The MVP goes too??? Jalen B!
I didn't like how everyone acted like it was a no doubt sweep. I'm still super confident, but i didn't want to give the Mavs any hope.
See y'all for game 6💪🏾💯💯
Can’t wait for them to win at home 😀
If the Celtics let this fester any longer they're going to be a bigger laughing stock than they already are. If they lose this finals it will be an all time clowning.
we getting banner 18 tomorrow, lets go!!!🍀🍀🏆🏆
I predicted Celtics in 5, but did not expect being blown out that bad in game 4. The Celtics better be laser focused to get the job done.
If Boston loses we will finally get a series 🙏
Boston “live by the three, die by the three” Celtics 😅
As celtics haters, we know its mavs in 7💀🙏
PorzinGod gotta play injured or else Celtics got no chances
The Celtics have to play like there life is on the line put porzingis in if not he need to be traded we bleed green
They wanted to be gentlemen
If mavs win game 5 its going to game 7 and im giving it to the mavs.
Game 4 was rigged asf clear as day same as NHL both game 5s will be won by home teams and banners will be hung
So obvious they blew last game! They beat Mavs for the last ten time or more! Now they lose by 38 😂. Nice one! Celtic in 5!
The leprachaun is waiting for ky in the garden
Don’t fall for Vegas tricks ,LAS VEGAS WILL NOT ALLOW DALLAS TO WIN IN BOSTON FAIR WARNING THAT SERIES PRICE IS TO HIGH FOR A DOG LET ALONE TO WIN OUTRIGHT AT +240 on game 5 ITS OVER PAUL PIECE IS RIGHT
Can Boston lose game 5? OF COURSE. And I hope the Mavs believe in it. It took them long enough to wake the hell up!
What I'm trying to say is: if Boston AND Mavs play the way they should, we'll have a anyone-can-win type of game. That's what we, fans of basketball, deserve to watch.
And, yes, whatever happens (outside of JT or JB getting hurt), Boston can still win game 7 at home. It doesn't need to be game 5.
The problem with the hostile in environment of TD Garden is that its hostile for both opponents and the home team😢
If this was Make Believe like the Disney Bubble with fake fans, I would have more confidence in Kyrie but the real fans in Boston seem to affect him
Celtic fan were fighting each other after game 4😅😅😅,,,
Funny how ppl said they wanted to celebrate on their own grounds,,,😅😅
GOOO MAVS 7th!!! GATHER ALL THE STONES AND BUILD AN EMPIRE!!! 💥💪💥.
If Game 5 is close at any point, the pressure on the Celtics is going to be unbelievable!! Let alone having to go back to Dallas for game 6!!
Never seen a finals champ give a game away….to win it at home. Pure trash…
Mavs got this Celtics been cursed by Paul pierce
MJ and LeBron 🧐💪🏾 Go Luka.i bet u the LeBron haters are siiic 😂 They didn’t even notice Luka’s accomplishment 😒😅 They were mad that it wasn’t Kobe or Durant alongside MJ 😵
Pressure on Boston to close this out. Mavs finally got over the hump in game 4 as they felt they could have won games 2 & 3.
As far as major sports go, nba championships right down at the bottom of what is most meaningless. A league where you get up to 7 games to win it all, friends join each other, crybabies/divas are more prevalent, and dynasties happen more easily. Go get ur cupcake title Celtics
The Celtics will run out of gas in Dallas as the Mac’s plays so Fast😅!!!
Yall so over reactionary 😂😂
1 day ant the face of the league
Then mavs almost sweep but they had some pride an won 1
Yall said mavs in 6 Celtics go up 3-0 yall said they done now they won 1 an yall act like mavs just tied the series 😂😂 this why main stream media is dead!
That game 4 was a throwaway game.
This series is over tommorow
Celtics by 20, Celtics intentionally lost game 4 so they could win at home in front of their fans
Lot a Mavs fans finna be crying tomorrow night, like their hero Luka was all red in the face and crying after game 3…. 😢😢
😂😂😂
Game 4 should count for 2 wins for the Mavericks, what happens after that is not really a big deal 😉… I’d love to watch more of games like game 4 though…
The Celtics blew it against the Warriors you can't fully get behind this team they might lose Monday.
Bill Russell, NBA GOAT
I think it will go to Game 7 but Boston wins it.
