    Probably don’t want to watch or listen to any sports media for the rest of the week, between the Luka takes (some deserving) and Boston slurping it’ll be unbearable.

  2. Reddit-on-Reddit

    At the end of the day the obviously better team won. So proud of this Mavericks team and all they did this year. Didn’t end how we wanted it to but they exceeded my expectations and the future is bright.

    It’s a tough loss to stomach and not a great showing for the series, but I have nothing negative to say.

    I had so much fun watching the Mavs this year, especially after the trade deadline. Earlier in the season, I was worried we were going to miss the playoffs again. I would’ve called you crazy if you said we were making the Finals.

    This was an exceptional season, and I hope we make a few tweaks and run it back next year. As someone who lives where there are no other Mavs fans, it was a pleasure watching with you guys.

    Amazing season man. To go from missing the playoffs to the finals is special. Hardy, Green, Lively Gafford, and Washington will all get better with time. Rough finals for Kyrie, but what a redeeming season overall. And Luka is that dude. Lifelong Mavs fan, easily my favorite team of the post Dirk era

  5. We’ll always have Game 4. They can’t take that away from us.

  6. scotty_puff_jr

    I want Luka and Kyrie to go on a soul-searching trip like Dirk did in the Outback after 2007. The mental lapses and lack of effort were too much to overcome tonight.

    Still a hell of a season, and I’m proud of this group for making it as far as they did. MFFL, fuck everyone else

  7. Not falling into the trap of some of the online discourse wanting to view this series as nullifying 4 months of great Mavs basketball and one of the better seasons in their history.

    Great season, the Celtics were the one team in the league that was better than the Mavs not only in the early season, but even when the Mavs were rolling and in the playoffs. Props to their team building, great roster.

    Looking forward to having this roster, hopefully healthy with a nice tweak or two, for a full season and potentially getting a higher seed for the first time in the Luka era.

    Ultimately, quite proud of the season. You wish the finals had been more competitive but Boston’s roster is just infinitely better. We got to the finals by making 3 very strong west teams play like a much worse version of themselves due to our elite new found defense and having Luka and Kyrie as elite closers.

    Boston made us play like a worse version of ourselves in the finals, yet honestly I’m not sure we would’ve won even playing at our best. The amount of two way players they have feels unfair lol

    Anyway, I trust in the FO to continue to build on this season. This is just the start of the journey, it is so essential to maintain a good team while we have Luka.

    Luka and Kyrie. Thank you for getting us this far. Yes, they both could have played better in the finals, but I don’t want to ignore all the efforts before it. Everyone said that background lacks defensive ability which will limit the chances of winning but they proved otherwise since the trades. Finals just a bridge too far.

  9. Great season but we need a 3rd scorer .

    Kyries legacy took a hit in my opinion.

    Just awful finals

  10. StepBackJanez

    What a season! We will be back in Finals next year!

  11. Not the way we wanted it to end but still a hell of season and finals run.

    I’ll see you jabronis next season, we will be back. Go Mavs

  12. Let Nico cook this off-season and we’ll get to the finals again next year

  13. Hot-Row3643

    Nothing to feel bad about. This team will improve.

  14. killacam9220

    It is going to be alright everyone. Let’s Go Mavs

  15. EarSea5884

    We beat the clips who always had our number.

    Beat the number 1 seed Thunder.

    Gentlemen swept the wolves #1 defense with some insane memories (you can’t f*cking guard me)

    Multiple memories from the regular season including rockets 20+ point comeback with buzzer beater from Exum, kyrie leftie winner vs nuggets, Luka going nuclear for 70+.

    We’ll be back. MFFL.

  16. GhostFaceBrett

    I’m heartbroken that it has to end like this. Nobody expected us to be here. Hell, I didn’t. But I’m really proud of this team, honestly. We definitely need to change some stuff, but I’m here for the ride! This season was definitely one to remember. It sucks it didn’t end how we hoped it would! MFFL!

  17. Sad ending to what was otherwise a tremendous season and achievement. Lots of lessons to learn for a young team and while you never know the future, I’m optimistic about the Mavs returning to the finals.

    PJ and Gafford have been amazing additions, as well as DJJ a diamond in the rough. Hopefully we can re-sign him. Josh also played well tonight.

    We were up against a better and healthier opponent, and they showed it. We should have won one of game 2 or 3, and I think weren’t as far off of the Celtics as the final result made it seem. Kyrie yet to break Lucky’s curse and Luka just wasn’t healthy enough and conditioned enough to keep up. I wish it were different, but it ain’t, so we move on.

    I took a day trip from NYC to watch game 3 and the stadium was electric during the run we had. Despite the outcome, I’m glad I made the trip and got to support the team. Thank you to all of them for such a memorable season with many amazing victories. MFFL

  18. Pauly0906

    Happy for KP. Sad it wasn’t with Luka and the Mavs.

  19. ShadowAgent41

    Very proud of our guys.

    No one expected us to be in the finals but we were there.

    Next season is going to be good

    MFFL we let it ride

  20. FireFlyz351

    It was an amazing season nobody had us in the finals let alone WCF.

    It’s a little sucky how we lost but we’re not in the luxury tax and still have 2 FRPs to work with..

    The West is gonna be tough but in LulKai and Nico I trust.

  21. sunday_nn

    No more pregame anxiety for the next while- love our boys MFFL

  22. I didn’t think we’d make playoffs. Nevertheless finals.

  23. It has been a privilege to watch the Mavs in June y’all.

  24. gdgatlin2

    I’d recommend to all of yall to just hang out in this sub for a while😂 I’m assuming th NBA subreddit is going to be incredibly bad for Mavs fans for a while

  25. xCAMBOOZLEDx

    The obvious: wasn’t the way we wanted it to end, but it’s the way she goes. Just not quite ready.

    Still – what a fun season, and, for what it’s worth, I’ve enjoyed it with all of you. Lotta ups, whole lotta downs, and a magical playoff run. We just happened to run in to one of the most well built team since probably the Warriors. GGs to Boston. See all you degenerates next year.

    PS – yall better not roll up in the Celtics sub with that “Mavs fan coming in peace” bullshit lol have some pride.

  26. eageecute

    r/suns shitting on LUKA. Good luck getting to the finals for that poverty franchise.

  27. romanNood1es

    This was a weird series. I don’t see anybody on the Celtics as a villain. I’m more mad at Bucks for giving up Holiday. He was a good piece for Boston.

  28. PistolPete214

    No shame in losing to a great team. We missed the playoffs last year and made it all the way through to the Finals with a team put together midseason. So excited to see this team together for a full season and watch our young guys develop. This team is still young, will be hungrier than ever, and we haven’t seen the best version of Luka. MFFL

  29. metaI_guru

    This loss sucks but if you’re old enough to remember ‘06 then this ain’t shit.
