there any hope for this Dallas team or is it all just theater at this point I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comment section below thanks for watching as always make sure to like And subscribe for more basketball content and I’ll see you

The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad’s recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it’s rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

  1. If you can’t get motivated to play defense in the playoffs, you shouldn’t be there.

  2. I really dont like it when Arnett's commentary starts sounding like a laman SAS soundbite..

    The Mavericks won because of a number of circumstances;

    1) They played with more energy and won the 50/50 balls
    2) The Celtics played with compacency, they lost theit edge and started settling for more perimeter shots while the Mavs took it to the rim
    3) Boston had difficulties on their interior defense due to their big boy Porzingis being out
    4) While Dallas were 3-0 down, they did find successes with some runs they were able to make in those games which they were able to execute from the jump, which left the Celtics a little shell shocked

    I am not saying Dallas will win the series, but I do think they have a chance but what we have seen is that the Celtics are a team who have had more answers than questions this year so I do expect them to make further adjustments. I really do hope Dallas find a way to win game 5 because game 6 will be epic!

  3. Love the Channel…. Could you do a vid debating whether Jordan’s 6-0 Finals record is or isn’t as impressive as people make it out to be? I would argue the latter. It’s the “Marciano Effect”. Perfect record but not considered the greatest because your competition wasn’t on par with some of the other greats. Those Jazz, Sonics, Trailblazers, Suns teams were good. But not top ten greats. Magic had those Celtics and 76ers. Bird had those Lakers. Lebron managed to win a title against a team that set the all time season won record. Dirk won against what we thought was a Juggernaut. The record matters but doesn’t who those records are against matter also? I still think Jordan is the greatest (not by much) but people lean too much into the 6-0. Thanks. Great channel

  4. Typical Luka rider ignoring the turnovers and every other issue.. Im shocked.. didnt expect you to be like the casual base blaming everyone else but the leader of the team.. Guess it was all a front caring about old school basketball

  5. If Tatum receives the MVP, that would be because the NBA needs to keep pushing the narrative that he is a superstar, and one of the heirs of the NBA, because he hasn't done anything in 4 games to deserve the MVP, in fact, Luka deserves it more even by losing if the lose in Boston in game 5. If they win in Boston in game 5 and they don't give the finals MVP to Brown, it would be like when LeBron got the IST MVP above Anthony Davis, but worse.

  6. To me it feels like Doctor Strange is J kidd being the coach. Luka is the most powerful so he's Thor. And Kyrie is Iron Man, has the most storylines going and is the vet of the team. Don't be surprised if Luka carries hard and Kyrie makes the final shot again like the snap.

  7. i’m never gonna say it’s impossible. likely? obviously not. but if there was ever a team to blow a 3-0 lead, it’s this celtics super team
