Our 2nd star needs to show up if we want to even have a chance.
I can’t believe there’s a 10 day break between the WCF and the Finals
Yeah it was a terrible game shooting for everyone outside of Luka.
Need to make some defensive adjustments and stop leaving the corners open. Give them the SGA midrange and take away the 3
Yikes
that’s been a game. learned from it, fix mistakes, wrap it up, on to the next one
# GO MAVS
## if you don’t believe, you shouldn’t be here

That Q3 was a glimmer of hope. However, Lively got 2 fouls in just one quarter and two travels was the momentum breaker. Can’t hit our open threes, Kai can’t string anything offensively, gave up a lot of offensive rebounds on the opposition and we didn’t dictate our physicality on defense.
Mavs in 5
Gotta stay off social media/espn the next couple of days. It’s gonna be a Celtics slurp fest.
The Celtics running plays for Tatum against our gleague squad like he’s a make a wish kid up 25 with 3 minutes left is pretty pathetic.
I still think my plan of Luka scoring 77 in the 3rd would have worked
Anyway – regroup, reset and FEEL SO FUCKING BAD THAT YOU NEVER PLAY/COACH SUCH DOGSHIT BALL AGAIN
#IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE, YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE
close to it being the win game 1 close out in 5 timeline but the lose game 1 win in 6 timeline will do
PJ had some great effort plays but didn’t hit his threes, Kyrie was off af and Porzingis managed to stop our pnr by going into drop coverage and disrupting our lob attempts with his length. Couple adjustments have to be to use the pnr as soon as KP leaves the floor, let Luka dictate the pace otherwise the role players will just run into the paint which doesn’t rly lead to anything, potentially double KP on the elbow if he stays this hot and most importantly pray that Kyrie just had an off game and didn’t just fall into a shooting slump as soon as the Finals started lol.
Lol why are they talking to Tatum? He stat padded in trash time lol
welp on the bright side we’ve never lost 2 in a row so 🫡
DONT LOSE HOPE MFFLS! MAVS IN 6!!
Well let’s hope that was just the typical Mavs G1 stinker
– Kyrie was terrible
– Role players missed good looks and had general game 1 jitters
– Boston hit a billion threes
– KP had a generational first half
Shit happens 🤷🏻♂️
Everyone needs to be better outside of Luka not much else to say
Everybody except Luka should be ashamed of themselves
Chill everyone. Boston only put up 107 points with lights out 3pt shooting. They aren’t unbeatable. We made too many mental mistakes. Missed a lot of buckets we usually make.
Game 2 we ball out and the narrative will shift as we will have stolen home court.
Stay calm and Go Mavs.
Celtics made in a lab.. hella boring and no personality
Kyrie
Step up brother.
Are Boston fans always bitches in opponent game threads? I dont ever remember a game thread with so many boston losers coming over to our thread to talk shit in replies.
Kyrie shat the bed. Gafford can’t play against the Celtics. Need more lively.
Kai didn’t show up, missing layups, missing open 3’s too, we need more PJ post up and damn hardy cooked in garbage time.
we win this game if kai plays 80% his normal self, what a disgraceful performance, there was a moment in the third where it was ripe for the taking
Lively has to be smarter with fouls as we looked much better w him on the court. Kyrie needs to be better all around. Kidd needs to stop experimenting with shitty lineups. Need to get the ball moving more.
Annoying part is Celtics have played the same way all season and we somehow wasn’t prepared for it. That’s disappointing and on the coach.
The Mavs just got outclassed. Kyrie has the potential to be the second best player in this series but he wasn’t even a top 5 player in the court tonight. Very disappointing performance from him.
Positive: Luka, Hardy, and other then the first quarter we were fine and it was a close game. (not counting garbage time) (obviously it’s a 4 quarter game so it’s no excuse)
Negative: Everything. No assists. Gafford/Lively non factor. DJJ/Kyrie no show.
I sound like a timberwolves fan I know
Cut it to 8, those two travel calls kind of killed our momentum, then they blew it back up to 22. Should of never been in that spot in the first place but the only silver lining of that game lol.
Me going into hiding for the next 3 days after watching that
This is on Kyrie man. Honestly lost all faith on him actually having a good game in Boston cause for some reason, he ALWAYS chokes and struggles real hard whenever we play them. Mavs winning the chip though, just extremely disappointed in him.
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE, YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE!!!
Their 9 blocks stands out to me. They clearly saw something Minnesota didn’t. Their rim protection was unreal.

Everyone relax. Series isn’t over.
Kyrie you left the team 5 years ago. Jesus christ get the fuck over it. Their team is just overpowered on pure talent the only way we were ever gonna win this series is by depending on our stars to do what they do. This will be a sweep if he keeps bricking open threes, tripping over himself, and dribbling it off his foot
Luka being literally the only one who showed up to play hurts pretty bad. Kyrie has to help set the tone and calm the others down. Our centers got destroyed.
We lost that one quarter where KP just bombing 3s..we good kyrie is badly needed..he cant go MIA
Dallas has got to figure out a way to limit the open threes and force you to beat us from the midrange .
Dallas positives are that Lively really looks good on the perimeter and Kyrie had at least 8 shots makeable shots that he missed. And a Porzingis heater like that won’t happen every game
Negatives are that I don’t see a way we can stop a team from putting up 40+ threes especially when they shoot so well from outside. Dallas needs their inconsistent role players to actually show up and I don’t trust that they will enough to take the series. Derrick Jones Jr and Josh Green are absolutely brain dead if they aren’t shooting threes, dunking the ball, or playing defense.
Hopefully Kidd and the staff have some ideas. Mavs in 6
People keep saying Boston can’t keep shooting like this… but yea they can. 47% field, 38% from 3.
They have hovered close to those numbers in their “bad” games much of the playoffs. And they have also had games they shot way better than that. These are essentially their normal averages.
Again, hoping for them to go “ice cold” for 4 games is silly. Ain’t happening. Only way Mavs win this series is ifLuka and Kyrie go absolutely nuclear. That’s just the reality of it. Boston is a super deep, and they can shoot at a very high clip. They have the better roster.
Not gonna be able to win games, or this series with kyrie scoring 12. Luka and kyrie are basically gonna need to combine for close to 70 a night for us to win. At least in the 60+ range. That’s the only way.
Bro Luka finally got help but help wasn’t helping tonight…
